Happy Birthday Malissa!

Happy Birthday Malissa! Malissa is a very caring person! She is a so good with her little sister and she is always thinking about other people. You can always find her in a corner reading and she has a few stories that she has written. We love her smile and we are so happy to have her in our family! We love you Malissa!

Dollhouse Festival

I took Emma, Malissa and Claire to a Dollhouse Festival this weekend. We had a great time looking at all the dollhouses. Emma and Malissa are standing next to their favorite house. Malissa and Claire also had fun having their faces painted by a very talented lady! Last week my girls came up with an idea to make dresses out of tissue paper for their Liv dolls. I thought it was pretty creative and was wishing that I had thought of that idea when I was young.

Fall Sports

I got a shot of Luke scoring. What a great game for him!

Emma finished soccer this week while Luke continues Lacrosse. We saw some real improvements with each of our kids this season and we have enjoyed watching their teams play in great weather!

A monkey and a mommy

Yesterday I took a picture of my cute little nephew in his Halloween costume. He's such a cutie!

I also took a picture of a future mommy.

Blueberry Blast Smoothie

Malissa wanted to make this smoothie all by herself. It's a great healthy recipe! Check it out.

Blueberry Blast Smoothie
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1 cup of frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon of honey ( I like to add a Tablespoon for a sweeter taste)

Blend until smooth.

Coloring in a straight line

Claire loves to line everything up. When she colors she has to line up all the crayons in a straight line and then makes little lines with her crayons. I wanted to capture her in her moment of coloring. I loved her little hand gently placing the crayons onto the paper. These are the moments that love to remember.

A New Addition to the Family....

Josh's brother Seth got married over Labor Day weekend to Allison. We love her! We are happy to have her in our family! They are such a cute couple! We loved her dress and her bouquet. It was a beautiful day!

Over Labor Day weekend we also had cousins come over for a sleepover. A sleepover wouldn't be complete without a girl spa that consisted of a pedicure, a shampoo, hair done and pictures. It was fun having them come!
