The Cutest Picture

My sister Kelly and her family came to our house for Thanksgiving. Of course I forgot to take pictures while they were here but did capture this precious photo of McKenzie and Gretchen. Seriously, have you ever seen a picture this cute? I didn't think soo!!!

A bunch of stuff

It's been a few weeks so thought I would just put up some random pictures. The girls are getting excited to go to ND for Christmas and see their grandparents and cousins.

Awards day at gymnastics, preeeeeesent!
Enna sandwich!! Love this pic!!

Our PATHETIC attempt at a gingerbread house. In our defense, the two roof pieces were broken when we opened the box. The girls had fun licking icing anyway!!

Um, for some reason Jason had them laying on the kitchen floor taking pictures?

They insisted on sharing this milk bottle. Straw anyone?!!

Sisterly love in our matching jammies!!

We haven't been up to much around here lately!! Daddy is in full swing with basketball. We just finished our week alone with no daddy, we survived but we sure missed him!!! The hardrockers had a disappointing weekend, losing all three games on the road. We really wish they could figure out how to win away from home!!!

We are so sweet!!
and Silly!!!

and CRAZY!!!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

We had a monkey on the loose in our house tonight!!! Daddy took her trick-or-treating with Jarek and his dad around the neighbor hood. Enna and mommy handed out candy to the kids, but were bummed because they only had like 18 total visitors :(

Even remembered her banana!!

Gretchen's Birthday Party

We had Gretchen's birthday party this weekend. A few days early but it worked out best with daddy's schedule. Grandma and Grandpa Ryan came from Minot and Auntie Jenny, Noella, Archer, and Sanna came from Hillsboro and surprised us!!! SO much fun. Thanks you guys. Plus Grandma and Auntie helped mommy soooo much for the party. Thank you, thank you,thank you!!!!

The Birthday Girl.

The big birthday girl, Gretchen Olivia, we love you sweetie.

Pumpkin Patch and Maze at Bear Country

We went to Bear Country to see the baby bear cubs,other animals,pumpkins, and to go through the maze. It was a beautiful day,perfect to be outside.

The gang, Tate,Isaac, Baron, Gretchen,Enna, and Cannon. Thanks Lyndsi for the invite. We had a lot of fun!!

Gretchen's haircut

Gretchen finally got a haircut!!

Proud Mommy and Daddy!!

Miss Gretchen received an award today at gymnastics!! She did great bear crawls and knew what the straddle position was when asked. We are so proud of our little Gretchie!! The coach said she had a great day!! Way to go G!! Now, could you listen at home? Ha ha!!!

Enna really wanted her pic taken too, but couldn't keep her eyes open!

Gretchen holding Carl's(Jason's player) little girl Brooke! She is three weeks old and a little sweet pea. Gretchen only liked holding her if she didn't cry!!

Goooooooo ROCKERS!!!!!!

Here are the '09-'10 SDSMT Hardrockers

The boys came over Monday night to watch the Viking/Packer game. The next day two of the guys found out they have swine flu!!! Lucky us, now Jason is sick in bed. We are hoping the girls and myself do not get sick!!!

The Seniors...Kyle, Robbie, and Carl

notice the snow ball marks on the backboard. Poor Robbie the entire team started whipping snow balls at them and he couldn't get down so he just had to take it!!
The team... be sure to follow the boys throughout the season. Go Rockers!!

Homecoming

It was homecoming week at daddy's school so we headed to the parade on Saturday. We also hit the volleyball games and football game. We won one vb game and the football game! Go Rockers!!!!!!

We stood by a really awesome family who kept giving us their candy and at the end of the parade gave Gretchen this pretty balloon. She was so excited!!
Cheeeeeese! I love candy!!

Going in for the goods.

Gretchen after her bath in her super warm and fluffy towel from our cousins Ryan, Barb, Max, and George Henry. Thank you we love the new towels!!

Enna being her silly self.

Gretchen's hair

We were going to attempt to cut this mop a little bit, actually a lot, but Miss Gretchen didn't quite understand the instructions. We managed to get about an inch off all around. Her Aunt Colleen was so nice to give her her very first hair cut. I know crazy right since she is almost 3!!! Thank you Auntie Colleen!!

There are no after pics since we didn't get a whole lot off this time!!

Auntie Colleen stayed with us and wouldn't you know Gretchen sat nice and still so she could french braid her hair. It is kicking and screaming for me to try and get a pony tail in!!! Love how kids are always better for others!! Wish Auntie could live with us and do her hair everyday!!

Front view of the braids

It's been too long since we've posted!!

So mom has been slacking on the blog, sorry!!! We have not been doing much just busy with day to day life. Spent some time with our families over the long weekend but I didn't take any pictures. Nice huh? So here are a few from the last month.

The girls with our neighbor, Jordan. Love how Enna is in the process of attacking Gretchen and she has no clue!!! Little stinker I tell ya!!

Rally Girls

Daddy decided to dress the girls like bikers since it is the rally. Nice huh? Two and a half year old and one year old in Jager bandannas(Is that even what they are called? spelling?)

Gretchen's First Dental Visit!!!

Gretchen had her first dental visit on Tuesday!!! Good thing mommy was her hygienist because she was a little worried about some of the things I had to do. She did AWESOME, and I almost got pictures of her teeth, so close, next time for sure!!

Miss Enna had to check out my office while she waited for sister to get done.
Opening wide for mommy

Such a big girl!!

Ready to start!!!
