Emberli


Seriously...who can resist that face? She can melt anyone with that smile. This girl is such a ball of energy....all the time. She loves going to gymnastics, and she is doing a great job. She has been moved up to a bigger kid class. She is doing really good at forward rolls, and straddle rolls, she is learning how to do cartwheels now as well.

Fall Party


Isabella had her Fall Party at school. She dressed as a butterfly. They had lots of fun, they made pumpkins, and did crafts, and played games. And, of course, got loads of goodies.

Lil' Chef

I love having the girls help me in the kitchen. Bella especially loves to put on an apron and help me "cook." I use that term lightly because as most of you know, I don't cook much. I do like to, but I just don't have the time. I like to cook with recipes, but only if they have pictures. I want to know what the finished product is supposed to look like. I do love to bake.

Birthday Party







I beileve most of Bella's friends were born in the Fall, because we went to a birthday party every weekend for like a month. It was a crazy and busy month. But, Bella had lots of fun at the parties, and so did Emberli when she had to tag along as well. Emberli loves playing with Bella's friends and of course, eating the cake.



Soccer

Isabella did such a great job at soccer. There came a point in the season where we had to teach her to only take the ball from the other team and not her own teammates. Her and her friend were very comptetitve and they would fight each other for the ball because they wanted to be the one to score. It was really cute, but needed to be fixed. Bella did an amazing job this season, seeing as it was only her first time playing soccer.....ever!

Bella is 5!!!






















































I can't believe Bella is already turning 5 years old. I still remember the day we found out we were having her. It is crazy how time flies sooo fast! She is such a sweet little princess and we thank God everyday for her. She has been such a blessing to our lives. She is a great big sister and an amazing daughter. We love you sooo much baby girl!








Painting Pumpkins





We bought pumpkins at the pumpkin patch, so the girls wanted to paint them. They did a great job and had a really good time.

Pumpkin Patch






























Well, we took our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch this fall. The girls had fun...it was a long day, but a great family day. It is really nice to be able to get out with all four of us and do activities. My schedule gets crazy sometimes with the coaching duties I have, but when we can go do things as a family, it is really nice. The girls picked pumpkins, went on a hayride, picked flowers, fed goats, and got their face painted.









Another Birthday Party
























The girls went to a birthday party for one of Bella's friends. Both girls had a great time. It is funny how Emberli always manages to get cake and get it everywhere.




Church


The girls got ready early one Sunday and so they wanted to take some pictures. Just love these girls!!!

Big Slide




Emberli is finally "big" enough to play on the big slides. I think Bella likes it because she has someone to play with now. Before she would get sooo tired and bored of playing by herself. I thinks she likes having someone to play with now.
