I gave Kenna some bangs!

I got so tired of Kenna's hair always being in her eyes so I took the scissors and cut her some bangs (I didn't do a very good job I know) They aren't very straight and Kenna was not happy with me so I couldn't fix them. I put a cute little barrette in her hair and I wanted to take a picture of her first hair cut. Well from what you can see from the pictures she was mad at me and didn't want the barrette in her hair. She was very happy once she got the barrette out. Kenna has quite the personality and she brings a lot of excitement to us in our home. She puts a smile on my face everyday that's for sure.

Carving Pumpkins!

We finally carved our pumpkins tonight and it was so much fun. The girls asked why we can't carve pumpkins every night. We had these fun patterns and we tried them out for the first time. It was actually pretty hard to carve all the little corners, but the girls insisted that we try, so I am glad that the pumpkins turned out how they wanted. Katie came over and brought a pumpkin to carve also, she had a blast. I accidentally tore the stem off of Kenna's pumpkin so I tried hot gluing it back on, and it worked until Kenna got a hold of it and it broke again. She was so funny because she thought she pulled it off so she kept trying to put it back on. She was also poking in the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin and laughing so hard, she loved her pumpkin. She was very tired so she went to bed right when we got done with her pumpkin, that's why she isn't in the end pictures. Overall we all had fun and we kept some of the pumpkin seeds to cook tomorrow. Fun Fun night!

Fall family pictures

My sweet friend Kacey took these fall family pictures for us. I love having updated pictures all the time. It seems like my kids grow so fast and I don't take enough pictures at home. I don't want to miss out on anything in my children's lives and pictures are the best way to remember how they were and are. I have been lucky to know such wonderful photographers who take such great pictures. I think this photo session has been the funnest for my kids. The girls played in the leaves and had so much fun together. This was the first time they had ever played in the leaves and they thought it was great. Kacey got some treasured pictures for us, and I am so grateful, thank you Kacey!

I love this saying! Don't we all want to live our lives as prefect as we can so that our children can walk beside us and follow in our example. I think our world today is so sad the way that people live their lives is so destructive to their children and their families. We can all be a little better at being good examples for our children, so they can grow up to be more Christlike people.

Aren't these girls just little treasures? I love them to death!!!

Makenna's Magic Shoes

This little sweetheart of mine grew out of all her size 4 shoes. So I had to bring the box of size 5 shoes up and boy was Makenna in heaven. She absolutely loves shoes, any one's shoes. She wanted to try on all the shoes, and her favorite ones were these fun hello kitty slippers that were Maddy and Kynzee's when they were small. She was so happy when I put these on her little feet she ran around the house like she had magic shoes on. I was laughing so hard, she made me so happy today. I love my sweet little girls, there is no greater happiness!

Maddy and Kynzee loving dance

My little girls love to dance! They love getting all dressed up in their beautiful dance outfits and putting what they call their "magical ballet slippers" on. They are both so girly and I love it. I love to dress them up and do their hair pretty and take them to dance on Mondays. They have improved so much from last year I am amazed. They are more well behaved and they listen to their teacher better, they do exactly what she says . I love watching them. Last year and the year before was hard for me because one of the girls always wanted to sit and not dance or run back to me, and I always got frustrated with taking them. Not this year, they dance so beautiful and I love to take them and watch them, they are doing great. Fun fun girls! I love them both so much and I am so thankful to have them in my life, they are two little treasures.
