Halloween Party Round 1

Last night was our round 1 of Halloween celebrations. To stick with our tradition, I fixed a Halloween dinner. Our only chance to have dinner together was last night because Phillip got off from work at 4pm and the rest of the week he would be working until 9:30pm. I was in a hurry because I also had to get the girls and myself ready for a party that started at 6. Phillip couldn't come with us because he is back in school for the next year and he had to stay home and do school work. He was able to study the whole time we were gone.
This year Maya chose to be a princess, it didn't surprised me. She chose to be Jasmine. Addison was a cute owl and I was the wicked witch of the west. We had fun, the Petersons know how to party, they had a great turnout.

Today we have another party with my Achievement Day girls and tomorrow is our church's Trunk or Treat. It should be a fun week!

One Last Time

Maya became really good friends with Rachel. They moved from Salt Lake to Bakersfield a few months ago. A few weeks ago her dad found a really good opportunity to open up his own restaurant at the University of Utah, so they will be moving back to Salt Lake city. On Wednesday, Maya had her last play date with Rachel. They had so much fun together. They always played so good together and always said to each other, "you are my best friend, I love you." I was sad for my little Maya. She truly loved Rachel, every time she knew Rachel was coming she would get so happy and excited. They loved to played dress up. Maya would always let Rachel pick her princess dress first. My little girl will for sure miss Rachel. I hope that whenever we go to Salt Lake, they can get together and play and pick up right where they left off.

Some time last week when I came back from my run I found these two like this:

While Tia Kristi was Here

I love having Kristi so close to us. We have seen her more often than ever before. I just love to have family over. She came to finish working on some wedding stuff. We got to see her wearing her bridal gown, she looked like a barbie doll (so jealous). She worked her magic making her own veil. This lady has serous talent. I can't wait for her wedding day, she will look beautiful.

While she was here we had fun doing some birthday shopping and buying a few things she needed for her wedding. Maya had fun with Tia too. One night Maya couldn't sleep and she came out of her room. Tia Kristi swaddled her like a baby and put her to bed. It was funny because Kristi could barely lift her and Maya kept making baby sounds. After she put Maya to bed, she didn't come out again!

FALL

This is my favorite season. I love how cozy it feels to be in bed, covered in soft blankets. I love going for walks when the weather is not too cold and not hot at all. I love the different color leaves and how they decorate the sidewalks and grass. I love to sit next to Phillip, cuddled up under a blanket and watching shows at night when the kids are in bed. It is the season for bike rides all around the neighborhood. I just love Fall. I love how awesome it feels when I run, I am not hot at all. I love the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon when I walk in the store. I love to see my girls wearing their footie pajamas and piggy tails. Their little cheeks are so warm in the morning when they wake up, they come to me and give me big hugs and kisses with their warm little bodies. Addison likes me to hold her for a few minutes before she can start her day and her running around. I am so grateful for the all different seasons. When is so cold outside I can't bear it any longer, I think of how awesome our springs are. Summer is way too hot and I would gladly skip that season, but then it just makes me even more excited for fall and winter. Now if you will excuse me, I must take off. Our morning walk is awaiting.
