One more...

Mom asked where the picture of Ella standing up in her Cinderella dress was, I had taken it with my phone, so here it is...

Haunted gingerbread house

We finally made the haunted gingerbread house dad bought for the kids. It was actually nice to do it after Halloween because we had all kinds of extra candy to put on it. They had a blast :) and are having even more fun eating off of it every day (which I think is sooo gross to eat the candy that has been sitting out for days, but I did it when I was little, and it didn't kill me!)

Ella didn't want to get her shirt dirty so she took it off (that girl hates a mess!)

It's fire time!

It is finally cold enough for a fire, I thought the summer would never end!








I'm so sad this picture turned out blurry, it's sooo cute of both of them :(


Haha, Lyla's face cracks me up in this one

CinderELLA

Ella wanted to try on her Cinderella costume to make sure "it fits good" for her princess party we are having on Saturday. I love that sweet little CinderELLA :)

Lyla Girl

That is what Ella calls her, it's super cute. When Lyla wake sup from a nap, Ella goes running in there and says "hey Lyla girl, did you wake up from your nap Lyla girl". She LOVES her Lyla girl :)

Silly girls


"what's up Ella?"


She wants to sit soooo bad


She does pretty good


Ella was teaching Lyla all about dominos


I think she was very excited it was finally cold enough for a hat :)


Yummy fingers


I love that face :)


"well hello foot"


"oh my, you are tasty"


"look at all the hair I have been working on growing"


"hi mommy"

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween! Dad came over and we finally carved the kids pumpkins (or should I say Dad finally carved the pumpkins) and then we went trick-or-treating and got enough candy (and we only hit maybe 1/3 of the neighborhood) to last them until next year. The boys were running the whole time and were about 10 houses ahead of Ella. She was so excited, she said "tick-o-teat" and "tank you" at every house, then would run back to the wagon and say "they gave me MORE treats, let's go to a couple more houses". We had to empty her bag twice because it was too heavy for her to carry. After we were done we came back to the house for a yummy birthday steak dinner for dad. It was a great weekend!





This was Ella's face when she looked at the first bit of "pumpkin guts" that grandaddy took out


You know he is working hard when that tongue comes out ;)


Ella did not like Jaxon's pattern he picked out, she didn't like that he looked "mean"








Ella coloring her baby pumpkins


Cade's....



Jaxy's is the big one, Ella's is the small, happy one :)


This is the best one out of about 20....Ella had decided at that point she was done taking pictures


Some of the neighborhood kids


Baseball and football stars





Cade loves this pictures, he said it is 3D


I told him to pose like a football player.....he's so tough ;) and I promise you, there are kids on Cade's team (8-10 year olds) who STILL, after a whole season, can not figure out how to get in that position


Pretty little "nice" witch





This face just absolutely cracks me up!!!





She looks soooo old in this one :(


Cutest baby kitty I've ever seen (the big puzzle piece she is standing on was just inside by the front door and I needed something she could stand on so her tights wouldn't get dirty, so I just grabbed it...I should have looked for a blanket, because it looks pretty stupid!)














There is a cool haunted house down the street the kid get to go through, they look forward to it every year


I think this was before we added Ella's candy to the pile
