Adyson ended her soccer season. No goals but definitely an improvement!

We went to a new pumpkin patch this year. It was a small one run by three little girl (with the help of their parents). It was really cute. They had a pumpkin cannon! It was really cool! I think it was in Royal City. I don't remember right now.

And of course we had the Rodeback-Bruce-King pumpkin carving party! The theme was masquerade!

We also made cookies with grandma!

 And Mommy had way too many Halloween outfits for us!

Someone turned three months old on the 29th! Taryn is about 24in, almost 11 lbs, sleeps through the night (almost, some nights its a one time feeding), starting to roll over and is just stinkin cute!

Halloween was a busy day. Adyson had an assembly at school and got an award for academic achievement! (student of the month) We are so proud. It was an interesting time, because everyone was in a costume!

 Instead of having them dress up in masquerade again I let them pick out of things we had around the house. Harper went as minnie mouse. Taryn was a carebear (we call her tare bear so it was perfect!) and Adyson was a peacock thanks do the clearance cart at walmart! the wings were 2 bucks!

 Spencer had to work so I just took them down town for trick or treating at the shops and to the Nelson road church trunk or treat. They had a blast!

Taryn's Blessing Day

It finally happened! We kept having to change the date. Things would come up, people were out of town, but it finally happened! And we were just put in to a brand new ward too! Taryn was the very first baby blessing in the Moses Lake 11th ward. Spencer gave a wonderful blessing and the dress my mom made was beautiful. The blanket she is laying on and blessed in was made by Spencer's grandma. It was a great day.

So I can remember.... Men in the circle: Spencer, my dad, Spencer's dad, Tristan, Josh, Jeremy Quilter, Mike Radar, Bishop Palmer, 

After we had everyone come over for Haystacks and way good dessert Laska made. YUM!

First day of Kindergarten and dance, Leavenworth and Dance pictures

Sept 2nd Adyson started her first day of Kindergarten! I can't believe she is old enough! She was so excited! She said she had a great day! I love this girl :)

Sept 6th my sister had a birthday and she invited the whole family to go up to Leavenworth. We only went for the one day and had a lot of fun.

In the morning everyone else went to the Rocky Reach Dam. Afterwards, we met up with them In Cashmere at a Cider mill and did a cider tasting. Interesting flavors. Next we went to applets and cottlets. 

We then headed to Leavenworth and ate at the Munchen Haus and ate some good brauts and hot dogs. We then headed to the Nutcracker museum. My sister loves nutcrakers.

( for those who doent know Leavenworth is a German themed town about an hour and a half away from Moses Lake. Its a cute place. even McDonalds is built to look like an old German house)

 ^ yep that is a Missionary, Brigham Young, and Joseph Smith! Awesome!

 After we went and got some ice cream and went around the shops. Perfect bday for her.... food and nuctcrackers!

So Adyson was supposed to get dance pictures done by her teacher, but she was so busy that it never happened so I decided to take them. I think they turned out great!

Adyson needed a hair cut really bad so right after pictures we went and chopped it off!

Lately I feel like Harper has been MIA on the blog but not this time! She started dance for the very first time! She loves it!!!

Adyson King. 2014 Grade: Kindergarten!

Seattle trip

Over Labor day weekend we went to Seattle for Spencer to take part in the 5k Kickoff Run. He ran around Seattle and ended on the field in Century Link - the Seahawks stadium! My brother and bro in law and his sister ran in the race too, and since most of the family was going, my parents came too. So it was a family vacation! It was a great weekend trip.

The day before the run we all went to the woodland park zoo. That park is huge. It took almost all day! We got there at about 9:30 AM and didn't leave until about 3 PM! It was fun though! After, we went went back to the hotel to rest, and then headed to Ikea for dinner and shopping! I got new dishes!!!

Sept 1st! The race! I am so proud of Spencer for doing these runs!

 AFTER! He did it! 

After the race we went back to the hotel to get ready for the day (race was at7:30!). We checked out and Went to a mall with an old navy (love that place). The mall had a really awesome food court. It had food from around the world! I had Hawaiian and Spencer had vietnamese. It was good! After we headed to North Bend. I shopped with Taryn while Spencer, Adyson and Harper took naps. After that we headed home! It was a great weekend trip.
