GOTR Practice 5k

Haydn had her practice 5k today. Last practice before the race on Saturday. I think she is ready for the real deal (I guess there is no turning back)!  Hannah was a Jr coach this year. She ran the last stretch with Haydn, glad I got a picture of them running together! Hannah really does love her sister sometimes!

Trunk or Treat

Marcia's real estate had trunk or treat tonight. Hannah dressed up but just helped Grandma. Haydn actually walked around getting candy then helped Grandma. It was cold and windy tonight. It was fun, minus the wind!

 

 

 

 Haydn was having fun, I guess her serious look!

 

Pumpkin Carving 2015

We (Wes and the girls) carved pumpkins tonight. Wes enjoys the creative project and the girls did most of the carving this year!

new siding

We had our house resided last week. It all stemmed from our half moon window in our master bedroom. When it rained really hard, it would leak through the half moon window. So instead of band-aiding the problem, $2000. here $2000 there we decided to bite the bullet and reside the whole house. I really LOVE the trim around the windows the most. The white makes the house pop! Hopefully we will notice a big change next summer with the half moon window gone. 1). our bedroom faces the west, the west sun it brutal in the summer. 2). the new window is more energy efficient. The new color of siding in slate grey. We really love they new siding!

 see the missing house wrap?  Yes, there was missing house wrap in different spots on the house. Well that should help with our heating/cooling bill! They took off all the old and replaced new wrap on the WHOLE house!

Howells 2015

We went to Howells today for our annual pumpkin patch trip. Since it was a high of 86 today it didn't really feel like a fall tradition (we still had fun though)!

 Haydn doesn't look thrilled and Hannah is meditating!

 





1 mile fun run

This week was Homecoming for us. Friday was the 26th annual 1 mile fun run for grades 4th-7th. Both girls did great in the run and had a great time. The high school cross country team runs with the kids. They are broke down into 2 groups. 4th and 5th grade and then 6th and 7th run together. Great tradition!

Hannah's New Room

Finally getting around to posting pictures of Hannah's redecorated room. This year she celebrated her "golden birthday". We did a little extra for her this year. She was tired of her loft (I was tired of changing the sheets! Win-win for both of us)!  She got a queen sized bed, new bedding, dresser, and painted it grey! It looks so different, not a little girls room anymore!
