Pumpkin Pie and Snow Angells!

Today I completely made a pumpkin pie from scratch! What a worth while way so spend a snowy afternoon, when your hubby is at work and girls are napping. It actually takes 3 or more hours start to finish.


Looks so yummy! Perfect to share with our neighbors who are coming for dinner tomorrow!

Starting to look alot like Christmas!

My poor tired hubby! Hardly gets any sleep, trying to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table! What a great Man!

This just hasn't been Halley's week. Poor little girl was playing around by the heater and it got her good! She didn't cry much, but burns really hurt! I feel so bad for her delicate, sensitive skin. I really hope it doesn't leave a scar.
She also got a scratch on her nose, not sure how it got there and big bump in her forehead, from running into the wall!

Hubby's Report Card

A while back, Kalab and I wernt exactly seeing eye to eye. Since then he has really been making much more of an effort with our relationship. He has been sweet and helpful, flirty and really just more intune to me. Which I couldn't be happier about! Together we worked out alot of stuff, we have been trying to spend more with eachother and not just time, quality time, talking and doing fun things together. I have noticed that my love and patience for him has grown. Now instead of getting mad at all the little things, I take a couple deep breaths and let it go, not eveything has to be a big deal. A little love goes a long way! So I think we both deserve an A++

...........Sweet November................

I love November. The jitters I get from feeling the Holidays just around the corner. Crafting and making things for the up coming season, I start getting back into the kitchen cooking and baking, warming up the house with yummy aromas and food ready to tickle our taste buds. Enjoying cuddles in the morning with my sexy hubby, in our nice warm bed, watching movies eating popcorn and sipping hot cocoa, snug under a blanket with my favorite two princesses! Play dates at home. Makings messes and best of all having fun cleaning them up with little helpers. Chilly walks bundled up, looking for Fall treasures, pretty leaves and twigs, pine cones.

Chicken Tortellini Soup with Fresh Spinach and Parmesan cheese, yum!

Andes Mint Holiday cookies! Everyone loves them!

Home made sausage Pizza.

New bows I've been making. I love these!

Halley's Vest is just darling with her matching bow. I made it for one her Christmas presents, but couldn't wait to try it on her, then she wouldn't let me take it off! She loves it!

Halloween 2010

What a good Halloween we had this year. Dad spent the first Halloween with us in 3 years. He's always had to work. We enjoyed door to door Trick Or Treating and a party at a friends house. I was so tired from running the marathon, I didn't get to many pictures. Bummer. But we sure know we had a good time. Halley didn't want to put any of her candy in her bucket. She had 5 pieces of candy in her hands and kept trying to get more. When she figured out that she got candy at the door, she would run (or wobble) from door to door, trying to beat Ava.

Ava had 3 different costumes this year. Her and Halley dressed up as Belle and Snow White for Boo Zoo. Then Ava still fit into her costume for last year, a witch, then at the last minute she decided to be Sleeping Beauty. Ava wore her play heels all night, walking from house to house. What a trooper, I brought different shoes for her just incase, but she didn't want them!

Halloween Half Marathon!

Today I have been able to walk without any pain in my legs. Yesterday wasn't to bad, I only felt sore when walking up the stairs. The days before that I could hardly walk without pain radiating through my entire body. Well worth the pain for the fun I had running the Provo Halloween half marathon with my younger Sister, Jaycie and Brother, Josh. I ran it in 2 hours and 5 minutes. Which is a personal best. I signed up under the athena division, which is for runners 150 lbs or heavier. I came in 13th out of 85 plus runners. 4,300 is the total number of crazy runners that signed up for the race. Thank You Josh and Jaycie for making this a truly memorable day!
