HALLOWEEN...

We have had a very busy but fun Halloween week. I have posted several different slidshows of pics...Enjoy!

Trunk or Treat Day

Paige got to wear her costume to Preschool so it was costumes all day!! Then we took advantage of the one non rainy day and carved our pumpkins!

Chloe's B-day Morning Party

Chloe turned 3, can you believe it? Derek stayed home for breakfast and went and got donuts for us! We had a little party while he was with us before the day began! She got just what she wanted rainboots and and umbrella!

Last but not least, Halloween Night and Chloe's Official B-day Party!

We had our friends over for trick or treating and then cupcakes and playtime! It was lots of fun! We have such great friends who love our kids as much as we do! By the way if you haven't figured it out by now we had our own bridal party for Halloween, Paige the "wedding girl", Chloe back and forth between bridesmaid and flowergirl and Lyla the official flowergirl!

Pumpkin Patch

It's that time of year again...PUMPKIN time! We went to the pumpkin patch after church with some of our friends. It was a little cooler than we expected and kind of crazy since a year ago we did the same thing and we were sweating!! We had a good time and the kids had a blast. We took a hay ride out to the patch and picked our very own pumpkins! It was so much fun...enjoy the pics!!

First Soccer Game

Paige had her first soccer game last week...just now getting around to getting the pictures up on here. She had a good time and smiled almost the entire time. That was my prayer that she would just have fun, considering how non-aggressive she is, I think that is a fair thing to pray for. She did shed a few tears when she got the ball and was kicking it towards their goal. Another mom and I got excited while she was kicking and started cheering for her (well maybe it was yelling) and she turned straight to me and ran right into my lap crying. I guess she got embarrassed. When we got to the car after the game she asked me why I was yelling at her. So, then I had to explain that we were just cheering. It made me think of all those times when I was a little girl that the whole family would come over and watch the Cowboys play, I can't imagine where I learned to YELL instead of CHEER...Dennie, Donnie, Randy or Daddy....anyway, here are the pics.

Soccer and a Little Fall

Paige started soccer about a week ago. Her first game is this weekend and she is pretty excited. Not very aggressive out there but that was to be expected...she does look pretty cute though! We will post pics of the game soon but until then here are some of her practice.

Then here are some pics of a fall wreath my mom and I made. It turned out super cute!!

Tumble Girls

Chloe and Paige are now in the same gymnastics class thanks to a teacher that just loves them. It is a little above Chloe's level but their teacher just modifys it for her. So nice just to go to the gym once a week, at least while we can!! Here are some pictures from their last class. They did AWESOME!! They both enjoy it but Paige LOVES it and works so hard!

Long Time No Blog...

Well, it has of course been way to long since I told you anything about our life. This week is our official start back to everything week. Paige started back to preschool today and had a great day, she has be eagerly looking foward to its return! I am leading a core group at Community Bible Study this year so Chloe and Lyla went to that with me. I have an awesome group of ladies and I am SO excited about it. We are studying Genesis this year. If you are looking for a Bible study go to www.communitybiblestudy.org and see if there is one in your area...it is a blessing. All of our church activities start back tonight as well. I took some pictures this morning of the girls, everyone ready for their new activities! Hope you enjoy! : )
