Camp Rock!

5 Years Old!

Today is Hannah's 5th Birthday. It is hard to believe that she is already 5. I remember bringing her home from the hospital like it was yesterday! We had a great time celebrating this past weekend, she had some of her friends to the house and then we had the family over as well. It was an eventful weekend!

She decided that she wanted a Camp Rock party! I made cupcakes on Saturday for her friends and then Matthew and I made her cake for Sunday. Enjoy the pictures!!

Fun and Games

The Whole Group!
(Its a speaker and 2 microphones)

Rachel Lee Is 2!!!

Rachel Lee turned two on Monday! We had a great party with family for her on Sunday afternoon. I made her a "Big Bird" Cake. She LOVED it and told everyone she was having a big bird cake!

Time for presents!

I LOVED MY CAKE!

My mom has kept this dress since she was 2. She wore it, I wore it, Tammy wore it, Hannah wore it and now Rachel wore it all on our second birthdays, it was very special to see Rachel in it for my mom.

Harvest Festival & Halloween

Hannah's Preschool every year has a harvest festival. This year was a lot of fun like always! She learned about Potatoes, Corn, Pumpkins, apples, and even got to make a piece of rope! Her whole class had a great time. I helped with the apple station where we peeled apples and got to decide which apple we liked best: red, yellow, or green. Enjoy the pictures!

Halloween!

The girls had fun carving their pumpkins with Matthew! Hannah designed her pumpkin and Matt cut it out. They both had fun getting the guts out and making a big mess!

Dressing up!

This year Hannah was a 50's girl and Rachel used Hannah's old piglet costume! They were so cute! We went to Matt's office for our trick-or-treating this year and skipped the neighborhood walk. We had a lot of fun there and the girls got a ton of candy! We ate pizza and watched the Adams Family. We did take the girls across the street to visit the neighbors and sat outside and passed out candy with them. Enjoy!

Fiesta Through Hannah's Eyes

Here are a few of Hannahs pictures from Balloon Fiesta. We got up bright and early last Saturday and went out to the field. Then on Thursday morning I took the girls out to a spot near the field and we watched the balloons land a few feet infront of us. They LOVED it!

This is Airbelle on the field Sat morning.

The balloons that landed near us on Thursday

Rachel was VERY excited to see the "bawoons"

We're Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo.....

Today we headed out to the zoo with Noah! We had a great time. Hannah and Noah each picked 3 different animals to learn about and we read all about them. Learned where they live, what they ate, how old they were, and what they liked to eat! It was a lot of fun...Here are a few pictures of our day out.

Hannah's Favorite the Pink Flamingo's.

Rachel wathing the Pink Flamingo's

The BIG Chair....Everytime we go to the Zoo the kiddos like to have their picture taken in this chair.

Watching the Chimp take a nap.

Rachel and the seals and sea lions....she was amazed!

Hannah and Noah watching the seals and sea lions...they learned how to tell the two apart!

Skipping to the Polar Bears...they held hands all around the zoo.

Watching the polar bears!

Future Republicans!

On the way home Shelly and I stopped by the McCain Headquarters to get our McCain Palin signs (they finally had them). These two are so funny...you ask either one if they could vote who they would vote for and they both say McCain Palin and that they are republicans....it is too cute!

Finally.....

I know I know I finally got the pictures on to Matt's lap top as mine is on its last leg. Here are some pictures of the girls from the end of summer to the first day of school!

Kitchen Time!

The girls especially Rachel really enjoy playing and making food for Mommy and Daddy. It is a daily thing now. I get ready to make dinner and both girls start cooking in their little kitchen just around the corner and sometimes they both end up in the kitchen helping me with dinner

Fun With Hair

Rachel always wants to be with and do what Hannah is doing including what she wears and how her hair is done! So I tried to see if her hair was long enough for a french braid...it held for most of the day!

First Day of School!

Hannah started her last and final year of preschool. She LOVES it! She is still at KUCI which is where she started 2 years ago! it is hard to believe she will be starting kindergarten next year already!

Dress Up Time

Rachel LOVES to play dress up now. She got this little Squirt jacket (the turtle from Finding Nemo) from her Aunt Jan and loves to wear it all the time. She is adjusting to Hannah being in school and still gets upset when we leave Hannah at the door, but it is improving day to day.

Hopefully next time I post it wont be over a month!
