{Swimming Lessons}

We started swimming lessons back up & the girls are loving it. SORRY for the horrible pictures...the lighting in this pool is really bad...

Bailey does surprisingly well on her back

Petyon was so cute on Friday- she was waiving to everyone in the pool


She is also doing pretty well on her back

They played with pumpkins last Friday

Here are a few videos...please excuse the screaming kiddo in the background.

Most of what they do in Peyton's class is to songs...

Check out the end of this video, Bailey LOVES jumping in the pool (and wanted nothing to do with holding Dad's hand) :)

Another funny jump....I love that she is comfortable in the water

I know...I know...it is early, but I am excited for Halloween!

I needed to take some pictures this weekend for some cards so I could not help but post a few as well. I love Halloween & here are a few pictures of the girls. Peyton is a flower & Bailey is a witch. Papa asked her if she was going to be a good witch or a bad witch...and she replied, "I am a sandwich!" Ah, I just started rolling. Bailey helped me decorate this weekend with spiders too. She put this big one (about 2' long) on her back...I was shocked that she carried that one around that way it is kinda scary looking





We had a beautiful 70 degree weekend.

{ Lucky Strike Bowling }

JJ won a free bowling night at the new Lucky Strike lanes in Bellevue. It is a very cool place! The first game was all about speed for the boys...JJ won by "throwing" the ball 24 mph down the lane! Let me tell you, there were more gutter balls than anything because they were focusing on SPEED- it was very funny. I was focusing on knocking down those dang pins- and I still only got a score of 56!

The look did not help, I still threw the ball in the gutter!

Kretz rollin' a fast one...

{ Our trip to Lake Chelan }

We took one last trip this summer & went to Lake Chelan with my parents & our friends. We had warm beautiful weather & perfect water. We were there for 5 days & had a blast. Here are some pictures...

Getting ready for an early morning ski...
Peyton is still in her PJs!

After a long day out on the boat & playing at the beach...the kiddos were starving for dinner! I just love this picture of all 6 of them around the table. Bailey, Presley, Peyton, Alliya, Carter & Cole...6 kids under the age of THREE!

Peyton had to be part of the gang :)

{ Happy 3rd Birthday Bailey }

We had Bailey's Birthday and had about 20 kiddos & their parents over...it was a busy day! But she had so much fun! She was so excited about her birthday & her friends coming over. Here was her invite...Jamie made this one too (I LOVE what she does). You can check her site out at: www.weelittledesigns.com
