Phoenix Family Vacation

We traveled out to Peoria, AZ for my cousin Ali's weeding.  My parents rented a house for our family so we could all stay together.  Needless to say, everyone's favorite part was the pool :)

At the wedding - the reception was at the Peoria Sports complex (Padres spring training field).  So fun.

Harvest Hoedown

I helped out with an event called the Harvest Hoedown - where families go out to a ranch and are able to use the facilities for the day (biking, archery, animals, zip lining, etc).  Dave and the kids came out after soccer games to enjoy the fun!

Ready to go ziplining!

Ziplining! They both did it!!

He was scared sat down for a bit. I had to climb up and sit with him for a few minutes.  Thankfully peer pressure worked.  As soon as Sydney jumped and he saw she was ok (and loved it), he did it!

BMX biking... in a tutu :) 

Halloween

Gearing up for trick or treating for candy (sugar) by making cookies (more sugar!)

Cole came downstairs Halloween morning saying this was his costume - captain underpants.  He was SO cute and SO excited.... it was hard to say no. 

I was able to volunteer in Sydney's class for her Halloween celebration

Playdoh creation

And... These were their final costumes... A bandit and Cinderella.  Mind you, they each chose new costumes (back in August) when Costso had them out.  Cole was going to be a ninja and Sydney was going to be Rapunzel.  2 months after getting their costumes,they decided they didn't want to wear them!!
