TooeleMommies Halloween Party!

Today was my mommies group Halloween party. Last year we had about 20 show up. This year.... nearly 100!! It was crazy but lots of fun!

Here's a slideshow of our pics.

Tristan's last soccer game

His season has been over for almost 2 wks but I've been too busy to update. This is how Tristan spent his entire last game...

And here I thought he was over it. *sigh* Not even that lofthouse cookie bribe would get him to play or not cry. Hopefully spring goes better!

Griffin had a good time though LOL

Pumpkin Walk

Every year I have a craft booth at the Pumpkin walk. The boys love it and there's lots of free things for them to do. Here's some pics from this year.

Soccer pics

Tristan only has a few games left (one being tonight). These pics are from last Saturday. They lost by 1 pt 4-5. It was very confusing as both teams were blue... and only a few shades different! So much for stressing not stealing the ball from your team mate LOL They did great at that but were hardly playing in the process.

Sharks, stingrays and Octopus' oh my!

Last Friday my mom had off of work and took us to the Aquarium for the day. The boys had a blast! We didn't get many pics cause there's no flash photography but here's a few I did get of the animals.

The boys loved the octopus and the sting rays. Tristan refused to touch the rays but Griffin touched them a few times with his knuckles.Here's some of the boys hamming it up after we saw all the animals.
