Birthday and Halloween

Yesterday was Syd's birthday. She turned 4. I can't believe how old she is getting! We had pizza and cake and icecream and then went to the fun park afterwards.  Her party was a princess theme. She loved it.  I won't name everything she got, because she is really spoiled. Rory and I got her a Moxie girl and a Moxie girl remote control car, that you can put the Moxie girl in and drive around. I won't lie, I like to play with it. lol. She had fun at the fun park bowling and playing arcade games. After all of that she was still more excited for Halloween.

Today we went trick or treating around the neighborhood. Syd was a cowgirl and Ashlyn was supposed to be a pumpkin, but being herself she threw a fit everytime we put it on her and she wouldn't wear it. So she was nothing. But still they had fun and got too much candy. I guess me and Rory will have to help them eat it.

The Terror

Ashlyn has really been a challenge lately. She couldn't be any more opposite of Sydnee. Well she is 19 months old and she is definetley well into her terrible 2's.  She can be such a brat! We battled her all day yesterday. Everything makes her mad! She wants her clothes on and then she wants them off, throwing a fit each and every time. I mean screaming, flail herself to the floor, hitting her head types of fits. And so the day goes on like this every day.  She is also miss independent. She has to do EVERYTHING herself. And of course being her age she is not able to, which leads to more fits.  She likes to get into everything and climb everything.  We had to take the gate off that blocks the stairs because we caught her climbing half way up it. Another favorite thing of hers is to flush the toilet over and over again. Not to mention the endless fighting between her and Sydnee. She is definelty a successful form of birth control.  But we love her and don't know what we would do without her and seeing her cute little face and kissing those cheeks!

In 4 days it is Sydnee's birthday. I cannot believe she will be 4! It makes me sad to see her grow up so fast.  She cannot wait. She's got the whole thing planned out. She wants to wake up and have her cake on the table and balloons tied to her chair. She's so funny.  But I think she is more excited for halloween. Two fun days in a row.

Dinosaurs and Concerts


Syd's favorite picture. It makes her laugh.

Cute pic of them swinging.

Yee Haw!

Freaky/disgusting Halloween decoration.

Girls posing. lol.

Forgot the name of this one, but wouldn't want to run into one.

A fossil that was found in the sea. Looks like an alien. It's tiny.

Pteranodon. The picture doesn't do it justice on the size. Wing span of 23 feet.

Brontosaurus? Those ones with long necks. HUGE! They are 52 feet tall!

On Friday night we went down to West Valley so I could go and see the Creed/Staind concert at the E Center. It was awesome!!!! I had so much fun!!!! I will not post pics because the ones I took were on my phone and they are really blurry. I went with my bro in law and sis in law and my bro in laws date.  Rory and the girls stayed at the hotel. (For the most part, Rory is not interested in my choice of music. lol.) We stayed the night and on Saturday on our way home we went to the Dinosaur park in Odgen.  It was amazing to see how big those dinousaurs were! Scary! It was fun though. We got the girls some souveniers while there, and made the mistake of not getting them the same things. So they fought on the way home over them. They had the park decorated with halloween stuff. I thought it was way too scary for kids to see. I think the girls were more scared of the halloween decor then they were the dinos. We had a blast and it was fun to get out of the house for a weekend.
