Here's a big catch up on my phone pics. 

We went to a s'more party last week. I thought it was pretty funny that we had our first s'mores of the summer in NOVEMBER.

 Hendrix and Quinn were helping Veda get ready for bed :)

 "Spooky"

 Quinn waiting very impatiently for her carpool ride on Monday. The time change was killing her this week. She kept saying that she 'felt weird' and thought she was late. She isn't like her mommy at all ;)

 A card Quinn made for Dave. "Daddy I love you cuz I love you daddy I just love you." So stinking cute.

 Hendrix teaching Veda the art of "Boot hands." She's a quick learner.

Thank heavens it's Christmas time and these puppies are the stores again, i LOVE these. I might eat the  entire box tonight. :)

cute kids

We walked down the park the other day. I seriously love this Texas fall weather. Warm enough for t-shirts and cold enough for jeans.

 I just can't get enough of this darling girl.

 It was the 50th day of school yesterday, so the kindergartners were supposed to wear 50's clothes. So of course I made her a little poodle skirt.

 Every day after Veda's nap we have a little alone time. Hendrix sleeps sometimes an hour longer than her. I love the time we get together just me and her. And I love her eyelashes

 And her crazy teeth and scrunchy nose and blonde hair

 And here is Hendrix having a tantrum (supposed to be in the corner). And there is Veda copying him- since she copies anything that Quinn and Hendrix do.

 And yes- I'm THAT mom. Who not only is watching her kid hang out on the gym floor during sacrament meeting, but also the mom who is busting out her camera during church. oops.

And holy smokes. The morning after elections. I was almost excited to wake up and check all the crazy things people were saying on Facebook. Let's face it- that's where I get my 'news.' The CRAZY thing is that I have a different political opinion than 90% of my friends (how does that happen?! it's maybe even 99% of my friends who have a different opinion than me). It was humorous for me to read FB and see that all my friends think that the world is ending and they are 'sick' and mad at all the 'stupid' people who voted for Obama. Don't worry people- the world is NOT ending. And look-- now we can be done with all the political ads and (fingers crossed) done with all the crazy stuff of on Facebook. And one more thing- I LOVE Obama ;)

Halloween 2012

Halloween!!

I was trying to get the kids to all hold up their fingers of how old they are. Veda just can't help herself to copy Quinn though- and then Hendrix gave up :)

 Sisters

 wow-- he is so handsome

 We went trick-or-treating with some friends who live down the street. Here's our whole gang.

 Me and my rock star.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!!

Every time I've tried to get Hendrix to wear this pink shirt in the past 6 months he says "I don't want to wear that mom- pink is NOT my favorite color." But for some reason he agreed last Sunday to wear it. And I think he liked it. A couple people said something to him at church about him looking cool, and he would mention his PINK shirt. :)

 Hendrix's new favorite show: Wall-E

Dave was on a business trip 4 days last week. By the last day, we had cereal for dinner. My kids thought it was hilarious. :)

 Morning snuggles with Daddy after he got home from his trip.

 Roar!

 Hendrix counted the goldfish in this pond. It was a good guess :)

 Quinn reading to Veda. Quinn is just soaring through books. It's so fun to watch her learning to read. It's the best thing ever.

I LOVE this little girl. Last week while Hendrix was at play group (and Quinn was at school) me and Veda had a fun little date. We sat outside in the PERFECT Texas weather and shared a cookie at Panera and walked around Nordstrom Rack. It was a perfect morning with the world's most perfect baby girl. Look at that face! She's the best.

 Veda is a Watermelon this year. It suits her.

I hosted book club at my house last week. And instead of eating dinner at home and having the kids mess up the house I spent the day cleaning, we had a picnic at the little pond by our house. Quinn was abnormally in the mood to pose for the camera. Maybe she's coming around?

 Hendrix is loving soccer. I love it too :)

 Hendrix asked to sit on the potty the other day. No- he's not potty trained. And no- I'm not really pushing him. He did go in the potty this time- but hasn't since.

 Hendrix is a rock star for Halloween this year. It also suits him :)

 Sweet baby girl reading books.

 While Dave was gone I borrowed a jogger so I could run with the kids. Yikes- pushing a stroller while running is HARD. I'm never buying one of these so I never have to do it again. But it was a gloriously beautiful morning. I love Texas.

 It was 'red' day at school for Quinn. She had nothing to wear, so she borrowed this dress from Veda. They are already sharing clothes

 Having fun at Target

 I helped in Quinn's classroom last week. Kindergarten teachers are amazing. I can't imagine doing what they do every day. It was fun to see Quinn in her new element.

 Veda walking to a play date. She is growing up way too fast.

 More books. And pig tails.
