Penny and Allison

The days of watching my LITTLE girls grow up are going way to fast! Allison is 6 months and i love this age, love it, love it, love it, i want to magically slow down time, but the days just keep going faster against my will and desire.

There is a scripture that reads "our lives passed away like as it were unto us a dream"

I guess if life is going to seem to be that fast, at least i am enjoying
ONE AMAZING DREAM!

I love my babies!

I'm already listening to Christmas Music :) :) :)

I've received a few early Christmas presents from my Husband and one of the gifts was a new Christmas CD

JIM BRICKMAN ----------- JOY

Beautiful piano music and a very sweet love song. It makes my heart melt. song number 7 "it's not the gifts wrapped in fancy paper or the lights up on the tree .... there is nothing in all the world i need, when i have you here beside me --- the GREATEST GIFT OF ALL (YOUR LOVE) ...you gave me everything when you gave your heart to me (featuring Amy sky & mark masri)!"

CD found at Target. love it!!

Family Portraits

Enjoying the outdoors

Soon to say farewell

to all the butterflies

the radiant colored leaves

the Autumn flowers

&

the cool fall air

running and swinging at the park

Riding bikes and taking afternoon walks to feed the ducks.

Winters cold breeze is here today and thank goodness it is only for a short season. It's time to bundle up and enjoy the indoors today.

We are still looking forward to an afternoon of raking leaves
and
to sip some apple cider.

Sunshine please do not let your warmth escape from us yet!

A Great Halloween Weekend

Dallin had school off on Thursday and Friday and he DID NOT want to go to school this morning!

The whole weekend was filled with lots of fun. Dallin was one happy boy, he loves the holidays! And i love trying to do my best to make it special for them.

My mummy boy - Wrapped in T.P


Playing with friends :)

We did lots of baking and crafts and got ready for a Halloween party. Dallin had fun decorating the house with cobwebs and spiders, the kids decorated cookies, played the game DON'T EAT CASPER, played witch tag. Then we made mummy pizza's for dinner :) Then our date night group kids came over. We made donuts, and we dangled the donuts from a long string and the kids lined up and had a race to eat the donuts with there hands behind there backs. They loved that! And we finished the night with watching MONSTERS VS. ALIENS.

Saturday's FUN -

*Micheal's Craft store had a halloween project in the morning

*Downtown for lunch to the Spaghetti Factory. Kids dressed in Halloween Costumes ate for FREE :)

Trick or Treated in the neighborhood

Then off to the Church for Dinner and the Trunk or Treat

We finished off the night eating lots of candy and listening to the SONG Monster Mash :)

CASPER - the friendly ghost



Five years ago we made this scarecrow, we still have him and get 'em out every October



My poor little guy has been sick this last week with the SWINE FLU, he handled it well. He did get an ear infection with it, and then his ear drum ruptured, that was the worst part of the illness. Now Penny has the virus and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the rest of us stay healthy! This swine flu is interesting how fast it spreads! I'm glad that the symptoms are not really bad. Dallin's highest temp. was 102 and he had a cough for three days and then he was better. Thank goodness for Tylenol and Ibuprofen to keep the fever down.

The best pumpkin in the whole patch
