Every year Carolyn (my mom-in-law) and her friend Candy get all dressed up in coordinated costumes and hit the neighborhood for some trick-or-treating.  The neighbors look forward to their visit, and their always the talk of the neighborhood the next day.

This Girl...

....Is by far my most favorite girl on the planet.  Maybe in all creation. I just can't believe she turned 4 this year! I am already finding myself looking for ways to slow down the time before I loose her to school next year.  She is a great helper, a fantastic snuggler, and my buddy all day every day.  Here's a little more about my favorite girl.  She.....

Loves to eat
(In any and all types of clothing/costuming)



Loves to read...

Loves her Daddy

Loves to try new things...



Loves to pretend she has makeup...

Loves good friends and dirty dirt



Is all about carseat safety

Did I mention she loves to read?

Looooooves Princesses

Had her 4th birthday up at The Ranch!

And did I mention she likes to dance?  Especially if it involves goggles.  I love this girl.  Can you blame me?

Conference Sunday.... A Day of Rest?



Breakfast is Served!

7:00 am-  Gavin served himself breakfast in his room.  He must have been famished, because he emptied 2 super-sized, unopened boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats onto his floor.  I'm just lucky I caught him before he added milk...

12:30 pm- Aliyah and Gavin went crazy with the Crayons I had gotten out for them to use on their Conference coloring books. 

They tagged the:

kitchen tile and wall,

the banister,

the hallway door,

the hallway,

the TV,

the armoir,

the table,

and a dresser. 

Mr. Clean is my best friend.  

1:30 pm- Having not caused mayhem for an entire 30 minutes, Aliyah and Gavin decided to see what an overdose of Prevacid feels like.  They dug into the depths of the storage, found an old bag I didn't even remember having and ate all the medicine inside.    Poison Control is also my best friend. I've got them on speed dial.

2:00 pm- We evacuated the house before it became a crime scene.  A short drive up the canyon, and

Aaaahhhh......

I love this state.

P.S.  Listening to Conference in the car where it's normal to restrain your children is a blessing.  Nough said.
