Anna cracking me up

I love this face, my favorite!

Halloween Night

Tony was so excited to teach the kids how to bob for apples. He showed them by completely going all the way under the water and pushing the apple against the bottom of the bucket to get the apple. It was classic and of course I missed the shot.

Livy the pirate.

Tony had collected all the leaves on our lawn and thrown them away on Saturday. Sunday the girls saw a huge pile of leaves a block away in the gutter. They wanted to bring them to our lawn, every part of me and Tony wanted to say no but we caved. They rode bikes down with garbage bags and brought all these leaves back, making numerous trips. So glad we let them, what fun. Yes the pile is now covered with the first snow.

Claire, Livy, Shay, Anna, Landon and Brennan

Tony helping girls carve pumkins and made candied apples.

Anna and I went to a party at one of her friends house.

Love Anna's costume she thought it up all by herself. She wanted to be dressed up as a little girl, half cute and half dead.

Witch's Tea

This is our 3rd year attending the "Witch's Tea". All the Moms and daughters dress up as witches, such a fun night to spend with my girls.

Lots of dancing!

St. George Trip

This was really a pleasant and relaxing trip. Some of my highlights:

-Holding my new nephew, Crosby
-Watching my girls with their cousins
-Hanging out with Jane
-Sitting at the bottom of my parents bed and talking with them, felt like I was 15 again
-Eating all my Mom's food, why does it taste so good at her house?
-Did I mention holding a new baby!!!
-Getting a hug from Little Lawrence

Jenny Lake, Teton National Park

I love hiking with my family. The girls are getting old enough that we can do some nice hikes now. This hike was 5 miles round trip, the reward was this waterfall. Livy said she didn't like the hike but loved the waterfall.
I feel very lucky to have this family of mine, seems so many of our friends and family are splitting lately. Nice to be able to say that I still love Tony and my marriage, what a happy life I have.

Livy was taking pictures of Anna, Anna loves posing.

Tony and Livy holding hands, awe.

Jackson, Wyoming (Happy bday Tony)

Covered Wagon ride and cookout!
This cowgirl rode up and put her hat on Anna, she was so excited she got to wear it all night.

Girls helping out with entertainment. They played some great country music, the fiddle player was incredible playing "Devil went down to Georgia".

I surprised Tony and the girls this weekend and took them all to Jackson, Wyoming. I wouldn't tell them where we were going for dinner but made the girls put on their cowgirl outfits. Olivia was not impressed. Luckily when we arrived the ladies that work there were all in their cowgirl outfits.

Oh no the Indians are coming.....oh I love a man that can ride a horse.

Some of the cowgirls let Anna and Livy wear their hats.

The Indians were attacking us, riding by on horses. The girls were in heaven.

Tennnis

Anna is having the greatest year ever. Last year she was shy and didn't have many friends and this year she has blossomed. She is on the Student Council, in a couple weeks she does the morning announcements which are broadcast to each classroom. I am so excited for her. She gets more beautiful every day.

It was picture day at school and Olivia was so excited to wear her tie-dye and her half shirt. Gotta love it.

I love going to watch my girls do their sports. They complain before we go but love it once there.
