Thanks for Thanksgiving Book

i saw this book shown on another blog-MartaWrites. I love the pictures, it looks similar to our house with playing music on the piano, dancing to music, with the girls in there ballerina outfits, and my kitchen table is always covered with lots of crayons and white paper with art work being done.



dressing up as little indian girls, going for a bike ride and playing in the fall leaves, cuddling in warm blankets and watching a funny movie, new warm pajamas, reading books before bed.

I am thankful for the fall season
and all the simple comforts and pleasures it brings!

There are some amazing free printable crafts at Tip Junkie for Thanksgiving! Go check it out. Lots of great ideas! I am sending these two prints to Walgreen's to print out and frame for Decor.

My baby girl . . .

is not a baby anymore, today was her first day in Nursery!

i am happy to report that for the past two weeks she has been sleeping through the night. It has been a long 18 months of not very much sleep. And she is finally no longer nursing :) She is a MaMa's girl 100% and has been my most attached kid. It's hard for me to watch my babies grow up so fast, it does not last long enough!

These next few pictures show how Allison loves to wear her tutu -

She wakes up wanting to put it on and dances to music, she eats lunch with it on and wears it before she goes to bed.

and this picture of Penny holding her baby/toddler sister, shows how big she is getting. This day she fell asleep cuddling with her big sister. A priceless moment!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA♥KEY

Good Morning with a COCKADOODLE DOO from Dallin :)

We hope these drawings
add some laughter to your Birthday

We love you!

and hope you have a beautiful day!!

BOO-ti-ful

Remembering. . . . .

Dallin's first Halloween as a loin, then a lil' monkey. Then his little sister joined the pictures as the most adorable, chubby piggy along with Woody, Dallin loved wearing his cowboy boots. Then a ladybug, spider man and so forth.

O' how sweet memories are!!!

trick-or-treating

Happy Halloween

The Great Pumpkin

Yesterday morning we started the day by going to our local pumpkin patch with Penny's Pre-school group!

Made noodles in the afternoon for some yummy chicken noodle soup for dinner.

Notice in the noodle picture my sweet Penny whistling while she helps me lay out the noodles to dry, i love listening to her whistle or sing primary songs where ever she's at and with whatever she is doing. Luv it :)
I have been sick with a double ear infection - it is miserable to not be able to hear out of one ear and both ears is awful. I get congested in my sinuses which causes my ear drums to rupture, fluid is then in my ears and i can't ear!

On to better stuff - - I have been putting these fun notes in Dallin's lunch. He wants to be a Jedi for Halloween. The notes say "Student by day- Jedi by night" &

And the last picture is of the kids watching the movie Charlie Brown and the great pumpkin, the look on there faces is hilarious :)

Ghost hair clips

For Pre-School yesterday the girls learned about the letter G
so we made these Ghost hair clips for our craft project :)

Columbus Day & Grandma came to visit

for a Celebration of Columbus Day we went to a local high school and they had a variety of booths set up for kids - face painting, cake walk, robotic engineering, and the kids were able to color their own tie-dyed t-shirts - Lots of cool stuff!


Penny and her friend at there soccer game & Grandma came for a weekend visit!


Allison had way to much sugar this weekend, but she loved every bite :)

The kids had a good time with Grandma! It never lasts long enough! Reading books together, painting fingernails, giggling, playing, treats and gifts :) They are well loved!

They decorated a Halloween cookie house with Grandma too.

GOOD TIMES!

and a quote from General Conference

kiddos

this little girl has so many facial expressions! When she is doing something she's not supposed to she winks one eye closed and scrunches her face, it's hard to explain but it's so cute!
Even when she cries she's cute, Allison gets away with way to much because of her CUTENESS :)

Mr. D.

i love this boy!
We took a nature walk this evening and watched the sun set.

Getting snacks ready for Conference

The kids are excited for tomorrow, we have a Conference packet ready and yummy snacks! Dallin wants to make a tent in the living room today as soon as he gets home from school.

Happy October and have a great weekend listening to Conference!
