Halloween 2007

Trick or treating at dad's work.
Everyone was concerned about Laurens little feet sticking out. But- don't worry she had her feet covered when we were outside.
Last year I showed Brianna how you can sort out your candy and the first thing Bri wanted to to was sort it out. She thought that was one of the best parts. Her favorite candy this year was NERDS! Yuck.
I don't know if you can tell but Paige had her hair in a up due. She loved it and I had fun doing it. We also put sparkles on her face and hair. That was the big thing this year. Even out cat (bri) had sparkles. I called her our glamor cat.
This year for Halloween the kids had a blast! Brianna was a cat (again she was last year too. I couldn't talk her out of it), Paige was a Barbie princess and Lauren was a bumble bee. All of our babies are bee's for the first year. It's just become a little tradition in our family. We had a lot of fun getting ready. The girls were really good and loved every minute. I don't think I heard one complaint all day. HEAVEN!! As you can see both of the girls loved looking at the candy the received. Paige was in candy heaven I had a hard time getting her to look away from it. :) The candy since then has been a good way to bribe the girls to eat their dinner and put away their toys.

Our pumpkins

Bri had fun playing in the guts of the pumpkin.
This is Paige and her pumpkin.

We grew three pumpkins this year. The girls had fun watching them grow. Bri was brave this year and got out most of the seeds. Paige just wanted to draw and poke holes in everyone else's.

Last Day With Best Friend 10-18-07

Jessica loves to have her pictures taken. In the picture below they were covering each other up in the leaves much like you would with sand.




They made a pile of leaves and then they would run and slide into it. THEY LOVED IT!
Sisters just being silly.

Today we had Jessica come over because this is the last day before she leaves in the morning. The girls had a good week. We've had the 5 girls in that family come over almost every night and stay with us so the parents could get ready to leave. Brianna loved the time with Jessica and Paige really got attached to Sarah and Stephanie. When they left Paige and Brianna got really mad and sad. The only thing that got them through the move of there friends was that we will see them again because they live in the same city as grandma. They are constantly asking when we can go and see them. Jessica called a few weekends ago and now Brianna is wondering when we can call her. It is hard to see friends move away but I've learned from living here that I'll make new friends and I always learn from something from them. It is also usually something that I need to learn. So- Thank you to all of my friends that have come into my life!
Oh- also can you see some of our fence? Looks great huh! I only wish that we were done staining it. We have put SO many hours into staining it that it makes me sick. I don't know if we are going to get done before it snows.

Monster Eater 10-11-07

Lauren enjoys her first teething cracker. She really loved it for a little while then she was just mad because it wasn't getting the food in fast enough. :)

Big Sister 10-10-07

Brianna loves her little baby sister Lauren. She has been a big help for me when I need to get something done. She helps protect her from her very active sister Paige.

Paige 09-20-07

Paige being silly as always. She decided to get into her stickers and make herself pretty. Well- what do you think? I think she looks GREAT!

The Pink Panthers 09-10-07

The herd of girls that follow the ball was a blast to watch. They didn't really know what they were doing because they only had two practices before their first game.
This is her first half time.

Brianna started playing soccer this year. She was not sure about it just like she wasn't about t-ball. She is a good little player once she got over the fear of kicking someone. This was their first game and Brianna was the only one that got a goal. GO BRI!
