Pictures with Grandma

My parents came out for Thanksgiving. How nice of them to drive 15 hours to see us! Anyway- my mom wanted some pictures with her favorite grandbabies! These are a few of my favorites.

Grateful

I love my Claire -bear. She makes me smile, even when I am crabby. I can't help but be in a better mood when she flashes me one of her grins! What a sweet pea!

Gotta Love

Nakey Babies after Bath Time!

Emmas baby Shower

Lanettes husband Shaun crocheted those cute little hats!

Liv's favorite part of the whole shower- getting to keep the balloons after!

We had Em's baby shower this last Saturday. A huge snow storm blew in that day, after a few weeks of BEAUTIFUL weather. The party turned out good. I am not the best party thrower- my parties aren't very lively. Hmm, I will need to work on that!

Pre-School

Olivia is loving her pre-school. The kids get along pretty well. They love to play games together, and on this occasion we made popcorn for snack time. Who knew kids would just LOVE plain popcorn with just a pinch of salt? They thought it was so exciting and fun to watch it pop. Yesterday we went on a field trip to the Bean Museum at BYU. They have lots of dead stuffed animals. Lovely, ey? Our favorite part was when we got to see a LIVE turtle and snake. Okay- so not the snake, but the turtles were cute!

Go Cougars!

We went to our first basketball game of the season. With both girls! They actually did pretty great. If only Liv could get over her fear of different pottys then we'd be set!

Claires Twin

This is one of our neighbors Gretchen- I think she looks so much like Claire! She is about 5-6 months older, but she still looks so similar!

Winner!

Olivia colored a turkey for a contest. No- she is not a winner... Because the people you are supposed to turn it into didn't want it! The young teenagers at Hogi Yogi were unaware that they were supposed to take it when we brought it in. Instead they gave Liv a free cookie and said we could keep the drawing. We wanted to win! How will we win if she can't turn it in!? Oh-well- maybe we will get it into another Hogi Yogi that knows what they are doing!

Yes- she colored it all by herself! Pretty good if you ask me!

Bath Time in the Sink

Typical

"OLIVIA! PUT YOUR SISTER DOWN!"

Happy Halloween!

Toto and Dorothy

We had a great Halloween! The weather was perfect! Just the day before it was snowing/raining so we got so lucky that it was warm! Liv got to go trick-or treating and loved it (for about 1/2 hour) After that Emma and Francisco came over we had dinner, made caramel apples and watched 'The Forgotten' It was a fun evening!
