Halloween!

For trunk or treat, we are dressed up as the Incredibles (Thanks Mandi!). It was a hit and everyone loved it! It took a lot of convincing for Summer to get in that costume because it wasn't "cute", but she agreed if I put make-up and sparkles on her!

Then on Halloween night, Teegs was still Little Dash and Summer was a Darling Cinderella!

Fun in the Sun with Cousins

The kids loves it when their cousins come. They have a family of a little older cousins that they just love to play with. They love to do anything that they do.

A Wall-e Miracle!

When I started to make lunch the other day, the kids came up to me and asked if they could watch Wall-e. I got it ready for them knowing full well that they wouldn't watch more than 2 minutes of it. Low and behold I finished with the entire lunch and it's still quiet...so I check on them and this is what I find.......

....a Wall-e Miracle! My kids NEVER watch movies/cartoons for more than a few minutes and then to have them sitting together for that long as well, is just unheard of! Made for a very happy Mommy!

My Baby Girl is 3!!

Little Summer turned three this past week! Makes me so sad to think

about how big she is getting, but excited for all the more

fun stages of her life! When I asked if she she wanted to have a party and

what we should do, she replied that she wanted a "lips" party!

She calls anything that is chapstick, lip gloss, lipstick, etc "lips" and that's

what kind of party she wanted to have. So I had to be

a little inventive and make up some things! I didn't get much pictures since I

was orchestrating kids most of the day, but here are a few! Of course we

ended the party with fun time in the pool with a

bunch of toddlers everywhere!

Playing with bubbles waiting for everyone to arrive.

For one game we played Pin your lips on the Summer...modified

verson of pin the tail on the donkey!

Next game I had stuffed "lips"

into a bunch of balloons and left a bunch

empty. The kids had to pop them until

they found a chapstick.

When she opened her gift that

she's been wanting for weeks, a

Fisher Price waterproof camera!

Love you Summer! Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!

How does this happen?

This is how I found Summer last night! Hhhhhmmmm I guess cows sleep standing up, why not little girls?

Road Construction

While we were on a long road trip home we ran into 10 construction stops, most of which we had to stop and wait. That made us always have to go to one side of the road or the other and usually onto the shoulder. So you know the little bumps/indentations at the side of the road to warn you that you are running off the road?? Summer and Teegs thought that was way fun! We kept telling them, Oh no we are running off the road and they would "pretend" to be scared out of their minds. It was pretty funny!

Visit to Wyoming

The kids and I got to go visit Grandma and Grandpa Allred in Wyoming for a week! The kids had a blast and loved hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa. Here are a few pics from the week!

Their first time at a parade! Summer was amazed that

they would just throw candy at her! They loved it!
