She did it!!!

Abby can do her back handspring!!!! She still thinks she needs the 4 in mat underneath her, but with a little more practice and confidence, she has it! We went to lunch bunch today for her to practice some more, she is so excited!

Now she has 4 practices left before her next meet, so she should be doing the floor, bars and vault. Only that pesky dismount from the beam and she will be able to do all 4 events!

Apples and Pumpkins

Today I made apple sauce from all the apples we picked yesterday at mom and dads. It is really yummy. No sugar or anything added, just basic apples. I guess you might call it organic ;)

The kids also got to carve their pumpkins tonight. We had a lot of fun, although we did most of the work and they mostly watched. Abby did help with hers, and Reagan picked out his design that he wanted. Eli played with the toy robot (which totally fell apart and is now probably not repairable). But they had a good time, and that is what really matters.

Grandparents House and Pumpkin Party

Today we went to my parents house. Well, really last night, but we got there at bedtime, so they woke up there this morning and played all day. Abby did some school work with Grandma. Then we all went out and picked apples from the trees and the kids messed around with the horses. They even got to ride bareback for a little bit, until the horses got tired of them.

Late afternoon we went in to see Grandma Great and Aunt Nancy in their costumes. Abby was a princess, Reagan was a cowboy, and Eli was Tigger. Then we went to the Pumpkin Party at Grandview. The kids had so much fun, there were tons of games and we had walking tacos (Reagan didn't like his.)

Then we went over to the hospital to see Grandma Stroud, but since she was still in the ER being admitted, only I got to see her.

It was a very busy and fun day!
