El Paso Trip

Chad had a long overnight in El Paso on the weekend, which doesn't happen very often. We took advantage and flew down and met him there. The three girls had never flown on a flight with Chad flying before. They were so excited because Chad was flying us back to Vegas. We swam indoors and sat in the hot tub outside. Then we walked over to Applebee's for dinner. We had to wake up very early in the morning so we ended up just watching some TV in the room after. Which the kids loved anyway. They had lots of fun. Thanks Southwest for the great overnight.

Lounging in the very comfortable pool chairs. They loved these and think we need some at our house.

Just hanging out in the room. The room had sleep number beds and they thought it was pretty cool. They all had to take turns playing with the bed.

Halloween

This Halloween was a crazy one. I ended up being sick so Chad had to go to the school for the parade, to drop of treats and make sure kids got ready. Poor Paige came home from school right after the parade because she was sick. (She threw up all over the just remodeled school office/carpet). She wanted to try and go trick or treating and made it an hour, then she was done and was sad because she hadn't even eaten any of her candy. This was the first year Isaah got to go trick or treating with his friends without supervision. Pretty cool being a middle schooler, right. We had some great friends take the girls out while Chad handed out candy. In the middle of the night Talli woke up sick. It was definetly a memorable night.
All of our scarey jack o lanterns.

Paige as a Pirate. She started out being a cheerleader and at the last minute decided to be a pirate.
Talli is the Vampire
Isaah the Tooth bandit. This is what happens when he raids his sisters closet. He did win the most unusual costume in the 6th grade.
Madi decided to be a baby. Note the babybottle.

Wow! Their 7

I can't believe that my babies are 7 this year. Holy Cow! They are two cuties that I love to death. They each have their own little quirks that make you smile. Paige is my fashion diva, she comes up with some cute/interesting outfits and likes her accesories. She is also my very social and impatient child. Her and her dad have quite the funny relationship going on right now. Talli likes to be in gym shorts and a tshirt, she is my laidback child. She is also my right hand helper, who is always right there to help me and loves to give kisses. They both love playing outside. Talli loves lego's and Paige loves her AG doll. This year we had a family party and surprised them by going to the Children's Musuem and then Chuck E Cheese. It was a fun day for all.
So excited to get money so they could buy the dsi they have been saving up for.

They got seats for their dolls for their bday.
Isaah and Madi working hard to get the giant bubble to cover them.
The Tornado. The winds get up to 75 mph. They love it.
Isaah in his element building a contraption for the golf balls to go through.
We went to Chuck E Cheese after. The kids had so much fun. Chad hit the jackpot on one and this is the most tickets he ever won at one time. Paige had given him the token so she got the tickets. They were so excited.

Who doesn't love the bubbles? One of the favorites
