Thanksgiving Pies!

Ok so I just finished my Thanksgiving pies. Here they are! I still have the Apple Raspeberry Crumble in the oven so stay tuned for that!

The Big Girls are getting BIGGER!

Ever since I got my hair cut, the big girls have been PLEADING to get thiers cut too. While I was growing up (although mom wont admit to it now) we werent allowed to touch our hair at all! (or get our ears pierced) I remember being so mad everytime I saw my friends at school with cute new do's. So after a bit of tinking about it, I decided that I wanted my girls to be able to decide how they wanted thier hair-within reason. So last night after church we went to Rachels and did it!

Kylee was so excited but the other kids were watching Ratatuille (I know its spelled wrong but I am just glad I didnt spell it the way it sounds and slaughter it) so she kept asking if she could get down and watch the movie yet. She was so funny, Sol had to hold her head straight, everytime we get her hair cut she turns into a floppy rag doll.So while Sol held her head, I took pics. I didnt have my camera so all the ones of the actual cut are from my camera phone.




The Second we finished Kylee we were all Ooohing and Awwwing and I turn around and Chels is right there in the chair. We hadnt planned on getting hers done tonight since it was a school night and her hair isnt quite the rockstar,awesome hair like Kylees but once she was there, Rachel couldnt say no to her so I said why not, go ahead! She was so good Sol didnt have to hold her head at all. She was so relaxed but stiff, shes definately like her mama and LOVES to get her hair done and blow dried!

So, here we go.

BEFORE:( I just so happened to be taking pics before Church yesterday, Kylee took the pic of me and Chels so thats why its kinda crazy! :) )






AFTER:

Christmas....DONE!

Ok I am feeling WAAY accomplished today and had to share. So I just realized that Christmas is DONE, completly 100%, no more figuring out presents, Done!

All the presents from Santa are bought. That in itself is awesome due to the mere fact that between all my selling on ebay and my Scentsy sales I have paid for every Chrismtas present for the kids by myself! And it will probably be the best Christmas the kids have had yet.



We go "home" to Arizona every Christmas since we have not lived there, While we were living in Texas we drove home with Kylee 9 months old and I was 4 or 5 months pregnant with Chelsea. We even brought our dog that we had at the time! We decided that if we wanted to go back to Arizona this year we would have to drive and we are desperate enough to see our families that we are going to do it. So Santa is bringing the girls two new portable DVD players, some new movies, and a ton of other quiet, car friendly, ear phone using toys to keep them occupied on the 23-25 hour drive to Grammys house.


I was also able to pay for a room in Oklahoma City to stop at. I got on Priceline and got a room at the Hyatt for $45! Yes, I am excited about that too, not only was I able to pay for it myself, its the Freakin Hyatt!

All the presents for Grammy and Papa (both sets of them) are done, the gifts for the girls school teachers are done, and the gas money for the trip is figured out. All I gotta do now is wrap my butt off and get my Tree out and up! YAY! I am starting to feel not quite so overwhelmed by the whole Christmas thing and then a treck across the US!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Happy Birthday to Me! Yup, As of November 3 I am a whole quarter of a century old. I threw myself a birthday party and bought my own birthday cake with complete my favorite Blue Bell ice cream. Sol got me a ipod player today for my car for my present. Yes I feel old!

Happy Veterans Day

For Spirit day yesterday they asked all the kids to wear anything red, white or blue. Now, normally I have the kids clothes laid out for the entire week so if they are trying to do spirit day and it doesnt work out, Sorry! But Chels was so adament on wearing the colors and was in her closet trying to find them herself that I decided to be a nice mom for a change and let her participate. So this is what we came up with.

Chelseas ABC Award

Chels was awarded the ABC Award for her grade for October and I got to go to a ceremony for it on Thursday. She was so proud (I think I was even more proud if thats even possible) and looked she looked so stinkin cute, I had a hard time not embarassing her by hugging and kissing her the whole time. She also requested a picture taken with her teachers, Ms Connor and Ms Byrum and her best friend in class, Connor.

The Big Girls' School Pictures

We got these back a while ago but I never got around to scanning them till now! So here they are. Chels has a big gash on her head from when she split it open swinging the dog leash around. She was very proud of it and just wanted to take pics of it and send it out-VERY CHELSEA! I told Kylee to make sure she smiled pretty since she gets some pretty funny smiles when she knows someones taking a picture. Anyways, here they are!

Another Tag

My sister tagged me so here I go. You have to find the 5th picture in your 5th folder. Here is mine:


Its baby Chelsea, 9 months old at Kylees 2nd birthday party. She was just learning how to pull up on stuff and thinking she was hot stuff! Aww, I miss my baby babies. I need another one! :)

I tag: Whitney, Becca (either one), Abby, Margarite (I know shes gonna have a good one, shes always taking cool pics!)and Shaina

Honeysuckle Hill Farm pt.2

This pas Wednesday I went with Kylee to the pumpkin patch. It was soooo cold! I had Kylee all bundled up-she had 3 jackets, 1 long sleeve, 1 short sleeve shirt, knee high socks with her snow boots. I couldnt get the hot chocolate fast enough! At the end since all the adults had to drive thier own vehicles the teachers said if we wanted to we could check out our kids and just go home instead of having to meet at the school. I asked Kylee if she wanted to come with me or ride on the school bus and she didnt even have to think about it. "No, thanks, I am going to ride the bus because its cool!" Thanks Kylee, that was a serious ego-boost right there! :)

Move Over Martha Stewart!

Ok I was too excited and proud of my treats I made for the girls to take into thier classes. They were just as excited to take them in as I was to make them!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We went trick or treating with the crew last night. Tim had the best costume, I didnt even recognize him until he started talking! Emma kept saying "HAPPY CAL-OWEEN!" and Kylee was having fun karate chopping everything and everyone in sight. Chels was so excited to have a crown and wear her slippers.
