Wrestling with Daddy

One of the girls favorite things to do with daddy

is wrestle. And since he has been gone for

the past 3 weeks it was due time.

All I have to say is I'm glad it's not me.

They can be pretty rough. But Brandon can

handle it.

They try so hard to beat up on Brandon

but he just sits there and laughs!

They like playing steam roller. Brandon is the

steam roller and the girls try to get out of his

way. Sierra plays it safe on the couch.

Halloween 2010

Brandon went out of town for work for 3 weeks

to Hawaii. Yes we were all jealous but more

so missed him like crazy. We are so happy to have

him back and not just because he brought us all

gifts back. The girls loved their hula skirts, and

necklaces. They played in them for days.

Brandon's flight was delayed 2 hours so we picked

him up at the airport at 11:00 pm. The girls

were so tired and fell asleep unable to say hi

to their Daddy. Paige was happy that Brandon

made it home for her last soccer game. The girls and I

just followed him around the house

all morning. We could not get enough of him.

We missed him so much.

And he missed us all too!

My sweet husband bought me cute earrings.

He totally knows my taste in jewelry.

And he got me the most beautiful Pearl

necklace. I absolutely love it!

Cutting it close don't you think? Brandon got

home just in time to carve pumpkins before

Halloween.

What cute, "3 Little Pigs". And one

darling, "Big Bad Wolf".

The Trunk Or Treat, right before it down poured.

Hallie and Riley

I thought after being drenched from the rain

the girls would want to stay home and bag

going out trick or treating. But I thought wrong.

Of course the girls thought it would be fun

to trick or treat at their own house.

The girls pumpkins.

Riley's, Paige's and Sierra's.

They all decided what they wanted their

Jack O lantern to look like.

Finally after everything we got to eat dinner

right before it was time to get ready for bed.

Yummy taco soup and corn bread.

It was so nice to have a family meal with

Brandon back home.

Bluff Ridge 5k

I wanted to help out at Riley's party

but I was a big late because my

car would not start. The Battery

was completely dead. So by the time I

had my brother in law come and jump

the car the party was about over. But

Riley had a good time. She is always

wanting me to help out and I would love

to like I did when she was in Kindergarten

but with a new baby it is hard to find

the right moment. Riley just loves her

teacher, Mrs. Edwards. And she is so excited

that her teacher is having a baby boy!

After the party we got ready for the 5k race

at Riley's school. This will be Riley's 2nd 5k and in

one years time.

Riley and her best friend Hallie.

While the girls ran the race we hung out

with the rock legend, "KISS".

A.K.A. Bro. Brett Coleman

The last 5k Riley ran with her dad and they

prepared but this race her dad was out of town

and I could never go running with her.

So she took her time running and walking the race

but eventually made it to the finish.

Riley and her friends held hands as they got closer

to the finish line. So cute!

I'm proud of her. That can be hard when your

not use to running.

Riley and some of her running buddies showing

off their cool necklace.

Baby Smiles!

One of my most favorite things are

when babies smile at you.

Special cute sweet ones like Owen.

He is getting bigger but this picture

makes him look a lot chubbier!

Preschool Halloween Party

Paige was so excited to go to her

school party! She laughed when

ever we talked about her cute piggy tail.

I think Paige is enjoying school better this year

not only because she is older but because

she has it with her best friends. Elsie and Riley.

Sierra enjoys school even though all morning

before she goes she says she does not want to.

I think she just gets nervous. But ends up

having a great time.

Happy Birthday Mom!

My mom came down from Idaho and while she

was here we celebrated her Birthday.

My girls got tired of waiting so they watched a little

T.V. on my bed. The T.V. even caught Owen's eye.

My mom picked Steak for her Birthday dinner.

Good choice mom!

These are all my mom's Grand kids.

My kids make up the majority of her grand children.

Madi, Sierra, Riley, Paige, Aidan, Owen and Emery

Owen loves to be held.

Too Much Hannah Montana in my home!

There is more to this story then this cute picture.

Brandon's parents took us to Arctic Circle to

grab a bite to eat. It was nice to get out and not have to

make dinner. I'm sure Lisa knew I need it with Brandon

being gone already 2 weeks. After dinner they let the

girls pick something fun to buy at the dollar store.

Paige and Sierra saw these cheap wigs and loved them.

Sierra wanted the green wig but we mentioned to Paige

that she looked like Hannah Montana and so Sierra

wanted a blond wig too. So after throwing a royal fit

I let her get a blond wig. It was not worth listening

to her cry all the way home for another lousy dollar. She gave

the green one to Riley who did not seem to care the color.

That night they danced and sang with their

wigs on. They used the T.V. and DVD remotes for

microphones and then they did a fashion show for me.

Everyone thinks Sierra is quite and timid. But not

at home when she is doing her favorite thing.

Dancing and Singing.

Sierra has always been good at memorizing lyrics.

She knows almost all the words. And she loves

dancing and singing to Hannah Montana!

Paige got into it too. Riley actually let me video her

which is surprising since she gets so embarrassed but

said I could not put it on the blog.

Camera Thief

On occasion, Riley stills my camera and I get

weird random pictures on my camera. But

this one is actually pretty decent. She said

that Owen was hugging her Teddy bear.

I was hoping before

Owen was born that he would have his

daddy's brown eyes, but I'm loving his big blues!

Soccer in the pouring Rain

This Fall we have been very lucky with

good warm weather for the girls to play

soccer in. So when it became a pour down

of rain we could not complain to bad.

Paige loved the size of her doughnut.

It is bigger than her head.

Don't think that Jill and I are bad moms by not

putting are girls in hats, gloves and sweaters in

the cold weather with pouring rain.

We did have them all bundled up. But they

claimed they were hot. Their hair was soaked.

And they slipped a few times on the grass, but

had a good time plying their last game.

Riley is in the Light pink jacket.

Night out with Friends

We went as a group of neighbors to

Black Island Farms.

The kids had a blast even though it got

a little chilly at night.

They thought they were so cool waiting for

all the others to come down the Big Black Slide.

Kali, Hallie, Paige, Lincoln, Riley, Elsie, Brakkin, Sydnee, Zion & Taebia

We all thought the corn maze would be easy

but after walking for a while and hitting

a dead end we gave up and cheated our way out.

It was a little tricky with my stroller but we

made it out. Shane helped sierra get some

corn and carried her all the way. Her little legs

could not keep up.

This was the only slide sierra was not afraid of.

Usually I would say, "me and my girls". But now

I've got my little Owen. He loved being all bundled

up in the stroller.

The Tidwells and Conines left so we went over to

the teeter tooter and corn box with the Kofoeds.

It looks like so much fun to be a kid!

Bed Time Stories

This was so sweet I could not help but snap a

picture. Riley reading the kids a bed time story.

Preschool Fieldtrip

Sierra and Paige had their Preschool Field Trip

at Black Island Farms.

Poor Sierra was getting over the Stomach flu and

was so exhausted. She slept the entire time there.

I let Riley skip school to come along.

Paige Picking out her pumpkin to take home.

Paige with her Preschool friends,

Riley and Elsie

I invited my sister and her family to come along.

Riley helping Maddie and Aidan down the slide.

I used my sisters stroller which was a life

saver. Sierra slept below on a little bed

while Owen loved chilling and watching everyone.

It looked so funny with Sierra's feet

hanging out below Owen. It looks like I have a

freak baby that is really tall.

My little Owen loved sitting up in the stroller and

to look around.

Sierra woke up when she heard us mention the

train. She loves it. But then she was too sick and

fell back a sleep.
