Halloween!!!

My little princesses!!! I love this picture-- they are both smiling so cute!!! I sure do think I have the cutest little girlies in the world!
All dressed up and ready to go!!! We had a wonderful Halloween complete with a party and grandma and grandpa's and trick-or-treating! Kate was Cinderella. She insisted that she needed to be a blond princess either Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty and that Clarie had to be Belle, because she has brown hair--too cute!!! Karson was a vampire--his hair is so perfect for a little Dracula!
We made these cute little spider cookies earlier in the day on Saturday. I originally saw them as cupcakes, but we don't love cupcakes, so we made them out of homemade oreos--so yummy!
Friday night we carved pumpkins!!! The kids were so funny! We had them clean out their own pumpkins the best they could Karson and Kate dug right in, but Claire wanted nothing to do with it!!! The pumpkins turned out so cute and the kids were so proud of them! Too bad some punk kid kicked Claire's in last night!! She was so funny this morning. I brought the pumpkin in to throw it away and she said "my pumpkin?" with a puzzled look... I told her that some naughty kids did it. She said, "Kate, did it?" I told her no, "Karson did it?" No just some kids that were naughty. " Oh naughty kids!" Then she went on her way. I was glad it was her pumpkin and not Karson or Kate's-- there definitely would have been tears.
Last Friday we went to the pumpkin patch with Jared and Abby's family-- it is one of my favorite fall traditions!

Happy 2nd B-day Claire!!!

Our little Claire Bear turned 2 yesterday!!!! She was up all night the night before with a fever and was not quite her normal peppy self-- but she did love her cupcake...
and presents...
and her tutu!!! She is such a funny little thing. We can't get enough of our little Claire!!! She is developing so much personality and is talking more and more every day-- the things she comes up with crack us up!! 2 year stats: 22 lbs, 32 in. tall-- she's going to be shrimpy like her mama!
My mom bought these little dresses when she was here this fall. We had quite the Indian summer, so the girls hadn't been able to wear them before she left. This picture was taken on Sunday before going to our sweet little niece, Lucy's, baby blessing.

7 and Yellowstone

Happy Birthday Karson!!!! Karson turned 7 last Friday!!! We had a Lego cake last night to celebrate, because we spent his birthday on a little family vacation in Yellowstone! We had so much fun exploring the park and spending some quality time with just our little family!!!
The kids at the playground at the beautiful condo in West Yellowstone! Karson opened his birthday presents here before we headed to the Bear and Wolf thingy (can't remember its name ;0).
Swimming at the condo pool!
The kids in Yellowstone-- we actually got a cute shot where they are all smiling--miracles do happen!
This is my favorite spot in Yellowstone-- so beautiful!
Cute Kate!
