Vacation

Saturday was a quiet, catch-up day for Steve and me. 

We were both trying to get organized from past weeks. 

While we were busy, the girls went on a VACATION without us! 

(We found them outside in the 70 degree weather laying out!)

Me: What are you guys doing?

(They both looked up at me in their over sized sunglasses)

Ellie: Laying out - duhh!

Chloe: We are on a vacation, California! Laying out on the beach!

 The next location was snowboarding on pillows in the spare bedroom!

(That is Rachael's Volcom Sweatshirt - Chloe is growing up so fast!!!)

 The final destination was Shopping in New York!

I have to admit, they are more stylish then I was in N.Y.C.

LOL - They crack me up!  Together they can always think of something fun to do! 

Round 2: Trunk or Treat

 TRUNK or TREAT with our Ward

 PuNk-RocKeRs!!!

 The girls had a blast with all their primary friends!

 Sisters: Best Friends Forever!!! 

 Enjoying their candy on the church lawn!  

 They only get to keep 5 pieces and

think I'm the meanest mom EVER because of it!

Dressing up and Candy - what could be more FUN!

Pumpkin Carving

Sunday Evening we Carved Pumpkins!!!

The girls made Steve wear my APRON ; ) 

Ellie loved the mess!

 My partner in crime ; )  Steve is always up for anything!  I love it!

 Chloe carved her pumpkin and then traced a cool vampire on the back and painted it. 

She did an excellent job!

 Ellie had to join in and paint hers as well!

 Finished Products!

 Chloe's Vampire Pumpkin!!!!

 Jack-O-Lanterns



Halloween - Round 1

PUNK - ROCKERS!!! (I'm pretty sure Rachael and I were this for a couple years! ; )

Every Halloween we get dressed up sooooo many times! 

Here is Round 1 - we went to Tanner's Halloween Carnival.  The girls had a blast! 

Steve's mom is so much fun.  We always have a great time with his side of the family. 

He was on shift and was feeling very left-out of all the FUN!

Cupcake Walk - Chloe's favorite!

Scary Teeth!

Everyone was on the hunt for some vampire teeth! 

Ellie is still wearing hers around!

Santa Fe Fire Department

The girls and I went to Santa Fe
and took a bunch of baked treats for all the Fire Fighters!  

The pink shirt is for Breast Cancer Awareness Month -

It makes Ellie laugh eveytime Steve puts it on. 

  I forgot my camera on the counter - so these were taken with Steve's phone.

We had fun touring the station.  Thanks babe!

Balloon Fiesta: Day 2

Friday morning (Fall Break in Rio Rancho) we went down to watch the balloons.

The girls were dying to go up in a balloon.  This guy was so nice and taking kids on rides about 30 feet in the air!  They both loved it!  What a cool experience!

Walking back to the car. 

Open invite to anyone who wants to come stay with us during the Balloon Fiesta!!! ; ) 

Balloon Fiesta: Day 1

Something about these balloons and being with the ones you love is magical!

Sweet N Sassy!

Maybe I should name this blog Sweet n' Sassy Moments!

Chloe and Ellie are so Beautiful inside and out!

Thanks Uncle Paul
