November 2012

 Playing dress up with Mom's shirts, pajamas, and high heels.

We were driving down the street, and Elayna says, " I want a popsicle carrot." "What?--you mean an icicle?" "Oh yeah, but I'm going to call them popsicle carrots."  Nov 13, 2012


Annalisa just playing on the floor:

Snowsuits and snow:

These girls sure love each other

Wearing way too big boots

Anna said "ou" for out, "on", and "buh" while pointing at her boot this morning. Ryan has been teaching her to nod her head by putting his hand on her head and trying to nod it for her so now she puts her hand on her head and tries to nod it herself when I ask her a question.

Katie did her own hair this day, and they wanted to get all dressed up. Katie has about 10 flowers in her hair, so it looks like a headband of flowers. Such pretty girls!

Again with lots of flowers. As long as they let me brush their hair, I don't care how many flowers they want in it. I'm just glad it is brushed. 

This was so funny. She was walking around, banging her shoes on her head. I took a picture, then asked her to stop.

Such a cutie! 

We were at JCPenney's getting our family pictures taken. Katie and Elayna were watching a movie while we waited. They have such good expressions while watching movies. Especially Elayna. She looks so concerned. I love how Katie looks like she is about to smile, and Elayna is all worried.

We ate dinner with my family for Thanksgiving. Ryan, Jay, Jacob, and Junior played some foosball.  Anna was refereeing. 

Preparing for Christmas!

Making a gingerbread house:

Finished product: 

Annalisa didn't have clothes on, because they got covered in frosting. :) 

Ryan, diligently hanging lights. He really enjoys decorating with Christmas lights, which is tons of fun. The girls love to see the lights as we drive up to the house at night. 

Decorating the tree. I would hand out ornaments, and they would put them on the tree. They do a good job. Ryan puts up the higher ones, but Katie and Elayna are pretty skilled at spacing the ornaments. Sometimes I find 4 on one branch, or all the same ornaments together, but it makes it fun. I love that we can do this together as a family.

 Katie hit her hand, and it got all swollen. I was a little worried about it, but after consulting my in house physicians (Michael and Clarissa), we decided ice and time would make it better.

We were at the dentist office. They have a little play area. I looked over, and saw Annalisa doing this pose. It was so adorable! 

Speaking of adorable..... I love this laugh! She giggles after each time she blows bubbles.

Fall leaf Pictures

Picking up leaves....

 And throwing them in the air!

Endless fun!

Throwing Anna in:

Throwing Katie in: 

My cuties!  They had so much fun playing in the leaves. The buried each other, hid gloves, threw leaves, jumped in leaves, etc. They had a ball! It was such a perfect day to play. 

October 2012

 Elayna's class also went on a field trip to Payson Grotto. Here is her class:

This is how Annalisa looked most of the time:

My cute little Layna girl: 

Annalisa wasn't quite sure how she felt about sitting on this rock. I think they are also eating cookies, maybe that is why both of them have funny expressions. 

Elayna was really sick tonight. She came in bed with me. She was really hot so she was taking off her tights, but she was worried that I would see her underwear. 10-5-12.

Anna put a black Barbie shoe on the floor and tried to put her foot in it. It was a male shoe-so it was bigger than normal. Maybe that's why she thought her foot would fit in it? Then she called for daddy. She thought it was his work shoe. 10-2-12

Annalisa with cute pink sunglasses on:

Conference time at the Bowman's house: 

Anna's hair is long enough to put in a little ponytail. So cute! 

Same sunglasses on Elayna. They both love posing for pictures.

Elayna is sick. She wanted to play with "someone". I told her she could play with Anna, and she said "someone- 4, or 3?"

Gracie and Elayna were talking about Jesus. "He died, then some people put him in a bed, then he wasn't dead anymore!"--Elayna. 10-19-12


Isn't this a cute picture of my beautiful girls?

Elayna, washcloth on her head, vacuum in her hand. Ready to work!

Elayna's pirate pumpkin. Again, love the wink! 

GG had a tea party for these 4 girls. They had fun playing with the little dishes and little food. 

Annalisa got to come too, but she wanted to eat on the floor:
