Birthday Time

So, Rianne turned 3 yesterday and I wanted to show you how her day went. The night before Nathan and I decorated the house with streamers and balloons and this cute little banner. She woke up the morning of her birthday so excited.
I think we are having some problems with our camera because we can't get any pictures to turn out but I got the best ones that I could find to show everyone.
We hung streamers in both archways to the hallway and had some helium ballons with string hanging all over the house.
Here was her pile of presents.
The first thing I did after I woke up was put the cute ribbon in her hair.


She yanked the boots out of the box and turned to daddy and said, "I got red boots daddy. I love my red boots."
Now this horse, as you can see was loved too. She tore off the paper and opened the box and the first thing she did was yell, I swear at the top of her lungs, "Is this my horsey? I love my horsey." Nathan got the picture just perfect with her wrapping her arms around the horse. it was so cute and I am glad he caught it so good. She named her horse "Patches"
The last present she opened was from Mom and Dad Weeks. A little baby doll that cries and sucks on a binkie and bottle (Nathan and I are already annoyed with the crying and sucking sounds). The doll also came with a sippy cup, bib, plate, fork, spoon, container for baby wipes, an extra outfit, diaper bag, little stuffed bear and a car seat carrier. She loves it and carries it around everywhere. The baby's name is "Dotty".
As soon as we got the baby and all the supplies undone from the box, she put the stuff in the diaper bag, put the bag on her shoulder, put her baby in the carrier, picked up the horse and said, "OK, I am going to go to the store. See you later!" It was the cutest thing!
She picked out her cupcake cake. She loves princesses, clearly because she is a princess. lol
I love this cake. It is really cute!
So, here is everything she got. Of course, the doll from grandma and grandpa, then we got her: princess light up shoes, the red hoodie and black and white hoodie shirts, with little black skirt, the horsey and Colvert picked out the red boots for her. She loved everything she got.
She asked if she could wear her red boots so I decided to try on her outfit. Isn't she so adorable?
Now this is a video of her opening her baby doll. The best reaction of the night!

Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! Just wanted to let you all know how Halloween went, so here are our pictures.
Bailey was wondering what was going on but she still had fun running around. And she loved carrying her pumpkin.
Here is our 50's girl. Rianne saw the poodle skirt in the store and started yelling, "I want to be this for Halloween, mommy".
Bailey is our happy little clown. I loved this outfit. It is sooooo cute.
Here is our motocross racer. Colvert loved his costume this year.

Who are these kids?

I need help figuring out who's kids these are? Just Kidding!! I don't like to clean and I sure CAN'T cook but they all love to. I just thought it was so cute. Colvert and Rianne ask us everyday if they can wash the table and sweep the floor. More power to 'em! LOL So I just had to get a picture of them cleaning the table and chairs.
And here they are again being big helpers. They love helping daddy cook dinner! But you can't just do one at a time, they all have to help together.
And here they are eating the dinner they helped cook. The reason I got these pictures was because it was so cute to watch Bailey eat corn on the cob for the first time. She loved it!!
With moving, you find all sorts of stuff that you haven't seen in a very long time. Here are my beautiful girls trying on mommy's tiara that I wore at my wedding. It was so precious!
The kids were so excited when the came to the door with their new friends. Colvert and Rianne both had some worms that they were so proud of.
This is Colvert playing in this little escalade, with the neighbor boy Juan . We tried to get pictures of Rianne and Colvert both driving but the batteries on our camera died. However, Colvert was so excited when Juan told him he could drive.
These are just some videos of our kids being fun and silly. This first one is priceless! Rianne is just jamming out on the guitar. The second, all the kids are just dancing their hearts out. The third, We taught Colvert how to do a back summer sault and ending by lifting himself up with his hands. This was the first shot I got on video and he did it perfectly.
