Halloween

 We had a fun Halloween. The boys were counting the days until Trick-or-treating! Miki and Melissa came to help out.

Guadalupe Halloween Parade

Guadalupe does a little parade at the school so the kids can show off their costumes to one another.  Tyler was Cole was Ironman and Tyler was spiderman this year.

Tivo Family Halloween Party

Each year Tivo invites the families of the employees to come to Tivo for yummy treats, etc.  This year they even had their own little pumpkin patch and the kids got to bring a pumpkin home.

Carving Jack-o-lanterns

The boys helped out with carving jack-o-lanterns.  They picked out stencils for Geoff and myself to cut out.

Johnson Farm Field Trip

Tyler's first first grade field trip was to Johnson Farm in Boulder Creek.

 Farmer Rob was super funny while also educational.  He's showing the kids a woodpecker's nest.

 It was extremely warm, so the kids used the giant sunflower leaves for shade!



St. Mary's Faire

Each year the boys love going to the St. Mary's Faire!

They both have their hands up!  They are getting very adventurous!

 This bungee thing was one of their favorites of the day!

 They even went on stage to learn how to lasso!

Game Ball!

Tyler definitely had an up and down season with soccer this year.  He started out overwhelmed by the pressure of the game.  He always wanted to win and wanted to score goals and got very upset if he didn't.  He then decided it was better to always pass the ball to avoid the stress of having the ball, but was not enjoying it still.  Then, while Geoff and I were away on vacation, Tyler had the game of his life!  Something switched in his brain and he was intense, but not overwhelmed.  He scored a couple goals and assisted with some goals as well.  At the end of the game, he got the "game ball" which they award to one player at the end of the game.  The look on his face says it all.  Thank you, to auntie Miki for getting the shot since we weren't able to see the game!

Salinas Airshow

We had such a great time last year, we decided to go to the Salinas Airshow again.  This year they had some Monster Trucks.  The boys were very impressed!
