Dress up

We took the kids trick or treating around mom and dad's house and after to the church for some games and more candy on Halloween. The kids were troopers and did very well. The girls were cute Garden gnomes and Noah Batman.

Little Helpers

Eve and Lily helped me today with planting wildflower bulbs in the yard while Noah was at school. They were so cute, they helped me the whole time. Their job was to pass me bulbs from the bucket. There was a few spills but they did awesome. When they got tired they plopped down together on the hill and it was so adorable, I had to go get the camera.
I sure hope that these bulbs make it in the spring, I think they will look neat on the edges of the yard. I will blog about them in the Spring.

Sunday Walk

Yesterday Noah, Ethan, J and I went on a hike up the hill behind our house. It was actually really cool. We found lots of bones, mushrooms and nice views. It took us an hour to go up across to the west and down. The boys loved the half way pit stop on "Chocolate Bar Log" as it is now know at our house.

Vancouver weddding

We had a trip to Vancouver this weekend for Julie's cousin Liz's wedding. It was a nice time away and a beautiful wedding. Julie was in the wedding party and i had the duty of videoing the ceremony. We had some nice weather and even went for a few walks around downtown, did some shopping and soaked in the pool and hot tub at the hotel. Good time.

Big Family

At the Slovenian Picnic this year, someone had the brilliant idea to take a picture of all the Novak kids there. It wasn't as bad as you may think. All the kids ran in the picture and stood relatively still. And we decided to take a twin picture, only Julie's twin uncles are missing.

Fishing Trip 2011

We had a great time fishing this year. We caught the largest Halibut and Salmon for this year on the boat. Everyone's cameras loaded up with shots of whales and eagles. The ocean was calm for most of our trip, but we still had some people get sick on the zodiac. The food by Chef Cody was incredible.

The hot springs, laughing, puking, eating, fishing, funny discussions, Trini Lopez, whales, calm ocean, and eagles are just some things that describe our trip. It was a trip of a life time. Thanks everyone who came and made it great. :-)

Poor Lily

As you can see Lily's black fly bite has healed nicely on her right eye. Poor girl woke up with another bite on her left eye. We might just keep her indoors all summer.
