Oh my, it's been a over a month since I've updated about anything on here, geez!
Well, we've been busy, but that's how we like it. Here's a not so brief recap....
The boys did a 4 week parkour class through Groupon.
It wasn't "gymanastics" enough for them, but gave us something to do.
Cody has been signed up for a basketball league and Ty will be signed up for regular gymnastics in the new year as Christmas presents from the grandparents. Great for these busy boys!
We've upgraded to a Tahoe again. We'll be selling the Vanagon soon as it's just not doing what we need it to do anymore. We've loved it so far!
The boys and I took a field trip to the Folsom Zoo, just beating out the rain.
Visiting the monkeys...
We missed the all-white peacocks, but the others were beautiful.
All the cats were out and playing!
Ahh, bears....
The deer are fun to see because they will walk right up to the fence.
The boys had their last soccer games of the regular season.
Here's Ty playing...
Making some saves when he played goalie.
End of the season awards...
Cody's team played in a tournament the first weekend of December. The boys did well and it was great to play some teams we hadn't seen before.
On black Friday we took advantage of the free day at Fairytale Town.
We spent most of our time on the crooked mile, making laps!
Enjoying the beauties of fall...
The rabbits are as cute as every, snuggling...
Then it was time to go cut a tree!
First stopping at Rainbow Orchards for some apple donuts.
We went to the other Robert's Tree Farm this year which ended up being more foresty and less tree farmy.
Searching and searching...
Finally found one on our way back out.
The tree was around 12 feet tall and we had to take about 3 off to get it in the house. Oops!
Once we had a tree, it opened the door to decorate the house...
Cool new Santa plate for cookies!
It was finally December and the boys were able to start opening their advent calendars.
The box advent is filled with mini ornaments for the boys' tree that's in the toy room.
Ice cream and hair cuts!
Tyler has been asking for a cut for a while, so he's happy with his shorter, more boyish do.
To further our Christmas spirit we headed to downtown Sacramento for the Santa parade.
Typical, ear-plugging start...
Mounted police...
Unicycle group...
llama's...
Bands...
We had to leave before the end because of a Birthday party, but it was fun!
We are finding our way through our homeschooling, finally feeling pretty comfortable with what we are doing. I still have panics that we aren't doing enough, but the boys enjoy the subjects and are learning a ton. We have joined up with a couple of homeschooling groups to get out of the house. One is just a meet and play type group in Folsom, it's been nice to connect. The other is through a friend and they do more service and field trips, the people we have met have been more our style and it's closer to home. We have some catch-up work to do over our holiday break because we started late in the year, but that will keep us on schedule and we can do as little or as much as we want!
Christmas is knocking on our door and my fingers are crossed that I'm able to get everything ready and the shopping done in time. So on that note, I had better get back to wrapping!
