Happy Halloween

October 31, 2011 -

For Halloween both Marley and Rowynne were Fairy Princesses. They had matching tutus, wings and even a crowns and a wand. I was excited about this year because Rowynne is the age where Halloween actually means something. She might not have had a clue as to why we were dressing up or started going door to door. But when that first person put that piece of candy in her bag she was all for it. She would get so excited about going to each door, it was so much fun watching her this year. Plus it made it that more fun since Marley was with us this year. She was the one that said "Trick or Treat" since Rowynne hasn't got that one down yet. Next year maybe we will have all three with us! Can't wait!

The girls all ready to start "Trick or Treating"

Fairy Princesses

First Door....

The doors with candy out on the door step where a bit of a learning curve. The girls thought the buckets were fair game we had some melt downs trying to pull them away after taking only one piece.

The Look of fear on Marley's face is classic. Some of the decor on the doors was a little too scary for the little ones. There were a couple doors the girls didn't even want to get near... not even for candy!

Trick or Treat

One of the houses we went to had this really cool toy dispenser. The girls loved trying to use the joy stick to grab a prize. We let them do it a couple of times.... shhhh don't tell!

The girls at the end of the night with the loot. They actually did really well for a 3 year old and a 18 month old. More candy for the parents!

Rowynne with her candy... She was loving Halloween.

Can't wait till next year!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

October 31, 2011 -

Cory's Family has a big Pumpkin carving party before Halloween, but since this year Cory had class and Rowynne fell asleep I was the only one who had carved there pumpkin. So on Halloween my sister Gillian decided that she was going to finish our pumpkins for Halloween.

Marley and Gillian carving the Pumpkins

Marley helped pick out the designs that Gillian carved. She kept trying to put the pieces that Gillian was carving from the pumpkin back in the holes. It was hilarious. Gillian would pull it out and then Marley would put it back in. So cute.

Sister Love - BOO

Thanks for the matching shirts Aunt Robyn!

Happy Halloween from the Ivins Girls!

Three Little Skeletons

October 30, 2011 -

For Halloween my Mom/Nana got the girls matching Skeleton jammies. The night before Halloween we had to get them out so they would be in the Halloween spirit. The best part was that the Skeleton was glow in the dark and both Rowynne and Marley would totally freak out scared when we turned out the lights and showed them the Skeleton in the mirror. I guess even Pink Skeleton jammies can be scary to the under 3 crowd.

Marley - 3 (almost)

Happy Halloween!

Cupcakes

October 29, 2011 -

While my sister and dad were here for the week after Kynnedi was born, Gillian decided to make cupcakes with the girls. Gillian is a big fan of anything sweet so Cupcakes was the logical idea.

The girls were excited to bake cupcakes, any excuse for these two kids to lick the egg beaters!

Side Note: Marley and Rowynne had gotten into the headbands/bows so that would be the reason for the interesting head ware in these photos! LoL

Rowynne is already trying to taste the batter

These two are great helpers... Even if their choice of headgear is a little weird

Rowynne digging into the yummy Cupcakes they made... No hands!

Marley eating her fair share of the cupcakes.... this one used a Fork!

Going Home

October 28, 2011 -

We decided to only stay at the Hospital for 24 hours after my delivery. If both baby and I were doing well I wanted to be home with my other baby sooner rather than later. So we left the hospital friday night late... Kynnedi wore the same outfit home that Rowynne did. It's amazing what just a pound can do on a newborn because Kynnedi fit in the outfit perfectly but Rowynne had gone home swimming in the same outfit. It was a funny comparison, I wonder if Kynnedi will keep up on her bigger status and one day be bigger than her older sister! LoL

Kynnedi in her car seat..... She slept the whole way like a perfect angel!

When we got home we were greeted with a very excited Rowynne. When I put Kynnedi in the porta-crib by our bed Rowynne wanted to jump right in with her. I let it slide this one time...
