Happy 1st Halloween Andrew!

Isn't he the cutest pumpkin!

Anyssa's 4th grade class made hot air balloons

The 4th graders at Salem Woods got into groups and made Hot Air Balloons. Here are some pictures from the big launch. Anyssa's balloon went up a little and then turned sideways and dropped. Anyssa said that their must have been a small hole to make the balloon turn sideways. She had a blast!

Happy 8th Birthday Kees

Happy 8th Birthday Kees! Hope your day was great!

Love,
Tante Sonya & Tio Tony,

Anthony Lost his FIRST tooth :)

WOOHOO! Anthony lost his first tooth. He bit into a Carmel candy, and sure enough his tooth was almost out. A little help from Papa and poof his tooth was out. He is so excited! He's hoping for money from the tooth fairy. He said " I wish I lost two teeth so I could get more money from the tooth fairy". We'll see :)

Alayna's 7th Birthday

Alayna just couldn't stay up that late :)

Alayna just couldn't stay up that late. Even though we were right under the LARGE speakers that "I can feel them right to my heart" Alayna said. She fell sound asleep. We had a heck of a time waking her up. Those chairs must be quite comfy :)
