Kid Comedy

Grace- My school shoes are too small for me
Me- Really? (we just got new shoes a few months ago)
Grace- Yes, I am too big for my tennis shoes
Me- So, you need new shoes?
Grace- Yes...shoes that light up.

Have a happy week!

Portraits 2011

We weren't going to do portraits this year, but I got an amazing deal, so we decided to get some of just the girls. I'm not posting the main one we're using for our Christmas card, but here are the others. I wasn't thrilled with the photographer (she zoomed in too close a lot of the time), but it was super cheap, so I guess I can't complain. Here are my favorite shots. I love my beautiful girls! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Love,
Aubrey

P.S. We have the CD and copyright of the pictures, so any of you can print any you want. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween in Logan!

We went to the "haunted" corn maze a few weeks ago. It was REALLY scary - Adam lasted about 3 minutes, and then we spent the next 30 minutes begging the scary guys to show us the way out. Big Brian took Tyler and Brian through the entire maze and they seemed to have a great time (even though little Bri was caught chanting to himself "don't hurt me, don't hurt me, don't hurt me" hoping to repel the scary guys while trying to look brave).

Happy Halloween! We got lucky and had the last nice day of the season (before the 30 degree weather and snow settled in.) The kids got lots of candy and still think it's the second best holiday. Our neighbors put on a fun chili get-together before the trick-or-treating craziness started, so I didn't have to worry about dinner. My highlight of the day of course!

I love how Brian gets into Halloween and dresses up every year. It makes me hate it less. Why do I hate Halloween? Oh well, time for an attitude adjustment.

My cute little pirate loved his first Halloween party at preschool. He felt like one of the big boys and had a great day. I wish I would have gotten individual shots of the rest of them. Oh well, there's always next year!

Cute dogs and cute kids

Mark's parents got our doggies some costumes for Halloween and so we dressed them up for a few minutes.

 

Lily seems to be saying "help me, please". She's a patient dog though.

 

I didn't get a good picture of Daisy, but here you can see that she was dressed up too.

 

I like this picture of Joy, she is so often just really happy.

 

Daisy and Lily were groomed today and they are so white and fluffy and beautiful when they're groomed. They smell great too for a few days, so that's good (they don't smell too bad the rest of the time either).

 

Today when we asked Joy to smile for the camera she would scrunch up her face so cute and smile. Such a cutie!

 

And here's our pretty Grace posing for the camera.

That's it for now. Things here are going pretty well. I've been sick with some back-to-back colds and a pretty bad sinus and double ear infection, but I think I'm on the mend (with two antibiotics on board). Joy's appointment with the infectious disease guy was pretty fruitless. He thinks she just gets sick regularly with high fevers, with no other symptoms. Can't say that I agree with him, but at least it's probably not serious, just disruptive. We're going to wait and see how she does.
Grace and BethAnne have most of November off (because their school is year round), so I'm looking forward to having my girls home this month. Hopefully we can practice cleaning and playing nice together. Have a great week!
Love,
Aubrey
