Bath Time

The girls were taking a bath the other night and I decided to have Tyda join them. She was laughing at the girls and just having a fun time. The girls liked having her with them, so they could play with her. They absolutely love their 'Baby Tyda'.



Tyda loves having baths, but she really likes the tub where there is a lot more water to splash and lay down in.

This motorcycle is a remote control bike that I got for Dan for Christmas last year. We thought it was a good size for Tyda.

Pictures

A couple of weeks ago I had my friend Carrie and her sister Chellese take our pictures. We did some regular ones and then we did some with the girls in their halloween costumes. I think they turned out really cute. I'm excited to have them hanging in our house.

Temple Square and a Rainy Day

Last Saturday we went up to Temple Square. They had "The Reflections of Christ" exhibit and I really wanted to see it. It wasn't as big or spritual as I hoped, but it was still good. I would love to have one of those portraits in my house.

The girls loved the reflection pool and the water fountain. It was their favorite part. But they did like the Christus. They thought that it was pretty neat.






Afterwards we went over to see Whitney and her family and Sarah. It was good to see them all.

Sunday it was raining, so after church the girls went outside to play in it. As you can see in the pictures, Scarlett is totally happy in the first picture and then in the second one she is crying. That is because she fell and didn't want to play anymore.

Halloween

Halloween is getting funner every year. The girls had a blast and it was so fun to watch them enjoy everything. This year the girls were a tin girl (Scarlett), a scarecrow (Hawley) and a lion (Tyda). I couldn't find any cute tin girl costume and so I made it (Thanks for your help Irene. I couldn't have done it without you.) I was very pleased with it, since it is the only thing that I have ever made.





We got ready for the day and went to Security National where the girls met Snow White and Mulan. They were so excited. They kept going up to her and asking if she was really Snow White. Then we went over to Unicity to trick-or-treat and see Dan's cool area that they decorated. They had a competition for costumes and decorations and he won both. Rock on Baby!! The girls also got to meet Cinderella at Unicity and they were pretty excited about that.

After all that we came home and ate and then went back out to trick-or-treat around our neighborhood. It was a nice night, so there were tons of kids out and about. The girls had a blast and got tons of candy. Our neighbors are awesome and get into Halloween. I really enjoyed walking around and watching the girls and visiting with people. It was a good day!

Quick Updates

It is a little later than I thought it would be putting this up, but better late than never.
Thursday we had a girls day. It was a lot of fun with shopping, eating and enjoying each others company. Everyone was there which is awesome. Out of all the kids, Isaac had the hardest time, because he still is taking 3 hour naps and didn't get anything. He still is a cutie though.




Friday we bought our pumpkins and had a fun family carving party. The girls had a lot of fun and didn't even mind taking the guts out. Scarlett was a little bit hesitant at first, but she ended up doing it. They turned out pretty good I thought.







Saturday we went to Delta for our annual pumpkin party. We had a lot of fun and the winners were: 1st place--Shai, Me, and Dan. 2nd place--Cade. Next year will be even better cause we are going to be doing an even bigger party with games and prizes and stuff. Exciting! Dan already has his pumpkin pattern for next year picked out. It will win of course--it is pretty cool.

Tuesday we had our wards Halloween party. I had to work, so we ended up getting there right at the end of the trunk-or-treat. The girls had fun dressing up and getting candy. I wasn't able to take any pictures, but we went and had our pictures taken last Wednesday and the girls were in their costumes, so I will post those when I get them.

No more PLEASE!!!!

For those of you who don't know, I have started watching Zoey again. Most days are delightful, but there are some days (even if Zoey wasn't here) that I want to pull my hair out and swear non stop. This morning was more on the pull my hair out side. It was about 9am and we were watching cartoons and the girls were eating breakfast. Zoey was A LOT calmer than usual just laying on the couch (which isn't a good thing in her case). I didn't think anything of it and just enjoyed the calmness. Well I looked over at her as she was turning or doing something and saw something on her arm. I asked her what she had and she hurried and put her arm down and didn't say anything. But with the look on her face I knew that something was up. I went over to her and grabbed her arm and she kinda started to cry because she had taken the gum that she was chewing and decided to stick it all over her body. She was fully dressed but she managed to get it on her neck and chin, her belly, her hand and some fingers and in the crevice of her arm. The crevice was the worst because she had put the most gum there and then closed her arm which then made it stick together and because she was sitting like that for so long it stuck so much that it hurt her to try to open it. It did get on her shirt, so I am in the process of getting that out. I have heard of many ways to get gum out of fabrics, but never skin. So I started to try different things. These are the things that don't work well: Oily lotion, peanut butter, and toothpaste (Aloe Vera was next on the list). I was just going through my house trying anything to get it off. The thing that removes gum for skin is: rubbing alcohol. It worked wonderfully. (Although Zoey didn't like it much.) So to anyone who watches Zoey--NO MORE GUM! Especially at my house!

I am actually thinking about starting a different blog with ways to remove things from other things. :) Between the twins and Zoey I'm sure I will learn many more things!

These pictures aren't the best cause my camera SUCKS, but you can kinda see where the gum was.





Oh and about 1/2 hour before this, I found her sneaking around the house with a big booger on her finger. Gross!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

I guess this is me. :)

And how funny is this--Dan is Carlisle
