The circus is in town

We recently had the opportunity to go to the circus. We all had such a great time. Here are a few pictures of some of our favorite parts at the circus.

Pumpkin Walk

There is an annual event at the girls' school called the pumpkin walk. It is such a fun tradition where each class decorates pumpkins according to a theme based on positive character traits.

McKayla's theme this year was: I am 'grapeful' for_____. Her class decorated their pumpkins like a bunch of purple grapes. She filled in the information with, I am 'grapeful' for my family because they love me.

Kamryn's theme was: Friendship is so easy a caveman can do it. Her class decorated their pumpkins like cavemen. On hers she wrote, "I'm a friend when I include someone in a game"

My little lady

I have this tradition with my girls that when they turn 3 they get to get their ears pierced. We have been telling Morgan since her birthday in July that we would go get her some earrings. The day finally came and we took her to get some. She was so excited, (she had no idea how those cute little earrings were getting into her ears). She picked out the most adorable little pink flower earrings and sat in the chair like such a big girl.


Then.......wait, what are they doing?

Ouch! That hurt!!
Hold on, I think I have earrings
So that is how they get in my ears. I love them!


Editors note: No tears were shed in the ear piercing process.

Happy Birthday Kamryn!

Kamryn recently celebrated her 10th birthday. Can you believe she is 10 already? She wanted to take her friends to this new facility called Jump on It. It has over 9000 sq. ft. of jumping space. There are trampolines that are connected so you can jump from one to another. They cover most of the area. And are so much fun to play on.

Then they have a few inflatables on the side to play on also. There are other things like velcro walls, etc. but we didn't venture into them.

The girls had a ball and were totally worn out by the time the party was over.

I'm sure everyone slept really well that night my kids sure did!

Kamryn had a great time at her party. Happy birthday Kam!!!

Little miss Mo

Morgan just cracks me up sometimes. There have been several times at night when I go to check on her and can't tell which is the back of her head and which is her face. When I go to move her hair off her face I find out it is actually the back of her head! All of that hair just goes everywhere.

This was one of those nights.
