Happy Halloween!!

Here are some of our Halloween Photos

October!!!

It's been a busy month for us at the Farnsworth house! JJ finished out soccer and Ana is still doing ballet. She does such a good job and makes an adorable ballerina. Joel finished the set for the show, "How I became a Pirate" We went as a family opening night and the kiddos LOVED it! I've been working on halloween costumes, Ana's dance recital tutu's and her cheerleader outfits. Yes, outfits. One for JJ's soccer team (The HULKS) and the other for our favorite NFL team....go Packers! We have also been helping with the family Halloween train, the Nightmare Express. This is the kids first year getting to help "scare" Ana's been in the princess tunnel trapped by an ogre and JJ spent time between the pirate tunnel and the Oogie Boogie tunnel. They do a fantastic job. Joel helped animate a 12ft marionette Dragon for the train and has been the primary operator every night while I run around doing whatever. We're excited for Halloween and I'll post pictures soon!

September is almost gone!

Seeing as it's the middle of September and before we know it, October will be here, I figured I'd update ya'll on how it's been the past few weeks at the Farnsworth house.

We returned from our Amazing vacation (stll haven't posted pics, sorry. They are on facebook though) and jumped right back in to routine. JJ is now in second grade and loves it! Ana is in the Pre-K program and is doing fantastic! JJ started soccer (Go Hulks!) and is quite the little player and Ana started ballet. That means I"m running around getting them where they need to go in addition to school and work. I'm super busy lately (which, I love and can't complain)
Joel is continuing to do school, which is awesome! He is back to working on sets at the theater and is hoping to have the opportunity to design another one soon. He surprised me by working on my laundry room floor! He also bought me a new kitten this weekend (Dorkchester the Second) and I absolutely love him!
So, as per usual, we're all busy but loving it!!

August full of 'A's'!

Our month of August has been brought to you by the letter "a". We had a lot of Anticipation for our Disneyland and beach house Adventure. We have been on vacation for almost a week now with over a week to go! We've hit Disneyland twice and had an Amazing time!! Also, we went to California Adventure (what an Adventure that was) We then packed up the car and headed toward Ventura, CA for a week at the beach house with the family. So far, the trip has been completely Awesome!! We're having a great time and are looking forward to more excitement. I'll post pictures later : )

We have passes to seven peaks water park. Here are some picutres of our first adventure

Hot Air ballooning

We are part of the ReMax balloon team. This was the kids first time (and Joel's) setting up a hot air balloon and they did great!

 Everyone got out of bed way before the normal time

 Cathy making a plan

 Alexanders is always the first to go up. They carry the American Flag

 The kiddos loved the pig balloon

 Seeing as I can't set up a balloon and take pictures at the same time...all you get is the end. The kids got to help pack the balloon back in the bag. Thanks Grandpa Jim and Uncle Paul for lifting them up

 Joel jumped right in.

 putting the balloon away. Definately a team effort

 all done

 Such a big helper

 They loved being in the basket

Cathy was unwrapping a chocolate for Ana. She didn't know what to think at first. She enjoyed the chocolate though. They became friends.
