Happy Birthday!

Today is Porter's 33rd birthday. I know it probably won't be much of a birthday because he has to work and then work on the house tomorrow, so he won't be doing anything fun. I just wanted to tell him Happy Birthday and that I love him so much!

First Snow

Once the girls saw that it had snowed they were both so excited. I had to go get their boots, gloves, and coats out of storage. I thought we would be in our house by now so I didn't bother to keep any of their winter stuff out. So after an hour of digging through boxes I found their stuff and then they just had to get out and play in the snow. Rylie made this little snowman all by herself. She rolled out the balls and all I had to do was stack them. She also decorated it all by herself. I like the snow sometimes but I hope it melts and doesn't come back until we are in our house because I would hate to move everything in the snow. The girls love it though. Rylie cried when she saw that it had melted in town because she thought it had melted up the canyon too, unfortunately it didn't.

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween was a busy one. Brynlie was so excited to be a bumble bee that she asked to wear it everyday. Then on Halloween when she finally got to wear it she was mad and didn't want to wear it. Which is why she looks so grumpy in the first picture. After we went and picked Rylie up from school and she saw that Rylie was wearing her Princess Fiona costume, then she started to cheer up.


We took the girls to Logan and took them to a couple of grocery stores that have the kids go around to all the departments to get candy. They got quite a bit of candy just from that. Then we went to a few other places to run errands and they got stuff at all of those stores too.
After Logan we went to my parents house to have pizza and to take the kids around the neighborhood for some old fashioned trick or treating. Their cousin Jared was there and they were pretty excited about that. My dad got a webcam and the kids got to talk and see Lannah and Maelee in California. It was kind of weird not having everyone here for Halloween. The kids had so much fun going around the neighborhood trick or treating. Rylie and Jared were so excited that they were running from house to house and poor Brynlie was trying her hardest to catch up to them. Rylie would go up to the house and ring the doorbell and then Brynlie would get up there and ring it over and over until they answered the door. She has an obsession with ringing doorbells. We had to remind her at every house after that to not ring the doorbell. After about a block and a half Brynlie said to me "This is fun, I love twick or tweating!" We kept going until Rylie's bag broke and she had a meltdown. That was when we decided it was time to stop. After we left my parents we stopped off to see Grandma June and then we went up to Cub River to go to our wards' Trunk or Treat. The kids got so much candy and other things I couldn't believe it. I've definatly have had to limit their candy intake. Porter and I haven't minded taking some of it off their hands. So, it was a very good Halloween and the girls were pretty good for the most part minus a few meltdowns.
