Dunk Tank

Hailey's school had their annual carnival.  One of my favorite booths is the dunk tank, especially when Officer Grant gets into it.  We have gotten to know him pretty well and joke around a lot with him.  Hailey really wanted to throw some balls at him but i realize I was out of money.  I found a friend whom i ask, "Could you sponsor Hailey and I in dunking Officer Grant?"  I went first and Bam, hit the target. (yes, i was probably the only parent throwing at the dunk tank)  I missed the second one but now it was Hailey's turn.  She nailed the first one and the second one, no kids did that!  So now every morning when we come to school Officer Grand harasses us, even more than before

Wipeout Run

Jesse and i signed up to do the Wipeout Run.  The kids were so jealous of us, they were dying to join in the fun but it was 18 years and older. Sorry Kids

 Wondering what's to come

 The big balls were so hard, i hit the first one and flew off

 Jesse was amazing on the big balls

 He made it all the way across and the guy working there was so impressed, hardly anyone had completed it.

 Jesse successfully got across the beam too, i fell in the water only 1/3 of the way across

 It was hardly a race, but a lot of fun

 There was lots of entertainment with all the obstacles and costumes.  A fun way to spend a Saturday.  I was so worried that one of us would get injured, we survived!

Emojis

Hailey's contribution to the emoji community. 

This is 40!

 Jesse's big 4-0!  It was a month of celebrating but only 1 night of pictures, whoops.  He and I celebrated by going to the Zac Brown Band at the Hollywood Bowl and staying the night.  

Jesse's present from the kiddos was a nice 70' TV.  Funny thing is we had it set up and Jesse was home for more than an hour and a half before the kids just went crazy and told dad to come in the family room.  Then, when he walked into the family room he didn't even notice it.  He claims the Happy Birthday banner on it was hiding the TV.  It makes such a huge difference watching TV now, he loves it.  The kids are just so thoughtful 

 Jesse had a handful of birthday dinners this month

Happy Birthday Old Man!  You make 40 look good

Party Parents

 Our annual Adult Halloween Party was another memorable one.  Jesse 1/2 Bruce and 1/2 Caitlyn.  He rocked it with every detail.  I a ghost, i tried to be Caitlyn's ghost but Jesse said do your own thing

Look at those smooth legs

 So more Jenners

The cake was the coolest thing i have ever seen.  The head was a boy in high school drama who would scream and commentate every time someone took a slice out of him.  It was hilarious

                                        Jesse went all out, shaving his legs, armpits, and arms

Halloween

Our block party.  I love that the kids still look forward to it and participate in everything

Shane really wanted to be one of those crazy marketing guys at the car dealerships.  He tested my creativity skills on this costume.  Hailey's was easy, Huntress from Hunger Games.  Both kids just loved their costumes this year

This neighborhood is the bomb for trick or treating, people go all out with their homes and everyone dresses up

Our group Trick or Treating.  It was pretty amazing that Shane never fell and kept that costume on for 2 miles of trick of treating.  He said everyone was commenting on his costume

Hailey girl

Every year the Sketcher Walk happens and we can never do it.  This year the Meyers took Hailey and she said it was so much fun.  I love that Hailey is so adaptable, she is always begging to ditch us and go with other families.  She was mad when we came and got her 5 hours later.  That's my girl!

Hailey and her best friend were presented at school with Amazing Athlete Awards.  Out of 60 kids in PE they were the only ones chosen for sportsmanship and ability to play.  No boys got it!

Girls rule, Boys drool!

Cotillion

Shane is the lucky guy who gets to do Cotillion.  Here he is before his first dance not knowing what was to come

Hall of Famer

 Jesse was nominated to be inducted to the Hall of Fame.  He originally thought it was a joke when they contacted him he had never heard of it.  He hadn't step foot on campus in 16 years and as we walked around he was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was.

Proud of this man, Well Deserved.  His coach gave a really nice speech

A friend asked where they are going to display the plaque at the school, his response, "Girls Locker Room"

We stayed with Kylee, Bryan and Avalee and Jesse installed a trapeze for her

A little Christmas shopping at Seaport Village

"Geography"

Hailey has been super interested in "geography" as she calls it (geometry and trigonometry). She has spent hours with Jesse learning how to calculate angles in intersecting lines; angles in lines that intersect parallel lines; angles in right and isosceles triangles; the area of squares, parallelograms, triangles and circles.  She's had a great time, especially when she learned about Pi.  The thought it was too funny and said she likes all kinds of pie: apple, cherry, pumpkin...  We hope her curiosity continues.
