Halloween

This year for Halloween we dressed the girls up in coordinating costumes. I can't resist dressing them alike since they're so close in age. I'm sure they'll get sick of it soon enough. Adrian was a "Flower Fairy" and Carly was a pumpkin. I was lucky to get a picture outside before it started raining. The weather this year was crazy! We visited and Grandma and Grandpa Gillies' and then drove over to Salem to eat yummy chicken noodle soup and Grandma and Grandpa Wood's. While there, they all decided to go to the trunk or treat. The rain had let up so we just put on some jackets and headed over. When we were just finishing up, all "hail" broke loose. My dad grabbed up Adrian (thank goodness) and ran for the car. Shawn had Carly under an umbrella that wasn't doing us much good, and I forgot that I was 8 months pregnant and ran for it. (My body got me back for that one big time.) After all of that excitement we visited with Grandma and Grandpa Hurst and all of the cousins were there at the same time.

Adrian's 4th Birthday

I can't believe how much Adrian is growing up!! It's crazy to think that it's already been 4 years since she came into our lives. I can't imagine being without her, she sure makes things interesting! She's become my little helper, always trying to mother Carly. She loves to help me clean and cook. She's learning a lot at school, and from what they tell me she's doing really well there. She's still really tall for her age, towering over the other kids at school.



This year it was nice enough outside that we could have cake and icecream at the park with our family. She got spoiled as always!

Adrian's First Day of Preschool

Adrian's preschool had an orientation for the moms to come and let the kids get familiar with the teachers and the room. She was so excited to go as you can see from the picture in the car.



Unfortunately, the next time we woke up to go to school, she thought that I was going to be staying with her again. When I told her that I couldn't stay and that preschool was just for kids her size she threw a fit. She was screaming almost the entire drive to school, but luckily she was fine when she saw the other kids getting out of their cars without their moms. Now she absolutely loves it!

Art City Days

We seem to be forgetting the camera every time we leave the house lately, but I managed to get this one with my phone. It was a rainy day but we made it on a few rides before it started pouring.

St. George Trip with the Hursts

The girls loved to play in this water park in St. George. Carly just wanted to walk back and forth in it the whole time. She's walking really well now!



Such a cutie!



We also tried to take her over to the water shoots out of the ground, but Adrian wasn't too sure about it.



The next day we took the kids out for a little hike on the red rock.
