Enjoying the Fall...

Living in McCall you never know what weather you will get when. October usually is a very back and forth month, between cold, freezing and nice fall weather. We have been lucky this year and have had more of the actual fall weather I love. When the weather is nice the girls and I like to think of everything and anything we can do outside to enjoy it while it lasts.
Here is a picture of the girls in our backyard by our stream. The stream is my favorite thing about our piece of land. We can hear the stream at night from our bedroom windows. It is the best.

Here is a picture with Danner our neighborhood dog. She goes from home to home and everyone loves her. I would take this dog anyday if her owners would let us. The girls have so much fun with her. We spend lots of our day playing outside with her.

WOOO WEEE

Here is a picture of Aspen as she is telling me "EWWW mommy WOOO WEEE" She had gotten me the diaper changing pad, wipes and a diaper. It has been really funny to watch her because now everytime she goes WOO WEE she leans her body back, like get this out now! I hope this is a sign that potty training will be easy with her.

A funny side note. Brock was watching her the other day and she came to him saying "EWWW daddy" She then showed him her fingers which were brown. And he said "where did you get chocolate?" Very quickly realizing that it wasn't chocolate. She had reached her fingers down her diaper to scratch her itchy bum and came out with a bonus!! I know Brock didn't find that funny but I was laughing pretty hard when he told me.

Pumpkin Carving

On Monday we carved a pumpkin as a family. Not really my favorite thing to do but the girls love it. Kamden actually stuck her hands in the pumpkin this year to get the "squishy seeds" as she calls it. I was surprised because she does not like to get her hands dirty at all. I wasn't sure how Aspen would be with it, since last year she was pretty tiny. Well she loved it. Although every handful she pulled out she put in her mouth thinking she wanted to eat it!
As you can see they love their creation. Kamden made a mean face and kept telling Brock and I exactly how to carve the pumpkin all the while she is still making the mean face up until the pumpkin got finished. She is pretty proud of the outcome!

Speaker Phone...

So I walked into the girls playroom the other day and found Kamden talking in to a play Microphone pretending to cry really hard and I asked her what was the matter? She said " when you are up at the speaker phone at church you cry" Then she told us it was Aspen and my turn and we both had to cry when we talked into the speaker phone." My attention only lasted so long for this game as I had a lot of other things to do but she quickly pulled me back and said "Mommy you need to listen to me it is the spirit talking. "

I thought this was pretty funny so I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget. It probably is a hard concept to understand when you are young why people cry at the microphone in church.

Bucket Head...

For some reason Aspen loves to put this bucket on her head. She would wear it to the store if I let her. Here she is posing for a picture.

Sleepy Girl

I got this picture of Aspen as she just woke up.

Memory

On Sunday Brock, Kamden and I played a game of Memory. I just have this question, how can a 4 year old beat her parents? We weren't even helping her, we ourselves were trying to win. I remember my mom told me the same thing, that I always used to beat her at the game too when I was young. Anyway Kamden was sure excited that she beat us both, she kept telling us how many matches she got, compared to how many we got. :)
