Megan turned 3!!!!

We've had every party for the kiddos at our house, but this year decided to do Pump it Up for Meggie for 2 reasons. First, Meggie loves the bouncies and anything adventurous. She's going to be skydiving by age 5. Secondly, her birthday is so close to Thanksgiving we knew we would be exhausted. It turned out pretty good and even some of the adults joined in on the slides. Her cousins were in town and she was thrilled. Also, one of her best buds from her old school came to the party. She hadn't seen him in about a year and they were so cute together. A little shy at first but then it was Meg and Carson together at last. She just adores him and I'm so glad he came! :)In this one picture, you can see how she was leading him around... too cute!

Thanksgiving 07

We had a real nice Thanksgiving. My cousin Jamie chased the girls around the house and that is always a big treat for them. That's the first thing they said they wanted when they heard Jamie & David were coming over! Thanks Jamie for wearing them out. They slept really well. Oh, and Jamie made the best Turkey I've had yet.... fried of course. :) As you can see, Emm and McKenna ate too much!

Dan turned 43!

Did I really marry someone that old? He! I always give him a hard time about that, but honestly, he acts like he's 23. :) I tried to take him out or do something special for him, but he said all he needs is what he already has: his home and his family. awww.... how sweet. He said he wanted to stay home, have a steak and smoke a cigar. So, that's what he did on the eve before his bday. And, he even picked up and cooked his own meal! I got out like a champ on that one! Here are pics of his actual birthday on the 21st. Jason and his girls Madi and Mckenna came in town for the weekend. Mamo bought Mexican food and we had a nice time.

Happy Birthday Dan - We Love You!

The Hanna Wig

This one is for Kara & Lynn - thank you for the Wig! As you can see by my Hanna Wanna Be's/Rockstars.... they love the trashy/frizzy style! Hmmmmm...... must get that from their father!

Halloween

This year Claire was Sleeping Beauty, Megan was Cinderella and Emm was a Fairy. Oh, and Mamma was Tinkerbell. The reason I dressed up this year (as I never have before), is because Claire frantically woke me up at 6:15am one morning a few weeks before the big day. She jumped onto my bed, woke me up and said "Mamma, we don't have a costume big enough for you... what are we going to do?" She was truly stressed out about the whole situation. At that moment, I knew I would be dressing up with them for years to come. They chose the outfit - I would have preferred to dress in some black/witch costume, but they wouldn't go for it. So, Tinkerbell I was! It was our first time trick or treating and they couldn't believe every house had candy for them. Emm did so well, she would not put down her bag of candy and carried it the whole way! She did have a big problem with the homes that tried to distribute the candy sparingly. They would try to hand it to her and she did not like that a bit. She wanted to grab herself. So, she finally decided to take the candy they handed her but to also sneak her hand in for some more! Needless to say, she got twice as much as her sisters :)
