Corn Maze

For Labor Day, we went to Poulsbo to a Corn Maze.  It's shaped like a tiger.  It was a lot of fun!  I took this picture so help Terry & I get through the maze.  The girls just took off on their own & did just fine.  We saw quite a few families from our ward there, too.  
On our way to the entrance of the maze.

After the maze, we wandered a bit & found this pumpkin catapulting field.  There are 3 boxes you can choose to aim for.  To your left & past the boxes down there is a fenced off pond.  Guess where Terry aimed for his mini pumpkins to fly?
This is Kara & Livvy (below) setting up to shoot their pumpkins.
Emma & Brynn (below).  Brynn wanted to stretch it behind the bales of hay for a longer shot:)

The Bushman's were one family we saw at the maze.
You  could look for your own pumpkin in their pumkin patch if you cut off your right arm and leg for payment.  Otherwise, you could just roam & enjoy the patch.
Livvy liked the Llamas and the barn the best.
Good times!

Twins' 12th Birthday!

Emma & Kara turned 12 on September 23, 2010.  This is the year for birthday parties!  I've not really ever let my girls have "Friend" parties before, so this was HUGE.  They wanted to go to Claywerks, a pottery studio where they can paint a piece & have it fired in the keln.  I drew this beautiful sign on the chalkboard there.  I'm a natural:)

The twins really wanted these shirts they'd found on the internet.  
"Friends Forever, Twins for Life"
So true!

Everyone's busy painting their chosen pieces at the table.

Kara found this in the corner of the studio & was just giggling over it.  Is she my child or what?

Then home for the cupcakes, donuts, & ice cream.

Presents & fun was had by all!!

Brynn's 14th Birthday

For all of you who are wondering, I'm just going to tell you:  I AM A SLACKER!   I am so behind on posts that it's ridiculous.   So I am attempting to just get these next few posts out of my "draft" mode & posted.  Short & sweet:

September 6, 2010 Brynn turned the big 14.  She had a fun party at home with her friends.  

They all took part in shoving one another's shirts with the wrapping paper to enhance their bosoms. 

Emily named her bosoms Helga & Olga.  Lovely:)
