Goolish Food

I just had to post some of the goolish food from the Halloween party...YUMMY>

I made this layered dirt pie!!

Darren and Candy were the host of the party.  She is due to have a baby in March. We do "life" with them.  They go to our church and we have became friends over the years.  We have been in a  "lifegroup" with them for over 2 years and its wonderful enjoying our friends and we are so thankful for them.

Happy Halloween

For Halloween, we went over to the Peterson's.  The girls were butterfly's.  I really wanted them to be monkeys.  I was going to be a banana and Ryan was going to be the zoo keeper... but it was too HOT. 

The guys.  (Ryan, Alex and Darren)

Trying to get a family pic.

My sweet thing.

Happy Anniversary

Happy 6 year Anniversary to us!!
We had so much fun this year celebrating it a week early.  We flew into Columbus for a quick weekend.  My parents came to get the kids and we enjoyed the football game and some alone time.  We seriously both took a nap at the same time, how funny is that.  What is funny?  well, when we got married, we always took naps on the weekends and all afternoon.  It was nice to do that again.  Something so simple, free and memorable.  We are so blessed that God has His hand in our marriage and we pray for His guidance and protection in our marriage. 

Fall Fun

Few days before Halloween, we celebrated Scarlett's little friends birthday. Happy Birthday Diana.

We had a little fall fun dress up!!

We made fall cookies in the easy bake oven.

We have had a really fun fall.  Scarlett is at such a fun age.  Willow is right behind her in everything she does.

It's all gone

It can't be all gone.

Fine, I will lick the glass jar.

See, I don't even have any more in my mouth.   Willow has been quite the little character and these pictures just make me melt.

Yo Gabba Gabba

Scarlett loves Yo Gabba Gabba.  She doesn't get to see Carina too much since she is in school.  So we were off for a girls night out. 

It was so nice to go somewhere special with Scarlett.  I want time with each of my children in their own ways. 

She didn't stop smiling.

Afterwords we took them out for ice cream.  She was such a good listener the entire night.  I told her we weren't buying anything at the show and she did great.  She just begged a little for the 15$ glow stick.  Of course I had to treat her at the end of the night for being able to go somewhere and enjoy it without all the bells and whistles.  (ok, so maybe i wanted a coffee by the end of the night at DD)

Chillin intercoastal

We were invited for a day to paint pumpkins at the inter coastal park.  (yes, i promise more girls were there but as I look at this picture, she is a bit out numbered)

Willow + outdoors = happy baby

Put it in the history books.  My child slept in the stroller for more then 15 minutes at the park.  This has never happened and I am not going to get to anxious for it to happen again. But it was nice while it lasted.

Decorating Pumpkins

Tara, Adilyn and Trista (not pictured) came and had so much fun decorating pumpkins at the park.

Danielle and Cameron were there too.

Thanks to the Kopecs for such a great idea at the park.

Scarlett's favorite thing to do is paint.  She loves anything with paint, markers, crayons and scissors.

Nana and Scarlett

Awhile back, when the girls were in Ohio in late summer and fall, Nana took them to see Grandma Pearl and Aunt Sandy.

Scarlett loved her some good ol' country farming.

This game looks awesome.  It looks like something I would love as a science experiment.

This looks even better.  I think she was having the time of her life. 

Willow - 14 months

Willow Grayce is so much fun.  She has almost a mouthful of teeth.  She is working on her back teeth, you can feel them coming through.  OUCH

She loves the camera.

Willow, let me tell you a little bit about yourself at this little stage of your life.

Loves to do itsy bitsy spider with us when we sing

loves to pose for the camera and smile

loves soft gerber cereal bars

loves to walk and run around like crazy

is in love with going UP the slide at the park

loves when daddy walks in the door 

loves when you giver her a compliment, she gets all shy...try it

loves little baby dolls and gets close to their face and laughs

loves the outdoors, and LOVES to sit at the front door with it OPEN.

loves her sissy and looks for her in the morning when she is not up yet

however,

she is not in love with

dogs, cats and etc (yes, i think she is ours)

anything that really moves or makes a rattling noise

when everyone goes into another room and leaves her hanging

She usually always has a ball in her hand.

Mommy was out and about in Tampa.  We had to turn at "Willow" Ave. to get to the Arena.  Oh, my precious babies, they might not have a lot of other "people" named after them but streets are.  It was nice to see it and think of my little cuddle bug.

We just don't go camping

Let me rewind here,  these pictures were taken back in late summer and beginning of fall of this year.  Scarlett got this bright idea that she wanted to go camping.  Guess what, we don't camp.  Ryan and Jill only camp in hotel rooms (I personally learned this straight up from my parents.)

So she weaseled Uncle Dan and Aunt Ashley into camping.

They had so much fun!! 

Not sure how long she lasted that night, but when it was all said and done, she loved it.  We always tell her that if she wants to go camping to ask her uncles and aunts.   

Marshmellows

While Scarlett went camping, of course, the made marshmallows over the fire.

I love this picture.  Can I bottle her up and have her stay little forever?

Thanks Aunt Ashley and Uncle Dan for the spoiling and loving on our little girl.
