Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Or at least to the local mall. :o)

The girls and their annual picture with Santa. Pretty soon they'll be too old to to enjoy this so I gotta take advantage of it while I can. They love it. Too bad Santa won't be getting them all their requests. (Ahem. No live hamsters...) Hee hee.

Halloween 2011

Fun times this year!

Andy and I did not dress up this time. We just didn't feel like it. But, of course the girls did!

Madeline as Tinkerbell

Kassie as Sailor Girl

Sydney as Tickle Me Elmo

(She did not get away with dressing up like that without me tickling her! I got her good!!! :)

This was taken at my parent's house when we first started to go Trick or Treating.

They got so much candy. I see a trip to the dentist in our near future....

Happy Halloween 2011!

Cowgirl Madeline

Madeline decided to play dress up as a cowgirl and use Sydney as her horse. Sad thing was, Sydney actually let her do it!

Just proves the fact more and more that I have goofball children...

School Pictures 2011

They're here!!! Hot off the presses. Enjoy.

Sydney - 7th Grade

Kassandra - 4th Grade

Madeline - 2nd Grade

_______

Yes, they are all wearing the same shirt. This year when they went shopping for back to school with my parents, Sydney made the suggestion to dress in the same shirt. So, they searched for one they all liked and this is what they chose. Then, they surprised me with it when they got home.

I thought it was cute. :o)

Happy 10th Birthday Kassandra!

So I'm sitting here, planning which pictures I'm going to put on the blog of Kassie's Birthday, when my daughter comes up to me and says, "Mom... are you going to put the pictures on the blog?" Now you'd think it was the birthday girl asking me this, but no. It was Madeline. I'm not sure why she cared so much, I mean it's not her birthday. I'd like to think it's because she just loves her sister so much.... (crickets) :o)

Kassie says she can't believe she is 10 now. Neither can I. It's yet another case of time flying by. Ugh... Anyways, much to her (and her sisters) delight, here are some pictures of the birthday girl opening her presents.

And blowing out the candles...

Happy 10th Birthday Kassie!

Doin' the Puyallup

Today we took the girls to the Puyallup Fair. Fun times! We saw animals, rode lots of rides, stuffed ourselves with "fair foods" (aka deep fried treats), play lots of games, and walked about 5 miles. Ya know, typical fair stuff. :o) Madeline was so excited because she was actually tall enough this year to ride most of the rides. Here's some of the pictures I captured. Enjoy.

First Day of School 2011

Another year... yay!

Today Sydney enters the 7th and her first year of Junior High. Kassie enters 4th grade and Madeline enters 2nd grade. I have 3 super excited and semi-tired girls. Here are their first day of school pictures. Enjoy.

I'm kinda bummed because my camera wasn't working, so I had to use my cell phone camera. At least I got pictures, though. Something is always better than nothing. :o)
