Kindergarten Halloween party

Halloween was a blast this year! Yesterday was Eva's kindergarten Halloween party and I got to go help out! It was fun to see her interact with her friends and be so excited to introduce me to all of them. She wanted me around! I am going to cling to that memory during her teenage years when she would rather have me miles away. :) Here she coloring a pumpkin: They had everything organized in rotating stations so here is Eva at the cupcake decorating and eating station!

THE ZOO! :)

I got courageous and took the kids to the zoo last Friday because Eva was off school for fall break. We had a great time - here are some pictures:

Eva started Kindergarten!

Eva had her first day of Kindergarten on August 18th, 2010! I can't believe she is old enough for that but, alas, she is! I have to learn to accept it. She is attending a charter school along with her cousin Katie. She is really enjoying it and absorbing all that they can teach her and she looks adorable in her uniforms. :)

Here is her first school picture:

We are still alive!

Hello world! We are still alive here in Orem! A lot of things have changed around here in the last year. Back in April, I quit working as an apartment manager in order to get a better handle on my health and to take care of my two beautiful kids. I think they have been feeling neglected so I am happy to be able to spend more time with them. During the summer, Adam and I went to Italy for two weeks vacation. It was amazing! Quite an adventure for the two of us! We have had people move in and out of our house - friends who needed somewhere to stay. It has been good! We enjoy having people with us but it is always hard when they leave. I get attached and I miss them. Now school year has started and Halloween is around the corner again. It was a FAST year!

HALLOWEEN

Halloween was fun this year! It was fun taking our two little super heros around the neighborhood, through the university mall and to family and friends houses to get . . . CANDY! They came home with a lot! Here are some of our favorite pictures:

Halloween Costumes

When we bought their halloween costumes, the kids couldn't wait to try them on! Introducing . . . . drum roll please! . . . . Supergirl and Batman!!!!!!

Update on the Rushforths

We are all surviving - mostly! Adam and I are exhausted and ready for his MBA to be finished. 7 months and counting!

The kids are doing really well! Eva is back in pre-school and still doing gymnastics. Spencer is growing up so quickly! He is talking up a storm (in 3 languages) and he is the most popular one in our house (some of my friends are living with us right now and they go goo-goo over him)!
