Sisters...

Here are a couple pictures of the girls that I thought were pretty cute. They have really been getting along well lately. When they play togther they often start laughing really hard, which is so fun to watch. Kamden is always the boss which is fine for now because Aspen thinks anything that Kamden does is so cool. I'm just not sure how long this will last.
In this last picture the girls were helping me make brownies and started making funny faces. They wanted their picture taken but Aspen was getting frustrated because Kamden was telling her she wasn't squeezing her cheeks the right way. So Brock stepped in to help Aspen properly squeeze for the picture!!

Friends....

So the other day when I got my hair cut my friend Shauna and I traded kids. I went first and then she went to get her hair done when I got back. It worked out pretty nicely. Kamden absolutely loves to have friends over, especially her good friend Preslee. They play so well together. I was in the other room with the baby and it had been awhile so I thought I should go check on the big kids. Well they were doing great. Actually they were playing church. Cooper the 6 yr old was baptizing them all and then they would come up in front and pretend to say prayers. After they sat down they all had a book, while looking at the book they were singing primary songs. I had to get a picture, it was too cute.
Here are the kids, Preslee, Cooper, Kamden and Aspen singing primary songs!Here is Aspen trying to be reverent to fit in with the big kids, but not really understanding why they are saying a pray in the middle of play time. :)I just love this picture. They are such good buddies. Preslee is getting ready to move in a month, Kamden is going to miss her lots!!

The New Me...

Well not really, but I got my hair cut, it is pretty much the same style I always get just a little bit shorter. I really like the length this time. I am going back to get a little brighter color done since I like it a little more drastic than it is. Well here it is, tell me what you think. I had to post this first picture because Kamden took it all by herself and was very proud of the outcome.

Chicken Curry Salad

So I have been meaning to post this recipe for a few weeks now. My sister Brinn should be given credit for it, I think she made up the recipe, but I knew she would never post it. It is really easy and yum. I am not a big curry person but I really liked this.

You boil your chicken breasts ( I used 2 large breasts), once they are done cooking you shred your chicken and then add mayo and sour cream ( I used more sour cream then mayo) as much as you like to moisten it. Then put cut up celery, carrots (optional), and then add craisins. Last you put in curry powder to taste.

Once it is all mixed up you put it on top of crackers ( I used multigrain wheat thins) and sprinkle cheese. Then bake at 350 for 5-10 min. (Brinn says that it is best with swiss cheese melted on top.)

My family ate this as a meal one night but when Brock and I were looking at it we thought it would make a great appetizer for christmas time. Here is a picture of them, not the greatest picture. They looked prettier and more appetizing in real life. I had to leave some without cheese because it looked nicer. :) You will have to let me know what you think, if any of you try the recipe.

I Love Stickers!!

Aunt Brinn was kind enough to send a little package to the girls. I thought it was funny how different my girls are. While they were opening the package of stickers, Kamden says "I think I will just place one sticker on my shirt and then use the rest for my sticker chart." Then there is Aspen and we look over and she already had all of the stickers on her shirt, so I had to get a picture.

Halloween....

Well the night started off a little rough with Aspen. She was very excited to be tigger as you can see here, she wore the hood all day...Then she saw that Kamden was being snow white, a princess. So while I was getting Kamden ready she ran down stairs and decided she wanted to be a princess too.

She wasn't very happy with me when I got her dressed into tigger instead of doing her hair and makeup all pretty. While she is screaming the whole time, I am putting makeup on her thinking that will make her happier. So once the makeup was on I showed her and needless to say she still was not happy.

After trying to get her to stop rubbing black all over everthing in my house, I called my husband begging him to come home from work so that I could have a little help trick or treating. Brock is always so busy with work that he isn't usually around for halloween. This was the first halloween he has gone with us. I was so thankful for his help. Once we got going Aspen quickly got over her fit throwing and really enjoyed getting a lot of candy. We first went to our church to the trunk or treat and games. After we left there we went to a neighborhood in town that has a lot of homes really close together so that the girls didn't have to walk as far. I think everyone else had the same idea. ( in our neighborhood the houses are spread far apart) Aspen was a complete crack up. She would try to walk right into peoples houses to get the candy if they didn't get to the door fast enough. Then because she is little people thought to give her little candy. Well she is no fool. She threw it right back in the bowl and grabbed the big candy bars. We were laughing pretty hard. I have to say they both really enjoyed themselves and I did too once Brock, my lifesaver, got there to help me out.

Spooky Snacks

So I was assigned to bring some spooky snacks to Kamdens Halloween Party at Preschool. Being very uncreative my friend told me about the family fun website, so I got on with Kamden and let her pick what we brought. Here is the outcome.....
The first picture is a little blurry but they are cheese fingers. I substituted the green pepper fingernail for a candy corn. The next picture is supposed to be a witches broom stick. Kind of fun. I ended up missing the party because of the funeral for little Jessica but Kamden filled me in later that the broom sticks were a lot bigger hit with the kids. So now next time I know not to waste my whole day doing snacks and just go with the easier one!!
