One Silly Trick

My talented little 7 year old has a new trick, sucking her nostrils in! It's so funny to see in person! So proud . . .

Pumpkin Patch

Pictures of the girls at the pumpkin patch by our house . . .


CHEESE!











They look so sweet and innocent here. Not even 20 seconds later, they fought over who was going to pull the wagon. The joys!








What's going on here?



Having fun playing a game





And playing hopscotch!



The must-have at pumpkin patches, the hayride!









Mr. Bones

For Halloween, Ms. Kristin has Mr. Bones by the door to greet everyone. Here's Gracie with her buddies and Mr. Bones . . .




Haylee preferred to take a picture with Chloe the tortoise instead.

What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

Thankfully, nothing we did had to 'stay' in Vegas! Bryan and I went on our first trip to Vegas with my sister and Frank in August. We had so much fun relaxing, drinking, site seeing, seeing a show and gambling (Well, not really me. I'm not much of a gambler.). What a fun place to visit! I can't wait to go back again.

The pictures are in no specific order. They were all jumbled up on my camera and I had no patience to fix them!

A walk on the strip. Took this pic for our girls!



On the strip again.



And now we present Bryan and Alisha Rand! Our shot at being 'movie stars!'



And now for Alisha and Ashley!



The famous pink flamingos

The Eiffel Tower



A pretty fountain



No comment needed here











The pirate ship



Our romantic gondola ride.



That's a real lady in there! Freaky but true! Some fountain show they were putting on in a hotel.





My sweet (not to mention hot!) husband and I. This is the night of my favorite dinner! Yummy food in Vegas. I'd go back just for that!



My beautiful sister and Frank (you're not so bad either ;))


This was my favorite day in Vegas. We went to a private pool at Mandalay Bay and rented a 'bed' for the day. We had our own little cabana boy and waitress. We just hung out and relaxed all day! Definitely want to do this again!


The Bellagio Fountain Show. Very pretty.



And again







We were at the Pure night club in this picture. We got our groove on for a bit and then headed back to our hotel.


The scenery outside of the club


The boys.


The girls.

Museum Time!

We went to the Heritage Museum over the summer to find out more about Frisco. It was a neat experience.

Gracie and Ella



And again.



The crew that went, minus Gracie and Ella. They didn't want to be in this picture.



Another Trip to the Lake

Another trip to the lake in July with my sister and kids, mom and friends!


My mom with Rhea and Gracie



Andrew, little surfer dude!



It's so fun to play in the sand!



Even more fun to get the sand wet and make mush!




Busy at Play!



Sweet Ella



Sweet Rhea








Train Ride

Gracie, Haylee and Abby on a fun train ride in the mall.

Krispy Kreme

Slowly but surely I will catch up on this blog! Still posting from the summer, but I think this is towards the end of the summer, maybe!?!?!
Anyway, one day during the summer we went to Krispy Kreme with some friends for a tour. They talked about the history of Krispy Kreme, brought out dough and other stuff for them to "play" with and then they got to decorate their own donut. The girls had a good time.


Gracie with Ella, Ms. Sherri's Ella as Gracie calls her. :)



Haylee eating the donut she decorated. I didn't notice it until now, but her donut is just sitting on the table, no napkin, no paper towel, just germs! Gross!



"The Donut Talk"



Looking at all of the donuts being made.




Friends and donuts! What more could you ask for?!?!
