"Jesus Knows!"

I got the kiddos in the car and headed to Safeway this morning. We got there and park and I then realized I didn't have my wallet, and then remember that I had placed it on the roof of the car when getting the kiddos in. I get out, but unfortunately no wallet sitting on the roof. I turn around to drive home explaining to Ella why and then proceed to pray out loud that I will find the wallet. I am scanning the road and praying. I am telling Ella I am looking on the road for the wallet while I am driving (and praying) and she declares "Mom, Jesus knows where it is!" Yes he does and we need to pray he shows us where it is I say. Up 66th I go and down Prospect Way around the corner and there it is, in the middle of the road. Open but in tact. It appears to have been driven over but nothing was missing! Wow. After I get it and we head back to the store Ella says "Mom you should have just put the wallet in the car before we left" Thank you Ella for the words of advice!

Roller Skating!

The City had their annual employee skating party last night so we thought we would give it a try again this year. Ella was totally excited about it, but not so sure once she got the skates on. She was a bit hesitant but did manage to make it around the rink a few times with our help. I got to skate this year too since Roc is older. We even let him have a go at it. They only lasted for about an hour so we headed home after that, but the highlight was Ella won a hot-dog (and ate the whole thing) in one of the games! It was a thriller alright! The videos may be too dark but I thought I would try them anyway.

Ballet and Harvest Party

Ella went to her third ballet lesson this week and did great. She told me she did not want to go, but I made her anyway, knowing she really did want to go :) Well we got there and she started talking to her teacher and the other girls and did great. The teacher is so sweet and makes it fun for the girls. The teacher put the monitor on so I was able to see a bit of her dancing and she looked like she was catching on pretty well.

After ballet we headed up to the Hoefer's for Karis's fourth birthday party and the annual harvest party. We roasted marshmallows, decorated cookies, did crafts, had a pinata and a tractor ride for the kids. It was great fun and we all had a good time.

I have decided that rather than trying to post a few of my favorite pictures from stuff I am just posting them all to facebook. For those of you who have not joined the facebook world just click here and you can view them.

Halloween Recap

For Halloween Roc was a wild husky fan and Ella was a ladybug. I got them dressed up and we headed to Grandma Ruby's house, then my mom's and then to Kevin's work. They got lots of delicious candy. Then for dinner we went to my sister Hannah's house for the annual Halloween party. We ate some delicious home-made chili and cornbread and of course candy! Kevin took the kiddos out trick-or-treating for a while and then Ella helped hand out candy to the "Childrens" that came to the door. She was wound of course. It was fun that Roc was old enough this year to go trick-or-treating. They took along the cute felt bag I made for them.
