{Hallie 18 months: Picture taken on her first day of nursery}

The other day this little girl ran to me and said "boo boo" meaning "poo poo" as she lifted up her shirt. I quickly walked with her to the bathroom, removed her diaper, and placed her chubby little bum on the toilet seat. Then she pooped.

This could be the start of something good!

.:Fall Family Pictures:.

You're my happily ever after, you're my wish come true

.:Ruffle Wreath:.

I loved making these wreaths!

A little time consuming (cutting out 300+ circles of felt for each wreath)

but totally worth it!

"Murder on Misty Island"

A few weeks ago we got together with the couples in Jeff's Family and had a Murder Mystery Dinner.

I was a glitzy actress. And Jeff was a Hollywood script writer.

Here is Lynsi, the "former housemother" and owner of the estate on Misty Island, and Brandon was a sailor.

Elise is a housewife/soccer mom. Also the murderer! And Chris is a computer genius/nerd.

Cam was a Businessman on vacation and Alexa was a neurosurgeon.

It was such a fun night to get together with everyone for dinner & play very entertaining game

.:Seven Years:.

Jeff and I celebrated our seventh anniversary on November 12th.

We've been through a lot together

Happiness & Struggles

Ups & Downs

Laughter & Tears

The blessing of becoming parents to our two precious girls

Loving eachother through it all

I still wonder how I got so lucky...

And if I could choose again, I would still choose him.

.:H&M:.

Yes, we ventured out to H&M on the opening day... At first I was planning on finding someone to watch the girls, because I could assume how hectic it was going to be. They ended up coming with us, and actually didn't do too bad until the end. It was nap time!

So excited to have an so H&M close! Love my shopping buddies too.

We got there around 1pm, waited in line for about an hour but it didn't seem like that long at all. Got in about 2 and done by 3. Fun and exhausting!

.:Tea Party:.

We always love having cousins over to play! Kinley and Bryn play so well together.

The other day we decided to have a "Tea Party"

The girls loved it!

.:A Few Cute Things:.

Such a little diva

all dressed up for church

I think they look SO cute in glasses.

Bryn's new favorite restaurant - Pizza Pie Cafe

Cruising along at the grocery store

.:My Little Kitty's:.

The other morning the girls woke up and were playing so quietly. While I was getting some things done, actually I was still laying in bed, haha. I thought I would let them play a little longer before interrupting them. Little did I know, they were pretending to be "Kitty Cats" as Brynlie said.

.:Halloween:.

For Halloween this year Hallie dressed up as a Peacock and Brynlie was Rapunzel

Our little photo shoot

SO silly

Here is Hallie mid-tantrum. She was DONE taking pictures

And here she is a few minutes later

We went around Trick or Treating at Jeff's work, then to my parents house for a bit. After that we headed to Pearson's to celebrate Randy's birthday.

Then off for more trick or treating! Brynlie would politely take one piece, then Hallie would reach her little hand and reach farther in the bowl and would pull out as many pieces as she could. Then she would yell "DANK DOO" (Thank you) Her bag was probably twice as heavy as Brynlie's. Little stinker.

Oh and she would not let us pick her up to carry her. She wanted to walk like the big kids. Although her bag was heavy and dragging, she held on to it as tightly as she possibly could.

And here is her cheese face again. Love the gap between her teeth!
