Princess On Ice!

(I finally got around to blogging again! So if you care to know, there are 3 other posts below this)

This had to be the highlight of our trip! Jake's sister Holli and I decided to take our little princesses to Disney Princess On Ice! We had such a fabulous time! This also kickstarted Sadie and Samantha's princess obsession! They wake up begging to wear their princess dress ups and would sleep in them if we let them!! There are a ton of pictures of this fun event, but they were all too cute I could not decide!

Snow White a.k.a Samantha

Sleeping Beauty a.k.a Sadie

They were glued once it started! It was so much fun watching them enjoy it!

Pure Delight!

I am thrilled to have caught the Ooohh face!

November!

We headed over to the park to get some fall leave fun in! And to try out our new camera!

Sadie

It took Samantha a little bit to warm up to the idea!

Jake got an amazing opportunity to head to Egypt for 2 weeks for work! We were thrilled for him, but not up for the 2 week single parenting challenge, so the girls and I packed up last minute and headed for Utah!

While we were there Sadie Janie got a haircut!! I had a hard time deciding if we should do it, but her hair was really turning into a mullet! So we did it, and are so glad we did! She of course looks adorable and her hair looks so much healthier! She was so cute about it, she kept worrying that her haircut was going to blow away when we were out in the wind!!

We headed up to Bear Lake for an overnight stay with some of my family! This was probably the first time the girls had been out in the snow for the season. This is Samantha!

A dip in the hot tub!

They put on quite the performance for us! The fireplace was the perfect stage!

Ooops...More November!

Here a few more pictures I wanted to add to November!

We were so glad that we were able to go over and spend some time with my Grandpa Reed and Grandma Eunice.

Here are the cousins on Thanksgiving making Turkeys!

Here is Samantha showing hers off!


My parents have this fun swing in their backyard. Thank goodness the girls know how to hold on tight!

We had a great idea to do a photo shoot of our little Utah Cheerleaders for Jake's parents for Christmas, we tried first at Target and were unsuccessful so we tried again and got these cute photos!

You should see how many we had to take to get this one with them all smiling and actually looking at the camera!!

Cutie Girls!

Go Utes!

Halloween!

We did a fun Halloween dinner at our house, complete with a Jack-O-Lantern pizza, Witches Brew, and Halloween Jello Jigglers. Too bad Sadie felt the need to show off her belly in this picture!

Our Utah Cheerleaders!!

Sadie left, Samantha right

This was hilarious! This was the first house they went to and Sam comes waddling back from the porch like this!! Oops...looks like the tights might be a little small! We all got a great laugh from it though!

I don't know who had more fun, the girls or Jake and I witnessing their first Trick Or Treating experience! They were ecstatic! They ran from house to house, knocking relentlessly, and then they would announce and rave about the treat that they were given! Also randomly yelling out Go Utes! The houses that had dogs got quite a reaction as well!

We went out with our fun friends the Knickerbocker's. This is their cute little "Dorothy"!

And this was the best....the girls couldn't even hold their little pumpkin buckets by the end of their route! They were so full! So they came home and organized all their loot! What a fun memory this night was!

Pumpkin Patch!

We took the girls to a fun Farm/Pumpkin Patch. They had fun activities for the girls, a corn maze, and then we took the wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick the perfect pumpkins!
