Cassie's Birthday

I (Cassie) turned 11 on Oct.30th. We celebrated by opening presents and eating delicious crepes! We had a blast! Then we watched "Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin." We all love watching that movie! Before my birthday though, I also got my braces off. Now my teeth are smoother than ever! Take a peak at some of these pictures.

Trunk or Treat

Our ward had another very fun Trunk or Treat last week! Keeping up with our tradition of funny family themes the past few years, we decided to be In-n-Out workers. The event got moved inside, and so we decorated our room just like the real In-n-out. We had this home-made border, a fake menu, crossing palm trees, and all. We gave out gummy hamburgers. It was a fun night! Also, on the real Halloween night, Cassie was a black cat, Brynn was a pirate girl, and Ethan was "dead dopey." (Seven Dwarves from Snow White)

Karaoke!

Just last week, we discovered that Ethan has a hidden love for Karaoke! He randomly decided to start playing our gamecube game, "Karaoke Revolution." He quickly found his favorite song, "Call Me!" This week he has been playing it every free minute he has!!! We were able to catch this video of him singing along.

Lost Teeth

WOW!!! W e haven't blogged for SO long! Well, the reason for this, because blogger kept on telling us our email was invalid, so we couldn't log in! It is all fixed now, so we've got to update! About 3 weeks ago, Ethan lost his two front teeth! Yes, and now he can say "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" Oh yeah, and after Eth lost his first one, Cassie lost one of hers a second later!

Monkey Madness

Here is a short--less than 2 min.--we filmed with Cousin Whitney (Director), Dustin (Assistant Director & Whitney's Husband), Brynn (Cameragirl & editor), Cassie (as the sister learning magic), and Ethan (as the annoying brother). Enjoy!

Back to School

School has begun, and summer has sadly come to an end. Ethan is starting 2nd grade, Cassie is starting middle school, and Brynn is entering her 8th-grade year. We're back on track with homework, and we are ready for an exciting year! Here we are on the first day, (Brynn's eyes are closed, but this is the only pic we had) and Ethan in his line.

a few more pics from the end of summer vacations...(part 2)

Here are a few more pictures from Lakes San Vicente (Redd and Clarke kids) and Big Bear (Brynn and Brooke--Cassie is the one in the water getting ready to wakeboard)...

End of Summer (part 1)

We haven't blogged in so long! As for the end of our summer, we went to Lake San Vicente with our friends the Redds. Then we spent Labor Day weekend up at Big Bear Lake, where we went boating and hung out with our friends the Earwoods. Here we are wakeboarding (at San Vicente), on the boat, in the tube, and down the Alpine Slides (at Big Bear Lake). It was a blast!
