At the end of the summer I took pictures of all the flowers in our yard. I was very proud of our collection and all our work. Here are some of the pictures. I am not a photographer, but I think they turned out really well. I can't wait 'til next summer to get out there again!
What was my favorite costume when I was a kid???
I was gypsie once, and I really liked that costume. I remember hating it when it was so cold that I had to wear my coat....under or over my costume. Now I'm the mean mom that makes her kids wear coats with their costumes when it's cold....oh how things come full circle.
What is my favorite Halloween candy???
M & M's, of course!!!!
Do I have a Halloween tradition???
We always carve pumpkins on Halloween, and we have chili for dinner (I don't know why...easy and hot?). Sometimes we go to my sister-in-law's house for dinner, a party, and trick-or-treating.
Have I ever given a trick instead of a treat???
No, I'm boring.
I BOO:
Whoever wants to do it.
Hooooorrrraaayyyy!!!!!! TJ was so excited that he finally lost his first tooth. I could tell that he was starting to feel bad because a lot of his friends and cousins have lost teeth already and he hadn't. So, finally, the day came!!! That grin did not leave his face all day, it was really cute.
And there it is....the empty space. The tooth above it is also loose.
Here is my cute smiley baby. She is so darn cute! And she is such a good baby! Last night I fed her at about 9:00pm and when Justin's alarm went off at 6:30am I freaked out.....Justin, the baby never woke up! She slept the whole night. Oh, but that does make me sad that she is already that big.
My two cute girls.I am so lucky to have such good kids. I just realized I don't have a pic of Brenden on this post. I'll have to get some of him for next time, so he won't feel left out.

On Sunday we finally got to bless Kate. Of course it was the day it snowed 7 inches!!!! So thanks to all our families who drove in the snow to get here!!! Doesn't she look so pretty??? I thought she looked like an angel. She was really good during the blessing, but she cried the whole rest of the day. I don't think she felt very good. At least she was good during the blessing!
Proud Mom!!!
The girls! I thought we all looked pretty that day. I put foam curlers in Alyssa's hair the night before and it turned out really pretty. Kate wore that dress until right before the blessing. You never know what will happen!!!
Happy Birthday big SEVEN-yr-old!!!! ( I can't believe my cute boy is 7!!!!!!)
Happy Birthday big THREE-yr-old!!!! (I can't believe my little girl is 3!!!!)
Here is her official 3-yr-old picture. It's amazing that I actually got her to smile =)
Here is Alyssa with her flower cake. I have one of her smiling, but for some reason I can't delete this one in order to put the other one on. Oh well, you get the point. They both had good birthdays, and I am so grateful they are my children. They are great kids. I love them so much!!!
We finally took Kate to church last Sunday. She did a really good job!! She slept until about 1/2 way through Sacrament Mtng. She slept all through primary, thank goodness!! And she looked soooo cute!!!
Our two girls!!!
Look at our cute kids!
