Casual Friday

She is so excited for Halloween and has been asking to go trick-or-treating for the last couple of weeks.  I have a feeling this year is going to be the best Halloween yet.

Koriann doesn't have school on fridays so we just try to hang out and relax.  Well we had been outside playing all morning and came in for lunch and Koriann got undressed and put on one of her costumes.  It was so freaking hilarious because then she turned on a game to play and just played her game and acted like it was completely normal to being wearing a costume.  We love this girl so freaking much and her cute little personality.

My big Girl!!

 She is so careful and hasn't had an accident.  I LOVE that she loves to paint nails and doesn't like it when they aren't painted.

Koriann is seriously the best 3 almost 4 year EVER!!  She hardly ever whines, is very polite and gives kisses to us freely.  For instance I hadn't had a shower yet for the day and Aspen was finally napping, Koriann wanted to paint her nails again so she got out her painting board and I let her paint nails.  I din't even worry that she wouls spill or anything while I was showering.  She is very responsible and always paints on the board and has wipes close by.  Koriann is so independant and smart.  I am so grateful for everything she teaches me and the happiness she brings to our home.

Wild ride!!

Aspen and Koriann love to play outside all day  LONG!!  Thank goodness they like to do things together.  Koriann is really careful going around turn and hasn't tipped Aspen over yet.  Aspen just thinks it's the greatest thing ever and soaks in every minute.

Pre-School 2012

 Koriann picked out her own outfit and loaded her dora backpack up with every crayon and notebook she could find.

 LOVE this girl so so much and her poses!!

 How is it that she is going too her 2nd year of school already.  She has grow so much.

This little chicka pee was so so excited to start up school again.  It was really hard having to wait the 2 weeks after the grade schools started because the buses go by our house everday and all Koriann wanted was to be riding them.  But finally the day came when we could get all dressed up and wait for that big yellow bus.  This year she didn't even hesitate, she more so ran and jumped on.  I was really sad and happy that school started, mostly because Koriann LOVES it so so much.  She loves going everyday and is so excited to tell me about her day.  She has progressed so much this last year and we are excited to see what a new year brings.

16 Months!!!

Aspen is now 16 months and time is just flying!!!  She has grow up so much this last little while and now she honestly thinks she can do everything on her own.

 LOVES all thing tractors, cars, trucks and basically anything with wheels to push or ride around.

Yard Work

 LOVE my castor beans!!  I now like that my neighbors can't see us when we are outside.

We finally were able to plant the front yard!!!  Yay, no more dust and mud!!  It has already started to sprout and I am loving it.  Zeke worked really hard as usual and prepped the ground and everything else involved and I have the job to keep it wet during the day.  We are just so excited to finally have this project done and we can't wait to do a few more in the next few weeks.

Coloring!!

 LOVE this little girl to death and the funny things she does.

This little honey bee LOVES to color.  It is so funny cause when she sees a pen and paper she gets so excited and just grabs and reaches for it with all her might.  When she is around Koriann she will go far away from Koriann and hide her crayons and paper!  Aspen could actually color 24/7 if I would let her.

Koriann and her bike

 LOVE this little girl so so much!!

Every minute Koriann isn't swimming she is out riding her bike.  She has gotten very good this year at it.  We have gone on some long bike rides and she never complains and just keeps on pedaling.  She has even mastered the sliding stop, I have a feeling we will be going through quite a few back tires.  She has only crashed a handful of times and she just gets up and keeps going like nothing happened.

Mark Em' Out

We have decided that Aspen was born to be a rough stock rider.  Everytime she gets on her rocking horse she puts her feet up on the withers ans marks them out and goes wild ridin' her horse.  It is the funniest thing to watch and Zeke is SO PROUD!!

Pedicures

                                 Aspen was so cute and held her foot out for Zeke to paint.

 She was seriously in heaven and thought it was the best thing ever that DAD was doing them.

                                  I LOVE that Zeke will do anything for his girlies!!

One Saturday evening me and Koriann started to paint our toenails for church like we do every Saturday, and Aspen wanted hers done too.  Except she was being kind of impatient and wanted them done ASAP!!  She started to get really mad so Zeke being the  #1 dad that he is started to paint Aspens'.  She was in heaven and held really still for her daddy.  I must add that they looked really good when they were done.
