Happy Birthday Gracie!

We celebrated Gracie's Birthday day before Thanksgiving last week. I can barely believe that I have a three year old! She's growing up so fast and we love her to pieces! Gracie is learning so much and is changing too. She loves playing dress up, watching movies, playing with her sister, going to Grandmas (which she asks me everyday), helping her Mom around the house, and being with her Dad. She amazes me everyday with the things she says and knows. Happy Birthday Gracie we're glad you're in our family:)

My Little Girl is Three!

Princess On Ice

I meant to blog this a while ago. We took Gracie to Disney Princesses On Ice in November with some of her friends and their Parents. We were on the front row so the show was bigger then life to Gracie. Everytime I looked at her her eyes were almost popping out of her head LOL.. She was so excited to see all the princesses and kept telling me all of their names. The witches and giant Ursella left the biggest impression I think, she was a little scared of them. Gracie had a fun time and so did the parents. It was nice spending some one on one time with my little princess:)

Thanksgiving at Grandmas

Check one off the bucket list!

Since I was little I've always dreamed of going on a hot air balloon ride, and this morning we had the opportunity to go! We went with some other couples from Bryan's work. It was incredible! We took off in American Fork and could see almost the whole valley. It was so awesome to see it from that view. Bryan got to help get the balloon off the grass, It was really cold until they started pumping fire into it then we were all toasty warm after that:) It was also fun learning more about how they fly and land. You are totally at the mercies of the wind and depending how high or low you are is what will make the difference of which way you go, so you never know where your going to land depending on where the wind is blowing that day. A beautiful and awesome experience.

Sleeping Beauty And Snow White

We went to our Ward Halloween party last night and the girls got to wear their costumes:) Gracie was so excited to be her favorite princess this year, Sleeping Booty as she would say. And Sabrina made such a cute little Snow White. Her favorite thing to do at the party was run up and down the halls in her little dress, it was quite funny.

Painting Pumpkins

We had Erin and Emilee come over with their little girls, Adelyn and Cher to have some Halloween festivities! The girls painted pumpkins and got to decorate sugar cookies, all though I think their faces were painted more then their pumpkins and cookies by the time they were thru. LOL.. I lost my camera until later that night so I didn't get any pictures while they were making them. Bummer.. I thought the pumpkins turned out adorable, and we won second prize with them at our ward Halloween party:)

Bulbs, Bulbs And More Bulbs!

Two Saturdays ago Bryan and I planted over 200 bulbs in the front yard. My Mom and I saw this idea of digging trenches in a magazine, so you can plant a lot at one time and stagger them in rows. I love to see tullips come up in the spring and can't wait to see our hard work pay off. The best part I like about it is you just have to do the labor once and they come back every year! Can't wait for spring!

My BOOtiful girls!

This is our favorite time of year! Gracie is really starting to understand what Halloween is all about this year, it is so fun. She has been watching Wizard of Oz the last few weeks and is obsessed with witches now, (to bad I already got her a costume this year). She likes me to pretend I'm a witch and chase her around the house saying (I'll get you my pretty!). I've also been teaching her the whole trick or treat, knocking on doors and getting yummy candy, and she's pretty excited about that. Sabrina for the last two weeks is finally walking now and no more crawling, yeah just in time for Halloween! I can't believe how grown up she seems now that she's walking.

Conference Weekend

During Conference weekend we went up to Payson Lakes to see the fall colors and listen to conference with Bry's bro Brandon and Ashley and there little boy Jaron. It is the most breath taking scenery up there! It was awesome listening to the echoing sounds of conference in the mountains with the fresh air and beautiful fall leaves. We might make this a tradition for Saturday conference every year:)

Family Pictures

Wow were did September go! Sorry I've been a slacking on my blog lately:) In September we went down to St. George to have family pictures taken with Bry's family and individual family pictures. I love taking pictures every fall and seeing how our family is growing. The girls are at a difficult age for pictures so we had to bribe with suckers:)

Gracie's Dance Class

Today was Gracie's second time at her Fairy Tale Ballet. She wasn't very sure about it the first time and cried a little and didn't really do what the teacher said. Her second time was a success no crying and more dancing. Last week they got to be Tinker Bell and this week was Wendy. What fun costumes! After the class I got her some cute tutus to wear to dance, she was so excited about her new tutus she wanted her picture taken in them ( that never happens by the way). What a cutie:)
