Gardner Village and the WITCHES!!

We went to Gardner Village to check out all the witches and had a really fun night. We dressed all the kids in their halloweem costumes so they would fit right in.

Bryson wanted to shot all the witches with his cap gun.

All the kids together on the bridge over looking the witches in the row boat.

Dancing with the witches in the middle of the village.

I love these kids, they are so cute.

Britton had to be so serious all night. Check out that face.

Parker was happy to take a picture at every witch.

My favorite witch of the night.

Gardner Family Fall 2008!

Mission Get Together

Dan has a mission get together every four months with some companions from New York. We get together and eat, talk and the kids play. He loves to see these guys and they all have so much in common. I think that it is so great how they have all stayed in contact with each other for so long. Thanks Paul and Megan for hosting it was a blast.

A quick picture of all the kids. They all played so good together.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip!!

Bryson's class went to the pumpkin patch today for their field trip and had a wonderful time. His teacher is so wonderful she taught them all about how pumpkins grow. They read a pumpkin story ate pumpkin seeds and got to pick a pumpkin of their own. Parker, Abby and I had a fun time to.

Here's Brysons class

Abby found her pumpkin and she was so excited.

Bryson claiming his pumpkin so no one else could get it.

Miss Angela reading the pumpkin story.

Parker swinging on the tree swing.

This was the funniest go round.

Gavin Michael McCormack

We got to watch Macy, Jake and Gavin on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. I loved holding and feeding Gavin. He is such a good baby. He didn't cry one time. He is doing so much better and he is gaining some weight also.
He was just looking around and I thought his outfit was so cute. Abby was asleep so I was able to lay him on the floor without being loved to much by Abby.

Look at that cute little face.

He was getting a little sleepy.

Thanks Michael and Lisa for letting us watch the kids it was a blast.

Crazy soccer boys!!!

I love Saturdays because I love to watch my boys play soccer. I get so disappointed when I hear it is going to rain because I don't want the games to be cancelled. The boys play so well and enjoy playing so much. I'm sad that the season is coming to an end.

Here's adorable Ellie trying to keep warm at Bryson and Carter's game. I think that Cassie did a great job bundling her up.

Britton battling for the ball.

Bryson getting ready for the half to start.

Bryson before we took off some of the layers. It had been raining and snowing earlier that morning.

Britton in motion. And Spencer trying to steal the ball away. Funny because he is on his team.

Both the boys played so good. Britton scored two goals and Bryson scored three. They were both very proud.

Happy 5th Birthday, Bryson!!!

Bryson turned 5 today. He is such a sweet boy. He loves his preschool class and all the fun and new things that he gets to do. He has just started to read a little bit and loves his flash cards. He loves playing knights, super heros, gameboy, board games, building anything and just about anything else. He is such a great helper with Abby and is great brother to Britton and Parker also. He has such a cute smile and has a real tender heart. We love Bryson so much in our home and feel so blessed that we have him in our family.Bryson decided to go to Chuck E Cheese's for his birthday. We had such a great time. We were so happy that some of the family could come also and share in his special day. Thanks to Uncle Michael, Macy, Jake, Aunt Cassie, Carter, Hallie, Ellie, Uncle Matt, Aunt Amy, Ethan, Sarah, and Grandpa and Grandma Mack for coming to Chuck E Cheese.
We had a great day we went to the donut shop early before school, then we got hair cuts, then we went to the 5 year well check(terrible shot experience with all three kids screaming at once) then we came home and had a picnic lunch(all of Bryson's favorite foods), then naptime, finally time for Chuck E Cheese, and then back to our house for presents and ice cream sundaes. It was such a fun filled day.

Bryson had no idea what this game was but he was certain he wanted it.

His favorite present, he was so excited to finally have a dog.

Parker's favorite ride.

Britton showing the little brother who's boss.

Abby was not liking this ride, can you tell?

Bryson going for a ride.

Great haircut!!! Notice gameboy in hand, he loves that thing.

Even the night before we had to have mouse pancakes to prepare to go to Chuck E Cheese the next day. Great job on the pancakes Dad.

Dinosaurs!!!

While Britton and Bryson are away to school, Parker and I get a little one on one time. The time is spent playing board games, playing hide 'n' seek, playing play doh and many more fun activities. But Parker's favorite thing to do is play dinosaurs. Today we had to set up all the dinosaurs with their families and stood them tallest to smallest. Then we went to battle. The sharp teeth always win. I love to hear, Mommy will you play dinosaurs with me, please.
