One more thing...

For those of you wondering how I made the tutu's. Click here.

More Halloween Festivities

Wednesday Adyson had school, and right when I picked her up she had a play date. Then she came home, got dressed up and went to dance. I was feeling sorry for Sienna because it seems Adyson gets to do so much, and sweet little Enna is stuck home with boring me.
So while Ads was at her play date, I let Sienna skip her nap and we watched a movie together. I got up to fold the laundry and when I got back, I found her zonked out on the floor. So much for fun time with mom...
I love this sweet little face!


I mentioned that Ady had dance class, and was told to dress up in her costume. She opted not to dress up like Hannah Montana, because she knew the wig would drive her nuts while dancing. So we threw together this butterfly fairy costume (which was really just her dance clothes with wings on). She now wants to dress like a butterfly again tomorrow....but I'm betting she will change her mind a few times before we get dressed.



And then today was her Halloween Party at school. We've been driving her buddy Tate to school because his mom just had a baby, so we got her all ready and she exclaimed "I can't wait for Tate to see me, he's gonna think I look so pretty."
Yes folks, we raise em' modest!
And poor Tate didn't even get to go to school due to the flu.
Here she is once more as HM. This year we have gotten our money's worth out of that cheap wig. I'm already Halloweened out and it isn't quite Friday!


These are from her putting on a concert this morning. Oh yes, she's serious about her music.

Hope you guys have a great Halloween too!

Busy.Busy.Busy.

It seems like we have had so much to do the last few days, and life is definitely not slowing down in the days to come. We have dance class, 2 Halloween Parties, a drive to Tree-town, Trick-or-Treating, and school still to come. (I'm already tired!)
On Monday, to add to our week, we went to the Pumpkin Walk. The kids had a great time being outside and checking out all the displays, but they couldn't wait till they got to the pictures at the end. They had to try them all.

The Fam.

We also had our ward Halloween Party tonight. The girls couldn't wait to get in their costumes, and they had a great time.


And since I'm sure you are DYING of suspense, no, we didn't even come close to winning the pumpkin contest.

I think the Bishop's pumpkin won...though we didn't stick around long enough for the official announcement.

Sounds fishy....the Bishop winning.... I'm just saying.

Somehow I have found the time to make some Christmas gifts for the girls and one of my nieces. This is a big deal friends, because I'm so very uncrafty! But I think these tutu's turned out really cute, and they were sooo easy and fun to make.




Cute eh?

I hope you all have a Happy Halloween! And if you bring your kiddies by to Trick-or-Treat, we will give them loads of candy...

The skeleton is the best.

fMy mom bought some pumpkins for the "kids" to carve at her house after dinner last night.




Notice that there aren't any kids in these pics?

What started out by helping the kids, turned into an all out competition between Grandpa, Travis, and I. Cause that's how we roll.

Don't worry too much about the kids though, Grandma was buys stuffing them full of donuts and Halloween candy....too much Halloween candy!

The smack talk was ugly.
Travis (who took Forfreakin'ever to carve his pumpkin), kept saying it was taking so long because there was 18 letters in the word SPOOKY. Count em' T. There is only 6.

Dad (who tells the same joke over, and over, and over), kept saying that his pumpkin wouldn't be done till Thanksgiving.

It was funny the first time. Not so much the 2nd or 3rd...and so on.

He also teased me that my skeleton skull wasn't quite round enough. Whatevs, I think it is awesome. He's just jealous.

We really did have good intentions of letting the kids have a go and the pumpkins. Here's proof....

See, we even got Enna all stripped down for the main event..so as not to ruin her cute shirt.
And since we are on the subject of Sienna...Amy has decided that she looks a lot like the beautiful Michelle Williams...I totally agree. Thoughts?
And the final products, all lit up in glory.

I think the Skeletons the best...I'm just gonna throw that out there. You agree...right?

And here's one of the ladies. They are more than excited for the pumpkin walk tonight. Adyson has been asking since 8 this morning if it is time to go yet. (It's been a long day...)

Dressing Up

After dinner tonight the girls decided to play dress up. Adyson came out wearing this beautiful ensamble, (pink heart pants, lavendar polka dot nightgown, and pink striped oversized shirt). Lovely. She said her name was Brinney and she was in a movie. Have I mentioned that this kid has a very large imagination?



Sienna was wearing this beautiful Island princess dress, and kept saying she was a princess. We agree.

A bit of Enna, A bit of Ads

Enna Bug made it all day today without any accidents! We are so proud. She woke up this morning and said she needed to go potty, and from then on she did. She keeps saying, "I not a baby, I a big girl."

I am thrilled because that means no more diapers for us! Ever! Wahoo!!!

I told her to smile and say -I'm a big girl, and this is what I got...Do you think she looks proud?














The other day during lunch Adyson sat on the stool, put her knee up, and propped her elbow on her knee. Then she said "this would be a great pose if I were outside on a rock..."


weirdo.

Then she asked me to get my camera and take a pic, even though we were inside. On a stool. And she has something on her face....


weirdo.

But of course, I took the dang picture.


After taking it she said, "don't you think that this is a very modest pose?"


weirdo.


We will be teaching her the accurate definition for modest asap.























I do love my little weirdo!

I find this funny.

This is what I walked into today.

The ladies eating their lunch with a friend.

Sienna proudly wearing her Tinkerbell underoos. (We are making progress...)

Adyson proudly showing off her crack.

I just laughed and grabbed the camera.

Happy Birthday Heather

,Today I am sulking. It is my sister Heather's Birthday, and my whole entire family is going to see her.

Everyone but us.

Feel sorry for me. :) (Kidding.)

So to Heather, I wish you a very Happy Birthday. I hope you are able to spend your birthday money without me, I know you count on me as your personal shopper! I hope you all stay up late playing games, teasing dad, and eating way too much. I hope you kiss Brielle many times from me, hug Trayson, and try to steal a hug from Kutter for me. Spend a girl day with grown up Breezy, and buy her something pretty. (She deserves it). I hope you all sit around and laugh at Simon tackling the boys, and I hope you let dad mow your lawn, weed, fix the beds...and do whatever else is on his list, and let mom spoil you all rotten. (She lives for that.)

You deserve a great weekend with the fam. You are the best sister a girl could ask for, and always seem to be here when I need you...which seems like all the time. You are the best friend and sister a girl could ask for! I'm sorry we aren't there, but really hope your birthday weekend is a blast, and I hope you enjoy it all!

Hugs from Grumpy Sienna (who just wants to go to "Jody's house"), Heartbroken Ads (who honestly just misses Kutter, and is hoping for many surprises when grandma comes back), Sorry Travis (who wishes this weekend could've worked for all of us), and Sulking Hayley (who is going to try to make the best of this weekend...somehow).

We all love you. So Very Much.
Here is a b-day message from the ladies for you.

Amy, Michelle, and Tiff-please listen for the "everybody's the same" part at the end. She always says each of you are her favorite, such a politician!
