Halloween week filled with family FUN

During the week of Halloween we had the privilege of having my sister and her family here to visit us. The first night they got to come with us and celebrate with Scarlett's team at their end of the year soccer party. 

The Ice Queens with their coach Daniel

Scarlett loved soccer and is excited to keep playing.

We enjoyed lunch at Costco one day.

Stockton being nasty! Good thing he's so cute though!

Tuesday we went to trunk or treat at the church building. I was pacman and my sister was a monster that pacman eats. 

Stockton LOVED trunk or treat (look at that dirty face)

After the field trip we headed into the Bay Area and went and visited both our grandmas!

We love being able to spend time with our grandmas.

We got to watch Payton's soccer team play in two tournaments Saturday morning. 

Hanging around being lazy on our last night together!

We got some energy and decided to use the rest of our sparklers we had from the 4th of July. The kids loved this.

Then we did a little pumpkin bowling with our pumpkins!

Mckinley was not into the sparklers. They scared her. Tana kept her warm and happy!

The week was a blast. We ate a lot, played, drove a lot, chatted, and got little sleep. Those all put together make for an amazing visit with family.

Payton's birthday week!

Payton's birthday seems to always fall during his fall break at school. This year his birthday was on a Friday. On the Monday before the first day of his fall break from school he and I headed to the dentist. The dentist had told us that Payton must of had a high fever or something when he was an infant because his 4 ADULT molars and his bottom two front ADULT teeth that came in have weak enamel. This meant that those six teeth are pretty much falling apart and when he is old enough he will have to get crowns on them all. For now what they did was give him some sedation so his body would fully relax and he wouldn't feel a thing, but he would still be awake and they went in and sealed one molar and filled the other 3 molars. His two front teeth are ok for now, but they will keep an eye on them. They filled those 3 molars because they were bad and they are hoping this will hold those teeth together for a number of years. 

Once we got to the dentist they had him drink the sedation medication and then had us sit in the lobby for an hour for it to take full effect. 

The first 25 minutes was hilarious. Trying to keep him from rolling off the bench, laughing at the things he said, watching his eyes roll around, watching his head be floppy, and listening to the funny things he would say. 

Once he was done we came home and he was passed out for a good 3 hours like this on the couch. He did great though and doesn't remember very much. 

My children are addicted to electronic devices. 

During the birthday week we watch the Toutai kids while their parents both worked. The kids had fun playing together. 

Another day we had a birthday party for Payton and for Ryan since their birthdays are a day apart. Payton turned 7 and Ryan turned 9. 

All our kids! (Toutai and Drinkwater)

It's rough being 2 and 4.

The day finally came. Payton's birthday. 

The majority of his presents were Legos. He loves legos.

Grandma and Grandpa Cambra came for the weekend to celebrated Payton's birthday and to watch Payton and Scarlett play in their soccer games.  

After Scarlett's soccer game on Friday night we went out to dinner to celebrate Payton's birthday. 

The girls enjoyed his ice cream more than he did. 

Reading with Grandpa

Happy Birthday!

Throwing their sticky balls to the ceiling and waiting for them to fall. 

Wearing her new beautiful dress that Grandma Cambra got for her. 

These two girls snuggle quite often in their bed. 

Scarlett went out and enjoyed the rain for the short time that it lasted. 

Rooting on the Giants!

Mckinley likes to think these are stickers. We haven't corrected her yet.
