We have had such a busy 2 weeks since I last posted. I will start this post off with Axel's 1st Grade fall photo. Keith and I think he looks much more mature than just last year. He is more independent with all aspects of his life and our little boy is growing up into quite a good soul.
Two weeks ago we headed to Walnut Creek to meet Grandpa Brian and Grandma Susan along with the Jolleys for dinner. Grandpa brought us our annual lamb that we purchase from a local farm in Grass Valley where he lives. Here is a really cute picture of Axel and Braylin.
And Phoenix and Daddy in the picture too.
We tried to capture a family photo, but Daddy took the picture and not everyone was looking. It was worth a shot!
We had a really nice warm week so we were able to get out and enjoy the weather. Axel has really improved his skills in baseball along with his attitude and determination. I love the look of his face in the photo.
I wanted to show you a picture of Phoenix, who is our little fire ball, and always has a face of determination no matter what she is doing. It is great to see both kids having fun!
Last weekend we had our annual pre- Thanksgiving dinner. It was a nice evening of visiting and food with our close friends. We don't get to quite socialize like we use to as the number of kids continues to grow.
Luckily, I was able to come up with a few activities that helped settle the kids down. It was really fun seeing them all gathered and focused on their art projects.
Late, late Saturday night Grandma Sonia and Grandpa Bruce arrived. Here they are on Sunday during nap time reading with Axel.
After nap time was Axel's baseball party at Golf Land. It was Pheeny's first time playing mini golf. I think she did great as the game was quite long with all of the birthday parties that were there playing and celebrating.
Grandpa and Phoenix patiently waiting!
Axel and his team.

Coach Keith/ Daddy!
Phoenix trying her best do implement what Grandma taught her. After several holes she figured out kicking and throwing the ball were more effective :)
Monday through Wednesday Keith and I had to work. Phoenix went to daycare, but Axel had the privilege of hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa. They went shopping, went to the movies and played, played, played. On Tuesday, Axel went to a camp so Grandma and Grandpa could get some Christmas shopping in, but otherwise it was hours of playtime for everyone.
Here is a cute picture of Axel and Grandma during battleship.
And Phoenix and Grandma playing after I got home from work.
Grandpa and Phoenix....
and Axel and Grandpa building with his new mixels (sp?) they bought him.
On Thanksgiving day Grandma, Axel and daddy got out side for some fun baseball time. Grandma had a blast pitching and throwing to Axel and Axel had a blast hitting for Grandma.
Here if you zoom in you can see Axel's great expression.
Look at that determination!
I will continue on the next blog Thanksgiving dinner and the rest of Grandma/pa's trip!
