Pumpkin Patch

Cutie pies at the pumpkin patch.

This pumpkin is heavy!

I love Livy's furrowed eyebrows as she tries to lift this pumpkin.

This one is more Charlotte size.

Charlotte had a blast scooping out guts.

Don't worry; it's a safety knife!

Spooky green eyes Finn.

Halloween isn't complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch (or dressed up gravel lot in our case). The girls had so much fun picking out the perfect pumpkin. Olivia just wanted to sit on all of them. Charlotte spent a good 20 minutes searching before she found "the one'". She insisted it have a "spooookey" face. It turned out cute.

Zumbathon

My friend and fitness mentor, Karen. She turns 50 in February and can still move it just as good as I can-amazing!
We had over 100 women come, and a few guys too.

Here I am on stage.

We had 9 instructors teaching ranging from young to old.

Last weekend I participated in a Zumbathon to raise money for Breast Cancer research.

It was fun to get to teach with other instructors and see their unique styles. It was awesome to see so many people come together for a good cause and for fitness. The next day there was a terrible picture of me in the paper. I was pulling a funny face. Oh well, the rest of me looked pretty good. Zumba has really helped me grow as an instructor. I feel like it has also helped me except my body just the way it is; because when you are having so much fun you don't really care what is jiggling!

Pictures for Mom

Olivia playing peek-a-boo through Charlotte's potty seat-gross I know.

Charlotte and her pal Draven at their pre-school field trip to the fire station.

Charlotte riding the horse at the park. She named him Yoko.

A storm in the bathtub.

I wanted you to see how big Finn is. He was being very uncooperative.

Olivia saying "cheese"

Big smiles.

My Mom recently joined the modern world and got the Internet at home. She's been telling me how much she enjoys looking at our Blogs. I told her I would post more often. So I posted a few pictures from the weekend. Hopefully this won't make you feel so far away.
