Happy Halloween!!!

We had a quiet halloween this year. The girls are still too young to know what is going on so we stayed home to hand out candy.(Plus Jason is gone for bball..they won their first game tonight!!!)Unfortunately, we had only 10 trick-or-treaters!!! We live at the end of a cul-de-sac with a lot of empty lots past us so I think kids didn't want to come this way for only 3 houses, of which 2 did not have their lights on! Gretchen did have a party at gymnastics on Wednesday so she dressed up then! I was feeling bad about not having a costume for Enna so she was a homemade M&M for two minutes for pics. G did not really cooperate for them so they are not real great!! Happy Halloween!

Birthday princess

It was a few days early but we celebrated Gretchen's 2nd birthday on Sunday. She had some friends over and received some really nice gifts. I think she enjoyed it!! Not sure she really knew quite what it was all about but had a good time!! Tomorrow is the real day! We hope to have a special day with her!!

Grandma and grandpa visit!!

Grandpa Dale playing with Enna

This past weekend grandma and grandpa Henry were here to visit. The girls really enjoyed spending time with them. They were here at a perfect time as Enna really started to jibber jabber this weekend!! She told some great stories!! They also were here for Gretchen's birthday party on Sunday afternoon. They were a HUGE help for mom and dad as grandpa helped hang things on the walls and grandma helped prepare for and host the party. Mom and dad would have been lost without them!! Thanks sooooooo much for the help grandma and grandpa!! We love you!!!

Miss Independent

This will be the fashion trend this winter!!
She wouldn't let me get a full body shot so I had to catch her on the run!

Happy Baby!!

Gretchen has decided she likes to tell me what she will be wearing. The swimsuit over her clothes is one of her favorite looks. She likes Dora and a lady I work with had this suit from her daughter so she gave it to me. Of course it had to be put on immediately!! The plaid outfit is actually Enna's DRESS size 3 months. Which is kind of interesting because Gretchen really could have worn it as shirt this summer if I would have been thinking!! I'll have to check out other options like this.They could really share clothes that way!! Ha Ha!

Soooooo tired!

Don't worry I moved her to the crib!!

"No Gretchen, you can't play with the camera and your bottom lip isn't going to get me to give in!!

Gretchen thought that 3:30am would be a nice time to wake up today. Daddy took her and tried to get her back to sleep but I'm not sure if that ever happened. I was dealing with Enna at that time so I joined them around 4:30 to try and end the "its time to get up" idea G had. Jason had morning practice and left shortly after 5. By then the going back to sleep hope had diminished so I (being the great mother that I am) plopped Gretchen in front of the TV with cartoons and layed on the couch. Enna also decided it would be nice to be awake so she joined us. It was a struggle of "Gretchen don't touch your sister, PLEASE don't poke her eye,etc....." until about 7 am when she finally fell asleep in the recliner. Thank God Enna was also ready to resume sleeping. We were able to get a couple more hours of sleep in for the day. It is now 2 pm and we are still in our jammies. It is cold and rainy out, ideal weather to be lazy. Have a great weekend!!

Big News!!!

Enna rolled over today!!! 5 months one day old!!! (Ha ha to all of those who thought the "Big News" would be me pregnant!!)

Weekend Fun

On the way to Spearfish
Nappin' Losing all our $$

This weekend was homecoming at daddy's work. We went to the parade and football game. We also had friends from ND in town, Jason and Kristy Horner. Mom and dad went to Deadwood with them on Saturday night. The girls went to mommy's friend Mandie's house in Spearfish. Mandie and Troy have FIVE boys so they were up for a little girl time!!! The boys loved having them there and the girls had fun too!! Of course I forgot to take pics of all of them together. I will next time for sure though!

Flashback

Enna 5 months

Gretchen 2 months

This was one of my favorite outfits of Gretchen's. Daddy would call her the candy cane because she wore it around Christmas time. Unfortunately with the girls being born at different times of the year, today was the first day cool enough for Enna to wear it and it is entirely too small. Makes sense considering it is a 0-3 month and she will be 5 months tomorrow!! But I had to have her wear it once and take a pic!!

Day Home with Mom

I love my sister!!!!

ignore this little pic I can't get it off of here!!

Tummy Time!!

Today was a lazy day home with the girls. Gretchen had gymanstics this morning and then we went to work to see daddy for a few minutes. He starts basketball today so it is busy time from now until March for him!! Us girls will have to find ways to stay busy!! Hope you are all doing well!!
