Little Gals

Sariah loves to play with her cutie Aunts outside. She is enjoying them so much. They love to take her out often. Cutie gals on the swing.

Baby Girl and her Puppy

Little Miss loves puppy dogs because of this cute dog. She can't get enough of this gal. As soon as we moved in with my Dad she was all over Paisleigh. Sariah calls her Pup pup. Paisleigh lets Sariah lay all over her. When we first got here Sariah was fascinated with Pup Pup's eyes and would stick her finger in them. Paisleigh would just sit there and let her for the majority of the time. When she gets tired of it she just gets up. Here they are watching Sesame Street together.

Most of the time they just stay close to each other. I don't know what Sariah is going to do when we move into a house without a dog....I am sure it will give her all the more reason to be excited to visit Pops and Honey cause we are not going to own a dog.

Mt. Rushmore

I got an email today that made me giggle and I had to share. You know there are somethings you just never think of....like Mt. Rushmore from the Canadian side. .What do you think?

Since my camera is acting like a crazy, we are going out tonight to find a new one. Any suggestions? I am not a camera know it all and need a little advice on one that can take pictures and videos.

Arizona Pumpkin Patch---MacDonalds Ranch

This past weekend we went to a Pumpkin patch in Scottsdale. It was at the MacDonalds Ranch which is a pretty big ranch with lots of horses. They had a petting area for the kids to get up close with lots of different animals. There was a hay ride that took us out to get our pumpkins that only cost $6. Which isn't too bad for a pumpkin. Also both of my cute kiddos got to ride a pony for the first time. There were sack races and a hay maze that the kids were involved in but I didn't get pictures of them. Over all, we had a fun time.

Here are Justin and Sariah petting the horses. Justin really is a great big brother, he loves to get Sariah to smile when ever he is near. They are so lucky to have each other!

Justin was not afraid to pick up the bunny rabbits at all. He went right in the pen and picked one up.

Sariah didn't know what to think about all the animals.

She got up close to with the bunnies and Justin.

Mr Gentle loved the bunnies!

They both loved them actually...I think we might have to get one.

I thought this baby pig and it's mama were so cute...

Shetland Pony

Laurel got to feed the pony some hay.

Now when they said pony rides I thought they would be riding a little horse but nope...here she is on a big one. Can you tell she barely fits on the saddle...her poor little legs. She kept slipping off the saddle. Thank goodness for Pops standing next to her the whole ride so I could get pictures.

Here is a front shot of little Miss and her horse.

Justin on his horse. He looks like a natural.

The helmets were a precaution....and I don't know why they just took a very slow stroll around the yard. But you never know so you got to be careful.

Little Miss Laurel on her ride.

Miss Menleigh as well.

The whole clan ready to go out to the patch to find a good pumpkin.

Justin found her this little one and she fell in love with it.

It is the perfect size.

Here they are with the perfect pumpkins! They are the cutest kiddos!!

Happy Halloween from our family to you!

Visit to the Phoenix Zoo

During Fall break...which here in Arizona is a whole week....we did a few things to keep the kids entertained. Besides the ever popular movie marathon days we took the kiddos to the Phoenix Zoo. Sariah had been to a few zoo's in Texas but was too little to really interact with the animals and such. It was so much fun this being her first time where she could be entertained with all the different animals. My camera is on it's last bit of life. I have to be creative to keep it working, which means I don't take as many pictures. Stupid camera...any suggestions on what new camera I should buy?

Here are the kiddos all buckled in the car ready for our drive to the zoo.
This little owl was at the top of the bird cage right by the door.

Little Sariah looking into the area but you can't see any animals, you can see how long her hair is getting!!

Cute Justin playing at the little park. He is such a handsome little man.

Honey and Brynn with the little miss.

This little park that was at the Zoo had this super long tunnel. Sariah loved it!

Band Concert

We got to go to our cute Brynn's first band concert of the year last week. My camera is starting to die so please be as patient as you can with the horrible quality of the pictures. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the band in which Brynn preforms. Another major bonus is the concert only lasted an hour! For some reason band concerts in my mind used to drag on forever but this concert had 2 bands perform and it last only an hour...even with an intermission! I think all band directors should take this form of concert and run with it.

Here is the back of our cute Brynn when she had first got on stage. 2nd one in. She thought that if she put her hand up to block her face I would stop taking pictures...she doesn't know me well...it just provoked me to try even harder...yes I am that embarassing sister who makes sure you get your picture taken while performing.

Here is a friend of Brynn's from our ward who we all think is awesome. He played in the band before her.

Brynn is a very talented young lady and here I caught her in action playing her lovely clarinet.

I captured this picture just in time and love the faces. My dad and baby girl look too cute with the same expression across their faces. Do you think they might be related? Sariah loves her Pops! She climbed up on his lap for a hug and stayed for a little bit.

She actually let me watch the whole concert without having to go out of the auditorium. Little Miss loves most music and will dance along to the beat. Keeping her confined to our row wasn't difficult with the music entertaining us all.

Inner Eye

What's your inner eye colour?

Blue eyes You're a relaxed, laid-back chick with a sweet, friendly nature. Your kindness puts people at ease and also wins you many friends, and you love to be surrounded by those who love you. You've also got a strong romantic streak, and when you fall in love, you fall deep. However, sometimes when the going gets tough, you can become a bit reclusive and try to stay out of important matters – generally not a good idea! You tend to rely on others a lot, and your mood hits rock bottom when they disappoint you. Not surprisingly though, when someone is relying on you, you go to all lengths to live up to their expectations, and because of that, you make a wonderful friend.

Baby Girl's Hair

Thank you for the great advice on what to do with my cute little girls hair. The little clear elastics hold her very thin hair in place perfectly, which makes it possible for the adorable hair pretties.

Cuteness squared

The hair is totally out of her eyes! I love it!

It is so wonderful that she doesn't pull them out that often either. Every now and then she'll take them out but for the most part she leaves them in all day.

Here she is at soccer practice with her glasses and the straight up Pebbles look.

I love that her hair can grow nice and long without me cutting the bangs. You can tell how long her hair is getting with this shot from the back.
