Jamison at the park

After school, Jamison loves to go play at the park.  One day, she had a picnic with her friend Ellie and they played in the sand.

She also loves to play on the slides.

And, she has fun digging for treasures.

Trick-or-treating on Halloween

On Halloween, the girls went trick-or-treating with some friends.  Here they are posing before we left to go trick-or-treating.

volunteering in Jamison's classroom

On Halloween, I volunteered in Jamison's classroom.  I was the cooking volunteer and helped the kids make waffle faces.  Jamison and her friends sure enjoyed eating waffles.

Jamison loves playing puzzles and such.  She showed me how well she could do them when I volunteered.

Halloween parade at school

There was a Halloween parade at Jessica's school on Halloween.  Jessica once again wore her witch costume.

Before the parade started, all of the parents acted as paparazzi.  I got a few photos of Jessica with her friends.

The whole class also posed for a photo too.

Then, all the kids went inside for a Halloween party.  First, they gathered for some songs.

Here is a portion of the songs that they sung.

The kids eventually went to their tables to enjoy a Halloween treat.

Here is a photo of Jessica with some of her friends at the parade.

trick or treating at Daddy's work

The girls went trick or treating the day before Halloween at Daddy's office. Jessica went as a witch and Jamison went as Ariel.

Jamison has fun at the park

Jamison loves playing at the park at school.  Here she is having fun in the slide.

Jessica goes to see the Wizard of Oz

Back in October, Jessica and I went to see the Wizard of Oz with some friends.  She loved the show and was happy to get all dressed up too.

carving Halloween pumpkins

We carved our Halloween pumpkins the weekend before Halloween.  Jamison unfortunately missed out on this activity as she was napping.

Jessica actually carved her own pumpkin this year.

She also decorated another pumpkin with drawings (moon and star design), which I helped her cut out.

Since Jamison missed out on this fun time, Jim designed an Ariel pumpkin for her.

Here was our final batch of pumpkins.

Jessica loses another tooth

Jessica lost another tooth recently.  Now, she is missing her top two front teeth!

after school activities

Both girls are involved in lots of after school activities.  Jessica has been working on her endurance and stroke technique at swim lessons.

The girls also love to go gym class. Sometimes, Jamison takes a quick nap in the car.

girls at school

Here are some things that have been happening at the girls' school recently.  Jessica was chapel reporter back in October.  This is where a child describes what they have been working on in their class.  She did a great job!

Every morning, Jamison runs into her classroom to play with the animal figurines at school.

Before Halloween, she also had a great time decorating her pumpkin with her 3rd grade buddies.

Disneyland October 2013 Day 4

On our last day at Disneyland, the girls still wanted to spend more time meeting characters.  They ran into Belle as soon as we got into the park.

And, Jessica met Mary Poppins at Main Street.

Then, we did a few more rides before heading home.

Disneyland October 2013 Day 3

On our third morning at Disneyland, we enjoyed a breakfast with Disney characters.  Before breakfast, the girls posed with their favorite Goofy statue.

Then, it was off to the breakfast where the girls enjoyed meeting with all of the characters.

We then went back to Disneyland where we rode the Teacups.

And, the girls had fun in Toon Town too.

Jamison decided this was all very exhausting and finally passed out in her stroller.

At night, Jessica changed into her villain dress.

Disneyland October 2013 Day 2

After Mickey's Halloween Party, the girls were ready to visit California Adventure.

The girls loved riding on the carousel first thing in the morning.

Then, it was off to breakfast with the princesses.  Both girls were excited to meet Ariel.

They also enjoyed meeting the other princesses during the breakfast.

While we were at the park during the day, the girls also got to meet Sophia the First (one of their favorites!).

Mickey's Halloween Party October 2013

For Mickey's Halloween Party, the girls dressed as Ariel and Rapunzel.

They had lots of fun looking for Mickey ghosts.

The family, well Jamison reallly, had fun riding Small World.

Mickey's party sure was exhausting!
