October Fun

We've been having a lot of fun in the Williams family.....

Maezie is five years old and she started gymnastics.  Her favorite thing is standing on her head!



Graeson is seven years old and he is very very excited to get to play flag football!  He did a great job and can run very fast!



Kaela is ten years old and growing up every day....



Bryan (the biggest kid) was very excited to go the the OSU Beaver store.



We went to the pumpkin patch and had fun with pony rides, petting zoo, hay ride, feeding cows, and tons of fun!



We also had fun dressing up for Halloween.  Kaela was a Spider Princess, Graeson was a Ninja, and Maezie was Cinderella.
