Date Night

Dan and I went to see the Twilight movie the Saturday it came out.  Very excited about it. 

October 27th

My friend Keri asked me back in June if I wanted to run a half marathon in October.  It seemed like a fantastic idea at the time.  I started to really train for it in August and towards the end of September I hurt my leg pretty bad.  The morning of the marathon was the first time I ran in 5 weeks.  I was prepared with biofreeze gel and lots of ibprofen.  I think the freezing temp helped too.  It really was so much fun.  Dan showed up with the kids 15 minutes before I crossed the finish line, made me happy.  I was pretty proud of all us ladies. :)

Right after the race, we raced off to San Antonio and went to Sea World with Dan's parents.  It was a fun long day.

Happy Halloween

 Our cute Captain America

 The Black Cat and Green Lantern Man

 We went trick our treating with the Megerle boys at the Round Rock Outlets a few hours before we took the kids around the neighborhood.  I love Rushell's shirt so I had to get a picture of it.

Happy 6th Birthday Avery

 Avery wanted to have her birthday party at Auntie Cakie's pool.  The kids had a lot of fun swimming and eating.  Here's Avery blowing out her pink barbie cupcake.  Thanks to all the fun friends that came to help celebrate!

 

 Alexis Montgomery, Lizza Mott, Brooke and Avery, Jaeden and Tyler Megerle

 Dominic, Katelynn Everts, Josie Aho, Alexis and Lizza

Avery's birthday fell on a Wednesday so we had a little family party first.  She wanted apple pie for her "cake".  Avery has been very big into Lalaloopsie's the past couple months.  I feel like she owns every thing ever made by them now. 

First Day of School

 Avery at her kindergarten desk.  She was so excited but so nervous, can you tell?? She has the sweetest teacher named Ms Peterson.  Its her first year teaching period.  She is great and enthusiastic and loves the kids.

 Jaeden is in 3rd grade this year.  She has Ms Thompson.  She was stopped in the hall and told that if she had Ms Thompson she was so lucky and was going to have the best year ever.  Jaeden loved that.

 Sisters holding hands... makes my heart happy :) 

I have these pictures from last to first, so start from the bottom and work your way up :)

Last Night in Utah

 me and Dan

 Dad, Mom and Ty

 Hazel, Dominic, Mandolyn, and Kaitie

Avery holding Hazel one last time.

We wanted to say goodbye to Tyler and Mandolyn before we headed back to Texas.  We met them at Red Robin for dinner and lots of talking.  Tyler always has funny stories to tell from work and Mandolyn is always so sweet and fun to talk to.  Hazel has the perfect consistency of squishiness.  All of our time in Utah was so fun and very memorable.  We left with a lot of happy memories.

Adam and Megan

On our way back to Midway from ID, we stopped in Salt Lake to see Megan and Adam.  They are having their first baby,  Elsie Claire, in February.  I can't wait to see her!
