Gymnastics and Dance

We signed Maddie up for gymnastics and dance.  She goes once a week for each of them while the boys are in school.  She absolutely LOVES both!  She was really excited to be able to take "big girl" classes without mommy!   Her dance class is mostly ballet with a little bit of tap dance at the end.  Here are some pictures of her ready for classes in her outfits. Its really hard to get pictures during class because of how fast they move and for dance class the parents wait outside of the room.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Patch

We had a beautiful October day at the Pumpkin Patch.  The kids had lots of fun as always.  The boys rode the pony's this year but Madelynn was a little scared.  Tanner ended up picking the biggest pumpkin.  It was a great family day!

Kindergarten and First Grade!

The boys are both in Elementary school full time now.  They both had excellent first days and love their new classes and teachers.  Tanner has Wyatt's old kindergarten teacher so we were very excited about that.  They love school so far and can't wait to go everyday! Maddie still tells everyone that she goes to "mommy school"!

Solar Eclipse

We watched the solar eclipse in the empty lot of or neighborhood with some neighbors.  I was nervous the kids would try to look at the sun without their glasses; so we made the paper plate mask with their glasses to keep them on.  I think the boys thought it was going to be more exciting then it was but we were glad to have the opportunity to experience it.

Annual Immel Camping trip

We went glamping again at the KOA campground near Astoria, Oregon.  The kids loved all the activities they offer there when we went last year.  So we decided to go there again for our annual camping trip.  It was a fun and relaxing time. Here are a few of the many pictures I took. :)  Oh and Tanner was so excited he got the top bunk this time!
