1st day of Preschool

My sweet little girl started preschool. She loves learning, meeting and playing with new friends, and loves to pack her snacks. She was so happy to go to school. She had been talking about it for months. We started really late due to us moving, and then we were out of town for awhile, and then the school had a long fall break. She has now started, and loves every minute of it.
I sure love my sweet little girl! She is such a blessing in my life and is my best friend. I love her to pieces!

Gardner Village

I tried to squeeze in a lot of fun Halloween activities while we were in Utah. One day meant that we were going to Gardner Village to see the witches. Lately, Nissa has been obsessed with witches. Good witches, and bad witches. The good witches are nice and come visit her, and the bad witches are bad and don't obey. Its quite the funny little obsession. Zeke, Nissa, and Aunt Toria. We were happy that Toria could use her lunch break to join us for a little outing.

Kat didn't know what to think about the witches.

This little one has funny little quirks, like sticking her finger in her nose, for no reason at all. She's a funny little person.

Nissa was so excited to see a witch that had a pet frog. She insisted on a picture.

Nissa thought it was hilarious that there would be a witch sitting in the out house.

Since she has been into posing for pictures, she wanted pictures with Mumma.

Nissa loved the witches.

Wheeler Farm with Cute Cousins

While we were in Utah, we were able to get together with some of the Olsen cousins. Granny O arranged for us to meet at Wheeler Farm. My girls were thrilled to see the animals, have a ride on the hay ride, and get pumpkins. Thanks for a great time.

Nissa was such a sweet girl to Zoe. These two little ones really connected and you can see they really love each other. I just love this picture. Nissa was thrilled to be such a big helper to her little sis, and to Zoe.

I love this little bum shot of Kat, Nissa, and Zoe.

Sweet, cute little girls.

Thanks for such a fabulous time we had a wonderful time.

1st Time Fishing!

Our quick and spontaneous decision turned out to be quite a surprise for one of my favorite persons. It happened to be Gabi's birthday the day we were driving, so I kept it a secret that were coming. We arrived late that night. Knocked on the door at 11:00 or so, and had Gabi answer the door. I arranged this all with my mom and Victoria. Gabi answered the door, and was as shocked as she could be. Gabi started crying, which then caused me to start crying. It was really touching, and I so happy we could surprise her like that.

The next day that we were there, we pretty much took naps all day. I was exhausted. The Saturday that we there, my dad had planned a ward activity to go fishing. I was so excited. I couldn't wait to share such a fun activity with my girls. I loved fishing when I was little.

Kat was unsure what to think.

Gabi ended up catching the biggest fish. She fell in love with fishing. She had never been before, and was in heaven.

Before we left, we saw these cute little carts that led to a mine. So, we thought, lets snap some pictures. Nissa has now started to pose for the camera. A little unsure where she learned how to pose like that. Funny little thing.

She really got into posing. She is such a funny little person.

1st Snow!!!

We were so happy to have my aunt Laura and her darling kids, Braxton and Lilly come to visit. The snow greeted them with a warm welcome or should I say cool. It snowed all day Saturday, but we had tons of fun. We went to the Natural History Museum, some fabulous toy stores, the Old Spaghetti Factory. We had a wonderful time with them and are so grateful that they got to come visit.Braxton and Nissa
Kat wasn't sure what to think about it.

Pure happiness was on this little ones face. She loves the snow!

All the little ones.

Lilly, Braxton, Nissa, and Kat

Kat sure loved Braxton. The whole time they were here she said his name over and over. She adored him!

We had so much fun having them visit. We just couldn't get enough of them, that we decided to drive back to Utah with them!
