Halloween Carnival!

We took the girls to a carnival that Aarons school put together and Emma and Chloe stole the hearts of the judges and won the costume contest!


I have never been on a hay ride and always wanted to go. It was lots of fun!
Chloe loves pumpkins and they had a field full of them. We let the girls go and pick out what ones they wanted and when Chloe spotted the biggest one there she was ecsatic!

Then she had to show it she loved it by giving the pumpkin a kiss.
And then she thought she could just pick it up and take it home with us. What a cutie!
Our niece had a halloween birthday party and we dressed up. Aaron is just scary and I am the Angel of Darkness. I got to wear these huge eyelashes, they were awesome, and I am seriously considering dying my hair black! What do you think?

Talent Show!

Aaron and his sister Cheree and her husband Michael have been playing together in a band for a few years now. They played for our ward talent show and had a blast and when we found out that our city was having a talent show we sent in a tape with some of our music. They loved it and asked us to go first and play a couple of songs. Aaron got to do a drum solo and did awesome! They are going to call us with the results to let us know if we won and if we did we will advance to the next stage of the competition. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

Halloween craft with the girls

I got this cute idea from a friend of mine in our ward. It was easy and the girls had so much fun dipping their hands and feet in the paint.


Chloe didn't like getting all messy with the paint, but she thought it was interesting to pick it off of Emma's feet.


And here is the finished product, now their feet and palm prints are frozen in time.

Our New Blog!

Everybody has been telling us we should set up a blog, so here it is and we hope y'all enjoy it. We are excited for the holiday season, but we had a great summer here in Texas. Last weekend we took the girls to the Texas State Fair here in Dallas and it was awesome! The Texas fair is ranked number one in the U.S. and it is no wonder, it is huge! You can easily spend a whole day there and not get bored. Emma loved playing the fair games and she adores the puppy she won, she takes it everywhere with her.

Emma and her cousin Myree made this whale ride look like so much fun I wish I had gone on it.

Chloe got to go on a ride and it was hilarious to watch, she was the only kid not freakin' out and crying, she loved every minute of it! That's our lil' dare devil!
