Halloween!

Of course I have to join the ranks of mommies doing the obligatory Halloween costume post today.


Maija was Princess Tiana

Brielle was "Ariel when she was a mermaid" (As opposed to Ariel when she wasn't a mermaid....people might get confused you know....)

Levi was a frog, but he wouldn't wear the head part of the costume.  He was supposed to be a frog prince to go along with Maija's costume....but I didn't want to sew anymore.  He was awesome at Trick or Treating.  After collecting all sorts of candy- Dad took the girls to a haunted house- which was, according to Brielle, "only a little bit scary."

Happy Halloween!

New Toy!

Dad built a new sandbox.  We had one in Albuquerque that the girls loved to play in.  Ben doubled the size this time.  It might take us a little while to fill it full of sand.  All 3 kids LOVE playing in the sandbox.  We are having a few lessons about brushing off your clothes before coming in the house.  :)

Come over and play!

Love this place....

Have I told any of you how much I love my house?  Especially the location.  Sure, there aren't other kids to play with, and we are the furthest out in our ward- but I LOVE seeing this each time I pull into the driveway (which is about 4 times a day)

I don't think I will ever tire of my red trees.  They get so bright- I've never loved fall so much!

We also have some friends here that have been living with us.....under the deck

Finished!

I finally finished this quilt I've been working on for Ben's neice Ashley.  I loved the pattern and wanted to try it out- and then I fell in love with this fabric.  It was quite the project- but I'd say not too bad for my FIRST real quilt!

( I know the picture is sideways- but that is the way its supposed to go anyway- so I'm not going to fix it.)

What are YOU working on?
