October Pictures

October is always such a busy month, but I love it.  I don't necessarily "like" Halloween, but I love seeing how much the girls enjoy it. They love dressing up, going door to door (although I think they both like coming back and handing out candy even more), the ward party, cookie decorating, pumpkin carving and Fall festivals.  Such a fun time of the year.

 Riding the neighbor girls toy.  I love our

cul-de-sac that we live on.  We have the best neighbors.

Almost every night, the kids play and the moms chat.

Hailey colored this picture so cute!

 Addy said "look mom, I'm a scorpion".  I told her we

had enough of those things in real life already! Speaking of

scorpions, Addy has become quite the little scorpion hunter.
Almost every night, I go outside looking, and a lot of times,

she grabs the other light and comes with me. 

 We invited Olivia and Payton over to make Halloween cookies.

 Addy and Olivia.

 Hailey and Payton.

 Hailey trying on her Halloween costume.

 Addy's tooth about to fall out.  This girl will

not work on a tooth.  She will literally let them

dangle by a thread until they fall out haha.

 And it's out!!

 Helping me make overnight oats.

 Playing school with the neighbor boys.  

 This palm tree had termites and it eventually

killed the tree.  Jaren worked many hours

trying to pull it out. It was tough!

 Helping daddy take apart Remi's cage.

This girl sure is cute!

 Outside of church.  Love these girls!

Bahama Bucks, her favorite.

 Campout in the family room!

 My what big teeth you have!

Cute girl!

Fall Festival

The girls had their Fall Festival at school.  They played games, had popcorn and snow cones, and had a great time.

 Having fun and enjoying a cupcake and a snow cone!

 Look at that smile!  She was SO
excited to have a butterfly painted on her cheek.

 Waiting in line for a game.  

 Addy didn't want to play too many games, 

I had to talk her into them.  She's so timid.

 Addy and her friend Britta.

 Addy, Britta and Clancy.

 These two are such good friends!

September Pictures

 Addy asks for this giant tub of cheese puffs

every time we go to Costco.  Well today was her lucky day,

because I said yes.  She wouldn't put it in the cart and carried it

around the whole rest of the shopping trip haha.

 Water balloon fun in the heat.

 Cold Stone Creamery!  Yum!

 I tried taking them to As You Wish Pottery where you get to paint

your own pottery.  I was dumb and didn't book a time slot ahead of

time, and they were full. So, we went to Michaels Craft store and

they picked out something to paint.  It ended up being so fun, and way cheaper!

 Hailey picked a unicorn.  She loves all 

things sparkly and unicorn right now. Addy 

picked out a house that she was going to use with

the little Oh Jenny doll house people.

 All done, so cute!

Hailey's unicorn turned out so pretty!

 Love these girls of mine!

 Ok, so we might have a serious addiction

to going out and getting treats haha.  This time

we went to Sassy's Café.  They have the BEST
red velvet cupcakes ever!  They are Jaren's 

favorite, so of course we brought him some home.

 My aunt and Uncle (Deb and Wes) had

a 50th wedding anniversary party.  Jaren had 

to work, but the girls and I went with Nana

and Papa.  There was lots of food, and the 

girls had fun dancing!

 Doesn't look like a party yet, but this

was before more people got there.

 Hailey made herself a unicorn horn, silly!

 This cute girl is smiling because her 

eye exam went perfect.  No signs of

either eye drifting at this point.  I think she

is mostly smiling though because she doesn't

have to get her eyes dilated.  She hates that!

 We celebrated the first day of Fall

by making caramel apples for the first time.

 All ready to dip!

They had so much fun decorating

them with sprinkles.

 They were pretty tasty, even though the caramel 

starting falling off the apples!

 YUM!!

 Silly Hailey girl!

 We went to Sam's Club and they

were giving away cotton candy for

donations to a children's charity.

 Popsicles with the cute neighbor boys. It's so nice

having Fridays off school.

This girl was very excited to use tools

and help me unclog the bathtub drain.
