Tink's Halloween Birthday Party

This year for her birthday, Tink decided that she wanted to have a Halloween party. I was very excited about this because I love fall and Halloween! Also, I thought it would be good to have a theme that wasn't quite so girly since she was inviting quite a few boys to her party. She had a great time helping me plan the activities and design the invitations and get everything ready. I think she had a really fun time at her party, too!

I can't believe my little girl is already 6!!! She is an amazing girl with a great thirst for knowledge that I hope I am helping her to gain. She has a wonderful personality and is very independent. She loves building things: tents, forts, houses, etc. out of anything and everything. She has just recently discovered Legos and has a blast building with them. She loves making new friends but always reminds me how much she misses her old friends. She loves to create her own outfits and is learning to sew a little bit. She has made a purse and a Tooth Fairy pillow. She plans to make pillows for her brother and sister for Christmas. She loves tacos, pizza, and pasta. She likes to eat lots of fruits and veggies. Her favorite color changes almost daily. Today it is pink. She is learning to read and getting better at it as long as she focuses on what she's reading and not getting distracted.

Scooping for Apples--This was much easier for the kids than bobbing for apples. They each picked a number from a bowl and had to scoop apples until they found the apple with the same number as their paper.







Yummy apples!

Making Oreo Spiders


Pumpkin Marshmallow Races (Just like Egg Spoon Races, but marshmallows are more difficult, more fun and much less messy!)


Pateetee just kept going...

Love these two action shots!

Decorating cupcakes--I gave the kids some candies to decorate their cupcakes however they wanted.

I told you she loves Legos!

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
