Hiding

It was time for the girls to get ready for bed and this is where I found them. They like to hide under their bed while giggling at the same time. I love that they like to do things together.

I took Samantha's clothes off because she was pulling them off as soon as we got home this evening. Then by the time it was time to get ready for bed, her diaper was falling off and she started pulling it off. I thought it was pretty cute. She definitely likes to be a naked girl.

One Term Down

Earl decided that shaving wasn't as important as studying and sleep. He definitely can grow a beard in a short time frame. This is a week of no shaving. I'd rather have him do well on his tests than worry about his facial hair.

Earl finished his first term of school today. He had finals all week and he studied really hard for them. It was nice to have him be home by 10 today and the girls loved having him home. He did really well his first term and I am so proud of him. He has enjoyed school so far and hope that he can continue to do so.

Congratulations Earl. We love and support you.

Nadya's First School Picture

I can't believe how old she is getting. I am really happy with how cute her picture looks. She is such a cute girl.

Halloween '09


Halloween this year was so much fun. Kirksville really goes all out for this holiday. It was hard to choose what we actually wanted to do this year. I didn't want to overwhelm the girls but they really enjoyed going this year.
Nadya wanted to be Cinderella and we had Samantha as a tiger. They both were really cute. Nadya knew exactly how she wanted to look. We had a crown for her but her comment was "Cinderella doesn't wear a crown, she wears a headband." So we pulled her hair back and she wore a headband on top. They both looked really cute. Sam really got into it. She followed Nadya and was really good at saying thank you to everyone who gave her candy. We even got her to say something like trick or treat a few times. She loved holding out her bag and getting the goods. Nadya had a lot of fun seeing her friends and getting candy. She is so much fun to watch.
We went to two trunk or treats and then we went to the town square and some businesses handed out candy to the kids of the town. It was a lot of fun. I can't believe how much candy the girls got. There is no way that they will ever be able to eat all of it. I'm going to have to figure out how to get rid of it without me and Earl eating it all.

Weather in Kirksville



So weather here is pretty crazy. We went from this gorgeous sunset in our backyard, to a lake. The rain fell so hard and fast that we had massive flash flooding with streets being closed down to this in our backyard. I had to take a picture so that Earl could see it. It was crazy how much water there was. It was scary to drive in it and I was nervous about flooding in our house. All was fine but I have never seen anything like this in Utah.
I do like the sunsets though. Our backyard is perfect for watching them. We really love it here.
