Halloween 2016

We had such a fun Halloween this year! We went with a Peter Pan theme this year. Emry wanted to be Wendy but I couldn't find any costumes that were great, so I was going to make one so I called Vivian for her expert opinion. That's when she said she would make it, so of course I let her because hers would be so much better and I'm glad I did because her Wendy dress ended up being so cute and perfect! There is just something about a homemade costume that is extra special! Wesley was Peter Pan and I did make that costume. Norah was the cutest Tinkerbell ever!

I volunteered to help in Emry's class for their Halloween party. I love watching her in class. She really is such a special little girl. She loves being in class and is so helpful, respectful, and always follows directions. Love that girl!

  Next Halloween activity was Ryan's work party. The kids always look forward to this party. They love trick or treating at Dad's work. Ryan loves to show them off too so it works well :) They had a Toy Story theme on one floor and they had Andy's room. It was unbelievable! They always go above and beyond!

 Another floor was Neverland, which was perfect for my little crew!!

 Cutie Pies!

Carving pumpkins! I asked her if she wanted to get all the guts out and she was so excited. Then she leaned in and said, "Actually, it smells really bad, so I want you to do it!" She's funny because she never really wants to get her hands dirty. Haha!

 Halloween Night! These kids had so much fun Trick or Treating. I was impressed by Wesley and how long he lasted. I was going to drop him off and keep going with Emry but he kept saying "No, Trick or Treating!" I mean, look at that smirk. He's adorable!

Girl's Weekend

We had the funnest time in St George for our Girl's Weekend! Lynne and I packed into my minivan with the girls (plus Wesley) and drove down to St George together. It's been so long since we've road tripped together because we don't all fit in one car anymore and the time went by so fast. The kids loved having each other in the car and they did amazingly! We also convinced my mom, grandma, Kelli, and Cadence to meet us in St George and we made a real girl's weekend! We swam, ate good food, shopped, played, swam some more, went to the Tuacahn to see Peter Pan, and just had such a good time. It's been a long time since we've stayed up way too late chatting and spending time together. It was a blast all being together!

Grandma Donna and Norah

 Livvy is a fish! She loves water so much!

 These girls had so much fun together. I love seeing their friendships grow! They are adorable together.

 We randomly showed up to the carousel and there was a rally going on where they gave out free food, candy, and free rides. We had a blast!

 The girls ready to go see Peter Pan. By the time the show started, the girls were actually exhausted. They were swimming and playing hard all day and the show didn't start till 730. Emry was asking to go to sleep in the middle of the show but wouldn't actually fall asleep on me. Other than that, they loved the show.

 Love my girl!

 At the show!

 Matching dresses for the girlies!

Norah 7 Months

Norah is getting so big and is just getting to be so much fun. Love this little 7 month old!

She is rolling all over the house, has 1 tooth with another that will shortly make its appearance, eats anything I give her (she just eats with the family now-hallelujah!), wears 6-12 month clothes, laughs the most at Emry and Wesley's crazy shenanigans, loves her binky, started reaching for things on her belly and with rolling and reaching can mostly get them, and finally takes a bottle now. We love you sweet girl!
(The quilt behind Norah is the quilt Vivian made for her. It's darling! Vivian really has a way with quilting! I hope someday I'm as good as she is!)
