Halloween Pictures

I'm Back!! Well it has been a crazy few months, but I am fianally posting some pictures. I know Halloween was awhile ago but here is what the girls looked like.





Alyssa was a beautiful Sleeping Beauty.

Kalley made a perfect little Tinker Bell.


For Daycare I didn't trust Kalley wearing her nice Tinker Bell costume so she went as a Barbie Ballerina. Here she is with my cousins little boy who went as Spiderman.

First Day at School!

Monday was Alyssa's first day of kindergarten. All morning she said she was nervous. She worried she wouldn't have any friends. Me and Brandon both took her for her first day. He teased her that he was going to stay all day with her and she was horrified. When we left her in her class there was a girl balling for her mom not to leave her. I am so glad Alyssa isn't like that. She is the total opposite, she was pushing us out the door. Well it is four days later and she still likes school. She is pretty secretive about what she is learning. She did let it slip that a boy on her table is in love with her because he stares at her all day, and she doesn't like it!

Doesn't she look so cute all dressed up. She picked out her outfit for the first day. By the time I went to pick her up the tie and vest were stuffed in her backpack! She says she was just too hot! She sure takes after her father!

The Fourth of July in Carbon County

As a kid we always went to the fairgrounds to watch the fireworks. I would sit in the backseat of the car (fighting with my brother) and hang my head out the window to see them. Well these days they have a big too do out at the fairgrounds. My friend Melisa and her husband Ernie invited us to go with their family. They had the kids decorate cupcakes, painted their faces, tatoos, balloon animals, free hot dogs, etc. So I had to drag Brandon out in public for the holiday so our girls could enjoy the festivities!








They had a DJ playing music and some cheerleaders teaching the kids how to do the Macorana! The girls had a blast running around dancing and playing with all the other kids.



Instead of watching the fireworks from the car window, we put a blanket out on the grass and layed down out in the open and watched. All in all it was a pretty fun night. The girls had a blast! Brandon and I had a great time while watching the girls have so much fun!

The New Big Girl at the Ellis House

Well Kalley finally got the hang of it! Yea we don't have to buy diapers anymore! She is soo proud of herself. Everytime she goes she sings "yea yea good job Kalley Kalley". She made up the song all by herself. She just finished her sticker chart, so tomorrow I have to take her to Walmart and buy her a petshop house. Yes I bribed her!! But it worked!!

The Tooth Fairy Visit

Some of you may have heard Alyssa's big news! She lost her first tooth on July 8th. You would have thought she won the lottery when she woke up to find her dollar. It was worst than Christmas Eve when she put the tooth under her pillow, she was tooo excited to sleep. Then she was up at about 3 a.m. asking me if she could see if the tooth fairy had come yet!

Family Fun at Utah's Hogle Zoo!!

Well we decided to go to the zoo for vacation this year. We didn't have a lot of time or money so we thought the girls would have fun going to see the animals. Alyssa's favorite was the giraffes and Kalley liked seeing the elephants.

Well we stood in line for about ten minutes to get the girls on this rino to take a picture. Brandon waited very patiently!! Those of you who know him knows that this is not true. He is about the most impatient person I ever met, but he was pretty good since the girls were having fun.


The boy in the orange shirt behind Alyssa was about her age. I think she thought he was cute, because as I watched her going around she kept looking at him and tucking her hair behind her ears. I think she is starting to notice boys already! I am NOT ready for that. I don't think Brandon is either!














Brandon has soo much fun with his girls. I just love watching him with them. They just adore him! I can't believe what daddy girls they are.

Another Summer Sport

This summer Alyssa participated in many activities. This was her first year playing soccer. I thought she would have enjoyed it more than she did, but it wore her out running up and down the field. But she did a great job.


This is Alyssa being the goalie. She decided to stand up from doing summersalts so I could take her picture. She is also doing gymnastics this summer too, and she enjoys it much more than soccer.
