September 2nd to November 12th 2019

On November 9th Ben received the award for his Eagle Scout. He seemed to be very happy. He worked hard for this achievement. 

Emily performed at her school singing with her grade for a veterans day assembly. 

Emily is helping her dad with geocaching

We had a pretty laidback Halloween. Ben went around the neighborhood with his friend. We took the younger four to downtown Kennewick to trick or treat then went around a different neighborhood this year. About 630 Isaac and Allison were finished so Eric took Andrew Emily and Joseph. But Emily and Joseph met up with a friend and went around the neighborhood so Andrew went to a couple of houses on his own and was very excited.  Ben dressed as "Identity Theft", Joe was "WaLugi" Emily was Jasmine from the live version Alladin. Isaac created his own character from "Terraria." Andrew was "Kai lo Ren" from star wars and Allison was a "dinosaur"

Eric's sister visited us for a couple of days. Here he is taking us driving in a car from the 1930s that one of his friends, friends are trusting him to drive. Pretty awesome.

The kids are enjoying the scarves from Grandma Jill 

Ben and Joe School Band Performance

I caught a picture of Ben in the act tormenting his brother while he was warming up before the performance. 

Our friends took Emily and Isaac to the school trunk or treat since I had to be the band performance and Eric had his college class. 

Our family participated in a City of Richland employee 5k.  I think we had fun. Ben, Joe, Isaac, and Eric ran the entire time.

Warming up before the run 

Ally, Andy and Joe are excited to get birthday gifts from  Grandpa Pat and Grandma Penny

Date with hubby in an older car. So cool....

Eric took our family pictures. I love how they turned out

Fun with the Dabb kids, almost like cousins

Date with Eric Geocaching

Allison is a big girl at Kohls and then sitting on her brother during checkout. This is why we don't leave the house.

Fun painting and carving pumpkins.

Another date with my hubby in one of the classic cars.

Family fun at the country mercantile pumpkin patch and corn maze

Pictures of the kids at a park 

General conference fun

Scout awards ceremony for  Ben and Joe

                              Eric received an award for shooting during boy scout camp

Mr. Williams sent some fun activities for the twins to learn their letters

                                 Isaac is proud of the badger bucks he earned at school 

Ben has his spacing appliance and bracket hinges (not sure what they are called) in his checks to widen his jaw and move it forward. 

Eric and I had to pick a car up at a shop. When we arrived home we saw the kids sitting quietly in the dark (much darker than the pic) Eric had encouraged everyone to sit quietly and they had. I thought it was too funny I had to take a pic.

Ally fell asleep reading

The twins did well why I had my hair colored

Andrew is so cute. Anytime he is coloring or drawing his tongue comes out. 

Family fun playing basketball

Emily and Isaac had fun at the school "Fun Run"

A new Little Caesars opened up closer to our family.   Ben was 1st in line. Joey got extra pizza because they were impressed LittleCaesars in the only pizza he eats. Andrew was dancing and they thought he was cute so they gave him free crazy bread. The other kids earned prizes too. They were so happy.

Andrew took a very long time to color this picture.I was impressed that my 5 year old colored this picture.

The girls were happy to fall asleep in our bed

We had fun with our kids and the Dabb family at Atomic Frontier days in Richland.  

Dad was in the parade

Joseph tried a Lacrosse Camp for a couple of hours

Visit to the dentist

The boys were showing me classrooms, lockers, and meeting with teachers at their open house.

I had a friend help me decorate my house. Loving the new look 

Joseph had a good birthday. He had a surprise panic room party with friends and enjoyed a day with family. 

Instead of the cake he wanted pie. But he asked me to make two cakes that looked like Pie and had the symbol Pi on top for the kids. 

Isaac and Emily were helping to paint letters at one of the school nights. 

School was delayed by almost a week because the teachers were on Strike. The twins didn't go into Kindergarten this year, next year. Isaac is 2nd, Emily is 4th (she made mojo marimba team I need to take a pic) Joe is 6th and Ben is 8th.
