Happy Halloween

Our ward had a Halloween Party yesterday. The girls couldn't get enough of the bounce house.

Cute little pumpkin and pretty ferry. No trick-or-treating for us. It is stake conference this weekend with the adult session at 7:00. The girls don't know they are missing out on the candy and they don't need it anyway.

She didn't want to touch the guts. We turned the job over to dad. Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Painting Pumpkins

Since the girls are a little to small to carve pumpkins we painted pumpkins instead!

Look at the joy on her face. She LOVES to paint!

After cleaning off the paint....posing with the finished products.

Weight

I saw on the Today show this week that there was a family with a 2 year old who weighed 22 lbs and the insurance company wouldn't cover her because she didn't weigh enough. I thought Kaylee weighed about that and sure enough...

My 3 year old weights 22.8 lbs

My 1 year old weighs 18 lbs

Brooke is quickly catching up to Kaylee in weight. I guess it is a good thing we are poor college students on medicaid so we don't have to worry about insurance companies!

I figured it is about time for another post but I don't feel like much has happened here lately. Here are a few pictures anyway... I was trying to do a photo shoot of Brooke but she wouldn't cooperate. Most pictures are the side of her head as she walked away. I guess we'll have to go to a professional. Brooke really doesn't like strangers so I don't know how the pictures would turn out.Kaylee is always turning her head and running from the camera!

Cute girl in cute boots.

I got my haircut this week. It had been a year since my last haircut! (I know that is terrible- I meant to get it done before we moved but it didn't happen and Jake is always so busy I kept putting it off.)

I have my first flu clinic next week. I am a little nervous since I haven't worked for 4 years. It will be just me doing everything too- the set up and clean up, all the paperwork and shots. (By the way we were told there is a shortage of flu shots this year so if you haven't got one yet do it soon!)

BIG NEWS!!! Kaylee is finally starting to the hang of potty training!!!!! She used to resist anytime we tried to get her to use the potty, but now she'll do it!! She still has accidents but they are always at home and she stays dry when we take her out. She even went to church in panties on Sunday!!!

We have been trying cloth diapers lately. I always thought it was crazy to use them but since there is no Costco here and diapers were more expensive I decided to give it a try. They aren't my favorite, I prefer the convenience of disposable but we are using less diapers. We'll see if cloth diapers motivate Brooke to potty train earlier than Kaylee did :)

Party Girls!

Yesterday we celebrated Brooke and Kaylee's birthdays. Brooke turned 1 on Sunday and Kaylee turns 3 on Friday. I didn't want to make 2 cakes so we had one big party.

Brooke figured out how to open the presents. She did get a little distracted by the ribbons and boxes though.

Kaylee loves this present. Jake wasn't too excited about it (he is worried about the mess it will cause) but he did buy it. I made tutus for the girls and they wore them almost all day.

Check out these cute boots the girls got from Grandma and Grandpa Williams! Every Texan girl should have some boots. Too bad Brooke's feet are too chubby for them.

We had a big candle that was like a sparkler and played happy birthday. It was really cool until it set the fire alarm off which scared Brooke.

Brooke had no problem eating her cake. When Kaylee was1 she wasn't so sure (she hadn't had cake before.) Brooke being the second child had her taste of sugar at a young age and obviously enjoys it.

Happy Birthday Brooke and Kaylee!!
