This year the band earned sixth place in state! The over all thought was that they deserved third...there was obvious point saving...the bands place in near exact opposite order that they performed...so if you were last to compete you placed first, etc. Over all they had a great season.
Full Retreat: Bellingham is the band in black, red and white right in front
All of the bands line up on the field for awards
Here's video (not great quality since I used my digital camera) of their show: Santa
We put Aaron into soccer this season...he has had a blast. Unfortunately, our coaches don't know a lot about soccer and have taught the kids how to play tag. Aaron's first game was a riot. I will try and get video up of his next game, this Saturday.
Aaron has a really good leg on him, he can boot the ball
Every now and again the parents get to play too.
The boys enjoyed watching Daddy's band
Du...Du...Da...Du!!...Steve is here!

This year we were a family of dinosaurs
Aaron loved his costume...he wore it on and off for two weeks before Halloween
Sweet Dino Ryan

Trunk or treat...each year our church has put on trunk or treat, which is where people decorate the inside of their trunks in our church parking lot and hand out candy. It is quite a hit, about 3,500 kids came through this year!
This year I made Matt and I's costume...and bought the kids...here we are in line for the next car
Kaylee joined us for some trunk or treat fun. Kaylee watches our boys while I work mornings.
Inside the church there were games for the kids to play and inflatable toys for the kids to play on.
One more game Daddy
Ryan took a ride on Daddy Dino's shoulders
This is my favorite pictures of the boys in the pumpkin patch
Aaron poses with pumpkins...he was pretty funny he tried to pick-up pumpkins that were half his size

Isn't this picture cute, too?!
The Boys
Mama and the Boys
Look how tall Aaron is...!
We rode the choo choo...Aaron was so excited!
We also tried out the corn maze this year...Aaron had a blast running after Daddy...although, you can't tell in this picture
Ryan liked the corn maze too...I found his hands full of leaves from the corn when we came out of the maze.
Lunch at Dicks...Derek had a great idea of putting the straws together...Aaron thought it was a good idea too...he actually managed to drink his soda through the extra long straw
He also thought it made a good sword
We finally made it to the Pacific Science Center, which was fun for the whole family
Ryan being chauffered by Grandpa Jim
Aaron loves tractors but doesn't like loud noises. Daddy helped him cover his ears while they poured the metal marbles out of the tractor.
Aaron came back to this a lot...he loves water!
Even Ryan got to play
Aaron looking at the touch tank
Aunt Mel showed Ryan around...
...and he fell asleep
Aaron was so excited about dessert with Grandpa that he barely ate dinner.
