We {heart} Tooshies!

This week over at I {heart} Faces it's "We {heart} Tooshies" Week. So every entry has to have a (fully clothed) Tooshie in it . This was taken on our trip to Big White this past year. Billy carried Noah up the hill behind our condo several times so that Noah could practice skiing. I chose this picture because it shows what a good Daddy Billy is.

If you want check out some of the other Tooshies go visit the website. And if you have a Tooshie that you love go ahead and enter, it's just for fun!

Halloween

We started the week off by going to the pumpkin patch. It was fun to go through the corn mazes and to pick our pumpkins.

Noah had fun pulling Brooklyn around on the wagon.

Brooklyn dressed up as a punk rock fairy. I made the tutu and wings at my family's girls' weekend. I was afraid she wouldn't want to dress up but when it came time, she was a very willing participant and even broke into model mode when I started taking pictures it was really cute.

Niko was a vampire. Scary!!!!

Poor Lucy was sick so she didn't really get to do halloween. At the last minute she threw this robe over her pjs and called herself a witch in pajamas. She was going to be Hannah Montana.

Noah was a flame. I think he turned out pretty cool and he loved running around and "burning" people.

Girls' Weekend

Last weekend my mom, grandma, sisters and I got together for our annual Girls' Weekend. We had so much fun (as always). This year we rented a house in North Bend. We went to "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in Seattle, made tutus, played games, ate, and just had a grand ol' time. This first picture is a pretty good summary of the weekend as I am laughing my guts out, but I threw in a few more just for fun.

Oh, yeah, we made chocolates too, which somehow turned into a chocolate fight between Kristi and Jessica. I think the official story is that Jessica started it but Kristi definitely finished it. Jessica is married to my brother Nathan and apparently hadn't picked up on the fact that we are a slightly competitive family. I think she understands now. Love ya Jessica!

Every year we play a game where we have to open a present while wearing oven mitts. This is my 91 year old Grandma goin after it! She ROCKS!!! After this she showed us her "abnormally" large middle finger.

Here we are! The Wells Girls!

(those are all the tutus we made hanging in the background)

. . .and the Silly pose!

. . .and one with the tutus on our heads. Check out my Grandma's face. Ha Ha!!!

Basketball

Nicholas has been playing basketball for school. He is really enjoying it and learning a lot. He is adjusting really well to middle school and is doing very good in all his classes. I still can't believe that I have a son in middle school!!!

Soccer 2009

The kids have been having a lot of fun with soccer this year. Probably because they get to have DADDY as their coach! Billy has been coaching both Lucy's and Noah's teams this year (with a little help from me when the games conflict) I think everyone has had fun.

Billy coaching Lucy's team, the Pink Bears.

This was Noah's first soccer season. He says he wants to play for the Sounders when he grows up. We'll see!

Lucy has really improved this year. It has been fun to watch her grow as an athlete. She has always been good at getting the mental aspect of the game but now she is starting to improve physically too.

And while Billy and I are watching/coaching soccer, Brooklyn finds dirt to play in.
