One picture can say it all- can't it?! Allie was cleaning her room until she came out like this! She was scared at first, but soon started laughing at herself. Being her mom can be so exciting!

Hiking
A few weeks ago we went hiking in the forrest near our home. It was unlike any forrest I had ever been to, with different types of moss and toad stools. It was very wet and cool, and there were many water falls nearby.
Leah was a trooper being carried of course, however half-way through Allie decided she didn't want to walk anymore!
We stopped to see a beautiful waterfall and also visit the largest cedar tree! It is said to be over 3000 years old, and even with all of our arms around it, we didn't even reach half way around! It was an amazing site! It was a great day with the family!

Trick or Treat!
All of the kids were so excited to wear their costumes. I gave them glow sticks and some fireworks that were left over. They ran up to every door and after quietly knocking cameron would say" Hi" or Happy Halloween and Allie would say," Trick or Treating"! Everyone loved them and with a full bag of candy, including some full size candy bars, they were the last ones in the small town to return home that night! Smiles on their faces!
No silly, Sleeping Beauty didn't need a pumpkin!

Ballerina girls
I made
some ballerina tutu's just for fun and decided to take picts of the the girls! We
have been
"traveling around" for a few weeks and had plenty of moments to take a few snapshots. Unfortunately, none were the best of Leah! She wasn't feeling well and was a little grumpy- oh well next time! Also,
happy to say we are finally at the new home!

Labor Day
For labor day the last thing I wanted to do was "labor", so we were all trying to think of something fun to do for the day with the kids! Finally, we decided on going to the Carver's family time-share in Peoria. It took us quite a while to get there, but was way worth the effort.
We had so much fun, especially the kids... okay all of us!
There was a three-story water slide that was used pretty much the whole time by us
The kids would climb up- go down- swim to the side- then run and start climbing again! The adults took turns going up with them, and we would try different "techniques" on the way down!
Needless to say it was very easy putting all the kids to bed that evening!

Happy 3rd Birthday and fun with the family!
Yesterday was my Allie's third birthday! We were so sad that we couldn't spend it with daddy,(Zach) but I guess there is always next year!
I just let her pick the activities that we were gonna do and she chose swimming, pizza, cake, dancing, and watching a movie! So that's just what we did!

I made little butterfly, flower, and star cupcakes- because those are three of her favorites besides princesses which I was definately not going to attempt!
Allie loved the homemade pizza and cupcakes and was so excited to do each new thing.
She loved all of her presents and didn't take the jewelry, dress, crown, rings, bracelet, etc. off until I made her at bed time! She also spent the night dancing the night away to the Disney princess songs cd my mom got her!
One of the best things abt. summer is spending time with my family- and so these were a few shots I took of them to remember the good times!
My sister Julia or "aunt jew- la" as some call her, is such a big help to me and one of my best friends! We love her so much and will be so sad to leave her! It has been a little crazy all living together like old times, but with Allie and Leah!
Overall though ... a great time!
