We are so blessed!

We finally have some really good news to post on our blog. Ryan finally passed the California State Bar so he is now officially a lawyer. We were so relieved to find out that all of his hard work finally paid off. We are so grateful that the third time was the charm and that we won't have to go find a new career. And speaking of the third time is the charm, we are also happy to announce that our third wild child is on the way and will be wreaking havoc in our home sometime in May of 2009. The girls are really excited and they are hoping it is another girl. We feel so blessed to have a job and to have another baby on the way!

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

My parents were able to come visit us over the weekend and we had such a fun time together. The girls spent lots of time at the park (most days they were able to go 2 times) with Grandma and Grandpa. They had fun chasing Grandma around and putting her into the dungeon.

Here Hailey is following Grandma up the climbing wall. Here they are after they all made it to the top of the climbing wall.

Grandma helped the girls play checkers.

Hailey got lots of rides on Grandpa's shoulders to and from the park. She loved taking his hat off and putting it on her head.

Peyton and Grandma also had fun writing poems together. They were really silly but Peyton loved making them up. Here are just a few they made up.

Pickles are sour

Candy is sweet

Hailey loves jumping

with her great big feet!

Hailey likes to act coo coo

Peyton likes to act crazy

When they get together

the whole world is lazy.

My Grandma is wonderful

She loves us a bunch

and when she comes to visit

she takes us out to lunch.

Thanks mom and dad for making this a fun weekend.

Trick or Treat

We had such a fun Halloween and the girls were able to participate in many fun activities.

Here is a picture of the girls before Peyton went to school in the morning. Peyton was dressed as a hula dancer and Hailey was Cinderella.

Here is a picture of Peyton with her best friend Brooke. When they got to school in the morning they were able to parade around the school in their costumes and then her class had a breakfast party. Hailey and I were able to stay and help out and Hailey really enjoyed that.
That night Hailey decided she wanted to be Snow White for trick or treating time so we dressed her up and got ready to go to Aunt Natalie's house. We ate dinner over there and then went trick or treating with a bunch of Aurora's neighbors. The girls had so much fun running from house to house getting candy. Hailey always had to stop and show us what she got after each house. They were definitely worn out by the end of the night and quickly fell asleep after we tucked them into bed.
