O playing it cool!

We went to this cute little pumpkin patch that has little wheel barrows for the kids. The girls picked out their pumpkins and can't wait to carve them!

Herriman Fire

So a few weeks ago, there was a fire here in Herriman...I'm sure you have all heard about it by now, but here are some pictures from my neighborhood.

This picture is actually taken from a lot further away, but I thought it was a cool pic.

View from my street.

This house on the hill we were sure was going to burn down!

Here is that same house the next day! Isn't that amazing?

Picture Day!!

Picture day, at school, was last week. I always have such a hard time trying to decide what to have them wear. I thought I could have K in that same green dress we had from family pictures. The shirt I bought for O was kind of boring because she had a fun skirt for family pictures. So I went and got O a new dress, but then K's looked too plain, so I put a flower I had in my drawer on it....well, I think it worked....What do you think? Remember I can always get retakes, so be honest!

Time for a Change!

It never fails, this time of year I always want to change my house! I love to decorate and have some kind of fun project to tackle. This time I painted! I think paint is one of the most dramatic changes for the least amount of money!! I LOVE IT!

K has Braces!!

K has Braces!! She is very excited to be the first of all of her friends to have braces..... I'm going with that because I know very soon she will hate them! hahaha! Everyone asks if she is too young to have braces, but she actually needs them now because she has a deep bite. One of her bottom teeth is preventing a tooth on top from coming in. blah blah blah. I used to work in Otho, so I had a pretty good idea that something was going on and we needed to get her in. Anyway, WAHOO for Braces!!! And WAHOO for Dr. Richards!! (I used to work for him before having kiddos!) Here's to a beautiful SMILE!Here we go!

O's First Day of Kindergarten!

My little O has started Kindergarten! I can't believe how big my baby is! O is a carefree, spunky, gorgeous girl. She is always trying to make others laugh. She is definitely going to be the class clown! (heaven help her teacher!) hahaha!!! She is also a very compassionate child with a heart the size of Texas. I love you Peanut! Have a fantastic year! The O sporting her new backpack!
O working hard on her 1st day!

I was invited to her 1st day. We visited a few different stations where there were different projects. One was her hand print!

Where did the time go?

Yes, I cried!

K's first day of 2nd grade!

I can't believe how big my little girl is! K started 2nd grade this year! She is such a fun, vibrant, beautiful girl. She is my little go getter! She is always doing what she is supposed to, and mothering all who aren't! She is perfect in so many ways! I love you Bug! Have an awesome year!

K's 1st day of 2nd grade!

Cute sisters!
K the studious student!
