Halloween

We made Rachel a mummy costume this year for Halloween.  She entered the town costume contest and won most original.  She won a gift certificate to Western Drug and China Garden.  When Parker was little, he was a mummy one year.  But, his costume consisted of toilet paper.  He left a trail behind at each house.  We have improved our mummy making skills somewhat.  Rachel was a pirate for her school party.  What a fun holiday.

Anniversary

Rachel the Soccer Star

Rachel finished her soccer season today. She scored a goal today to top off her season. It was a fun season, especially the two games her dad coached. (The only 2 games they won.) He is quite proud of his record! Doug is a really good soccer coach and had the kids playing positions so well.
