Determination!

She's getting pretty good on those monkey bars....







Yep....pretty sure she's part monkey.

Fun with Friends!

Ryan and I had the pleasure of having Brayden and Madelyn over to play for a little while today while their mommy, Catherine, was at a hair appt. Ryan and Brayden are such good buddies and Madelyn is a little sweetheart so it was a LOT of fun!

The threesome eating some mac-n-cheese

Making silly faces for the camera



Hope we get to play with these kids (and their big sister Addison) again soon!!

Owl Cupcakes!

As an early Thanksgiving treat, Jenna and I decided to make cute owl cupcakes! They turned out SOOO cute and were surprisingly easy to make.







Most important of all...they were SUPER yummy!!!

Downtown Kids

I took the kids downtown to take some pictures. Ryan wore his tuxedo and Jenna wore her flowergirl dress from Auntie Elaine and Uncle Ty's wedding. I thought they turned out pretty cute!










With models as adorable as these....how can you go wrong?

Playdate with Addison!

We were lucky enough to be invited for a playdate today with Addie, Brayden and Madelyn.





Jenna and Addie ALWAYS manage to have SO much fun together!! And their mom, Catherine, and I always have a great time chatting while the kids play. The time always seems to fly by!!

S-P-U-N-K

Jenna's choice in clothing yesterday was full of SASS and SPUNK!!

I helped her put it together but she chose the shoes on her own and, might I add, she totally ROCKED the whole outfit!

It's all about the attitude!!

Happy Halloween!!

This year for Halloween we decided to go with a Wizard of Oz theme. I figure it won't be long before the kids have VERY definite ideas about what they want to dress up as, so my days (or years) are numbered for these "themes".

Jenna was excited to dress up as Dorothy. She loves the movie "The Wizard of Oz" and she has the perfect hair for the long braids! Ryan wasn't exactly THRILLED with his costume...but he was willing to put it on if it meant he got candy!

The first house we went to was Kye Kye and Poppy's!

Kye Kye had special treats for the kids....they were very excited!




We managed to get a quick family picture too!

We then stopped by Mimi and Boppa's for a quick hello.... (sorry...I didn't get any good pictures here!)

we then went back to our neighborhood for some quick trick or treating at the neighbors houses...




It was a school night, so we didn't stay out very late. But the kids had fun and got MORE than enough candy!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Crazy Sock Day!

Today was "Crazy Sock Day" at Jenna's school.


She was MORE than happy to oblige!
