Tooth Fairy visits Payton

Payton lost her fist tooth on 11/10/12!

On Friday night she showed us it was loose.... barely loose mind you. Then all night she said she wiggled and wiggled it. It was pretty loose at that point. We went to Costco Saturday afternoon and she got a churro. She bit into it and it must have hurt pretty bad. When we got home Justin put some Oragel on it to help with the pain. I look over and she was pulling the darn thing out!!!

She was SO HAPPY that she pulled her first tooth out, and that now the Tooth Fairy could come:)

The tooth Fairy was VERY GENEROUS for Payton's first tooth and she got a $5.

I LOVE THIS FACE!!

Halloween 2012!

HaLlOwEeN 2012

Before getting ready and heading out the girls had received a package from my Mom and John for Halloween so they wanted to open it. It was so cute! They each got a treat bag, a picture of Gram & Papa, a balloon, and a flash light! It was perfect. They each have their picture in their room, and they wore the flash light all night trick or treating!

THANK YOU MOM!!

 

 Witch #1 getting ready :)

 

 Little Witch #2

Littlest Witch #3

 

My girls all had poses of their own to show!

 

We went Trick-Or-Treating for about an hour and a half. It was AWESOME! It felt like when we were kids and the neighborhood was covered with kids. People sat outside or at their doors because when one family left another was right behind. The weather was so great, half the time we didn't have coats on. Our first Halloween in Colorado was a success!

After we went to our Friends the Richardson's and the girls went through their loot!

WE HAVE CANDY FOR MONTHS!!!

Par-tay's!!

Kennedy's Pre-school Halloween party was at our house. I had SO Much Fun doing this!

I taught preschool earlier that day, then all the moms and siblings came over for the PAR-TAY!

We had a TON of food and they kids had fun in their costumes running around and eating

 in-between!

 

 These are 2 of my friends/school moms/ AWESOME people!!

Tammy, Me, Lori

 Now, these are the Owl cupcakes I made for the Halloween parties.

They were a HIT!!

 

Later that same day we had Payton's school Party.

I lover her teacher, she is so great!

Here are some of her friends.

The girls had fun watching and just being at school with Sis :)

After school it was Home to get ready for some Trick or Treating... it was a LONG fun day!!

Pumpkins!

Pumpkin carving 2012!

This year we had a whole night of pumpkins! We ordered a "pumpkin" pizza for dinner from Papa Murphy's. The girls thought it was really cool. Then they each had a pumpkin to carve or paint, their choice. And we ended with Pumpkin Pie!

 

These 2 wanted to paint... good choice :)

Payton wanted to carve a Hello Kitty pumpkin.

We got a design online and it turned out pretty close.

 

I Love spending the day with these 4.

We listened to spooky music and had a great time!!

Trunk-Or-Treat

Our ward had a FABULOUS Trunk-Or-Treat this year!

They do such a great job with 12 different rooms with games, spook alleys, pictures, etc. It is so much fun. They have dinner, games, root beer floats, then off to the parking lot to trunk or treat till the candy is gone.

They got a TON!

and it was SO cold.....

 

My little Witches ready to go!

 

 

 

 

FUN!!

We love this ward, and had so much fun doing our first Trunk-Or-Treat!~

while in Utah.....

While we were in Utah for Grandmas funeral we were able to have some fun!

We went up to Wasatch where Troy and Tammi were camping and had a GREAT time.

It made us REALLY miss camping with the family. I love to watch my kids play for hours on end with their cousins..... which they did:)

 

 

 Just a few cute pictures of my girls and their cousins.

 

I LOVE these.

We played in Grandma Gloria and Gramps leaves.

 They have a TON!

 

Before heading home we said Goodbye to Gram and Papa Taylor.

They got a new piano and the girls loved it!

 

Loven' this one!

 

This goodbye was harder than our last one. We have always had a return date planned before we go, this time i knew we didn't. And the holidays are coming, which this year will be our first alone.

 I miss our families so much!!

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Grandma Twyla

GRANDMA TWYLA ANDERSON

While we were in Disneyland this past October Justin's last living Grandma passed away.

It was definitely a bitter sweet day. Grandma had been in a lot of pain lately and it was her time to go.

It's never easy letting go, but having the knowledge that we will be together again one day makes it a bit easier to take. We are glad that she is finally back with her Love. I can not imagine living without my other half for over 25 years.

WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!

 Justin's dad has one sister and she also has 2 boys. All grandsons:)

So they were the pallbearers.

 This was a sweet moment for me to catch.

 It's rare to see, but it warms my heart every time!

 It's was and wasn't easy to explain to our girls where Grandma is now. They are all on such different levels of understanding right now. This is also the first funeral they have been to. It was sweet to see them comfort us, usually it is the other way around.

 Justin's parents.

We love our Grandma Gloria and Gramps!

 The lighting was not the best.... I really do want a new camera!

But this is our latest family pic.

 The girls were EXHAUSTED after the funeral.

Because we were in California we didn't quite have the right attire for a funeral. Luckily we have awesome family that lent us their Girls clothes. Thank you T & T!!



Disneyland 2012

Disneyland

10/11-10/16 2012!

We had a fantabulous time on this vacation! It was a LOT of driving... 8 hrs to Utah then 9 1/2 hrs to California. And back again after 4 days in DISNEY! Our girls are so great in the car, i think it was harder for me than them!

We saw a TON of our favorite characters. The girls were all in love :)

 

 

I think we went on Ariel's ride over 20 times.

 It's definitely a favorite princess and ride!

 

 We went to Goofy's Kitchen for dinner on Monday night. It was AWESOME! The girls were all starving and on their best behaviors:)

 It's great to just eat and the characters all come to you! LOVE!!

 

 These are a few random pictures of plain CUTENESS!

These girls were troopers going from when the park opened till it closed each day!

How else do you do DISNEY??

 And a few Princesses of course!

 Payton is tall enough for every ride this trip and her favorite was ....

CALIFORNIA SCREAMIN!

Yes she is a thrill seeker.... LOVE IT!!!

Well Disneyland is one of our favorite places to be and sadly we are a bit too far away now to go as often as before. Until next time.....
