Tonight at dinner Tanna and I had 5 girls to the 2 of us… and they rocked it out!  We even got to have an adult conversation!  Thanks for sending these pics over Tanna… they are SO cute!

Let’s start at the beginning.  When the girls arrived, they got all dressed up as princesses.  Ty had a group of ladies come in to do the make-overs.

I just love these precious pictures… the excitement is building!

Ty and Emme did a special Daddy/daughter dance that pretty much brought everyone to tears because it was just so precious!

The Skittles had so much fun this fall playing soccer together!

IMG_9487

This is one of Noelle’s sweet friends, Autumn! 

IMG_9478

The girls were trying to pull off a win, and Coach Gretchen was working hard trying to keep them in the game!

Cuddle buddies!

Unfortunately we lost our last game, but the girls were great sports about it!  “That’s the way soccer go!”

The Skittles has the neatest group of parents you will find… they are troopers!

Rose would rather be sitting here in our toy drawer in the kitchen than anywhere else in the whole wide world!

Anna Kate’s fever finally broke yesterday, and Rose woke up with one today.  Mike missed some work last week for a really bad cold that we thought might be the flu… thankfully it wasn’t.  I’m asking for God to keep me healthy; I don’t know if he works like a genie in a bottle (ask and you will receive)… I think it’s a little more complicated than we can understand, but in my humanness, I’m asking him to keep me well so I can take good care of these babies.

Halloween!

All these guys are our neighborhood friends, most of them live on our street!

IMG_9331

Angela and I have talked about getting a “line-up” picture for the past couple of years, so here it is… 3 are hers, 3 are mine, and the kitty is our newest neighbor, Holly’s first little one.  We have Ainsley (7), Sydney (6), Noelle (5), Colbey (4), Anna Kate (2), Rose (8 mos.), and Berkeley (7 mos.)!

IMG_9339

Berkeley and Rose – I love Berkeley’s little hand out front – they were so cute getting to know each other and happily sat together the entire time we took pictures!

IMG_9363

This picture just makes me smile… this is community, this is home.

IMG_9346

Melt.my.heart – such a sweet first Halloween!

IMG_9353 IMG_9429

The great thing about our neighborhood is everyone has a play mate!  Here’s Malia with Anna Kate, and Noelle with her friend Chloe!

IMG_9434

And are you kidding me?  How adorable is this!  Jameson lives right next door and his Mommy Riann and I were pregnant together.  We joked about being next door neighbors in the hospital too, but Jameson ended up being 1 week older than Rose! 

IMG_9370 IMG_9442

I can’t tell you how sweet tonight was!  Rapunzel is Julia, Jameson’s older sister.  I wish she had been there for the line-up in the first picture because she is 3!  Lol!

IMG_9360

Malia is always kissing on Anna Kate, which she is used to because Noelle is always kissing on her too.  She’s super cuddly and these guys make great friends!

IMG_9374

Watching the boys walk up!

IMG_9379

The kids kept on piling in around the babies as they arrived…

IMG_9391

It was so funny, the kids just kept sitting there admiring each other and letting us take pictures.  All these guys are used to it!

IMG_9397

This is the group making silly faces!

Noelle and Anna Kate admiring Rapunzel’s hair!

Then we all went trick-or-treating together.  Noelle ran into Creighton in his morphsuit!  He always plays chase with her and Anna Kate in the front yard and is such a good kid. 

IMG_9447

The kids had a blast trick-or-treating!  Our neighbors went all out with fog machines, decorations, and treats.  Our girls were super impressed!

IMG_9458

“Boo!”

IMG_9461

Maddy’s daddy was outside telling jokes to the kids before he gave them candy.  They were cracking up all gathered around him!

IMG_9466 IMG_9467

Save the best for last!  Noelle found her school counselor Ms. Arnold and was so excited to get a picture with her!  And this is Lesleigh, Ceighton’s sister.  She is always playing with the girls and even helps Noelle with her homework.  We are so blessed to be right where we are!

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Singleton!
