Happy 3rd Birthday Reese

Reese wanted a princess party, but she doesn't care about princesses. That is very like Reese. She doesn't really want things yet, so when I asked her what she wants for her birthday she told me candy. So, I put as much candy on her cake as I could, and along with her gift from us we gave her 2 packs of her own gum. Gum is her favorite thing in the world right now. 

Reese invited 8 friends to her party, and they had a tea party, made pretty necklaces, decorated cupcakes, and played. It was a very fun party, and Reese's 1st friend party. We love you Reese!!

CLIMBER

I haven't had a climber yet, but sure looks like Brynn is going to be my climber. She hangs out on the bottom step most of the time, or if anyone is on the ground she prefers climbing on or over that person. 

TWILIGHT OPENING NIGHT!!!

Yeah for Twilight!! I love these books, so I was really excited to go to the opening night of Twilight. What was even more fun was going all out for it. We got to the movie theater 6 hours early, oh yeah baby! That's getting there at 6:00 p.m. for a 12:05 a.m. movie!! There were actually 5 of us...jenny came later, and we had so much fun having a girls night. So I was planning on getting a shirt to wear to the movie for months in advance, and then a few days before I started waffling, but I am so happy I did because then Karen and Trisa went and bought some also. We ordered take out, and roamed the mall a little bit, and played games, and ate snacks...I loved it. Did I love the actual movie??? WELL...Love, no. Like, yes. I am a pretty big Twilight nerd, so I was REALLY hoping they would stick to the book hard core, and of coarse it didn't, and after the movie was done I was thinking, no seriously there could be another hour and a half and I don't think I would have noticed. But, it was fun, and I since I was expecting it to be horrible it was way better than what I was expecting. Yeah  for Twilight, and this super fun night!                                          Here's Julie pretend making out with Edward.
Oh Edward. Ha Ha ha. Surprisingly I thought he was way better looking than I originally thought. 
We had to book it out of the store after the store clerk told us we weren't allowed to take pictures inside their store. We thought she was going to call mall security on us!
                                      It was so fun to just be dumb, and have fun with this!


                                          Middle, Middle. Right where we wanted to be!
     Great picture of karen, not so great of me, but this reminds me of our Maui pics, so had to add it.

Abbi's New Hair

This was her first time getting her hair done professionally. Abbi is funny because she is very stubborn in some areas, and easily swayed in others. Her hair is something that she is very stubborn about. A headband is her idea of doing her hair, so when she wanted to get bangs like mine, and layers, like mine, I was unsure how that would end up looking on a regular basis. BUT...she promised that she would let me do her hair All the time, I love promises from 5 year olds. The really cute part was after the hair cute she turns to my friend Lynsey and says, "Okay, are you going to put highlights in now, I think I want it a little lighter like my moms." I love your new hair Abbi!

Artsy

The girls are really into coloring, and painting, and doing art projects. This was a cute picture Abbi made for Andy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

      Reese really was happy today even though she looks pretty mad right here. Abbi was a super cute Hannah Montana. Reese was a dog, and Brynn was a kitty. We had almost NO trick or treaters...that's what we get for livin' in the boonies! Oh and notice the deflated pumpkins in the back, so sad for them:(
                                              
                                     This cat costume cracked me up! I love the round belly.

Crazy Hair Day

                                           Reese's very first pony tail, and she's almost 3.
 This month is red ribbon month, and this week was "it's crazy to do drugs" week. Today was crazy hair day, and I loved her hair after it was done. With a few tweeks I might actually send her to school normally like this.

Too Early

So we were so good and we went to a pumpkin patch early this year. Reese was hesitant to put her hands into the mushy guts, but eventually she daintily pulled out a few. Abbi loves pulling out the guts. ...Okay, here's the sad thing about carving pumpkins 11 days early... saggy, floppy, shriveled pumpkins on Halloween. But look how pretty they were when they started!
