halloween

the littles had a great time trick or treating this year.  it was a little colder than it had been in Halloweens past but still a beautiful night considering.  levi actually made it the whole time we were out.  what a little trooper.

mommas lil sweets.

momma's lil stinker.

i could totally eat this lil stinker right up with a spoon!

ella helped mommy out and pulled levi most of the night.

and uncle jeff helped momma out by pushing my 6-year old in a baby buggy! this reminds me of the scene in the grinch (Jim carey version) when the grinch stole that tiny car and drove off through whoville.

levi starting to figure out what halloween is all about.

and then throwing a fit after momma told him no
more candy.

what a fun night.

Neverending birthdays

The girls had their first "friend party" this year.  we usually just do a family party but now that the girls are  becoming little social butterflies i figured it was time to bite the bullet and allow them to have a little girly party.  the girls invited 20 of their sweet little girlfriends and all 20 came. :)  we had it at the bounce house which was so much fun.  everyone had a great time and mommy enjoyed seeing her girlies have fun.  

being silly.

wow.  that's a lot of little girls!

time for presents.

Ella was so determined to read every card word for word. 

 so sweet.

so cute!

and then right after the group shot they scattered like ants and took advantage of every last second they had.

i love that sophie and ella have the same group of friends. i love that they have fun with each other.  i love that they have each other.  i can't imagine either one without the other!

fall days

just some pics of my littles enjoying the beautiful fall weather.

Disclaimer:  these pictures were taken after church not during "play time".  this momma is way too high strung to let her littles play in matilda jane.  i know many mommas do but i am so not one of those mommas. :)

peek a boo.

hanging out being cute.

get set. ready.

throw.

levi joining in on the fun.

Big day for sophie

my little sophie lost her first tooth today on our way to family fun night at our church. 

i can't believe it. 

I actually got a little emotional.

I can't believe my baby is old enough to lose her teeth.

wow.  they are growing up way to quick. 

Apple picking...

We had a great time apple picking on our day off from work and school.  it was a gorgeous day and we got to spend it together as a family. does not get much better than that.

 

levi was so excited when he realized

he could eat these yummy "balls" as he calls them.

this is pretty how much how he looked for the next hour

what a cutie.

seriously.  I would rather eat him that that apple.  oh he is just so cute.
