Halloween Has Begun

So we got a night out without the kids and went to Universal Halloween Horror Nights with the Crowders', Coopers', and Rodriguezs'. The haunted houses were creepy and I especially hated the dead carnie's. Dead clowns are spooky. Loved the War of the Worlds set we got to walk through.

FUN FUN NIGHT!

And Sydney, no you can not go next year... or the year after... or for several years after that, even though you are dying to go. Nick says you have to be at least 20. He is hoping he is not as scared next year. I got a little jumpy towards the end of the night, too, Nick.

My Weekends Consist Of...

My weekends consist of winter ball, soccer and then some more soccer. Love it!

First Eclipse Tournament

You did great Sydney!

Meet The Newest Member Of The Hewitt Family

This is Keiki Whiskers Hewitt. He adopted us about a week ago and we have officially adopted him back. (Jodi, we will need some tips on how to drive across country with a cat.) Whisky is a beautiful Chocolate Point Siamese that is not afraid of anything, including Bailey, and follows us around like a puppy. He sleeps with his tongue out, hardly meows (we heard his voice once) and loves the kids. We are very lucky to have been found by him.

I Can't Believe He Is Four!

Brady had a great fourth birthday. Although he wondered where Tanner was all day, he had a great time bowling. He has officially learned how to swim without his vest and showed off all day. A few days later, he continued to impress by learning how to ride his bike without training wheels. So far four has been filled with new adventures. I love you Brady!!!!

Couer D'Alene 2009

We are having a great time in Idaho. This year we have shared our fun so far with Stacey, Barb and Kathy. (My Mom is coming in a couple days.) We have found a new place to dock the boat and have a drink and a bite. Our new favorite hot spot...Eddie's. They have great food, outstanding service, fun ambiance, and spectacular views. The kids can play on the sandy beach while we eat, so they love it too. We have done a lot of relaxing, tubing, grilling, kayaking, fishing and boating... and, two more weeks of fun to go!

It's Over

Our All Star season is over. The Bombers ended the season with a bang, going to the Championship game in our last tournament. They won two second place trophies this season and Sydney received player of the game four times. It was a blast and this summer will be remembered always because of the friendships we made and fun we had. The girls worked so hard and improved so much by season end. I am so proud of you Sydney, our dirt diva, who picked up a strange habit of tasting the dirt at each field we played. I hear the best dirt is in Simi.

Things to remember... our water balloon fight, team picnic, the pool in Escondido, 4th of July, the whiffle ball tourney, sleepovers, Craig's birthday party, and our girls got the coaches with whip cream after the last game. What fun!!!! I want to thank our awesome coaches (Mike, Sam, Craig, Todd, and Kelly) and a special thank you to our manager, Mike, and team mom, Tristin. The season was great, because of you guys.
