Pedicures

So if you have little girls, you have to do at-home pedicures. The girls just beam when getting their nails done. I kept calling them "little ladies." You know, "little lady, what color do you want" etc.... Maddie then told me, "Little lady, I sure lub you berry much!" Too cute! Of course their feet looked and smelled great for about 10 minutes before trecking through the sand and mud in the backyard, oh well!

A day at the park

We took advantage of the weather today and headed to the park. I'm hoping to get some updated pics of the girls for the frames in our house. Since having #3, pictures just don't happen very often, and I remember why now after trying to get a 8 month old, 2 year old, and 5 year old to all look in the same direction and smile. We did manage to get a few cute ones though!

AZ weather is the best!! (4 months out of the year)

Todd took the big girls camping last weekend. They had a great time riding quads. It's amazing to watch Rylee hop on her own quad and take off, probably the scariest thing I have had to watch as a mom. She is like a little Evil Kanevil, swerving in and out of trees/bushes/cacti. They had a blast!

I took the girls to the zoo yesterday, with our friends and the rest of AZ since it was Veterans Day. They had a great time and were totally worn out at the end of the day, which meant great naps...woohoo! I love those days!

Rylee pretending to be...um...some sort of animal that lives in trees, I really don't

remember...

Maddie was thrilled to brush the goats. When I told her we were going to go to the

zoo, she kept yelling "I wanna see sheep!" her dream came true, the petting zoo was her

favorite.

Rylee's First Race

I decided this year that I would sign up for races that have Kid's dashes for Rylee. This past weekend was the first one, and Rylee had a blast. My friend Paige and I ran the big people's race, and our girls ran in the kids dash afterwards. It was too fun watching the kids race. She was in the 3-7 year old dash, and about 4 of the kids kept tripping and falling. They were so excited to be racing with people standing on the sidelines screaming, that they just got back up and kept going. The channel 12 News cameras were recording the little ones. It was a great experience for our little perfectionist. She asked about a million times "what will happen if I don't win" and we kept explaining that we run to stay healthy, not to win. Well she did a great job and was thrilled just to be a part of it and to get a T-shirt that matches mom's. And too funny, when I was done running and was again re-iterating to Rylee that the point of running is to be healthy, I lost Todd. I quickly realized that there was a silent auction table, so of course he would be there. Come to find out, he bid on and won a fryer. Great.....it's gonna take alot more running to work that off!

Dorothy and a beautiful princess had fun at Halloween! Maddie (princess) loved the fact that people gave her candy, and decided that while people were in the giving spirit, she would see what else she could get. She asked one man for his dog "I hab you doggy too please?" and one man for his baby "I please hab you baby?" Needless to say, she just came home with candy. Our friends came over and went trick or treating too, and the kids stayed up till all hours of the night (well, 10pm), on a great sugar high!


Kennedie was in bed by 5:45pm, so no trick or treating for her. I realized that I don't have any Halloween pictures of her this year. So....just picture the little cutie above in a chili pepper costume, pretty cute, huh?
