More Fowler

Before we get in to the other Fowler visit pics I found, I wanted to show what Luci does when she hears the click of the heater come on. Heat Hog.
 Because Olivia is such a light sleeper and wakes up at the bat of an eyelash, I haven't taken many sleep pictures of her. But I couldn't resist this one. She wrote out a rotation list for all her bed friends. Each one gets a night to snuggle with her all night long. Aww...
 When Tara was here, we took our boys to the mall play place a few times during bad weather. The tent is their favorite. They also jump from the stump to the tent...just like spiderman.
 One mall visit with Uncle Will. While shopping for Logan some jeans, a snack break was required. What better place to eat??
 We took the kids bowling. 
 Is this not how you are supposed to sit?
 Big kids watched, little kids bowled.
 We all had a great time!
I watched Logan and Connor for a day while Tara and Will got to go out. We built this hospital jail thing. It also coupled as a car wash.
 We played games.
 Connor and Logan weren't into cards or board games so much, but they sure liked this angry birds game!
 Then we went to the park and I found Elias and Connor at the top of the slide eating their snack.
 Testing out all the headphones. Yep, they work.
 Whatever it is, it must be good!
 Super hero yard run. When Olivia rang our amazingly loud bell, the superheros would have to run back to the garage and get their mission.
 Elias really liked this.

Happy Thanksgiving

Us waiting on dad in hospital to get his heart stopped and restarted.  Things went well and his heart is beating normally now. Praise the Lord!
 She likes to show her missing teeth when she smiles.
 Good morning cartoons!
 Do these go with my outfit????
 Discussing rescue bots over a bowl of fruit while waiting on dinner.
 ...in preparation for 'the big cook'...
 The family photo for Thanksgiving while my beans were burning...
Another cooking lesson.... my green bean casserole.
 Tickle mania.
 ...I'm not sure....
 Dad had some kind of tweek in his shoulder or back. Tara was sure she could get it out with an ice cream scooper.
 Game time with J.
 Yes, there will be black eyes when 4 young boys get together for extended periods of time.
 Neighbor Chris and J going to town on the leaves.

Fowler Fun

My sister was here with her kids for about 6 weeks! Funtastical! Smores of course!
 Elias helping me try out my new mini-muffin pan. He has his own agenda of eating whatever is in the bowl each time he "helps" me bake something.
 Comparing tummies one night after dinner. Ever read the book Big Brother, Little Brother???
 Just cuz he can.
 She loves her aunt.
 And he loves her neck.
 Since both Tara and I were allowing our husbands to study, G&G got their fill of all of us on the weekends.
 Transformers. More than meets the eye.
 I'm so glad they like to read....quietly!
 We took them all to Lowes for a science kit craft. So then we had to do some experimenting with dancing raisins.
 We went through lots of food while they were here.
 Van rides became more fun too.
 Tara took a trip with her kids and G&G. I just liked the picture.
 We have leaves in our new yard. Big time!
 And these are ginko leaves. They ALL fall off their tree within a few hours. It's true. Elias and I watched for about 15min on the day they fell. I was amazed.
 Isaac is getting higher at climbing!
 And of course Justin needed this thing since we have so many leaves now!!! Yippy!
Weeee!
I am amazed at how well Isaac has picked up reading. Logan enjoyed listening.
On a hill in a parking lot...

Party Harty

...to catch up....Elias got to enjoy Isaac's and Olivia's harvest parties at school....yes Christmas ones too....but no pics yet.
 His class rotated to all K classrooms for fun activities in each. We liked this one...glow fest.
 Pass the pumpkin over, under, over, under...
 Came home for lunch and then back for Olivia's party!
 This is the only one I have from Olivia's room.  I had to lead a game for each rotation and the camera didn't get used.
 And Grandpa had a birthday!!
Dinner out.
We ate at Pancho's and this is what he got...
 Some look happy, some do not, but all love Grandpa very much!
 And the famous cake...we found out our dining room has amazing acoustics for singing with so many kids!
 Sweet.
 It was fun celebrating with you Grandpa! We love you!
