Sugar Cookies and Pumpkins

We made Halloween sugar cookies today! As we were making them Mia had to stir the eggs for breakfast too!! They both love to help in the kitchen and especially cookie dough!

Janessa has a contest at school. You pick a character out of a book and put it on a pumpkin. So mom used her artistic ability (HA HA) and made Ariel. Janessa just loves it. She wants to keep the pumpkin forever.

Janessa and her pumpkin that she painted. Dad and Mia are being silly! We had more fun painting pumpkins today.
Mia and her painted pumpkin!!! She loves the color red. She even painted the stem red. She called it the sem.

DAD AND HIS GIRLS!

PRE-HALLOWEEN PICS

New outfits for Halloween. We had to try them on and of course mom was there with the camera!

Mia is the cheetah kitty! She says then I can crawl on the floor mom. As she is crawling on the floor the kitty Fuz is right behind her chasing her tail.
Janessa is the cheerleader this year. She says now she can really cheer for the Broncos!



OUR TWO CHEERLEADERS!

Ready for dinner...but who do we find on the table?

Just the kitty Fuz curled up with the pumpkins!

MY TWO SPECIAL GIRLS



Fun With Friends Mari & Matthew 10/18/2008

We had our friends Mari and Matthew come over and play. They had so much fun watching movies, playing outside, and a little junk food!!! What a great day it was!


This monkey is Janessa. She is either hanging or swinging from something, but in this case BOTH!

Mia had a blast. She was happy not to have to wear a coat, but she always has that purse!
Amber of course was out for fun!! Every time the kids would come at her, she would pick up her bone and move. This picture was just pretty with all the leaves and her!!!

JANESSA LOST TOOTH #3

I had a Scentsy candle party this weekend. It was so much fun. It was almost over when Janessa lost her first top tooth. She was happy and then the bleeding. She was gagging and going through paper towels like crazy. We are anxiously awaiting those new teeth!!!!





IT IS CALLED *SNOW* MOM

It started a little on Friday and then Saturday we woke up to white snow. The girls had to play in it while dad chopped wood for a fire!! They had more fun eating it!!
