500 mile turkey trot

I set a goal this year of running 500 miles and I managed to adjust my mileage so that the entire Millser family could complete the goal with a 3.1 mile turkey trot.  Siew Gin wasn't cooking this year so she got to run her second race of the year.

The weather was really great, much better than last year and it seemed a bit better organized at the start, and we managed to complete it in 51 minutes, 46 seconds, a couple of minutes faster than last year.

At the start

1 mile down

2 miles down, nearly there

Finished, time for victory coke

500 miles and counting

Watching Big Hero 6

The boys had a day off school, so we went to see Big Hero 6 which they found very entertaining once they had stopped complaining there were too many trailers..

Cody and Tyler make Kumon Honor Roll

Cody and Tyler both made the Kumon honor Roll.  Tyler made it to number 64 in the country and Cody made it to 125 which is excellent progress.

Parent reading day at school

I thought the idea of going to school was so that the kids could learn to read (although both our kids could read before KG), so I wasn't sure why I had to read to Tyler on his PJ day.

Check out my missing teeth

Play date with Sienna at the Childrens Museum

While Alan and Uyen were playing at a badminton tournament in Colorado Springs, I thought i'd take Sienna and Cody for a fun play date at the Children's Museum. We spent quite a few hours there and both kids had fun doing ALL the activities at the Museum..

Cody's new new bike

I'm not sure how this happen, but Cody also got a new bike.. and here it is:

Neighbor kids

The kids have been playing very well over the whole summer and i kept meaning to take pictures of them, but trying to get all of them to look has been a challenge.

So, today i finally cornered them and got them to pose for a few pics.

Alan finishes up a new well

While i'm at work and the children are at school, Alan's been secretly working on the new well. I think he'll be fine at the next prisoner of war camp!! Anyways, this well digging went a lot more smoothly and looks beautiful!

Tyler loses 3 teeth to the dentist

Tyler had a few shaky teeth in his mouth and since i couldn't bribe him to let me yank it out, we finally took him to the dentist. The dentist happily took my money and Tyler came home with 3 teeth for the tooth fairy. *&$^!@!!!! The tooth fairy is a mug!!

Anyways.. here are the pictures.. not a pretty sight.

Pre.. last look at this baby teeth

Eeekkk

Let's hope they grow back soon! And straight!

Trip to Anderson Farms

It's Fall!! And that means a trip to the corn maze and the pumpkin farm!! And the kids seemed really up for it this year. So, we went. Alan was busy with some demolition work, so it was just me and the kids and I managed to convince Addy to come.

The crowd that day was just HORRENDOUS! Took us an hour just to get in. I was going to walk away but the kids wanted to do it.

Anyways we did end up having a good time. We didn't get to go on any rides because we ran out of time, but we picked some pumpkins and wandered in the maze. Made it to 7 stations!! :)
