Halloween Part 2

After the kids went to bed on Halloween night, we still had some friends over. Plus a couple more showed up just to hang out with us and celebrate the holiday. Angie had come over for the whole thing, and then Alki showed up towards the end. But after the kids went to bed, Kris and AJ came to. We all have such a great friendship. We sat back laughed, had a few drinks, and ate some treats while enjoying each others company. We were missing Kevin and Amy. But otherwise had a ball together. We always do! I am very lucky to have such amazing friends here in California. They make up my California family, since my real family is further away. I love these guys and hope they know how much they all mean to me.


AJ as a devil, and Roxy as her angel dog. In fact even Tinkerbell and Hyaun had a party. We had 4 dogs here..ha ha

Justin and Alki chillin...probably talking about cars or something. Alki was a retired Floridian...he was missing the straw hat though.

Kris as Joe Dirt...lol He is usually bald so to see him with hair was weird!

AJ, Kris, and Angie!

Halloween Night

Halloween was awesome. We started by having some Taco Soup for dinner. The we all got ready and everyone showed up. A bunch of us went trick or treating with kids. Sadly not alot of houses were up to the fun this year. But the girls still got a good amount of candy. Leah drug us through all the neighborhoods and up and down Hills..ha ha. But in the end it was so much fun!

During the day Barnes and Noble had a story time for the kids where they could dress up, read books, color, and take a pic with Curious George. So we got the girls all ready and went down there. They got to have story books read to them, and meet Curious George it was alot of fun

Princess All The Time

My Girls all dolled Up :)

Gorgeous......

Kylee as Princess Rose..She loved her dress and Gloves

She had to curtsey in her dress

Issy as Cinderella...She LOVES her dress!

Chelsey wanted to be Belle so bad. But she has a hard time finding princess costumes in her size now. I guess they just cater to the younger girls. But Grandma Corinne pulled through and here she is.....

Well she has done it again...My mother in law never ceases to amaze me on her sewing skills. She is so talented. My girls wanted princess dresses this year for Halloween. So Corinne put her sewing machine to work and did a fabulous job. Here is a run through with everything on to show her just how gorgeous she has made my girls look for Halloween. Love you Mom so much and thank you for your had work and time :) The girls love them so much and can't wait to put them back on.

Harvest Festival at Orrenmaa Elementary

The girls elementary school put on a Harvest Festival last Saturday afternoon. The had games, food, bake sales, and crafts for the kids. They also got to put on their costumes and dress up for it. Sad thing is we didn't know the school was having this and their dresses that their Grandma Corinne was making them was in the mail. So we put on some other costumes from last year and some dress up. Chelsey was her last year pirate costume, Kylee put on a Jasmine costume that her Grandma gave her, and Issy put on Kylee's last year Bat-girl costume. The girls loved it and Had a blast.

Bat girl Issy...here to save the day :)

Chelsey takes 3rd Place!!

On Sept. 13th Chelsey had her Hip Hop competition. Her team took 3rd place in their division. She was really nervous, and was watching everyone perform before her. She said "Mom I don't think we can do this". I said " Yes you can, just do your best". They did a great job and she was so excited. She just started another season and has competition in Janurary.
