Isabel and Jada

Isabel had a wonderful Christmas recital this last weekend! It was so much fun for us to see just how much she had learned. She did such a wonderful job and we were so proud of her. Nothing is more fun to watch than a bunch of little girls dancing around in cute costumes. It was such a wonderful start to the Christmas season!

Our worms

I saw this idea on a blog and thought I would give it a try. They were called Jello blood worms and they turned out so great. It turned out to be a lot of work, but was definitly worth the work. They looked so realistic that it took me a while to convince the girls to try them. They were a hit and the kids had just as much fun playing with them as they did eating them.

A fun halloween treat the was worth trying

They were pretty good and the girls were so proud of them!

The famous pumpkin walk sign!

Blair as Harry Potter

Pumpkin Walk

This would have to be the favorite part of the whole pumpkin walk for the kids. They just love to be their favorite characters and no matter how many times we do it, they still love it.

Isabel as the Genie

The super slide

The kids thought this was so much fun. I bet they went on it twenty times.

It was really fun and I was proud of how brave they were.

Historical Farm

We went to the Historical Farm for all of the Fall Fun.

The kids had a blast and I was so glad that we went.

Riding Horses

The riding helmets

Brooklyn is 3

Her bug cake!

Brooklyn is three now which is really hard for me to believe. It has happened so fast and I can't believe that in a couple of months she will be a sunbeam.

Baby Elephant

When we were at the zoo we were able to see the new baby elephant. It was one of the most cute things that I have ever seen. We could have sat and watched it all day. We bought Brooklyn a baby elephant stuffed animal and she hasn't let it out of her sight since. One of those things you don't see everyday!

Hogle Zoo

We went to Hogle Zoo this past weekend and had such a great time. The kids loved every minute of it and I love the zoo just as much. Everyone was so good we had such a good time I didn't want the day to end.

August nights

The girls were playing outside so I decided to take some pictures. We loved being outside and enjoying the beautiful summer nights. That is one thing that we will definitly miss now that fall is coming.

First day of Kindergarten

Isabel was so excited for her first day of school. I walked her in and she was so happy and didn't hesitate at all. As I left and walked down the hall I couldn't help but feel a little sad. My little girl is growing up and it is the beginning of a whole new thing for us. I am happy that she loves it and am so proud of her!
