Chloe's D.C. Trip:

Chloe spent an entire week in Washington D.C. and surrounding areas with the Close Up program at school. She had a blast. On Friday she was able to spend some time with her good friend from Rocklin who moved to VA last year.

She loved the museums, the monuments, the cemeteries, Ford's Theater, Smithsonian,

Georgetown, and oh so much more!! She especially loved meeting the other students from Alaska, CA, TX, Georgia, FL and a few other states. She met a ton of new pals. She loved every minute of this trip! She brought us home fun treasures and T-shirts and delish VA honey.
I'm so glad she was able to experience our nation's capitol and all the history that goes with it!

Here she is with her friend Miles from CA! cool that they got to spend the afternoon together!

Catching Up:

Okay, here we go.

Had a super fun Halloween.

Friday morning the kids got to dress up for school but had to bring in a book their character was in. Linds brought in Bambi (She was Flower) and Nat dressed up as the classic Snow White.

"Snow White and Rose Red"

She is wearing Chloe's homecoming dress. :)

Our delightful homegrown pumpkins. These guys made the tastiest roasted seeds ever. They sure didn't last long in our house. yum

More pumpkins.

Trick or Treating!

Jack dressed up as a scary Warlock Dog. He was most frightening!

Hurry up! let's go get some candy!

Have fun!

I stayed home alone and handed out over 150 airheads to kids. Tons of kids come to our awesome neighborhood!

Chloe worked this night, then hung out with friends later.

Haley spent the entire day in Elk Ridge with friends and went Trick of Treating up there.

This was her first day of freedom after being Swiney, so she was gone 10 am -1o pm!




Haley turns 13!

13 girls for a 13th b-day party on Nov. the 13th!

Half the girls stayed for a slumber party. They had a great time. Awesome breakfast that next morning.

She got such great presents this year!

Awesome jewelry, cash, gift cards, lotion! woo hoo!

Can't believe my baby girl is 13 years old.

She is so amazingly awesome!

Love you, McBean, you are such a GREAT kid!




26 weeks prego:

Delightful belly shots. Nice and round.

The only time I ever had stretch marks was with Chloe, and they were on my back. I have never had them again. I am very lucky, indeed.

I love my prego belly.

Chloe is currently in Washington D.C. for 7 days with the Close Up program through school. She is having a blast and updates us daily on her fun adventures.

Haley and Lindsay have a piano recital tomorrow evening- always a fun event.

I'm tired and my back is killing me, so off to bed I go~
