Mason loves to help in the kitchen. Note: Brandon made the apron at summer camp.
I guess we were happy it was supper time?

Not sure why we have a picture of Andrew's mouth

Daddy bought Mason some riding boots and pants

Toby! never did get a picture of his brother Adin or his sister (Andrew's future wife) Maisy

Oliver

(medium Simon) like Mason likes to say, would not let me take his picture!

Thomas and Andrew

I took cupcakes into Andrew's class for his birthday and his teacher pulled his ears and the class sang to him...he has such a sweet class this year!

Happy Halloween 2010

This year we had Luigi, a Storm Trooper and Mario
Mason loves this costume...he still wears it and loves to play with the plunger...don't worry it is new from the dollar tree!

Annual Canadian Thanksgiving Celebration!

For the past 4 years, Uncle Nick has made the pilgrimage from Toronto to Chambersburg to celebrate is country's Thanksgiving. This year he brought along Aunt Jessie and her brother Chris. The weekend was jammed packed full of fun. Saturday we woke up to go to soccer games and have a picnic at the fields. The Umbach's joined us at the games and afterwards off we went to the pumpkin patch. Chris is such a city boy, but he really enjoyed the country...minus the stink bugs that seemed to be in abundance that weekend for some reason. Thinh and I took off for Lancaster for his Manheim Central 20th year class reunion at the Lancaster Host Resort. The aunts and uncles and cousins babysat the boys for us. They enjoyed the thanksgiving feast and then went bowling afterwards. The kids beat uncle nick in bowling...thus the bet of breaking eggs on his head below!

Fall Soccer 2010

Swimming Lessons

This is the first summer all 3 boys were enrolled in swimming lessons through our recreation department. Mason was so excited and the instructors from previous summers couldn't believe he was old enough to participate this year since they have been teaching Quach boys to swim before Mason even existed!

Above you can see my cutie pie Andrew ready to jump in...he is in a black suit with a white stripe.

We told Brandon if he passed Level 3, he would be done with swimming lessons since Level 4 is Lifeguard Training and he has no interest in learning it. So, much to his delight, he passed! Here he is practicing his breathing with a kickboard.

I think this is Andrew...

Brandon working on his freestyle with a board.

Andrew looking cool in his goggles and life vest

Hello Andrew!

Mason actually listening!

It is an exhausting 2 weeks of running across town to the pool, but so worth it. And this time around I was able to sit and chat with many other moms from church! We didn't even plan it that way but we sure did love it!

Tennis Anyone?

All 3 boys took tennis lessons last summer. They LOVED it. The coach and his assistants were awesome! Sorry the pics are sideways, i was using a different camera this summer and have not quite mastered it! I have since switched back to my old one!
