HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Little Paris

Since Halloween is on a Sunday we did our Church "trunk or treat" Saturday. We had a great time and our kids enjoyed all the candy they collected!! I love that my kids are such great sports about dressing up!! They actually enjoy it and never fuss about their costumes!! I love Halloween, I don't love Halloween and the rain and I thought for sure this year I would be doing Halloween in the rain since it poured all day!! But, we lucked out it was a great mild evening!!

AMHS Homecoming 2010

Homecoming Game
Homecoming this year for Skyler and his date Megan was a little different. They wanted to go to homecoming yet they didn't want to go to the dance. The dances have gotten so uncomfortable for the kids who are trying to maintain some sort of standards. The dancing is so icky!!! Soooo, we started the night off with pictures out at Lake Tapps on a friends dock it was a beautiful evening
! Cousins

Then we had some friends set up dinner on top of the roof of an apartment in downtown Seattle

they had a beautiful view of the city
Our friends did an amazing job making it look spectacular

After dinner they danced two dances Then they headed to the church where we had a bouncy house obstacle course and boxing ring set up. There was a candy "bar" and kettle corn to pacify their sweet tooth! Once they were all worn out they headed back to our house for some hot tubing and mud pie!
We adults had a blast :) We followed them around like paparazzi!!

We had such a blast this summer!! I am always sad when school starts back up and I have to actually stick to a schedule. As much as I love having a schedule I don't like being bound by them. WOW, I have commitment issues.

We spent most of our time at the most beautiful place on earth... that's right Moses Lake baby. We were there almost every weekend and then spent 10 days there with a trip to Silverwood thrown in the mix.

It's never hot enough for Paul anywhere we go but Arizona but this summer on our side of the mountains we got really got ripped off with the amount of sun we had!! He has been ankle biting me to go to Arizona for over a month now!

Shout Out!!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who keeps supporting us and the Paris White Foundation! How blessed we feel that we are surrounded by people who continues to donate, listen, and love us!!

I often wonder if I will ever stop doing the balloon release.....
For me and my family probably not!

We really do appreciate all you all do openly and silently!!

So much Love!!

Happy Birthday Coop

My Little Guy Coop is 9

He is so funny. He can't really decide what he wants to do. He wanted to first ride dirt bikes in Moses Lake, then he wanted to take his cousins golfing, then he wanted to have a water party here at the house, then he wanted to go to Moses Lake and go to dinner with our friends who share a birthday with him. SOOO, We ended up having a family water party, he went golfing with daddy and then we went to Moses Lake where he rode Jet Skies and jumped off the dock we finished up the night with ice cream at dairy queen. All the kid wants is to do extreme sports, he wants a dirt bike (motorcycle) really bad. I wont do it, a long board is as extreme as I will go :) I love coop and his love for activity. He has informed us he want to be a landscaper or drive tractor for the cemetery? He is such a hard worker who loves to play hard!! I can't believe 9 years ago I wasn't sure if I was going to bring Coop home from the midwives. He's been live'n on the edge ever since!!

WE DID IT!!

Lexis is officially older than Paris was.

This is a bitter sweet moment. How grateful I am I have no more "make it too dates" yet how sad I am that most of my tangible items (her clothes) are no longer going to fit Lexis as she continues to grow!

This is one crazy emotional roller coaster ride!! WOW!
