Need to get some captions up but at least I posted a few pics!

The kids had a gift exchange and lots of holiday events.

Caleb was Joseph in the school play and did a great job.

Nolan played one of the wise men and wouldn't wear his hat because he thought it was silly.

Nolan and Ethan

Nolan and Caleb mess with the guitars and piano at times and I hope they want to take lessons soon.

Nolan's California kingsnake is doing well.

Ethan came over and explored the farm place with us and then we went to Samoa to battle iceplant.

We went to the mushroom fair and also played with a fun science kit.

One night we had even more friends over and had a big dance party!

The last day of the farmers market.

Just a few pictures of the fall....

Soccer fun. Here are a few shots of the Green Tigers (Caleb is #4) and the Blue Dragons (Nolan is #8)

We had a fun camping trip with the school at Patrick's Point State Park in the Red Alder Group Campground. I got to take the boys on a little nature walk to the Sumeg Villlage and Ceremonial Rock.







We also went to a skate competition at the Arcata Skate Park and over to Trever's house to see her snakes. She takes care of animals for the Wildlife Rescue Center. She currently has a red tailed hawk, 3 kingsnakes and a rattlesnake.






We also got free tickets to the drag races which were a ton of fun (and very loud)!

Here are a couple shots of our trip down the Coastal Trail near the Klammath River. The fog was dense at first, but finally cleared out for some nice views. We heard a lot of sea lions and Nolan found 4 snakes. Caleb hunted mushrooms.

I found some old photos on my phone and my other digital camera. My phone takes TERRIBLE photos, but sometimes it is my only option. The boys love playing with the kayaks and bouncing on the trampoline with them is extra fun. Nolan made me a really cool necklace and Caleb loves bird watching at the Marsh. He's really good at finding them and getting better at IDing them.

The boys are both doing really well in soccer this year. Caleb is aggressive on offense and scores a lot of goals for the Green Tigers. Nolan prefers to play defense for the Blue Dragons. Very fun to watch!
