What a helpful sister!

On Saturday Doug and I spent the morning working in the yard. When we came in we found this lunch that Sophia had made for Lilly. Apparently she got hungry and didn't bother with her slacker parents (who never do anything for her anyway). Sophia got out the peanut butter and jelly and even cut the sandwich into a pumpkin shape. I love that she got her cheese slices, a straw in her cup and everything! What a good sister! Good thing someone makes up for their poor excuse of parents!

Latest Fun Finds

Have you seen this funny video? I love my husband but seriously, can any of you relate?

Last week we checked out this book from the library. I totally remember reading it as a kid and I was happy to see that they had it! My girls loved it too! So fun!
For the last fun find, the other day the girls were twirling and dancing around and we noticed Mabel joining in. It was so cute! I love to see her try and twirl!

More Spooky Delights and Slippery Fun!

Just wanted to post a few more of our spooky decorations. Sophia came up with these ones all on her own. I love them! I also saw this idea in a decor book and thought it was pretty cute.Here's some other fun plant signs.LastSunday we had pumpkin waffles (Doug made them on the panini press) and red velvet pancakes with buttermilk syrup (thanks for the idea D&T)! They were delicious! We let the girls make pumpkin faces out of their waffles. They turned out pretty cute I thought!



Last night for FHE we went to a local park that we drove by last week and the kids have been begging to go to ever since.
Oh this sweet child. She's getting new teeth and hasn't been super happy lately. Doesn't she look like she needs a hug?

She also had a fun time climbing up the stairs and going down the slides by herself. Such a fun age. Ready, go!
We then came home for a yummy oven smores FHE treat.

Here's one of the girls going down the slides. Pretty fun!

Latest Pictures

Just wanted to quickly share a few of the latest pics from the camera. This sweet girl came home with her school pictures the other day. I'm debating about retakes. Thoughts? Seriously though, why do they not encourage a smile or fix a hair here or there? Here's the girls enjoying a treat during the awesome BYU/USU game last week. The treats were good and so was the game (barely).This was Lilly's conference project. She would repeatedly load the animals on Doug (they all were going into the car) and he would shake them off. It seriously kept her entertained for about the entire last session.


The other day Sophia got in trouble for teasing Lilly in the car. I told her when she got home she owed me a few minutes on her bed. When she came back up she had these notes in tow. They totally crack me up.

What do you think? Am I forgiven?
We love you too Sophia.
Last night we let the girls have a sleepover in their igloo tent.

I think they had fun and they actually slept pretty good too! Also yesterday I pulled out all the winter clothes since it's been freezing lately! I hope they're serious with those 70 degree predictions for next week! Here's this cute baby in her "new to you" winter jammies!Speaking of new to you, we were lucky enough to get Doug's grandma's washer and dryer set. Even though our super old ones have of course been nothing short of fantastic lately (thanks again for the washer Kimber!) it was nice to replace them. They're the fanciest set we've ever owned too! I love them because they're super capacity! I can seriously cram so much in them. We feel very blessed and hope that they're something that will last us for many years to come!
