A sneak peak!

Our good friend Andee Mcdonald did my family shots. My parents LOVED our so much so my dad got that for my mom for her birthday. We wanted some fall shots and we were so lucky to have the weather cooperate. It had snowed off and on all day but I seriously think they turned out darling. Thanks again to Andee I seriously can not

say enough nice things about her, we just feel lucky to know her! Check out her blog at andeesphotos.blogspot.com or her website www.andeemcdonaldphotography.com!

My darling parents!

Liddy we a bit freezing and highly uncooperative while the photographer was taking pics...ha ha ha

Little stinker was more concerned with the geese then getting her picture taken (ha ha ha!)

My brother Derek...I am pretty sure this picture will be on the back of one of his books he writes. He is destined to be a famous author for sure.

My brother Tyler...yes ladies he is single so if you have anyone to set him up with let me know (my kids need some cousins ASAP...ha ha ha!)

Our little family

A picture of Chris and I w/o kids...very rare (ha ha ha!)

I love Audrey's face...you can tell she is totally holding in a laugh!

Love the red in the background...so CUTE!!!

Nana and Grandpa LOVE their granddaughters...and they love them too!

My dad made the mistake of running through a bunch of birds while holding Liddy's hand and scared her half to death so we were trying to get her happy again!

Love, Love, Love this photo...the colors couldn't have worked any better!

A fan already

If you are a fan you will completely understand (ha ha ha!)

Halloween 2011

It was another great Halloween. I had the perfect day planned out in my mind, and let's just say it didn't turn out anything like I had imagined. I made soup...no one touched it (I had the left over's the next day and I thought they were pretty dang good if I may say so myself...ha ha ha!) I got caught in traffic driving the babysitter home after dance so I was rushing to get my glowstick luminaries put together...which in turn left my kitchen a DISASTER area, I don't do well with messy. Chris was stuck in traffic as well so I was a bit frazzled trying to get kid's ready and out the door (luckily my parents decided to ditch the 8 trick-or-treater's they would've had in their neighborhood and come with us so they were a HUGE help.) Anyways I had envisioned soup, trick-or-treating, pics of kids in cute skeleton jammie's, kids to sleep and watch a scary movie...ha ha ha and honestly even though it didn't turn out the way I imagined it was still a fun filled night with lot's of tricks and treats!

My mom and dad were good sports to come trick or treating with us in the cold, while Chris stayed back and handed out treats.

Liddy and Peyton...best of friends!

Grandpa was on car duty with Audrey...she was freezing by the end of the night but didn't even say boo, she loved every second she got in that little red car (ha ha ha!)

Nana and the girls!

Disclaimer* Yes Chris and I are adults, do we always act like it (NO...ha ha ha!)

Chris has had this plan for almost a year to play a prank on a bunch of our neighbor's...hence goblin boy. We placed him on our neighbor's doorsteps after 8:30 and to say that it was a bit creepy would be an understatement. We had a lot of really funny reactions, from throwing the dummy, to throwing candy at the dummy to giving the dummy choices of candy and asking if it was ok. Overall it was one of the funniest nights I have had in a LONG time. We will have to plan a new trick for next year...don't worry we are that immature (Ha ha ha!)

You have to admit if this was on your doorstep not moving a muscle you would be a bit nervous!

Kid's Halloween Party!

Our cute neighbor's up the street hosted a FABULOUS family halloween party. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to make, but boy am I SO glad we did. They went ALL OUT. The kids had yummy pizza, then played outside for a bit. Afterwards the kids decorated cookies, made spooky puppets, and went through their spook alley in the basement where the kids got to find friends like Dora, Belle, Buzz and many more. It was SO much fun, we were so glad we were able to make it!

P.S. My visiting teacher's husband does a charity where if you donate canned food he takes your kids Halloween pics for free...such a great idea! Anyways the girls were still happy after the party so we headed straight there and I will say he did a great job and was DARLING with my girls!

I didn't get a lot of pics, but honestly if I had left Audrey in this swing I am pretty sure she would have been content til next week (ha ha ha!)
