Somehow they both ended up in my bed...

Pumpkin Patch:

We met up with some friends at the pumpkin patch.

Blakely and Eden

I took my kids and 2 other kids with me into the maze.  It took way too long and I wasn't sure we were ever going to find our way out but eventually we found the exit!

We made sugar cookies but I forgot to take pictures until most were already eaten!

I took the 3 youngest and our neighbor downtown to trick or treat.  It was crazy busy but I think the girls had fun.  

Blakely's costume/inflater decided to stop working as soon as we got to the first person handing out candy...I thought maybe the batteries ran out?  Blakely tried on the costume a couple times for fun but not for very long so I just thought the inflator just sucked the juice out of the batteries and we would need to bring extras on Halloween night.  When we got home we changed the batteries but nothing happened.  I check the charge on the batteries and they were still good.  The inflater just went out...We brought it back to the store hoping to get a replacement but there were no inflatable dinosaurs anywhere.  Plus, since it was so late in the season we couldn't find anything Jurassic Park/World to replace it with.  So Blakely ended up stealing Dyer's costume for Halloween and we bought Dyer something completely different.  Dyer was the odd one out.

Of course we had to carve a pumpkin to complete our theme.

Instead of dressing up for Halloween, KK's class did a mad scientist day!

Trying out my costume/wig.

We had spooky eyeball tacos for Halloween.

Here's the Jurassic Park/World gang plus random Fortnite skeleton dude!

KK as Beta (Blue's baby-Blakely was supposed to be Blue), Eden as a Pterodactyl, Blair as Soyona Santos (Villain in last movie), Easton as Dr. Alan Grant, Nathan as Owen Grady, me as Claire Dearing, Blakely as T-Rex (was supposed to be Dyer's costume), and Dyer as a random Fortnite skeleton.

About 20-30 minutes after we left to go trick or treating Blakely's inflator went out with this costume...So annoying!  I will never buy an inflatable costume again!  They aren't cheap and apparently they don't last long either.  So disappointing!

Blair's first choir concert

 

The file for the beginning of this song was too big to put on here.

Football-Dyer

Dyer's team went undefeated in their league.  They did loose a game against a team from Boise but it was just a pick up game.  Most of Dyer's teammates have been playing with each other since 4th grade.  His coach scored tickets to a Boise State game and took the whole team up there.  They skipped the last two hours of school to make it up there in time to get a tour of the stadium.  Apparently one of Nathan's co-workers had a son on the team but we didn't figure it out until I think their last regular game.  Dyer's excited to play next year on his school's team.  They don't have tackle football for 6th graders.

Helped bring the guy down.

Cheer squad!

Almost got the other player.

Someone got really dirty during Dyer's game.  This was just at halftime so you can imagine how dirty she got by the end of the game.

Helped pull him down.

League Champions!

Dyer got a championship ring from his coach.

Team award ceremony

The league put on a dinner for the league champions.  They got another championship ring!

Those rings are heavy!

Blakely turns 9!

 

I decided to do a llama theme for Blakely

Gpa and Gma Uehling came to one of Dyer's games so we celebrated a little early with them.  

Blakely helped me decorate her cake for her birthday.

Lots of money!

Blakely may or may not have gotten hit by the bat when she was diving in to get candy before she should have.  Luckily she didn't get hit very hard.
