Happy Halloween!!

This was the best Halloween I can remember. I don't know how much the girls really understood but they know what candy means so they were excited!!! We went to the Wood's neighborhood party (where do we spend most of our holidays?!) and had a blast. Grandpa even joined us & we had so much fun watching them. Sara couldn't get to each door fast enough & the second after Siena would get her candy, she'd say "I want to go to nother house." It was hilarious. What a special night experiencing it through their eyes.

BFF's (The funny thing is that this costume was $22 when I bought it & I saw it went on sale so I returned the 1st one & bought it again for $4!!!)

Our Happy Family

Siena trying to figure out how she can get the entire bowl. hee hee

Papa & Sara probably taking more than the sign says

The girls with the Wood boys. (Of course Ty is looking at "Banana". So cute.)

This is so typical. Sara lining everything up.....

...and Siena dumping it all out (How cute & excited is she?)

Finally Fall

We've had the oddest weather than I can remember. It was the coolest summer we've had & even tho it was 110 degrees 2 weeks ago, it has now been chilly & raining for almost a week. I LOVE the summer but I also love it chilly, wearing jeans, sweaters & scarves. It's also been fun dressing the girls up. (When isn't it?!) They're talking soooo much more in the past month & it's been so fun. Some of it I can't understand and most of it, Jeff can't. I have to translate when I see the look of confusion on his face. My favorite line so far was from Siena last week. She said "Mommy, I go watch Buzz & Woody. You go make my dinner." Lol I couldn't help but crack up. And I thought Sara was Miss Bossy Britches!!

We've also been having so much fun at the Pumpkin Patch. Siena's obsessed & talks about it all the time. And they got to ride ponies for the 1st time. I thought they'd be scared but they both loved it!!

Siena looking Oh So Happy

That Dimple makes me smile just thinking about it

Hush Little Baby

The girls always ask me to sing "Hush Little Baby" to them & they recently started to help me. A little. haha Here's the video. So cute. (Although they were a little more interested in their grapes.)

Kristin Maria/Siena Maria

I think I'm in trouble with this one. She seems WAY too much like me. She barely sits still, which my Mom says I was exactly the same way. She gives me an attitude already, which I don't need to bother asking my Mom about that. I KNOW I used to give her one. (For the 1,000,000th time, I'm sorry Mom!) But she's also sweet and silly, which I hear I was too. Mom showed me this picture of me recently & it sooooo reminded me of Siena, so I had to take one of her as well. Here they are. Kinda cute, huh?

May/June Pics

Since I haven't blogged in almost 4 MONTHS, I thought I'd at least post my favorite pics from this crazy, busy, fun, blessed summer. (Better than nothin, right?)

In Cabo celebrating our 40th birthdays. We've all been friends a minimum of 28 years. (Wow. If that doesn't make me feel old....)
