The Berkeys

The past couple of weeks have been busy but fun. The kids had a fun Halloween and got way too much candy. They still have a lot left and I have a hard time keeping myself away from it. By the time it is all gone it may have been me that ate most of the chocolate candy out of their buckets! :-)

Evan also turned 9 last week! I cannot believe that I have a 9 year old! We went to the Family Fun Center for his birthday and he got to take a coupe of friends with him. Thank you Groupon for making it so we can afford to take our family to go do fun activities.

Olivia also got to go to a small dance camp put on by the high school dance team. She then got to dance at half time at a football game. Olivia had fun and did great at the dance.

Avery is starting to climb like crazy. She climbs up onto everything! Today she climbed up onto a chair and then onto the kitchen table. I am going to need to watch her even more now and she is only 14 months!

We also have a little infirmary here at our house. Paden was sick and throwing up Friday evening and Saturday. Olivia started throwing up this morning and Avery joined her this evening. Evan is the only one who has not gotten sick and I am afraid he will be sick soon. He has been complaining that he does not feel well this evening.

Here are some pictures to enjoy. Mom and Dad I miss you guys like crazy but I know you are needed where you are. We love you!

Trying out Avery's costume to see if she would wear it.

Evan opening his gift from us.

Good morning!

I came out one morning to find Paden and Olivia lounging like this watching cartoons.

I finally got Avery's hair into pigtails. It lasted about an hour before she had them pulled out but I did get a picture of how cute it looked!

Evan wanted to go to Red Robin also for his birthday!

Bumper boats at Family Fun Center.

Evan and his good friend.

Olivia doing the rope challenge.

Evan showing his friend that you cannot fall because you are attached to a rope.

Avery had a lot of fun just going from one game to another.

Olivia and Paden on the Frog Hopper. I don't know the other girl is...

Avery loved Evan's birthday cake!

Paden took this picture of Avery and I.

I don't know why they are hanging out in the refrigerator.

I can't remember what I was going when this happened but Avery was very quiet and having a good time.

I had to go to Salem one day and Mike finished work early so he came with me. On the way home we has some extra time so we took Paden and Avery to the carousel. This was Avery's first time there. She liked it at first but that quickly turned into being terrified and wanted off the horse!

Olivia at her swimming lessons. She loves to be in the water.

WOW! It has been over 2 years since I last posted on my blog! My parents have recently left on an LDS mission and I want to keep up my blog now so they can see pictures of their grandchildren and what is going on at home. Our life has changed a lot in the past couple of years so I will need to make some changes to pictures and descriptions of our family but that will need to be another night.

Here are a few pictures of our last couple of weeks. Evan is playing football and Olivia is doing swimming lessons. We are getting ready for Halloween this week also. We are busy but it is great, most of the time...
