Photo Shoot for Christmas Cards

Every year Mommy insists on torturing us for an hour with her camera and several costume changes. Mommy said this year was a little easier now that we are older and can take a little more direction. We headed up to my friend, Sydney's Grandma's house in Alpine. It was so beautiful there. Here are some of the results (though the best ones are a surprise and will appear in your christmas card)...

A Very Happy Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween filled with pumpkin decorating, school and office parties and trick or treating of course.  I was my favorite princess of the week, Jasmine.  Grayson was a dragon and growled and breathed fire at everyone.  It was so warm here, we trick or treated without even a jacket.  Mommy was saying how she couldn't remember the last time it warm like this on Halloween.  And wouldn't you know it, 15 minutes later it started raining the wind started blowing and it got pretty freezing after that.  We totally scored on candy though.  Grayson and I have been sneaking suckers and chocolate at every meal and pretty much everytime in between.

About 60 seconds after we got home from the halloween party at Daddy's office, this is where we found Grayson.

It was fun in the Fall

We did lots of fun things in the Fall. Here are pictures of all our fun outings.

Winter is here already

Snow! Snow! Everywhere.  It snowed on Saturday and I told Mommy it was the best day ever.  She doesn't like the snow though, so she didn't think it was so great.  I even got to play a soccer game in the snow.  It was hard to concentrate on the game when I was trying to catch all the snow on my tongue.  Grayson had fun watching me too.  And when the game was over, we went to Beans and Brews for hot chocolate.

4

Today I turned 4. It was my special day.

I woke up and opened so many amazing presents.

Then Mommy took me to Build-a-bear where I made an adorable pink bear with an ariel wig and outfit.

Then I went to lunch at Wendys (my favorite because I love the frosties). I played with some friends visiting from Colorado.

After that, I played with my presents and we were off to dinner at The Mayan restaurant. It was a really cool place with Cliff divers. I had such a great day and I will never forget it.

Dress-up Party

Yesterday was the funnest day. Mommy threw me a "dress-up" party in honor of my 4th birthday (which is actually on tuesday). I decided to dress up like Jasmine since that is my new Halloween costume. Grayson wore his Pirate costume. About 12 of my friends came and dressed up in their most beautiful costumes. We made paper dolls, played games, ate cake and opened presents. My friends gave me the greatest gifts. I have been playing with them non-stop.



We all took a turn to pose by the castle.









After everyone left, Grayson and I were pooped.

Soccer girl

I am officially a soccer player now!! My team is called the white spiders and we just finished our second week of play. Daddy is one of my coaches. I love putting on my uniform two days a week and I can put on my socks and shin guards all by myself. Mommy said that if I score a goal, she'll take me to the Disney Store and I can pick out a special prize. Wish me luck!

Big Boy!

Big news at our house. Grayson got his big boy bed! He is so good at staying in it too. For the past 5 nights and naps, he has stayed put no matter how much I taunt him. When I got my first bed, Mommy said I was so crazy that she had to lock me in my room and "baby proof" the whole thing (I had a bad climbing habit). She said it was either that or tie me to the bed. I am glad I don't need my room locked anymore.

Grayson loves his bed so much, he can't wait to go to sleep. He calls it his "pirate boat bed".

Back to School

Grayson and I just completed our first two weeks at school. It was has been so much fun. I get to go 3 days a week and Grayson goes 2 days. So everyday of the week, someone has school. Everyday, after we get in the car, we fight over who's turn it is to go. Mommy tells us this is pointless.





We have also spent a lot of time lately "holding" each other.
