Two Pretty Lil' Witches & a Handsome Lil' Boy

The girls were both witches for Halloween. Skylan loves the Dora Saves the Snow Princess movie and there is a witch in that movie. She thought it was pretty cool that she was a witch and had a broom. We decided not to dress Daxton up since he was going to be in bundled in his carseat. We had so much fun. We went to Paul's office at about 3:30,my parents, my grandma's, and Gibbon's. Hurried home and went trick or treating with the girls around our neighborhood with Simeon and Brigham. We went to Laura's house and then off to Aunt Kelly's for her famous halloween party. Let's just say we didn't get home until about 11:30. I am just so grateful that the girls had such a great time. Jayden was holding her bag, broom and had a big tootsie roll sticking out of her mouth while trick or treating.

Halloween Party @ Nana & Papa's


Every year we carve pumpkins with all of the cousins at Nana and Papa's. The kids had a total blast. They eat donuts and bobbed for apples. Then it was time to carve pumpkins. We were a little carved out so Paul tried to keep it simple this time. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. Daxton was having an awesome time too! Thanks for planning this wonderful party for the kids Nana and Papa. We love you lots!! XOXO

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumkins with the girls. Paul did a Dora pumkin for Skylan and I did an Arial one for Jayden. Paul did a monster for him and a jack o lantern for Dax. I hate to say this but I didn't even take a picture of them after we were done. I guess I got a little caught up with everything. Paul did take a picture of the Dora one on his phone though because it was so sweet. I am just suprised that we didn't take any because last year we took so many pictures after.

It's Party Time!!!!


We had such a great time with the girls friends. We did a Dora Pajama Party and decorated Halloween cupcakes. It was a total blast. The girls loved following Dora's Map in the backpack(around Ghost Tree, through Witches Gate to Pumpkin Patch). We helped a find a bottle for pinkie pie in the backpack, keys to open Witches Gate and dog food for a lost dog in the backpack. We also stopped Swiper from swiping all of their decorations for their cupcakes. I didn't take any pictures of the game because I was too busy telling them where to go but they loved it! I think that Skylan, Jayden and Alexis could especially play it all day long. We also watched Dora's Snow Princess movie in PJ's. I am so grateful that I am able to do such fun stuff with my girls and enjoy them at this age even though it gets crazy at times. We love having their sweet little friends over. Thank you so much for playing with my little princesses. Daxton was just jumping away in his jump a roo. I love that guy. XOXO

Preparation for our Dora PJ Party!


The girls have been having lots of fun playdates and parties with their friends. Since I am teaching them preschool at home. I have decided that I want them to do lots of big playdates with their friends so that they still get interaction with other kids. It has been so much fun. We have done a Dora PJ Party, Halloween Party and lots of craft play groups. I am so excited that I am able to do such fun things with my girls and their sweet little friends. It is a lot of work but lots of fun. They are making cupcakes for there Dora PJ Party. We decorated halloween cup cakes.

Silly Jade


Jayden loves to dress herself. After I change her diaper, she will tell me "pants on" and then she will say "my do it". As you can see that she does do it. For some reason when she puts them on it is always on backwards and she can never pull them up over her booty. It is so funny. She will usually fix it if you tell her it is wrong. She loves taking bubble baths with her big sister. I love this picture of her with her big smile and her hair up high. She is such a silly little girl and we love it. Thanks for all of the laughs Jade.

Papa taking our Picture

We went over to nana and papa's a few weeks ago and papa took a few pictures of our family. It is so hard for us to get good pictures. If I find one where everyone is smiling- I will have my eyes closed. I need to start wearing sun glasses. It was fun to hear the girls laugh while taking their pictures. Thank you papa for taking these pics for us.
