Pre Halloween FUN!!!

We had some friends over to decorate Halloween cookies, and what wasn't used Hannah had a BALL doing herself!

Wow - what a mess! I love this glaze though -it is really easy to clean up!

Plus... it is even fun for Mommy!

I loved my haunted house!

Here is Emma the Friday before Halloween - al dressed up as a fairy queen....

Yep - she is gorgeous!

LOVE this one!

What a handsome boy too!!!

This cutie wanted in on the action!

A friend of mine decided to try making bows while she was on bed rest after a surgery - and she made this one for the girls (which they fight over!) It is sooooo cute - thanks again Emilee!!!

CUTIE PIES!!!!

LOVE that smile!

Russ at his Halloween parade for the kindergarten!

We ran into Miss E in the hall! She was so excited to see us!

What a seriously handsome guy!

We have so much fun during this time of year! Halloween is way too exciting!

Lots of randomness....

Have to post this pic - here is Elise drinking "green machine" and shrimp salad! CUTE! ;)


This is a long story... but the short version is Hannah passed out because she was crying so hard. She was so obviously scared when she woke up that I held her and rocked her and then she fell asleep - for about 3 hours. It was so so sad, poor thing!

Dirty Elise! Sooooooo cute right?

Russ has been so tired since starting school - I thought this was cute when I checked on him one night!

Hannah tired from playing so hard!

She is just so beautiful it makes my heart ache!

These two are too cute!

So happy!!!!

Party time!

We had so much fun one afternoon when our friends, the Hawmans, came over to play and to watch a movie! It is so fun that all the kids have a friend the same age!!!

We are sure going to miss them all when they move to Utah! :(

First day of school!!!

Ummmmm..... YA - this is from a LONG time ago. Obviously!
Look how cute these two are though, seriously!

Maybe my fav pic of all time (of these two).

Waiting at the bus stop! Hannah can't wait till it is her turn!!!!

What cutie pies! To bad Elise is strapped in in the car! ;)

I expected some tears or something but no - he was off and running! Sooooo happy to be in school now!

Careful bus - you have two peices of my heart in there!

MAJOR catch up!

Back in the summer when it was gorgeous and so so so warm we played in the water a LOT and were outside all the time - I don't think we came in the house most of the summer...

Hanging out on the chairs!

Here is our 2nd annual mud and oatmeal fight!!! Sadly a lot of Laurels had conflicts (and a few did NOT want to get dirty....) so we onlt had 2 girls this year... NEXT year is going to be HUGE!
