October Fun

This month has been a fun and crazy month. It started out by us going to Utah for Conference weekend. Which was a blast. It was so fun to see my family...even if it was a short trip. We appreciate the time we were able to spend with family and enjoyed our adventure. We bought a new van, but now we are going through some red tape to register it up here.
 Then we were able to go to the pumpkin patch a couple of times this month. We went with Janelle and Lois for a time and then we went with Don, Lois, Janelle, Jon and our little family. The girls were excited to go with their daddy. We had a great time at the corn maze, hay pyramids, petting zoo, train rides, pony rides, airplane ride, bounce house, hay ride, hay bail maze and then of course picking out our pumpkins.
Bryan and I surprised the girls by taking them to Disney on Ice. It was so much fun to see them and how happy they were to watch Princess and the Frog, Cinderella and Rapunzel....what a great show!. I am so happy we were able to do this for them. What great memories we created. They had a Cinderella carriage made out of legos for the girls to sit in. That was a great photo moment.
Then it was the Annual Halloween Party. We had a good time going and Claire even won the best kid costume this year. She was so proud of herself.  Here are our costumes for this year...Bryan was a Woopie Cushion. Mia was Sleeping Beauty. I was Waldo or Wanda which ever you want to do and Claire was Belle.
This post was full of pictures, but we had so many great memories to catch we had to take a bunch of pictures.

Sisters

I love how much Claire and Mia enjoy being with each other. I feel very blessed that my two girls love playing with each other and (as of now) they are best friends. This post is dedicated to my girls. This year we took the kids to the fair and rodeo. They both had so much fun. Here are my cowgirls!!
 
A couple of Sundays ago, Janelle (Bryan's sister) brought over her Badminton game and we had a great time as a family playing. She left it up so the next day, the two girls decided they needed to be in costumes to play badminton. They were so cute; of course I couldn't resist taking pictures.
The girls latest favorite movie is Barbie: Princess and the Popstar. Quite often we get to enjoy a concert put on by the "popstars".
The other day after Clarie got home from school, the girls decided they wanted to "make a cake". They were just pretending, but I decided to make it a little bit more fun for them....I gave them a mixing bowl with fruit snacks, marshmallows and fruit nuggets (a different type of fruit snack). Once again I thought they were so cute I had to take a picture.
I love how much these two girls love each other. I am so grateful that these two girls are in my life and so proud to be called their mother!!
