Claire worked her little tail off selling cookie dough so she could ride in a limo. She was so determined and her determination paid off! She was so excited to ride in the limo with friends from school and then have a special lunch. Way to work hard Claire!!!

We love Halloween! We had fantastic weather this year...no coats needed! In Colorado, that is a blessing! We had so much fun all week...going to parties, doing crafts, and just being goofy.
The girls had a Daddy/Daughter Halloween dinner and party at church. My adorable family went as nerds. I am so proud!
Batman could hardly wait until it got dark enough to trick or treat! 
My cute lady bugs!
Thanks Carrie for the Batman costume! It's getting lots of use. Ü

For months before her birthday, Kate said all she wanted was to have cake or a pie smashed in her face. Weird if you ask me but a simple request!
