Imola Castle

The kids and I went out exploring one day in the center of the city where we live, and come up on this awesome castle! They loved exploring around because there were lizards everywhere...if they could catch one they could take it home:) The last picture is of these huge doors on the back, I loved the big doors!

Halloween Italia Style

Since Halloween is not celebrated in Italy we have to make our own fun. We carve any pumpkin we can find, cause they usually dont grow them here. We make sugar cookies, and then we trick-or-treat all of Trent's teammates cause he can explain what is going to happen first! The kids do get a lot of candy from them, cause they are they only ones coming...they love it!

Playing in the Square

We live right in the center of Imola which is beautiful! This is a square right outside of our apartment that the kids love to ride their scooters in. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE ITALY!!!!



Besties!

Moving into a new place is hard, but my kids have found some really great friends that have made an amazing difference in their lives! We have spent alot of time with them lately, mostly for football, the boys are on the same team, so Amari and Brynlee got to play every night together for 2 hours! I love them like family, they are so much fun to have around and get along great with my kids! Every Friday is early out at school, so Friday is friend day at our house, and the kids get their friends over. Here are some pics of them playing...

Toothless Wonder

Amari kept a tooth that was loose til she got to her daddy to have him pull it out. It was literally hanging on by a thred! By that time the tooth next to it was loose too, so she lost both of them the same night!

Family Pictures

We FINALLY got our family pictures done! Thanks to Alicia who worked so good with us and all of our rescheduling this summer! They turned out great!




BYU





We took the kids to BYU to see the football team in action since Jace is having so much fun with football this year and has a love of the Y. But since the visit Amari has taken a liking too and asks everyone if they are a Cougar fan???
