Book Worm

This little girl spends the majority of her day with a book in her hands. I've never had a child that loves to look through books as much as she does. She would read all day long if her brother would let her.

Trick or Treating

The cutest little dalmation I've ever laid eyes on.

Our lil Fireman.

Another shot of our ladybug Ava.

quite an enchanting mermaid...she decided she was too cold and went back inside to add an undershirt.

scary zombie cheerleader Anna.

Seeing if the fireman boots from Grandma Preslan still fit...no luck.

Sweet Lily giving me a roar, apparently she doesn't know that dalmations bark.

The whole crew.

Our first stop, our neighbors the Mandells.

Owen enjoying some of his spoils mid trunk or treat, our second stop.

After the trunk or treat we headed over to Santa Clara where I got to visit with an old roommate Becki while Paul so graciously took the kiddos door to door. On our way home around 9pm we stopped by Del Taco...in all the craziness we had forgotten to eat dinner. Nice.

Halloween Parade/ Parties

Halloween parade at the elementary school is always first thing in the morning. Somehow we are always late for school on this day. Anna was a zombie cheerleader, Lainie a mermaid. It took forever to get them ready. I've never used colored spray in hair before so when I got Anna ready, I sprayed her hair black in my bathroom. Big mistake! It left a dusting of spray in the entire bathroom. I didn't notice at the time, but the babies were walking around with black feet. Next time we'll spray her hair outside.

Pumpkin Carving

Preschool Halloween Party

It took Ava until the day before this party to finally figure out what she wanted to be for Halloween. I hate scrambling at the last minute. She turned out to be quite a cute little lady bug. (Yes, the antennas are pipe cleaners and a headband...part of our scrambling.)

All Boy

This boy is always getting into my heels. He favors these little beauties and my red patent peep toes.

Preschool Carnival

Lils was mad she dropped her cookie...i promise she was having fun.

World Festival

The girls are out of school for fall break and we were looking for something to do. The world festival seemed like fun so we headed over to town square to see what it was all about.




Did I mention that my parents moved here?! It's been so nice having them around.

My Chitlins

I've been obsessed with this little girl lately. She is the sweetest little girl.

This little man isn't so bad either...kinda like him too.

Smooch! So sweet watching the two of them together.

and more of my sweetness eating a cracker.

Lainie giving me a courtesy smile while asking a friend over to play.

Love this girls freckles.

The second mother...She is such a big help to me. What would I do without my Anna Jane?

This is the face Lil makes when she sees the camera. All ready for me.

Gid-e-up

Last night Paul and I went to a 40th birthday bash for 2 of the fire wives that live here by us. It was a western themed murder mystery. Paul was given the role of a saloon patron and me, a saloon girl. Nice. It was a fun evening filled with food, laughs and fun. Thanks for a great night Cindy.

Lils

This little girl thinks she can fit into just about anything, including this barbie car.

Marathon

It's so fun living right on the highway that the marathon passes each year. We love cheering them on.
