jammies

Nothing better than my clean little kiddies dressed up in cute matching halloween jammies. I found these little jammies on sale and thought oh my kids would love these, especially because they glow in the dark . They have been obssessed with anything that glows in the dark lately. They love to lay in bed at night and look at their glow in the dark planets and stars on their ceiling. Carter was saying he wanted a new glow in the dark shirt for bed time, So when I saw these I was a little excited, and so were the boys! After we tucked them in bed and left the room, carter got down off the top bunk and laid with Sawyer on the bottom bunk so they could look at their shirts together in the dark and talk about them. So fun for them. Happy Halloween!

friends

Carter & Ella have a cute little friendship. They love being with eachother and for the most part play great with eachother. It is so fun cause Ella lives just around the corner, plus she goes to preschool with carter, and she is in our ward. We have been having weekly play dates. Ella & her mom, and Carter & I will walk down the street and meet up with Ella half way in between our houses. Ella will come play at our house, or carter will go to theirs. During this little play date we did halloween face painting. I tried my best.(: The two buds are so good about letting little Sawyer play with them. Its a good thing cause Sawyer is SMITTEN by Ella! He can't get enough of her. He is so happy when he is around her and all giddy. Just look at him in the pics below and you can tell how much he loves her. He's all smiles! (: What cute little friends!

Happy 23rd Soster Brown 10.12.09

Happy Birthday to my amazing, fun, loving, talented, faithful, dedicated, hard working sister, Lauren, aka: Soster Brown! Soster Brown just turned 23 on monday (10.12)! She is only 2 months away from coming home from serving an amazing Mission in Copenhagen, Denmark! She has served so faithfully and has loved every second of her mission. She is such an example to me, I love reading her weekly letters and hearing all about her experiences as a missionary. I miss my younger sister so much, and am counting down the days till she comes home.
Love you tons Lauren, I am so glad you had a special birthday! You are an amazing Missionary!

We love LoLo...Soster Brown!

Bates Nut Farm

We have made it a family tradition to go to Bates Nut Farm for the past 3 years! It is the best pumpkin patch around. It gets you right in the mood for the Fall holidays. This is a real pumpkin farm with added yummy food, fun kid activities, cute retail booths, animals, etc. We had tons of fun going with some friends, and just enjoying the start of this fall season.

Visit from Grammy

My mom (Grammy), came to visit a couple weeks ago. We love when we get a visit from Grammy. The boys loved playing with her and definitely kept her on her feet. THanks for being such a sweet Grammy and treating us so good. We loved having you!
