Heart ace for thanksgiving

Bella is gone for Thanksgiving and I am barley hanging on.
Kenny and I have been going back and forth through e-mails about this weeks schedule, all week. He should have Bella overnight and during the day tomorrow for Thanksgiving, but he said he will not be returning her until Sunday.
Oh it hurts! I miss her so much. She cried all the way to Kenny's. She said she never she tells him she misses me and wants to go home that he just says matter of factly "This is your home, I'm your daddy I love you and we need to spend time together".
She sent me 2 sweet text messages tonight but must have found out because he took the phone away. I bet she is so sad, which breaks my heart. He's trying t force this relationship on her and he's pushing too hard.
At least she still has the journal  hopefully he doesn't find it. It's the only way she has to communicate with me. But I have made copies for Rob, even if he does find it.
I miss her so much and so do the girls. This is going to be so hard on her. 4 nights and 5 days is too much especially since we are supost to be following what the commissioner said has happened in the last 7 years. So I guess I just pray like crazy that she's safe and then we file a motion that he was in contempt next week.
She's an amazing little girl and I know Heavenly Father and angles on the other side are watching out for her and taking care of her. She has so much ahead of her and Kenny is only hurting himself in the long run.

Utah game...sort of

Seth and the girls got so excited to go to the Utah basketball game but when they got there they realized it was the wrong day. 

Oh well, they got ice cream and still had a fun daddy daughter date.

Syd's Special Day

On Saturday Syd was the only one who wanted to go shopping with me. She loved being the only one and having her own cart. She was such a good helper!

Claire's Sleepover

Claire called grandpa and asked every day for 2 weeks if she could have a sleepover with grandpa. He finally said yes and she had a great time. In fact right before he came to get her she was in the kitchen doing jumping jacks and running around in circles because she couldn't calm down.

She played with grandmas ipad, took a bath and read stories with grandpa. She was in heaven. Then the next morning she got to go with Luke and Bella to grandparents and goodies at the school. 

Enjoying the leaves

I didn't get very many good shots. But I recorded a lot. They had so much fun and I'm glad we finally did it because it snowed the next day. I laughed because every time Bella or Claire would jump off the slide they would plug their nose. Bella said she was pretending she was jumping into a pool and Claire just copied Bella. The twins loved it too!

Twins visit the dentist

Syd and Bre had their first trip to the dentist. Cute Syd was too scared and sat on my lap when I first tried to take a picture she did this.

Bre was brave and hopped right up when it was her turn.

They both had no cavities and great teeth.

Bella and Claire were great helpers.

Happy Halloween 2012

Oh how I love Halloween!! I love that everyone in my family will participate in my group idea. I don't know how much longer this will last but I love every minute of it.

We took our usual visits to see grandma's and grandpa at work. And just like usual grandpa's work gave everyone enough candy that they didn't need to go out that night, but of course we did!
