Busy Halloween Weekend...

On Sunday, the girls and I dressed in Orange and Black for Halloween..

I made some sugar cookies for the teachers...
Grace and Olivia got to dress up at school...they were so excited about it!

After trick-or-treating for 20 minutes, Grace and Olivia were begging to go home...all they wanted to do was pass out candy!

The twins went home with Rob and Taylor and I went trick-or-treating for a little longer with the cousins...

We went down to Scripps Ranch with my sister and mom because they were handing out candy and taking free pictures of the kids at the stores down there.

I LOVE halloween, but I love Christmas even more....can't wait!!

family pictures...

We stopped by my parents house before we took Family pictures with my sister heather. She is amazing at what she does! How crazy is Grace in these pictures? That is totally her personality! I love my girls more than life itself and can't imagine life with out them!
I haven't gotten the CD from Heather yet, but she sent me a little sneak peek! I hate everything I have to do to get pictures taken, but absolutely LOVE having them! :)

What I've been working on...

I made the circle garland for Grace and Olivia's birthday and since I'm obsessed with felt, I decided to make felt garland for my Christmas Tree.
This skirt for Grace and Olivia took forever...(look at those tattoos!)


Added some flowers to the head warmers I have for the girls...Grace LOVES to pose, can you tell? :)

A new felt belt...
The young women have young women in excellence tonight and I was supposed to make 20 felt belt kits for them. They will be coming to my house in a few months to make the belts! Hope they like them!!
My sister Meghan came up with the great idea to learn a new article of Faith every week and so far the girls know the first one. We are working on the second one this week...hopefully they can have them memorized by Christmas. We told them they would be getting something for learning all 13 of them. They are excited about it now but i'm sure it will die down soon. :)

Meghan visits...

And we had SUCH a fun time. I always love when Meghan comes to visit. All of the adults got babysitters and went to a haunted house. It was called "The Dark" and it was pretty lame so right after that one we went to the one at Balboa Park (which Rob, Heather, my mom and dad and I had already been to). We knew it was REALLY scary so we decided to have everyone else go to it too! It was SUCH a fun night!!

We went to Sea World and the kids convinced me to get soaking wet on this ride! It was actually really fun until you get off and you are literally soaking wet :)


Mormon Batallion

Pumpkin Patch... (I LOVE this little girl!)

Julian


Beach at night


We celebrated Spencer's birthday at the beach and he really wanted a ghost party so Meghan and I made him a ghost cake...
The 3 little hawaiian princesses!!!
Come back REALLY soon Meghan!!

weird faces and Crafts!

My kids are OBSESSED with the photo booth on our computer. Every time I get on computer, there are ATLEAST 10 new pictures of the girls faces. It's hilarious!!

We played a game called corn hole at my dad's work party and Rob thought it was a lot of fun so he decided he wanted to make one. He bought the wood and he and the girls made it for Family Night. We all painted it together and I made some bean bags for it. Seems like a really dumb game but it's actually A LOT of fun!
We got this table from my inlaws and I decided to paint the chairs. (because that's what I do....I paint pretty much everything and I'm almost getting sick of it!)
The girls and I made some spider web cupcakes to take to some neighbors...
and I made a rose cake for a girl in my ward.
For halloween I decided that all of the girls would be flintstones! I just didn't want to pay for all of the costumes so I made them instead. Taylor is Betty, Grace is Wilma and Olivia is Pebbles. I have fabric for Rob to be Fred but it's gonna take some convincing...:) Not sure yet who I"m going to be...the girls really want me to be the purple dinosaur!

LOTS of baking......and soccer

My cute niece had a birthday and came here to celebrate so I decided to make a cake and had my sister Meghan help. Sooo much fun to have family visit!!Rob went out of town to watch BYU football with his brothers in Provo so I made some sugar cookies for him to take...
then I made some Angry bird cookies for Grace and Olivia's team. They play on a coed team and one of the boys wanted their team name to be Angry Birds. It's sooo much fun to watch them play and really hilarious!

They LOVE having their dad be the coach!

I made some soccer cookies for Taylor's team too. I'm officially sick of baking :)
Taylor loves to play goalie....we'll see if she still likes it once the other teams scores on her. Her team is undefeated and I'm not sure I want to be there the day they lose, it's gonna be one sad day for lots of little girls!

Bono the Monkey

Olivia got to take Bono the monkey home from school today and she was soooo excited about it. Bono got to go to Soccer with her and play on the monkey bars and then go to bed with her! We just hope he doesn't come back anytime soon since he's been to 15 other houses and really smells bad!

I've been busy making some more hair clips...

and I had to make 8 of these sacks filled with dried corn for a corn hole game that Rob is making. Pictures of that will come later, can't wait until it's done!
