Our Beautiful Girls~

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Yesterday, we went to take pictures of the girls for our Kitchen wall. Kyndra was very excited because she just got her hair cut. She has been begging me to cut her hair shorter, so we finally did. I think it turned out cute. The timing was perfect for pictures. Lynzee is now 6 months old. How time flies when your having fun. And with these three, I'm not sure where the time has gone. They are a blast.

Stronger Than A Rock!!

I found this picture of Shayli and thought it was perfect. Especially after the week she has had. I am so proud of her. She has had a pretty rough time at school being one of just a very few who wanted John McCain for president. This past Monday they had a mock election and she was one of two kids in her whole grade that voted for John McCain. It was no surprise that she would vote for him. She has debated with many kids at school about the subject. Living in Obama country, she has had many to debate with. Anyway, she was pretty harassed about it. Not only about who she would vote for but also about her religion and a few other things. This girl would NOT back down. She stood strong for what she believed in and wasn't ashamed to let the other kids know. I could tell she had had quite the day when I picked her up from school. As a parent it really tugged at the heart strings. I was so proud of her for standing strong and for not giving in. Proud of her for sticking up for what she believes is right. I wouldn't have been so brave in the 6th grade. I don't know if I would be that brave now. She is a great example to me & I am so proud of her. She has definitely been as strong as a rock this week!! LOVE YA SHAY!!

Happy Halloween!!

Well, another Halloween has come and gone and once again we have WAY to much candy at our house. The worst part....the girls go to school and the candy sits home with me. That is not a good scenario. Anway, it was a great weekend! Lynzee was a ghost (kinda), Kyndra was a Southern Belle and Shayli was a boring pre-teenager who wanted to pass out the candy instead of collect it. She is only 11!!! Why on earth would she not want to dress-up?? I still love to trick-or-treat. Oh well!! My favorite part of Halloween is still carving the pumpkins. They were so expensive this year so we got two little tiny ones, but it was a blast watching the girls dig out the "guts" and carve the face. Fall is my favorite season, even if the weather never changes around here, it is nice to imagine the nice cool air and beautiful colors on the trees.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!!
