Kiddo Update

The weather has gotten colder here in Flagstaff, but we are enjoying it. We can still go to the park if we bundle up. I happen to think my kids look adorable bundled up so I love it! 

Susie is doing well in preschool. She does a great job writing her letters and she can keep up with the older girls in the class. She loves having her preschool friends come over. Every night when she goes to bed she asks me, "we have preschool morrow?" She likes to have her day lined out before going to sleep. 

I'm not very good at fancy hair but I was proud of myself for this one! It took forever and I had to give Susie a sucker and my phone to play with to get it done. Susie wanted "Elsa" hair so this was my best effort. 

Braden is a good little walker now. He toddles all around and tries to get into anything he can. I'm a baby proofing pro these days. I'm not sure how we are going to do a Christmas tree this year...

Braden is still taking 2 naps a day (one during preschool- yay!). He LOVES to be outside. He loves his daddy. But he loves his mommy too. He is a good little snuggler. He can say a few words now which is so fun and so cute! He says mama, and dad, dog, ball, cheese (chee) and Jesus (Jee). I love when he points to a picture of Jesus and says Jee! Jee! It is adorable. The boys were matching the other day so I had to get a picture. 

Halloween Fun

We had a fun October. We decorated for Halloween, made some pumpkin treats, and carved a pumpkin, too. We decided to dress up as the Berenstain Bear family because we love reading the books. I made the costumes (don't look too close- I'm not very good at sewing!) 

Paul had to work on Halloween but we did get to go to our ward's Halloween Carnival together. They had some fun games to play and then there was trunk-or-treating. 

On Halloween night the kids and I made homemade pizza and went trick-or-treating with some great friends across the neighborhood. Susie had so much fun. Several of the houses we went to went all out decorating with lights and fake smoke, etc. The kids just loved it. 

My friend Amberlee gave us all haircuts last week. It was Braden's first hair cut! They both look so cute. I just love Susanna's new bangs. Pretty adorable kids if I don't say so myself!!
