Halloween Tattoo

Marley got a little Halloween tattoo from somewhere & insisted that I put it on her!  She loves wearing her Little Bo Peep costume around as well!

Bikes in the park

We took the girls to the park to ride there bikes because our house is on a narrower, busier street with no sidewalks.  I wish we could teach Marley how to ride a bike without training wheels, but we don't get to the park nearly enough with the bikes.  It's cute to see them try and bike around!

The Great Pumpkin

I don't know why, but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  Maybe it's because nothing is really expected of you. You don't have to worry about finding gifts for other people or having some elaborate family meal, but there are still so many fun activities and things to do during this time of year.  I love carving pumpkins, so we helped Marley carve one this year.

Halloween Party with the North's

We went to community Halloween carnival in Provo with the North's.  It was really crowded, but really fun.  They had so many fun activities for kids Marley's age: a magician, a Peter Pan walk-through house, "fishing", and a little station making these owl magnets.  So fun! Again, I didn't do the best on taking photos.  I got Justin (dressed up as an ape) and Kevin. Then Kinley after she fell in the mud and ruined her cute little Strawberry Shortcake costume.

As you can see from the pictures below, Marley, Kinley and Sadie all really LOVE to smile for the camera...




Little Bo Peep & her Lamb

Marley wanted to be Little Bo Peep for Halloween, so, of course, by default, Grace was a sheep.  Initially, Grace seemed alright with having to wear the lamb outfit, but after a short period of time, she decided that wearing the outfit wasn't something she was interested in.











Marley's birthday drawings for me

For my 33rd birthday, Marley made me some lovely birthday pictures!  She's always drawing or making cards for everyone & I love that she thought of me! She's such a wonderful daughter!

Lounging on the Bed

I love when I find Grace somewhere, like on the couch, chair, or bed, & she's just snuggling down, lounging around!! This time I found her on my bed, just hanging out!

Slack Jaw & Hair

It's Grace's turn for crazy bed-head hair (it's weird that bed-head hair is possible with Grace, seeing as she has so little hair!)  Then, of course, she just stares at the camera with her mouth hanging open. But I find her adorable anyway!

Discovery gateway

Marley and Grace love Discovery Gateway children's museum.  I love the picture of Grace in that adorable dress!
