Weston Apple Fest

Macey's first ride on a school bus! (yes, it was Addalyn's first too, but when Sterling's around she's much too cool for Mommy so they had to go find their own seat to sit in)

Macey the bug!

Addalyn, Sydney, Lauren and Macey :-)

Homemade Apple Pie!

Macey painting pumpkins

Addalyn's work of art (poor kids got mommy's artistic skills, not daddy's)

such happy little girls

before...

...and after!

We Love To Swing

S'Mores!

Papa had some old wood to burn and an old grill to burn them in...guess what that means? The girls loved roasting their marshmallows and I only got hit in the face with those super long sticks half a dozen times. I love fall!

Where's My Landlord?!

I'm not totally sold on this whole homeowning thing. I think it's a tad overrated! That or I just have really crappy luck. After months of dealing with water backing up in my basement, I finally contacted the city (which was darn near impossible). They came out and fixed the break in the pipe under my sidewalk. We had been staying at my dad's house so after a week of that, we "moved home" again and within 2 hours the basement was flooded again. Turns out, there was ANOTHER break in the pipe right under the front of my house. The bill for that was going to be outrageous but luckily Patty knew someone that was able to get it repaired for half the price. Anywho, this is why I haven't updated the blog recently. It's been nothing but chaos and I haven't been home to upload pictures. Let's all hope and pray that this house holds up...at least til the girls go to college and take their Mommy with them to be their roomy. :-)

Liberty Fall Fest

We went to the Liberty Fall Festival with Gigi a couple weeks ago. We walked there from her house (3 miles round trip with NO stroller--the girls were troopers!). Their favorite part was the candy from the parade and then the carnival. It was a perfect morning/afternoon!

They really are starting to look alike! (and it's not just because their
hair is fixed the same and their outfits are identical) :-P

Running to get to the parade (the walk home was much, much slower)

The cousins posing for a picture...and Macey sitting like such a little lady
Haha!

Seriously, the candy was the best part

With my little loves after the parade (and please note that their undershirts are different colors so people can tell them apart) :-)

Big enough to ride? YES Brave enough to ride? NO

Addalyn is concentrating so hard! They both won a giant inflatable hammer. Those were fun on the walk home...

They got a slushie to share...but neither one of them came up for air...

...in fear that one may get more than the other...

...they really walked like this. So cute though!

Macey Being Macey

I asked this kid to go brush her teeth before bed and 30 seconds later she came out like this! Such a good listener. :-)
PS--I swear I always have my camera close...I'd hate for anybody to think I was digging around looking for it while she was screaming like this. And she wasn't in pain, she was just really ticked off.

Dinosaur Exhibit at Union Station

Addalyn looks so tiny next to this fella

Her best dinosaur impression :-)

Macey finally warmed up to the dinosaurs once she realized they weren't real

Digging for footprints

This scared her more than I thought it would!

Macer was being brave with Gigi

Mace being scary...and Addalyn being scared!

Singin' Sisters

Rockin' The Red Carpet

Yes, I swear they're only 2 and 4, but it's pretty hard to believe in these pictures. Ms. Camryn Nelson's 4th birthday party was a Camp Rock Premiere party so the kids dressed in their Red Carpet attire for the bash. The party was a huge success! The kids had a blast and have never looked so cute.

Homegrown Butterflies

DAY 1

The caterpillars we got in the mail. She was so excited!

DAY 14

The day we let the butterflies go. Still so excited!

They sure were messy little critters.

Feeding them their sugar/water mixture.

Letting them go!

McKinstry Girls Lawn Care

After 9 long months in this house, it was finally time to plant some grass seed out front. There was a big bare spot under the tree so I put the little ladies to work. It's been 1 week and there's new grass everywhere out there! Of course, the big blanket looking thing isn't too appealing, but it seems to be working.
