Halloween 2014

This girl is so fun!
She really had no idea what she wanted to be for Halloween, but
her friends knew for weeks.  So when I threw out the Duchess of Cambridge 
she LOVED the idea!
The best part is she didn't really care if anyone knew who she was...
she did and that was all that mattered!!


I am all about original and using what we have, so
I made her "fascinator" 
out of a paper plate, paper cup, paint, embellishments and lots of hot glue :)

I try to make a signature candy bag every year, and this year we took a hat
that Blake had bought as a souvenir on our trip to London several years ago, put 
a ribbon handle on it and voila!
"George's" blanket was my baby blanket from my baptism :)
her coat and dress were hand me downs from a friend.


This year our friends all came to our neighborhood to trick or treat
and it was so much fun!
I love this shot of the girls (from my phone :)
but the funny part is Lucy is the oldest of all these girls ...by months!!!

 Morgan, Anna, Lucy, Camryn and Savannah

Earlier in the day at school ...
the kids are allowed to bring their costumes to school, and the last hour of the 
day put them on for their party and a small parade.
Lucy wanted to keep it easy, so she wore her yoga pants,  a boho shirt, threw on 
a sparkly headband and she became a hippie :)


The boys were good sports about carving pumpkins
Blake helped Lucy do hers



Her 3rd grade teacher loves owls
so she does too :)



and Bennett did one too!


Another fun Halloween!!

Thanksgiving Weekending 2012

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving...

I love love love when Powell comes home, and my family is "whole"
Before we headed to the Brooks' for dinner, I tried to get my Christmas card photo :)
here are a few of the other shots...we had so much fun taking these!!






I really do have the best boys in the world...seriously 
THE BEST!





We love spending Thanksgiving at the Brooks'...Powell, Sam and Rachel
all attend WSU together and are the same age, Lucy has missed Rachel, and Uncle Peter 
joined us this year!


I think I am finally on my way to feeling a little normal.,.I have been sick for 10 days!!
I have not had a cough like this in years...it has really knocked me down!

Powell headed back to school today...he will return home in 3 weeks for Christmas break
Blake has some college applications to fill out :)
and I am reading for a little holiday cheer!!

Halloween 2012

our beautiful blushing bride


keeping with tradition of fun ways to collect her candy....
Lucy's bouquet is open in the center (a cone), and I carried a bag for her
to dump the candy after each house :)


she lost another tooth last week!







this year, just Blake and Lucy carved pumpkins
Lucy started out with a face, but decided to have Daddy
carve her name




so this year
we had a storm trooper (Blake is a little obsessed with Star Wars :)
and a reminder of who's house this is :)



and for a school costume
Lucy decided to rock the 80's :)



Wow...so it's November 1st!!

Charlotte's Web

I think spider webs are some of the most fascinating
works of art in nature :)

I especially love seeing them in October when they are wet with dew 
and they glisten in the sunlight





A.MAZ.ING!!
