Dodgers/Phillies game 3 - this is the one the Dodgers won!

Bobby went to all three playoff games this week at Dodger stadium - I just went to the first one, Sunday night. Mikey and Ashly joined us.

PS - poor poor Dodgers.

apple picking!

We all went up the mountain to Grandma and Grandpa's last weekend and picked apples to make apple stuff with (you know, sauce, baked goodies, etc.) But, with everyone involved, it was bound to turn into a trip more focused on walking, keeping all kids in sight, and throwing rotten apples at each other. It was the best.

Jack - yup, he's throwing, too!

what jack does all day

Jack was pretty proud of himself as he stacked the Campbell's soups and watched them fall. Later this morning, just before leaving to take Alyssa to Kindergarten, Jack fell off the guest bed and somehow managed to hit both the front AND back of his head, bleeding on both sides. He cried for 16 seconds, then went back to jumping around like a maniac. The pictures of him in the orange are the "after" the fall shots, AND showing off his tank shirt for his great grandpa, who used to drive them!

pumpkin patch kids

Went to pumpkin patch again this week - third time for Alyssa and me, second for Sidney and Jack. Hopefully the last, not that I didn't love it, but it's expensive and overwhelming. This time we brought along Jeremiah and Annie, too. Here are some highlights....
