Golden Birthday

This year Addie turned 6 on November 6th, making it her golden birthday.  I wanted to do a gold party, but quickly learned that is not so exciting for a six year old and there is not a whole lot of gold stuff out there in way of party supplies.  Instead we found out a few weeks before her birthday that there would be no school on her actual birthday, so what better way to celebrate then with a pajama and pancakes party!  We had a good time with eight of her friends and were sad for those who couldn't make it.  We had breakfast, a donut eating contest, pancake relay, and a pinata!  Addie looked forward to her birthday for so long and loved every minute of it!

Halloween

We went trick or treating on Halloween with some of our friends.  We walked down and up one street filling the girls' buckets with candy!  The girls were all tuckered out after that so we headed home to count and organize the candy.

Trunk or Treat

Our ward had a trunk or treat the night before Halloween, so that meant double the candy this year!

Halloween Party

Our friends hosted a fun Halloween party this year.  The weather was perfect and the girls were so excited to dress up in their costumes, finally!  Addie was a princess and Izze was a witch fairy.  There was so much yummy food, fun games, and prizes.

Play School

Since Addie has started school she loves to come home and hold her own school for her dolls.  It keeps her busy for hours and it is so fun to listen in on what she is teaching them.

Kindergarten

Addie is officially in kindergarten at Wallin Elementary!  She is so excited to be a Wallin Wildcat.  After we dropped her off yesterday, Izze said "we forgot Addie".  It was so cute and funny.  Izze asks a few times each morning where Addie is and when is she coming home.

Number 3

Last weekend we celebrated Izze's third birthday!  She was super excited and loves to tell everyone she is 3 now, sometimes she even likes to say she is 10 or 5 like Addie, but most days she is 3.  We went to St. George for the weekend and spent some time with Andrew's family as well.  Izze did all the things she loves for her birthday, we went swimming, she got a slip-n-slide, ate hot dogs, and the frosting on the cupcakes.  Addie was so cute to call her the "birthday girl" all weekend.

Impromptu Trip

A few weeks ago we packed our bags and made the trek to see my family in SLC.  We had to fill up with gas first, as I was finishing up Addie asked, "are we there yet?" and I just had to laugh and told her we hadn't even started!  Needless to say it was a bit of a long drive as she continued to ask how much longer every hour or less.  Addie and Izze were super excited to see their cousins that we haven't seen in a while.   It was a quick trip and we packed a lot in, wish we had a few more days to see everyone we missed though!
Swimming in Grandma Jensen's backyard, it started pouring and it was kind of chilly!

Independence Day

We celebrated our Independence Day by staying at a hotel so we could go swimming and pretend to be on vacation :)  The only picture I took was of the girls watching the iPad before bed and Izze had just fallen asleep.  We also had a BBQ with some of our friends and did fireworks.  It rained most of the afternoon and the weather was very pleasant for fireworks.
