Decorating 'Aulani's Tree

Today we went to go and change the decorations on 'Aulani's tree from the fall decorations to her pink Christmas ones.

First we went to the store to pick up a few small decorations and the kids got a candy cane from Santa

Cute little Emma playing with the decorations

The kids decided they wanted to go for a walk

We got new solar lights for her and the two little Christmas stakes

And here's her tree!

32 Months

It is getting harder and harder to take pictures of the kids at the same time.

Here's the pictures of all three of the kiddos

Conner:
- Will ask "What's that?" and then answer his own question
       - Sometimes when he asks he'll say the wrong answer on purpose and then say "no" and then 
       he'll say the right answer.

Emma wanted in on some action

Emma:
- Loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates
       - Says pirate (pie-pet), skully, and Captain Hook is (Hooky)
- She'll ask "Where go?" and hold out her hands, tilt her head, and sometimes crinkle her face. So cute!
- She loves hugging and kissing pictures and her stuffed animals
- Animal is "aminimal"

Visiting 'Aulani

Since Eric had the day off today we decided to go and visit 'Aulani

You can see Conner's kiss mark underneath April

You can barely see Emma going for a walk by herself. She's the little white dot on the road towards the top of the picture

Giving her sister a flower and I brought a cookie for her

Later in the day I came back since it was such a nice day and had a little picnic with her

October Happenings

Here are some things we did/that happened this past month:

We went on a Sunday walk and the kids had to stop at every spot that had rocks and someone's driveway that had "fun" puddles to play in

Emma's funny little smile

Trying on a princess dress. I think it's a little too big

Conner's box hat

There was a super sale at the local grocery store. It was crazy!!!

Conner got into the tub with water, with his clothes on while Emma stood outside naked

Our Halloween door that I worked on during Conference

The kids' sweet morning hair. Before on top and After on bottom

We went on another Sunday walk and made good use of the wagon

Eric got the kids, especially Emma, to laugh pretty hard

Conner can count to 10

Eric surprised me with these beautiful flowers

I made a gigantor crocheted hamburger

Emma daintily eating something while holding my purse

Matching toes!

For Early Intervention one day instead of the therapists coming to our home we met them at a park

We lit a candle in memory of 'Aulani for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Emma ate some spaghetti!

Eric and I were bored one night so we decided to sort some change. I think we ended up having over $100 in change!

The box hat again

I finally got her to wear her tutu I made her for her 2nd birthday

I found a long gray hair :(

Emma tried out a new style

The kids checking out their new nightlight that changes colors (which they later broke)

'Aulani's bear's Halloween costume

Another one of Emma's new styles

Emma spilled water on the floor so I made her wipe it up

Eating some cheese in her pjs

Winking like Mickey Mouse

I went for a short little walk with the kids. You can't tell very well in the pictures but they're holding hands

My happy little girl

Conner knows his shapes

A beautiful sunrise. If it wasn't for the light posts and cars and things I would frame this picture.

I accidentally fell asleep while I was supposed to be watching the kids and Emma got into her fingernail polish. Luckily it's the cheap kind so it wasn't that big of a deal.
