Trunk R' Treat 2008

This year Halloween fell on a Friday and so they had the annual Trunk R' Treat at the church on Halloween. It seemed to go so quickly because we only dressed up once this year. Normally we go to a couple different activities where they can wear their costumes. This year it was only one. They had a good time though and got a lot of candy. Our theme for the trunk was a spooky woodland gathering and our girls were all princess. I couldn't convince them otherwise. Haley was Sleeping Beauty, Kayla was Cinderella and Keeley was Ariel.
I do have to mention that after I got Haley and Kayla dressed Keeley no longer wanted to be Ariel. She thought because she wasn't wearing a ball gown that she wasn't beautiful. She wanted to be pretty like her sisters. I finally got her to put her costume on and then she just about lost it when I tried to spray her hair red. She thought she wasn't pretty enough. I have to admitt that I wasn't that fond of the red hair but by that time it was too late to get it all washed out. We had to go. Oh well, she was still cute to me!

Spook night is a go

Out at Gunstock Ranch on the north shore

there is a spooky haunted hay ride.

Our friends run it and we have to try

to go every year. It was much scarier this

year than expected. Last year they had

a kid version and an adult version. This

year, what I thought was a kid version

really wasn't kid rated at all. Even I was scared.

My poor kids sat on my lap with their eyes closed

most of the ride. One of the mummies tried to

reach up and touch Kayla's leg and I heard her

scream, "Please leave me alone. Go away.

They are just people in costumes, they are

just people in costumes." It was sad but pretty

funny to hear her say that. I knew it was a bad

idea to take the twins this year. I am just glad they

weren't up all night with bad dreams. There were

some friends we went with and one of the little girls,

probably about 7-8 years old, had to trade places with

me so she wouldn't be on the outside of the wagon. They

sure kicked it up a notch this year for sure.

Great job, next year I will leave the kids at home!

This is before the ride...they are still smiling.

Two of a kind and equally adorable

Sometimes the girls are just so cute.

These are the times that I really love

having twins. They are so cute together.

It is just so precious to see them playing,

napping and loving eachother.

Don't remember why they were so

tired but they both just went and fell

asleep on the couch.

What a sweet kiss Kayla.

"OUCH"

"Sorry Kayla!"

This is one of the few days they let me do their hair.

Pigtails make them look even more adorable.

So long season two

Here are the last games of the season. Haley is just so cute.

I love seeing her out there playing soccer. I can't wait

until next season. I think we are rolling over with the

same team next season, so we will still be the Cheetah Girls.

She looks like an athlete in this photo

doesn't she?

Buckets "O" Fun!

The girls love swimming and when I can't

stand to blow up the pool this is what they

get. My laundry buckets work great. They

are little fish and would swim every day if

I let them. When they help me wash the car

this is what ends up happening. I clean the

car and they swim in the buckets. No help

for mothers, all work and no play!

Keeley and Kayla just hanging out!
Who can hold their breath the longest?

"Kayla, lets see if we can jump from one

bucket to the other."

Ward Picnic

Every year we have a ward picnic down near

Barber's Point. We had it at Nimitz Beach this

year and the girls had a really good time. I am

the only one who got burned. I put sunscreen on

them and then forgot to put it on myself. The worst

part is that I had to work that night and my face

and neck were so red everyone who came into the

gym had to mention it. It was a miserable night

because as the night went on, I got even more red!

Good thing we only stayed two hours and not four.

Haley challenging the waves! "Come and get me."
All the girls digging in the sand.

There was even a perfect little cove for

the little ones.
