A Flip-Flopping Birthday Party!!!!

Payton had her 6th birthday party a week early this year. It was at Flip-Flop Gymnastic's: and we all had a flip-flopping GOOD time!! Payton woke up Saturday morning so excited and we stayed in that gear all day. She got some nice gifts and I think I need to borrow some money from her. She kept asking all day what mom and dad were giving her, we have to save something for her actually birthday, the 14th, so it will be a surprise until then. I think we will be in party mode all week at our house. We ended Saturday night at the movies with Aunt Lorlee, Mason and Wesley, seeing Madagascar 2.

Hayride Fun

We went on a hayride with some friends and family on Saturday night. We all had a great time. It wasn't real cold (by looking at the photo of David you would think it was snowing) and the girls roasted hot dogs and marshmellows. This has been a busy fall season, but we have made some great memories with the girls. The holiday season is all about being with friends and family. I know that we are so blessed to have both that we can enjoy being around. As I sit and type this; I am listening to Natalie Grant "Live 4 Today", such words of truth---count every single blessing, follow it in your way, live like there is no tomorrow, my future is in tact, my crazy life has got me spinning round and round---but holding His hand all the way. In this busy life that we lead those are words to remember.

Pumpkins and Treats!!!

What a fun night of Halloween! The girls wore their costumes to school for the AR parade. Luckily both of their costumes were people in books. Bailey was the scarecrow from 'The Wizard of Oz' and Payton was the Pirate from 'How I Became a Pirate'. We started the afternoon out by finally carving our pumpkins. For weeks the girls have been begging to carve their pumpkins. We have just been so busy that we waited until the last minutes. But the girls were glad that we finally got to carve their pumpkins. We started the night off by going to the church for 'Trunk or Treat'. It was so much fun and the girls got so much candy, hopefully I can get rid of some of it, before we are all on a sugar high around here. We ended the night with a hayride to Ms. Maxine's park for a hot dog roast and just some great time with friends. The girls finally crashed around 10:30 and David and I enjoyed watching a movie to put and end to Halloween 2008.
