Nevada Day

We had a 3 day weekend this week in celebration of Nevada Day.

Nevada entered the union on October 31st, 1864 via the longest telegraph ever sent.
And in Elko you know what that means...
Parade!!
We have a parade for everything.

The girls weere so excited this year to be in the parade. Courtney rode with her dance class.

Mallory walked with Girl Scouts.

Kevin picked up some easy overtime.

Lily was introduced to running into the street for candy and loved it.
George was so busy I didn't even get a picture of him!

Last year when I packed up things to move to Elko we had no idea that we would still be living with my parents a year later. All of the coats of varying sizes that we did not need ended up deep in storage, including the two coats that would have fit Lily this year. Grrrr. Thankfully Jana still had this one from George that I had passed along to her two boys and she passed back to me. Problem solved. Technically it is a boys coat, but I think it is super cute!

Sad thing? Yea, George wore this at 6 months old. Boy was a monster.

Happy Halloween!

This year Mallory was Nancy Drew, Courtney was Princess Wildflower, George was a police detective, and Lily wore the traditional kitty costume.

We attended the trunk or treat put on my the 3 youth groups in our building, carved pumpkins and had dinner/trick or treating/scary movie at a friends house.

We have all had too much candy, but cannot wait to do it again!

Tennis

Tennis is George's new obsession. Kevin and I took him over to the park one afternoon while the girls were in school.

Car washing

Summertime the kids will look for any excuse to play in the water. Aunt Izzy was washing her car one day and they jumped right in, then moved on to Dad's truck.
