Sunday Morning

Looking at this line-up just melts my heart!

HaPpY HaLf - BiRtHdAy!!!

Don't you just want to eat her up?!?!

Believe it or not, this little chubba-lubba can actually lift that belly and those chubby cheeks off of the ground and get up on her hand and knees. Unfortunately, she can only scoot backwards so far. She loves all the new tastes that she gets to try out now that we are giving her solid foods. Her big sisters are her favorite people in the world, but she usually flashes a shy smile to just about anyone who will stop and tell her how cute she is. We are so blessed by Valerie's sweet temperament and go-with-the-flow attitude!

Happy Halloween

It's a good thing that our girls have a loving Grandma Mouser who has a gift for sewing. I was not inspired to make or buy extravagant costumes this year for Halloween. We were going to reuse some old costumes and call it good. Last Saturday, we received a package in the mail with two BEAUTIFUL princess dresses. (The pictures do them no justice at all! You should see the detail.) Carolyn made a gorgeous Belle dress for Sierra complete with a hooded cape. An enchanted rose came with her ensemble. Ally got the perfect Snow White dress and cape. A red hair ribbon and plastic apple completed her outfit perfectly. The looked SOOO CUTE! Thanks Grandma Mouser.

Sweet, sweet, sweet Snow White.

As we were getting ready, Sierra asked, "Mom, do you have time to dye my hair brown?"

Um...no.

Checking on the flames inside their jack-o-lanterns.

Cutest little pumpkin in town!

Cousin Annie came to buzz around the neighborhood with us!
