Pumpkin Farm with Reese's Class!

Happy Halloween!

Reese and Harper in gymnastics

You know, I never thought I'd have 3 girls in gymnastics.  But right now, that's what we do.  Harper asks me almost daily if she gets to go to gymnastics today.  She and Reese both love it!

Ella's Kindergarten Graduation/Reese's Preschool Celebration

A little late, but here are a few end of school pictures!

Reese's Make a Wish Photo Shoo

Some of you have heard the story of Reese getting to do a make a wish photo shoot in a park in downtown Tacoma.  Picture me, all 3 kids, and a dog in a park with squirrels who are not afraid of people or dogs.  I knocked over Harper once when Bella pulled my arm to chase one of these devil squirrels.  I also didn't realize that they wanted pictures of all 3 kids.  So Ella is in her gymnastics leotard because we were heading there after the photo shoot.  And Harper wouldn't pose for pictures at all until the very last set of pictures.  But, they still managed to get some amazing shots.  Here are just a few.  Enjoy.

Dirty!

Since it's totally against my nature to let my kids get this dirty, its probably a good thing. Sigh, Damons going to kill me when he gets home and sees his girls covered head to toe in dirt. Oh well. They are having fun!

Nap time

Starting about 6 months ago I had to lay down with Harper to get her to take a nap. What started as a pain is now one of my favorite times. Because once she falls asleep I get to see her peaceful little angel face. I pray for her and just love her! I'm thankful for those times.

Harper and Reese do gymnastics

Ella has done gymnastics for a long time. But recently Reese has been doing it to and even Harper (mommy and me gymnastics). They are so cute to watch. Reese is thrilled that in 1 session at the YMCA in Tacoma she has been moved up to advanced preschool gymnastics.

Christmas Programs

I love that our new church decided to do Christmas programs this year.  It's so much fun to watch our kids be the characters they are in front of people.  Sorry about the video quality, it's tough when there is a Harper around. :-)  Ella is in the bottom right of hers.  Reese is the one shouting with furrowed brows, or with her dress in her mouth! Sorry, the sound isn't working, but I'll have to fix that later!

Reese's preschool pics

Absolutely love this picture!!

Fall Festival

I love Gig Harbor for many reasons.  One is that the park system throws several festivals each year that the girls LOVE going to.  We often have people join us, and this year the Mastans came down for the fall festival.  Train rides, petting zoo, games, and of course candy.  They had a blast.

Our budding athletes.

Unfortunately, we don't have any current pics or videos of Ella's gymnastics.  But she is getting better all the time and has a blast in Level 1 gymnastics.  Harper's new favorite is tennis, much to Damon's delight.  This is 2 months ago, she is already so much better.  But this is where she started! 

 

Reese started playing soccer this summer and is now playing soccer again at the indoor soccer center.

Harper is growing up

Although she is similar to her sisters in many ways, she is definitely becoming her own person.  And she is definitely a goofy girl!

Wow, it's been awhile.

I cannot believe it's been nearly a year since my last post.  I suppose I will just add a few recent pictures to update!  Starting with Sister playtime!
