Happy Halloween!

We had a happy halloween full of trick or treating and fun with family and friends. Our neighborhood is a big deal on Halloween with usually over a thousand trick or treaters coming to our neighborhood. It is lots of fun! Lilly was REALLY into it this year. She was excited and very prepared!

Sadly poor Vivi who is usually so happy is getting 5 new teeth this week so she was pretty miserable the whole time and constantly drooling. Poor sweet baby did not enjoy Halloween as much as everyone else.

Here we are ready for trick or treating. Our precious princess and darling baby witch.

Vivi enjoying a lollipop, it was the only thing that took her focus on the awful teething pain.

Flashback Friday - Sweet Miss Vivi

One year ago we welcomed darling miss Vivian into our family. She is a lovely little girl and we all adore her. It is hard to believe a year has come and gone so quickly. She is so much bigger now and constantly has new tricks and talents and is very proud when she does something cool.

Heres our little love bug.

And her she was a year ago as a teeny tiny little baby. We LOVE you baby Vivi!

Happy First Birthday Vivian!

Our beautiful and sweet little baby Vivian is ONE today! She is a darling and happy little girl who brings so much joy to our lives. Here are some pictures from her big day!

Enjoying an even more impressive cupcake (and no we did not let her eat the whole thing!)

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

The girls had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch a few weekends ago. They are just such cute and sweet little girls! We had a fun time watching them enjoy the pumpkin patch outing.

Here they are getting ready to go. Lilly would not be convinced to wear a more practical outfit and was determined to wear a tutu. She is "Tutu Lilly!"

Vivi checking out the animals. She isn't quite walking yet but likes to stand holding onto things.

Lilly on her first pony ride. She was thrilled!

Vivi was less thrilled by the pony and clung to Mama.

Posing with the pumpkins in her festive tutu.

Clapping (her signature move these days) for the pumpkins.

Sweet miss Vivi, what a cute little face!

Lion King Birthday Party

Lilly had the ultimate 3 year old Lion King Birthday Party. We had 27 adults, 16 kids and 3 babies in our little downstairs area. We turned the garage into a jungle with vines, a jungle hut, reading corner with all her lions and so much more! Not to mention a bunch of fun toddler activities like pin the tail on the lion, jungle sound toss, a lion shaped pinata, bean bag toss and a plethera of toys in the garage play area. She even had a couple of her daycare buddies show up to celebrate with her. It was an awesome time!

We didn't get a ton of pictures, sadly, but her is her awesome lion cake Ryan made and her smiling as big as possible. She was VERY happy with her Lion King party!

Birthday Girl! She's THREE!

Lilly turned 3 a couple weeks ago and it has been so crazy busy with school, work and all things birthday I am finally getting around to posting some pictures. Here she is on her birthday. She wanted her hair to be done in a bun like princess Cinderella again. She was super excited to go to school in her birthday outfit and take cupcakes to share with her friends!

I just can't believe she is already 3 years old, it has just gone too crazy fast! She is such a sweet, happy and energetic little girl. She is also finally potty trained after turning 3 and moving up to the big pre-school class!

On her birthday we took her to a concert to see an alternative music band called "Cake." A perfect name for a concert you see on your birthday! Vivi stayed with the grandparents overnight so it was a special treat to have some time away from her sister.

Dancing PRIOR to the start of the music. She danced SO much!

Being silly on the grass.

More silly girl pictures.

Sweet little girl.

Having a great time at the concert, she ROCKED out!

More Camping!

We took a second camping trip to a near bye KOA that had lots of amenities including a pool! It was warm and lovely and the girls had a great time!

SMORES! The main point of camping for Lilly.

Vivi enjoyed her first smore!

Camping was too exciting, Vivi just couldn't sleep!

Lilly loved the new family sized tent.

A lot more room for the pack n play and dancing around!

Going hiking. We got lost and ended up walking along a train track and seeing a big train, Vivi slept most of the way, she loves the front pack!
