Silly Syd!

The kids have been soooo excited for Halloween this year. They really understand that it means you get lots of candy. Syd this morning when she woke up she Exclaimed"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" then she pause and said I mean "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" It was so funny! So Hope everyone has a fun day.

It's tomorrow!

Seth had a Halloween carnival at his school and there was a pause in the illness so we went...the kids had fun even though I was wondering why it was really lame. But I was glad a got some pics of them in the costumes because it has snowed and it will not be so easy to get some tomorrow.

October

October has been a busy Month.. I think that we are FINALLY well lets hope it sticks. It is starting to get cold and I know that this means the beginning of the long cold winter but it also means they beginning of the holiday season. (I am trying to focus on the later.) The kids are getting excited for Halloween and so am I. Halloween was my favorite holiday as a kid I LOVE candy! I am loving that my kids are at fun ages. Michael found out that he has to go to Utah for work on Halloween which sticks... but my good old Brother is coming to help with the kids so it should still be a good time. My parents were up this week and it was nice to visit with them. Except were we all sick most of the time. Anyway, thanks Mom and Dad for coming up, We love you!Halloween witches the kids and I made, they were a lot of fun to do.

My Dad got me this beautiful fall bouquet..isn't he sweet..thanks Dad!

Our Girls

My Mom and I made these dresses for the girls..I think they turned out cute.

CAKE

The CAKES!

Half the stars are missing because early Syd and her friend Kate ate them off...I am glad it taste good but I hadn't even got a picture that is why the first on is angle to only show half the cake. gotta love kids!

I just did a small one for little Chloe
It took her awhile to figure out what she was suppose to do but She loved it in the end!!

Both Birthdays were a success... we are still battling sickness around here and it is getting annoying. I still have a head cold that I just can't seem to get rid of. I have and ear ache and I can't even remember the last time that happened.. Syd was throwing up in the back ground of the picture above...good thing Chloe didn't realize that is gross or she might have lost her appetite. Sydney was doing better but then started throwing up again today! Hopefully we can get healthy soon.

ONE!

It's been one wild year for this little one and I really can't believe it has been a year already. Chloe is an awesome little girl and been a great addition to our family. I look forward to all the other first we will experience with her and watching her grow. It has been crazy around here She and I have both been sick and I am glad that she is feeling better today. (Two birthday's in one week really is Tiring!!)

Chloe has been my cuddle baby and I love it. She is a Mama's girl but is warming up to her Daddy. She really Glo's when she smiles and I love the way she lights up any room.
Happy Birthday baby Girl!

Six Years old and wiser too!

Seth requested pancakes last night so I got up early to make some...we were out of syrupy and the kids were not very interested with out a gallon of sugar on them.

I guess that silly face still looks like he enjoyed it.

we opened his present before school so He could play with it after school with his buddy up the road...I forgot to get wrapping paper last night. He thought the newspaper was funny but the always practical Seth Said.."Mom, that is such a good idea because it saved money." Love this boy!
He was so excited and can't wait to play with it...witch reminds me I forgot to get batteries it takes 12!

Seth is a great Kid he is loving Kindergarten and is in the advanced reading group...(Yes I am proud!) He is a perfectionist and always takes his assignments very seriously. He is a great Big Brother and is always so helpful with his sisters. We love you Seth and Hope the 6 is just as great as 5!!
