Last night after Gabbi got home from school she sat down to listen to her iPod, which got the curiosity of Isabel. It was to cute not to take a picture…Enjoy!
Selecting a song; they choose David Crowder Band.
…I love this picture.

Rock-star
While Daddy was in Texas visiting Uncle Ron. Uncle Ron and family sent home with Daddy these cool blinking glasses for Isabel!
She’s got the hair; she’s got the shades;
all she needs now are band-mates for her rock-star band!
Show cancelled
Gino headed to Texas this past week to spend time with his brother, Ron and family. The plan was for the two of them to attend an NBA game (which they did) and then the following night go to a Stryper concert. Unfortunately, the concert was postponed until December (We later learned the band had the flu)! What a bummer!
American Airlines Center in Dallas
The game was between the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. Dallas won.
At the game.
Family all piled on the sofa: Ron, Abby, Preston, Crystal, and Shelby
Welcome Gabbi
My cousin Gabbi (and my Aunt Ann and Mirage) arrived on Tuesday of this week to get settled before starting culinary school next month in the area. This has been exciting for us to open our home to both of them while Gabbi tries to find work and an apartment. Unfortunately we were so busy over the past 4 days I didn’t get any pictures of my aunt with Gabbi or visa-versa. I’m so mad with myself since I am always taking pictures of Isabel and yet I can’t even take a picture of my aunt and cousin when they are here! How rude of me!… Anyway, Isabel has just fallen in love with Gabbi and has already invited her to parties! Enjoy!
Gabbi and Isabel celebrating with a picnic.
Welcome Gabbi, we hope you enjoy your stay and best of luck in culinary school!
(Isabel wants to know when you’re going to cook – btw!)
Gabbi’s cat Mirage.
He’s a sweetheart. Isabel just loves “visiting” him.
Fall Fest
Again this year we headed over to Lighthouse Christian Church to the Fall Fest. Unfortunately, we arrived “late” and Isabel only got to play one game and watch a magician. It was rather disappointing for all of us…
Getting her cheeks painted.
Ready to go!
Together we watched the magician.
Isabel didn’t seem interested in the guy and his “tricks”…
She spent the time dancing in the aisle!
Boomerang
Today our church did a free-community family carnival at the locale junior high school. Isabel had so much fun and was asking to do more and wondered if we were keeping games from her!
Isabel decorating her “goodie” bag.
She wrote her name and then added stickers to the outside.
Getting ready to slide.
Bean-bag toss…she gets really close!
Ducky grabbing and she got three!
Bowling and only got one pin.
Potty basketball. She liked this game…
hope it doesn’t give her any ideas for the real one!
Barn toss.
Face painting…a flower.
Carnival clown.
Balloon animal of a hummingbird;
later Gino made a dog and tried to make an elephant too.
Joy to the Heart
This week, in church Isabel learned that God doesn’t look at the appearance or outside of man, but rather the heart. She heard the story about how David was chosen to be King, as told in 1 Samuel 16:1-13.
“The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.” Psalm 19:8 NIV
Her crown.
Not as elaborate as King David’s…but just as priceless…
On the inside of her crown she even wrote her own name. Whenever we do any coloring or craft, she wants to write her name on the paper. Great job!
Here is our little crowned “king”.
Nisqually River
Gino and his friend Jason have been trying to land more fish since their last catch, back in August, but haven’t had any luck. So last night we headed out to scout around along the Nisqually River.
A clear very fast moving river along the border of Fort Lewis. This morning Jason and Gino headed back to the Nisqually to see if they could get their lines on some salmon. Good luck guys! (If they catch anything I’ll be sure to post)
I tried to get some fall color but it was growing to dark, so I got a dead tree.
