Halloween

Harley was Sleeping Beauty. (Her costume was purchased at the Disney Store when it was going out of business.)
Hannah was a witch. (Which was Harley's costume Last Year.)
Hagan was a cute little bumble bee.(I found this at Marshall's and just had to have it. It has the funnest tulle under the skirt to make it all poofy.)


For Halloween this year we went to Pump It Up on Thursday night. It turned out being a lot of fun. The kids were able to jump for awhile and then they got a slice of pizza and an ice cream cone from baskin robins(they were a vendor there) Then there were vendors set up in the parking lot and the kids went trick-or-treating there. There were a good number of vendors so I didn't think the kids got jipped for not being able to go trick-or-treating on Friday. (WE were traveling to Arizona to a Family Reunion.)

Painting Pumpkins

Harley and Hannah painting their pumpkins. They did a really good job...and then they went CRAZY. I 'm learning to deal with things being not so "JUST RIGHT" They had a lot of fun....and that is what counts!

St George, UT

We were finally able to meet up with friends from Carson City in beautiful St George, UT. WoW it is such a gorgeous place. I love all that red rock.

Our friends nephew had his farewell that weekend so it was great to see all their family as well. They are this fun easy going Italian Family. They welcomed us with open arms. Thanks for that!

The girls were able to go to a place called Jumpin Jacks. It is a lot like Pump it up...but a great deal bigger. I tell you what that was a work out for me to haul Hagan up the steps to go down the slide. But it was worth it because she loved it!!!

My friend and I went to a place called Thai Pan...a home decor place. This place was huge. You can seriously be in their for hours and still not see all that there was to see. Unfortunately we did not have hours....but we did have a great time.

We also went to Zion's Park which was awesome. The leaves were changing colors. The weather was fabulous. And again the red rock was so cool. We were unable to do the tour because they did not allow pets...but we drove through and took pics. There was this tunnel that was 1.1 miles long. Every now in they had cut out a hole in the rock so it wasn't so dark!! When the girls are older I would like to go back and hike the Narrows.

We took Bo our cute dog with us. This was the first trip he has taken with us. He was really good. I never realized how many people travel with their dogs until you see them at 5:30 in the morning taking their cute dog out for a potty break. =)

Just something to make me smile!

I just have to write about Harley. When I was doing her hair this morning (an over the head ear to ear braid), I couldn't reach her. So I asked Hannah to go and get the foot stool for me. I couldn't believe just how tall she had gotten over this past summer. I kept hoping all my girls would grow up tall. But it really was a shock for me to realize that they are all growing up soooo fast.

Finally

I have been really bad getting my blogging done. This is a lot to do all at once but I know I needed to get it posted. So here it goes!

The first day of School!

The first day of school for some is so bitter-sweet. For me I'm like thank goodness!!! WE have some kind of structure again. The girls were excited to see friends again and make new ones. Harley 's main concerns were what to do about bullies. I said don't take any crap from anyone!=) She gets really tired at the end of the day because she now goes all day.

Hannah was teary eyed when I left her at Kindergarten. She kept trying to follow me out the door. Sometimes I wonder if I don't have enough emotion. Some of the Moms were crying more then the kids were. I was like heck ya I have two in school now! But I told Hannah gently but firmly that she would have a blast if she would stay and tried it out. Then I all but bribed her with ice cream. What can you do?!?

I must say that it is very quiet at my house at times. But Hagan and I are having fun with the one on one time together. Mike keeps asking me if I'm going to go back to work when Hagan is in school. I just smile and say we will cross that road when it get here!

Bo "Bodacious" Lofgreen

Meet our new addition. Bo "Bodacious" Lofgreen. Harley and Hannah have been so scared of dogs for I don't know how long. So we thought if we got a cute little dog they would slowly come to love him.
At first they would run and jump on the nearest thing to get away from Bo when he was down and running around the house. Harley started holding him as long as he stays perfectly still. Then Hannah started holding him. But they still run to the furniture when he is out.
Then there is Hagan. She absolutely loves him. She loves to boss him around and say "NO BO". So one out of three love this little guy. But I still have hopes for Harley and Hannah
