Pumpkin Patch

On Friday the kids and I went to the pumpkin patch with our friends. It has been a yearly tradition that we go every year to the pumpkin patch with each other, it is my family the Shevitz and then the Conlins but unfortunately Colleen wasn't here this year to go with us. We missed you Colleen. Well usually we make it a whole family thing with the dads but our schedules have been so busy that we had to go without the dad this years and just us moms take the kids. We had a great time picking out pumpkins and lucky for us the weather stayed nice we could go. So here are a few pictures of us at the pumpkin patch. A couple pictures Zach and Madison took, they got a little camera happy and just started taking pictures with my camera. Enjoy the pictures.

Zach and his pumpkin, he needs a hair cut.

Zach running back.

Zach wanted to pull the wagon himself.

Madison didn't want her picture taken on this one.




Madison took this picture that is why you are looking up at us. We missed you in this one Colleen.

Madison wanted to use the camera and Zach wanted to take a picture of Madison and this is the picture that Zach got of Madison because she wanted the camera.
Carson didn't like getting his picture taken and so this is what he looks like when he doesn't like smiling.
This is what he looks like after the picture gets taken.
Our pumkins. Some of them are ours and then some of them are Jen's.

Preschool Scarecrow

Today I had the opportunity to go and help Zach's preschool class put there scarecrow together. Last year I didn't get a chance to do it because I don't know why actually. Anyway this year I got to and it was neat to see how to do. This year we got to bring the bird, everyone signs up to bring something to contribute to the scarecrow so these are all things that people brought from there house usually, anyway we brought that bird. The kids had such a good time and I can't wait to go with his class to the pumpkin patch in a couple of weeks. The pictures aren't in order because for some reason my computer doesn't like to do that and it is probably me but I will figure it out someday.

More Hawaii

More Hawaii

Well I still had some more Hawaii pictures to share. The pictures at the end with a group of people are all friends of ours and we all used to work together at the Bellingham grocery Outlet. I started working there when I was 16 and worked with all of those people. The owners of the Bellingham Grocery Outlet is the tall guys with the facial hair his wife is right in front of wearing white( I think she is in pants not a dress) anyway they own that one and the funny thing is that all of us met our spouses at the bellingham grocery outlet and married them so it is always fun to get together at the mettings and hang out we had such a great time working together there. I hope you like the pictures because I don't like the picture of me in there I don't look as nice as the others do. Enjoy! sorry I had to post the slide show again on another post I don't know how to do it all in one post.

Hawaii

So I finally got the slide show working for my pictures from Hawaii, thanks to Anna for helping me do a slide show. Anyway for those of you who didn't know Larry and I went to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and we took Madison and Zach, we left Carson at home with my mom. We had a great time. We really didn't do much we just kind of stayed that the hotel and went swimming most of the time. Larry got to golfing with friends which he enjoyed and then we actually went to Haunama Bay(I do not know how to spell it so sorry)and did some snorkeling which was fun. We went to the flea market and shpped around there and from there we went to the Dole Pineapple plantation and saw where we they grow the pinapple and then after our tour we had pinapple icecream which was so yummy. Then we went to the north shore beach and played in the waves for a bit and then went back to hotel and did more swimming. One night we went to the international market and we went to the pearl factory and Madison got to pick an oyster and then they opened it and you get to have that pearl. Madison picked a blue pearl. It really wasn't blue it is more like a sliver but apparently they call it a blue pearl. Madison was the only person who picked the blue pearl, it was very exciting for her, we got it set into a necklace for her and because she got the blue pearl she got to pick out 2 more oysters for free and she actually picked some really big ones. Anyway when you pick an oyster you have to say a chant before you open it. You have to tap it 3 times before you open it and then yell ALOHA. The kids loved it. So now Madison has her own pearl and she is so excited about it. All in all we had a great time and it was nice to just relax and not worry about anything. At the end of the trip Madison asked if we could move there, and of course I told her that we could not. Anyway I hope that you guys enjoy the pictures below. I had to separate the post because for some reason it wouldn't let me do it all in one. Enjoy
