Happy Halloween!

Such a sweet little Tinker Bell!

She loved this costume and truly felt like a princess!

Olivia and Parker...it doesn't get any cuter than this!

Olivia and Kaleigh...going for the scary look this year!

Started to get a little colder, but nothing is gonna stop them!!

On a mission....

They had to ctach a ride towards the end of the night...that's a lot of walking!!

The Erxlebens

We went to Aunt Jenny's this evening before trick or treating so that Jenny and Dina could see Olivia in her costume! She wanted to be Tinker Bell this year, which Aunt Jenny had picked out for her at her birthda party! So, that was even more exciting for her!! She loved her costume and looked so stinkin' cute!!! After Aunt Jenny's, we went to Dave and Joyce's to meet up with that clan and walked around Lake Camelot. The kids always have a good time, and although it is exhausting, they get lots and lots of candy! Another successful Halloween!!!

Bath Time!

She loves, loves, loves her bath time!!!

GIft for Kathy

We were going to Kathy's to visit tonight, and Olivia wanted to make her something special...just so she didn't forget about her now that she will no longer be watching her!!! She was so excited to be making this herself...and did request Kathy to put it on her fridge!

Quiet dinner at home...

Eating the evidence!

Mommy and her little chef helper!

We spent a quiet evening at home making homemade pizzas...Olivia's favorite, cause she gets to help make them!!

Dan and Erin Beal - Congratulations!

Very nice Don....remind me never to leave my camera sitting around again!

Erin and Olivia

Olivia was in heaven....she followed her around like a shadow!

Patiently waiting for her turn on the dance floor!

We went to Dan and Erin's wedding today and had a great time at the reception! I was unable to drink however, so had to be the designated driver, which Shane took full advantage of tonight! We all had a great time..Olivia was a dancing machine, as you can see from the pictures! She loved being out on that dance floor, and wanted Erin all to herself!! If she wasn't dancing with her, she was standing on the sidelines just watching her! It was so sweet! After much dancing all night, it was time to head home. Both Olivia and Daddy fell asleep on the way home, so Mommy enjoyed a night quiet ride home!

Noah's Ark - Parent/Teacher Conference

I met with Olivia's teacher today at Noah's Ark, and she couldn't have made me more proud. She is doing great there, and I am thrilled! Her teacher, Miss Jamie, walked through all the learning activities for the year, and how well she was doing for each one. Basically, she wasn't have any trouble at all with any of the activities, which was great. She was able to count her numbers, say and recognize her letters, write her name, play well with others, use manners, etc. So, I was so excited to get the great news, and it was perfect having this information to share with her new preschool in Morton. So, we were on the right track!!

Our first visitors!

Ice cream sandwiches...this should calm them down a bit, right!?

Miss Kinley Mae

Crazies!!!

Aunt Shell and the kids, along with Tara, Emma, Crystal and Kinley came by the house to check things out today! The kids were playing like crazy people running all over the place, but boy do they have a good time!

Getting settled!

We spent the rest of the weekend getting things somewhat organized in the new house, it is going to take us a while to get there, but we are off to a great start!!! I love this part, and will enjoy getting things situated jus right..something I never did at the old house! It was never quite the way I wanted it, so I hope to get this place there soon!! We closed on the house Monday afternoon, so all is complete! We are officially the new homeowners of this place in Morton!! And, I had another doctor appointment Tuesday and am now 12 weeks along!!!

We love the new house!!!

This is our view from the backyard, as we were moving in!!

I think we are going to enjoy this view all summer!!

Part of the move crew!!

More movers!!

Good thing we got that piano into the new house right away!!

Move to Morton!!!!

Not sure they can legally drive like this, but she thought it was pretty neat to sit in the driver's seat of the Uhaul.

Daddy and Aunt Jenny

The kids were a big help, of course!

So was Uncle Don...playing a little motivational music to get everyone in the moving mood!

She asked to be packed up in the bin to be moved on the truck too!!

More helpers...playing on the ramp!! They weren't in the way at all!

Yeah, it has finally arrived...we are moving to Morton! We couldn't be any more excited, and I am just ready for it all to be done. Most people are giving me a hard time saying I planned it around the pregnancy so I didn't have to carry anything and I could just direct traffic all day, but I didn't....it just happened to work out that way, so of course, I will take advantage! It was so nice out and everyone came by to help out! I think we had done a good job of getting things packed up and read to go, so it was just pick up and head out! Shane had rented a Uhaul for the day, so we started loading it up bright and early!

Once we got to the new house, I basically stood at the doorway, telling people where everything goes! Once everything was in, Mom and Shell started unloading stuff in the kitchen to help out. I was so excited to get started and couldn't believe the day had arrived. It was a long day, and we were all exhausted that evening, but it was worth it.

Later that evening, I was in the kitchen trying to figure out what to do for dinner, and Olivia walks in and says, "Mommy, I wanna go home." It broke my heart cause she was so sweet, and I just had to explain that we are home now and this was our new home. She cried for a little bit, but I think it was the tired talking, cause she went right to sleep and was fine the next day!! But, it still broke my heart and I had to keeo reminding myself that we brought her home to the Eureka house, so that will always be home to her. But, she is going to love this new home too!!
