Halloween Jars

I made this cute gift for Emily's teacher I thought I would share. I found a bag of gumballs that looked like eyeballs at Family Dollar. I printed out these awesome labels at LoveManor. I put the eyeballs in a jar, used mod podge to glue on the label, and decorated the lid with cute Halloween ribbon. Emily was so excited to take it to school today!

Pumpkins and Poems

Emily's school was having their annual Pumpkins and Poems contest. The kids can submit a Halloween poem or a decorated pumpkin. Emily was very excited. She asked me everyday if I bought her a pumpkin yet. I finally did on Monday. We were going to work on it for family night, but Emily couldn't wait. So right when she got home we worked on it until dinner time. She was so proud of herself. I was proud of her too! She did everything by herself, except for painting the pumpkin white. Good luck, sweetie!

Fun at the Fair!

Took the girls to the Graham County Fair this month. Emily had a good time, She went once with daddy where she got to ride the rides, and then the next day she got to go with me and Lindsay. We only did two rides, but we looked at a lot of exhibits. Lindsay loved to look at the animals. Her favorite was the chickens. We had a good time together.

Here are the girls on one of the four-wheelers we had on display. Emily wants one sooooo bad, because it is pink! Lindsay didn't like sitting on it so I had to take this picture fast!

Just a few pictures of our little Lindsay! She is growing so fast! I am so grateful that this sweet baby is all ours! I can't imagine our family without her!

Let Me In!!! Fun time at Grandma's house!

New York New York!

We just returned from a fabulous trip to NYC! Palmer and I traveled with Robert and Alisha Montierth. We had a great time! It was nice to get away and spend time with my husband and my friends. Here we are at Times Square. It was amazing! There were so many people! We came here several times throughout our trip.

We went to see Wicked on Broadway. It was really good. We spotted these posters while heading to Grand Central Station to buy our subway tickets.

We were able to attend a session in the Manhattan Temple. It was really nice. As soon as you walked in, the hustle and bustle of the city disappeared.

We rented bikes to ride around. It was a lot of fun! We rode to the Brooklyn Bridge, through Little Italy, China Town and around South pier. What a blast!

We took a much needed rest while walking through Central Park. The weather was beautiful! I can't believe how big this park was!

Here we are at the top of the Empire State Building! 86 floors!

We also went to Connecticut for church, visited Ellis Island and the statue of Liberty. We ate at Tom's Restaurant (Seinfeld) and Lombardi's, the first Pizzeria in New York (1905). We did a little shopping and tried unsuccessfully to stay together while on the subway! We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History. We had a really great time on our trip. Thanks, Palmer and Robert, for doing all the planning and for the memories!
