I can't wait for the movie!

BOO!!

We are back from trick or treating, the kids are in bed and ahhhh halloween has come to an end! The kids had fun tonight, Isaac was just so cute running to the doors. He got lots of Ahhhh's from the ladies. Such a handsome boy. I even "dressed" up. I was a Charger as the girls called me.



Of course 3 nights of trick or treating with 3 kids getting candy is bound to be a lot and sure enough it is. How's this for hitting the jackpot?

This should last all year long. If you have a favorite let us know and we'll mail you some!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

So Halloween in Oxford is like a week long event. It started last Sunday the 26th. Trick or treating in the dorms. I took Eliza and Elana while David stayed home with the babies who were both a sleep. Here's what the girls looked like that night.

And here is Eliza looking through her loot from that night...

So after dorms on sunday it's uptown trick or treating and costume parade on Thursday. So that's where we were last night. Isaac got to join in on this fun and doesn't he look like a handsome devil?!

All three of them before we left

Then here they all are with dad

Of course all this fun was way more than Eviee could handle

And now we are waiting for Papaw to get here and daddy to get home so we can go out once again and get more candy! Yeah. I will post more pictures later tonight.
And durning this fun halloween week, Eviee turned 7 months and has decided that she might want to crawl, so she's been working on it.

I can't believe time is going by so fast.
Happy Halloween and safe Trick or Treating to all.

What We've Been Up To!

I can't believe I have gone so long without blogging. Sorry to those of you who check in often. I have no excuse. So this morning the girls are on the bus, the babies are sleep (yeah) and for once I don't feel dog tired so I thought now or never. The trick is going to be remembering what we've done. Nothing too exciting I'm sure.
One thing I thought of was about 2 weeks ago Eliza and Elana were in the bathroom, (they like to have company), well our bathroom door had been sticking so the key was don't shut the door all the way, well opps they shut it and it stuck and there was no getting it open. I was laughing and listening to Eliza you would have thought she was stuck on a rock in the middle of the river on the edge of a water fall. Not in a bathroom, where they had taken books and toys. I had to call David to come home and then he had to spend 30minutes removing the door knobs so they could come out. Talk about your gloris rescue. It was hilarous. I wish I'd had the camcorder on.
ELIZA- still loves school, though doesn't like the fact that Elana gets to do some things that she doesn't since Elana is home early. She started Violin lessons a few weeks ago, here she is with her violin


she really seems to be enjoying it, but is also aware that it might be harder then she thought! Go figure..
ELANA- She enjoys school as well and seems to be doing well. She only goes half day so when she gets home she is real good about playing with Isaac and Eviee. She also likes me to read to her and she likes to color. here is one of her masterpieces,

She is also not much of a morning person and this morning had to run to the bus without breakfast because she did not what to get out of bed (it's cold) and she doesn't know how to hurry. I felt bad, because she was crying. Hopefully she will have learned her lesson that she needs to get up when I tell her too.
ISAAC- what a cutiepatootie and a big stinker. He has learned to like watching movies so when he gets up in the morning, while I'm changing his diaper he says "I wan watch cars" or "I wan watch Egio" aka Dora and Diego. Then he says and "I wan fafle" aka waffle. Same routine each day, it's very cute. I give him a kiss and say "I love you" and he runs off and says "love". it's sooo cute. He also loves to play with Eviee, here he is doing just that,

That's a trick he learned from his sisters. They like to cover him up with the laundry basket.
EVIEE- she is almost 7 months now. At her 6 month check up she was 14lbs 5oz and I think 25 and 3/4 inches. She's getting big. She loves to sit in her walker and boy can she get around. Going into the kitchen and playing with the magnents is one of her favorites, but she'll take whatever she can get a hand on. She's also teething so everything goes in the mouth. Here are a few pictures of that.



Eviee has also been getting more solids to eat and she is doing a great job. Here's a picture of her eating pears for the first time. Just imagine you can see the shoulder shudder that goes along with it, it was really funny.

So there you have it. I know this is one long blogging session, but hopefully you are all up to date now. I'll blog again soon and put in my two cents about Dancing with the Stars and so on. Until then. Love to all and mostly to my nephew Bryson who's still in the hospital but is doing great. Way to go Bug! Hugs from Auntie Sara

Prayers for Bryson

Just wanted to ask any who read this blog to put my nephew Bryson in your prayers. he had major heart surgery today. It looks as if things have gone well and he is in recovery, but the recovery will be a few weeks. So that means my bro and sis in law are away from there 3 other children a lot the next few weeks. PLease keep them all in your prayers as I know this is a hard time for them. I really hate that I am so far away at times like this when I would really like to be apart of helping or just hugging if I could. It's also a time when I miss my mom even more because she was more of my direct line as to all that was going on. But you can check out their blog at www.quinneyfamily.blogspot.com to see some pictures and see the updates of how Bryson is doing. I really admire my brother and his family because they go through a lot during all this and their faith is strong.
Well I have a crying baby that needs me. She's running a temp of 103.5 right now. Not sure what's going on there. Once again the pain of grammy being gone is called to the front. Well to avoid tears of my own I'm outta here.
We love you Bryson, hang tough and get well soon.

Catching up on the week

Another week went by and though I ment to post I never did. So now I have to play catch up.
DANCING WITH THE STARS
I don't know if you watch this show, but I love it. I'm not sure who my favorite is just yet, but I really like Derick Hough, i'm not sure who his partner is. A Brooke something or other,but I think she is good. I also like Julieann Hough, who is dancing with Cody "Jake Ryan" from Hannah Montana. He's got some style and last but not least Warren Sapp is doing a pretty good job. Why they haven't sent Cloris Leachman home yet is beyond me. I admire her for doing it at her age 82, but she's bad!
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT
Oh my gosh!! I have to say I was really bummed. I thought it was going to be Eli Mattson. Don't get me wrong, Neal E Boyd has a great voice, but just not who I wanted to see take it all. But he will be good and all of the top 5 will get some kind of work I am sure, they were all really good.
ELIZA'S VIOLIN
So I don't know if I have mentioned that Eliza has been bugging me most of this year to play the violin. I don't know where it came from or why she is so interested. Well a new family at church has a 17 year old daughter Emily, who plays and has agreed to give Eliza lessons to see if she really wants to put the work in to learn. Wednesday was a great event taking Eliza down to the music store to rent her a violin. She was so happy and so cute, she has waited forever. Lessons start next Friday and I will be sure to post a picture of her with her violin.
CHARGERS
What a day. I can't believe the Chargers lost to the Dolphins. It's really sad and I hate the fact that I don't get to see the games so I don't ever get to really know what happened. Next week is a Sunday night game against New England and I can't wait to see that. They have to win because NE is David's team and he can't have that satisfaction.
CONFERENCE
I really enjoyed watching conference this weekend. I felt the spirit a lot and cried some. I am thankful for the gospel and all of it's teachings, but especially the truth of Eternal families. That is what gets me through the hard days. They talked about that today and I enjoyed the gentle reminder. I know God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. I know that I can be with my family for eternity,and I know I have a lot to do to be worthy of it. And I am thankful that with God all things are possible.
My love to you all!
