Pumpkin Carving Time

Now that we had are pumpkins it was time to let the creative juices flow and get carving! We really thought Abby would love carving her pumpkin this year, but we were wrong again... maybe next year. Needless to say Levi and I had a great time, and Abby enjoyed the pictures and eating treats!! It is so much fun to have a little family to share all these fun traditions with!

Halloween Party

Here is a picture of each of the couples and families that came to our little party. What good sports!! From left to right: Peterson's (nerds, princess and chicken), Mackey's ( each other mom is baby, baby is dad, dad is mom), Jaussi's (rocky and opponent), Lemon's (disco skaters, and fairy), North's (beggars), Dixon's( home made superhero's), North's(Kipp and black cat), Arnold's(Greek goddess and sumo wrestler), Glazier's (white trash), Shay's crew (Anchor Man San Diego News Team), Dobb's (Mexicans), Adams (80's Butt Rockers). We had a great time bobbing for apples, donut eating contest, fishing pond for the kids and just visiting.

Halloween Party

Here is our beautiful Princess Bell!! Abby was so excited to dress up she couldn't wait. She has been wearing her dress around the house every day for the last week!!

Our little bitty Ballerina! Isn't she darling. I have to say that I am really proud of this costume because it was hand made by me! Well at least the tutu and the little leg warmers.

And here is the fam, Yes we are 80's butt rockers. Who knew that we could have such cute baby girls and be so scary looking ourselves!!

We won the best couple costume!! I know what your thinking we were in charge of the party so the vote was probably rigged, but I can assure you it wasn't. It was a really close vote between a bunch of different couples. You can take a look at the other costumes in the collage.

Grannie Frannie and Brampa Todd

Fran and Todd came to visit us. We had such a great time with them!! We were able to show them all around Spokane and let them see the Law School. We went to Manito Park and fed the ducks and the seagulls ( this was so fun... we would throw the bread in the air and the seagulls would dive for it and catch it in mid air!). We went to a bunch a yummy restaurants, and of course our favorite Casa de Oro. They took Abby for a fun day at the Riverfront Park and the children's museum. She is still talking about how fun it was!! We had a picnic in the park...as you can see from the pics, and just played until we were all worn out!! Abby loved it because brampa Todd played hide and seek with her ( check out the last four pics on the collage). Grannie and Brampa thanks so much we had a great time!!!

Undefeated!!!

Fran and Todd were able to come to two of Levi's football games. It was great to have more people to cheer for our team. They have won all four game so they are undefeated to date and most likely heading to the finals!!!

What a catch Levi, your the man!!! This catch was for a touchdown!

Another great action shot!!

The team "Elders and Heathens"

Football Fun

Flag football time! The guys got a team together to play and they had their first game today. They did great!! They were down by 6 points with only one minute left, and out of no where they got an interception by Levi and ended up getting a touch down and winning the game. All the guys did a great job, it was so fun to watch!!

left to right: ?,?,Shay, Bryce, Levi, Tyson, Nate, Nick, Taylor and Beau.

Audrey and I watching the game, it was freezing so we were cuddling to stay warm!!
Here are some action pictures of the game and some cute ones of the little girls being cheerleaders for their dads ( I think they were having more fun playing with the umbrella and eating candy though).

Snuggle Bugs

OK this is my favorite thing! Both my girls snuggling in bed with me in the morning. It can't get better than that. I love my girls so much!! ( thanks for the jammies mom!)

Houdini trick #2

So Audrey has got all sorts of ticks up her sleeve!!

She took a nap and woke up with her legs completely out of her jammies!

Crazy girl and crazy sleeper! We will keep you posted on the tricks to come!

The Fashion Girl!

So Abby has just discovered that she can dress herself...and pick out her clothes!

I know, I know she just might have a career in the fashion industry!!!

This has been hard for me, but she thinks she is such a big girl and a big helper when she gets ready herself!! It is so cute how proud she is!! What a cutie!

Tripple the Fun!!

Cute new friends!!

Abby, Kamryn and Tegan

Abby made some new friends this weekend!!

Just like Abby these girls dads live for GOLF too!!!

So Saturday they all played in a tournament and so

all the wives and kids got together to hang out.

It was a fun day!! Lost of good conversation and food!

I'm so grateful for new friends for Abby as well as for me!!

We caught them in the crib...the best trampoline ever!!!

The moms Mauressa, Chelsea and me

Each of us have two kids and they are all

about the same age! Lots of fun to come!!!

OK so I know this is kind dumb, but I have really enjoyed reading the Twilight books, and so I took this quiz, it was fun and if you have read the books you will really enjoy it!! If you haven't read them do it there great!!

Movie of the Girls!!

Houdini

So we woke up this morning and I got Audrey up and... look at her pajamas?? She looks like she is twisted, but really in the middle of the night she somehow got her legs out of the right leg holes and twisted and put them back in the opposite leg holes. Who knew we had such a talented little baby!! I had to blog this, I thought it was too funny!!

Twins

OK I guess I never realized how much Abby and Audrey look alike. I took this picture the other day and to me they could be twins, OK not really, but they look so much alike. They have the same nose, eyes, lips, etc. Maybe you all have noticed it already, but it has taken me seeing this picture to notice it. What cute girlies!!!

Levi working hard!!

Lately I have been thinking about how grateful I am for my hubby!! He not only is a great example to me and the girls, but he works so hard to give us everything we need! I am so proud of him for taking this leap of faith to go to Law School, move away from family and friends and live off very little money. He has made some huge sacrifices and I know they will pay off along the journey and in the end. I keep waiting for him to come home and say he is sick of school, but every time he comes home he is in such a good mood and can't stop talking about how much he is learning and how much he loves it!!! He will tell me about some of the cases he is reading and what the teachers expect him to know...all I can say is I'm glad it's him and not me. I am so grateful that our Heavenly Father loves us enough to give us such a wonderful opportunity and adventure. We are truly blessed!!

Abby beanie boo

So I loved the pics I got of Audrey with her beanie, so I decided to take some of Abby with hers. I can't get over how cute these beanies are!!! and my girls!!! I know I know I am their mom, but I have to brag to someone.

FUN DAYS IN SPOKANE

THE WEEKLY SCOOP September 16th

My new goal is to do a little write up of our weekly adventures here in Spokane. We want to keep you all up to date on what we are doing and what is new. I can't promise that it will happen every week, because things get a little crazy around here with these cute girls, but I will definitely try.

Just to catch you up on all that has happened since we got here... We moved just over a month ago. We have a cute two bedroom apt. that is very cozy, and also very homey! WE LOVE our new ward. There are quite a few Law students that live in our apt. complex and that live in our ward. It is fun to meet all the new people, its like they are our own little family away from home. We just had regional Stake Conference today. It was great, Pres. Hinckley spoke as well as Elder Hales, it is so good to hear from the General Authorities. It always reminds me to really remember to do the little things.

I Love the weekends here, because I get to spend all the time with Levi and the girls. We had such a great time this weekend. It was the Spokane County Fair. We went with some friends (Tyson and Heather) and had a really fun time. There really wasn't much to do but look at a whole barn full of Lambs, a whole 2 barns full of goats, and another barn full of cows!! Abby really liked seeing the animals, but she had to keep her nose plugged the whole time, because of the smell!! We did get a tasty snow cone and Audrey loved that!! Abby went on a few rides and that was about it, but the company was great and made the trip fun!!!

As most of you know Abby and I are taking a mom and me dance class, it has turned out to be so much fun!!! I am also teaching some classes and doing some choreography at the same studio. It has been a great break for me... not to mention its helping to get me back into shape.

Levi is really enjoying school. His classes are going well and he is learning a lot!! He has made a lot of new friends and studies with them at the library. It is really nice to have him home so much. I thought that he would be gone studying a lot more, but I guess I was used to him being gone for 3 to 4 days a week with work. Now he is home every night at 5 or 6 and has every weekend off. It is nice because he gets all his studying done at school, so when he is home we just get to enjoy the time together!!!

Well we sure miss you all, and hope all is going well for each of you!!

Flower Baby

This is my attempt to be a photographer...not great but the baby is so cute that I don't think it matters much!! I really wanted to show off the cute beanie that Audrey is wearing!! One of my cute friends that I met here in Spokane makes them. They are the cutest things ever, you buy the beanie and then you can buy separate flowers to go on them. There are so many flowers to choose from, all different styles and colors. I got each of my girls beanies and a bunch of flowers. Can't wait for it to get cool outside so they can start wearing them.

Pirate Abby

Abby is such a crazy girl and has such a great imagination!!! We received all these ribbons when we went to Build A Bear, and when we got home Abby only wanted to play with them instead of her new Bunnyboo. So Levi helped her tie each ribbon on and when he was done she said "I'm PIRATE ABBY" so here are the pics of our PIRATE ABBY!! Life is never boring with Abby around!!!
