So You Think You Can Dance!


I absolutely love the show "So You Think You Can Dance" and luckily, so do my best girls. Sheri, Jen, and I had an awesome Girls Night Out with Sheri's sister-in-law and her friends. We went downtown to M's Pub for a yummy dinner and then we were off to the show. We screamed with all the other women there over the dances we love from this past season. It was such a fun night. I am lucky to have my two girls, who I love so much.
Here we are, all Hyped up after the show!
I wish I could have gotten close-up pictures of the show. The dancers looked great! We especially loved The Necklace routine! Yow!
M's Pub is a sheik little place. We had some really good food.

Happy Halloween!


As you can see by Troy's crazy face, that we have a lot of fun around Halloween. Daddy worked hard to carve a scary jack-o-lantern after we helped pull out all the pumpkin "guts." With a Magical Witch and a Flower Fairy in the house, we had a beautiful little trick-or-treaters. The Giorgis's came over to trick-or-treat with us. Kimball had so much fun with the girls.

Lucky me! I got to be the mummy for the toilet paper race at Braedyn's Kindergarten Halloween party. Our group couldn't quite get the wrapping technique down. We lost by a long shot.

Braedyn's best little buddy, Rachel. They are quite the pair at school.
Both girls got sick the week before Halloween. Braedyn missed the whole week of school. We had to find a lot of creative ways to stay entertained, all stuck in the house together. Painting pumpkins was a fun afternoon.

Vala's Pumpkin Patch

Vala's Pumpkin Patch is my favorite fall tradition. From pumpkins, to kettle corn (yum!) to train rides, there are so many fun things to the place. The place is sure random with a "bunny village" and life-size storybook houses, but it is sure fun. This year we went with Brittney's preschool group - yeah for the discounted rate. We brought my nephew, Daniel, along. My friend, Sheri, and her cute boys and my sister, Alex, and my cousin, Dominique, came too. In spite of the cold, it was a great day.
The kids were laughing it up on the train ride.
Alex made friends with Joe, the camel. He kept walking by her.
Alex and Dominque cuddling up with Brittney on the giant rocking chair.
We finally warmed up after some hot chocolate.
Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere.
Sheri and I had fun shuffling our kids all over this muddy place.
They have so many random would cut-outs all over the place. I love this one most.
Brittney was so cold, she pretty much stopped moving completely. I had to carry her for a good while until we got her some hot chocolate.
