~Halloween 2011 & Then Some~

There are a TON of pictures in this post, so I'll just let the pictures talk for themselves!

Sweet girls sitting in the windowsill together, love it! Thank you Mammaw and Papaw for the adorable Halloween bags!


Last thursday Jayda's school had a Halloween parade and Halloween party. Sydney and I got to stay and watch the parade. It was so cute getting to see all the little ones in their costumes. Jayda was so excited that we were there to see her!

Two little Cinderellas all dressed up and ready for the parade at school. Jayda wanted Sydney to dress up too, so she did.


The girls walking into school with Keirsten on thursday morning.


Sydney likes to act like she's in Jayda's class too. :)


Waiting in her classroom for the parade, yay!!


She had to show me the candy she got from Pastor Marty in the parade.


Little miss Cinderella made it all the way up and down the stairs with heels on and all.


Jayda's class all dressed up for Halloween with their teachers.


Sydney wanted some rollers in her hair like Jayda. Jayda loved putting the rollers in to make her hair curly like Cinderella.


Silly girls up on the toy bins before bed one night.


Jayda loves to get in bed with Sydney when she wakes up, such a sweet picture!


Last friday we went to The Woodlands Childrens Musuem with our good friends Andrea and Sara. We had a great time playing with Sara and going to lunch with them afterwards.

We also ran into my cousin Ree, and her little girls Cecilia and Charlotte. It was so fun getting to see them and play together also. Jayda and Ceci making a little craft at the musuem.


The girls loved playing in the sand boxes, so fun!


Sydney had lots of fun driving the fire truck, watch out people!


Jayda wanted to dress up as a fireman and push her groceries around.


Eating Krazy Kolors ice cream after lunch, whoa look at that blue mouth after only one bite!


Last friday night we had The Sanders over for one last dinner together. They are moving away this weekend and we are very sad. :( We did have a nice dinner and had a great time hanging out and letting the kiddos play. Still think I'm in denial about them leaving, sniff, sniff!

Gonna miss seeing this little face all the time!


Sweet girls in the bath together. They love each other!


Jayda had her last soccer game this past saturday. She had a lot of fun playing soccer for the first season and says that she wants to play again in the spring. We had a great time watching and cheering her on. So proud of her!

Daddy was the coach for the last game so Jayda loved that!


Warming up before the game.


Ready to kick the ball in to play.


Jayda with her soccer team after getting their trophys, so exciting!


My little tree climber after her soccer game.


Sydney had to get in the tree too, of course.


On saturday afternoon Jayda and I made some delicious and cute Halloween treats. Here she is putting the eyes on Mommy's favorite, nutterbutter ghosts.


Our finished products, owl cupcakes and nutterbutter ghosts. She did such a great job and everything was so yummy!


Later on saturday we all carved a pumpkin together. I drew the face, Jayda pulled the insides out, Sydney stirred the seeds around in the bowl, and daddy carved the face for us. We had lots of fun carving the pumpkin.

Jayda loved pulling the insides out!


And Sydney enjoyed stirring the seeds and insides around like it was soup.


Having some owl cupcakes outside after carving our pumpkin.


Yummy!


Our "scary" pumpkin, per Jayda's request.

Getting their faces painted. Jayda was really excited about this.


Sydney wanted to get hers done as well.


Pretty little butterfly.


And Syd got a flower.


Jayda found one of her classmates, Gayton, dressed up as a police officer.


Neighbors!


Heading up the slide on the bounce house, woo-hoo!


Sweet girls taking a horsey ride at the festival.


Heading out on Halloween night to go trick or treating, YAY! The wagon did not last long though, they all wanted to walk.


Three little girlies all dressed up on Halloween.


L-O-V-E! Cinderella and Strawberry Shortcake.


Jayda met up with Ashley, a friend from her soccer team, on Halloween night also.


"Trick or Treat!"


SOOOO happy to get CANDY! Seriously, this is so exciting to them!


Trick or treating at another house. We went to several houses on Halloween and they loved every minute of it!


The house where we get a picture of them every year. Sydney was part of the picture this year too.


Anybody home?


Sweet girls on the way home from trick or treating.


We had to stop by Riley and Aiden's house when we got back, and we found the little pumpkin with his pj's on. :)


WOW, we are gonna have candy forever!

Great Weekend in San Antone!

First have to start off with a few cute pics I took earlier last week...

Little munchkin enjoying the swing at the park.


Sydney loves to swing! Little did we know the little puppy that we'd find was right in front of us under the slide.


Sweet little puppy that we found at the park. She was so cute, but luckily we found the owner later that day. She and her owner were very happy to be reunited! The girls on the other hand were not so excited to give her back.


This past weekend my sweet friend and neighbor, Michelle, and I went to the Women of Faith conference in San Antonio. We had an amazing time, learned so much, and just simply relaxed and rejuvenated. It was SO nice to get away and spend some quality time with other women, so fun! Huge thanks to Scott, Nana and Pawpaw, and Jacob for all helping take care of the girls so that I could go away for the weekend. You are all amazing and I appreciate y'all SO much!

Michelle and I on the last day in our cute matching hats and shirts!


Jacob had some work to do in San Antonio on monday, so he decided to bring the girls down to SA with him so that we could have a little mini vacation. I was so happy to see them! We stayed for 2 more nights down on the riverwalk and had a great time together. We went swimming several times at the hotel pools and hot tubs, enjoyed a couple meals down on the riverwalk, took a boat tour, and went on a horse and carriage ride one evening. The girls loved coming to SA and Jayda already keeps asking when we are going back.

Jacob and Jayda at the County Line on the riverwalk for lunch one afternoon.


Mommy and Sydney at lunch.


Going out on the boat tour, yay!


Taking a horse and carriage ride. The girls were so excited about this!


Sweet sisters enjoying the ride.


Miss Syd out playing at the soccer field playground. The girls love to play at the park before Jayda's soccer practice.


Daddy got home early yesterday and got to come out to Jayda's last soccer practice, sniff, sniff. They loved playing at the park with daddy!


About to go down the slide, woo-hoo!


"Weeeeee!"


Sydney just had to get out there and play a little soccer with Jayda.


Sydney thinks she's such a big girl!


Jayda and one of her teammates at practice, so cute!


Sydney likes to sit on her ball and watch sister practice.


She is so ready to play, too bad she has to be 4!


Jayda's little team holding their coach's thank you card at the last practice of the season.


Out at the park this morning.


"Come here duck-ducks!"
