Circus ~ September 2009

Driving to the circus

Elephants doing tricks

The tigers were Ivan's favorites. He especially loved the white ones:)

My dad was a good sport and came with us...he supplied the treats:)

Cool tight rope tricks

As soon as we walked through the doors Ivan picked out a big bag

of cotton candy and a wizard hat

He also picked out a HUGE snowcone

We had a great time at the circus. It was really fun. The kids really got into it and loved the

animals, clowns and other performers. We had great seats and a great night.

Soccer ~ September 2009

Mila and Tianna goofing off

Ivan and Chase with sticks and a ditch

Mila and Tianna waiting to do something....

Thanking team for a good game. At this level they don't track scores. Everyone is a winner!

Mila has started her first season of soccer. We are more of a softball & basketball family but we thought we would give it a shot. She is on the team with her best "sister" Tianna so they have fun goofing off together. It works since their team name is the "Goofy's".

Ivan's First Day of Preschool ~ September 2009

Ivan was very excited for his first day of preschool. He made sure we didn't forget his rock and roll shirt, rock and roll backpack and his rock and roll hair. Gotta love boys!

Mila's First Day of 1st Grade ~ September 2009

Haircuts! ~ August 2009

Mila cut several inches off her hair and went back to her "bob" cut. She is very excited to start 1st grade and wanted a new look:) Ivan also wanted a new look for preschool so we kept the sides short but spiked the front. He thought it was pretty cool. They turned out great!

The Easy Bake Oven ~ August 2009

I don't know what to say about the Easy Bake Oven? Mila really likes it so that is good enough for me. We have some trouble getting it out of the oven because of how high it rises, but with a little frosting it looks great!

Ivan at the Ape Cave 2009

Ivan and Brian took a special trip over to the Ape Caves. They had a great time spelunking and exploring.
