Spooktacular Program

Sarah had her Halloween program on Thursday. She was excited to get to dress up and show her teachers and her friends her costume.

Sarah did not really participate in the performance until they all yelled BOO!

Sarah kept her eyes on Daddy she was excited he was there.

Some of Sarah's adoring fans. Thank you all for coming to see Sarah she wanted to go home and play with everyone after the program.

Sarah's teacher and her were twinkies.

After the program the kids enjoyed the fall festival. Sarah's favorite part was the face painting. I helped at the festival and Sarah keeps saying "Do you remember how you helped make ghosts at my school mom?"

Samuel's First Birthday

We celebrated Samuel's First Birthday last weekend. He is such a fun little boy that adds a lot of joy and love to our family. The party was a lot of fun, my girls always get excited when there are presents to be opened and cake to eat.

Aunt Ashley painted faces.

Aunt Lindsey and Aunt Melissa pose for a picture.

The birthday boy.

I can't figure out how to rotate this picture but here is a picture of the cake Ashley made Samuel. I am so jealous of all her creative gifts.

Two Wheels

Abigail learned to ride her bike in two days within about 20-30 mins combined. She is very proud of herself as are we of her. Everyday she comes home from school and wants to ride her bike. I think she feels independent and confident without her training wheels.

Hold on

This picture melts my heart. Josh found a bike trailer at a garage sale and he took the girls on a ride around the neighborhood. When we put Anna in the trailer she was giddy and wrapped her chubby fingers around her big sister's arm. I hope they can always be there for each other in the future.

Visit From Family and Daddy's Birthday

We had my grandparents, 2 aunts and 1 of my cousins come and visit last weekend. It was a lot of fun with beautiful weather.

Anna and Great Paw Paw Laurent

We also celebrated Josh being home from China and his 3oth birthday. It was so good to have Josh home. Sarah kept asking if he was going to spend the night at her house. Two weeks is way too long without him.

Aunt Emily came into town to join in on all the festivities. The girls were so excited.

This was the best picture we could get of the Great Grandparents with all of the Oklahoma grandchildren.

We had a busy but fun filled weekend.

Anna is 6 months

Anna turned six months old on the 22nd. She is growing so fast. She is so curious that she is always moving to find the source of the noise she is hearing, so much so she doesn't have time to eat. I think she is tired of people telling her she is huge so she is now watching her weight and not really eating more than 3 oz at a time. Anna sits up very well and will roll to try to reach any item. She likes to suck her lips and smacks them which makes her look a little like a monkey. Anna is easy to make smile and she lights up the room with it. I can't wait to see how her personality blossoms.
