Halloween

Copper celebrated Halloween with two school parties; one for preschool and one for her speech class.  Halloween night we went down to Main Street, where all the businesses let the kids trick or treat.  We heard LOTS of comments about Thing 1 and Thing 2 and how cute our Cat in the Hat was.  They had fun and, surprisingly, the babies left their hats on and didn't cry once.  Well, okay, only when they saw my mom.  They like her better than they like me, hands down.





We also celebrated by:



Painting Pumpkins



Visiting Witchfest at Gardner Village


Making pumpkin shaped pizzas


Making Halloween decorations and crafts



Carving pumpkins: Copper thought pumpkin guts was pretty disgusting and only tried scooping it out ounce. 


Micah was already asleep while we carved, and this was how close Kota was to dreamland. ...

Picking pumpkins from Jenny's pumpkin patch

Needless to say, we've had a fun filled Halloween month.  Next time I won't introduce Halloween in September... it makes for a long four to five weeks of "Halloween yet?  Almost?"

Copper LOVED trick or treating and was very polite about it.  She also loved answering the door.  The best part of the night may have been when Dakota watched Copper fill others' bags with candy so she filled someone's with diaper wipes.  Clean ones, at least.

Happy Halloween!!

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...

 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
