Tripp's 2nd birthday party!

My little guys celebrated his 2nd birthday with a tailgating party! We had such a fun day and had so many fiends and family come celebrate. We are truly blessed to have so many people love our children! I think Tripp's favorite guest at the party was Ella, a little girl in his class at school. He talks about her all the time and when I asked who he wanted to come to his party, thats the only person he asked for. You should have seen his face light up when she walked in the front door! We had a great time and Tripp looked so grown up! It's hard, sometimes I still see this tiny little baby!

Uh oh....

One day during nap time, I walked in to find Sadie had hidden a pair of scissors in her room and cut all of her dolls hair, her curtains, some blankets. While trying to remain calm and not fly off the handle, while cleaning up the mess, I was thinking, "I'm actually impressed she didn't cut her own hair." Then I thought, wait... lets check. I was WRONG, she had cut a HUGE amount on the side. I thought there was NO way that this could be fixed. We waited until Tripp woke up from his nap and took him to daddy's office while Sadie headed to the beauty salon. She did a great job! I held her head still the whole time (luckily she has thin hair, so it didn't take long), because she was excited to look around at everything. When they were done, I was impressed out cute it turned out. She looks so much more grown up! We headed back to daddy's office to show him. He liked it, but was sad to see her look like a big girl. She did tell me we had to make sure a hair bow could go in it still ;)

This year Sadie is in dance class! She has so much fun with the other girls in her class! I love watching her really concentrate and learn! Half of the class is spent doing ballet and the other half is tap. I thinking she enjoys tap most. If you ask her what she likes most about going to dance, its playing with the babies and seeing her friends! (They use babies to teach them specific ballet positions). Here are a few pictures from her first class:

Halloween

This year we hosted our play groups Halloween party, which turned out to be a lot of fun! We had a house and back yard full of cute kiddos and their mommies and daddies. It was nice to have all of the families come over.

A few weeks later, on actual Halloween, our church did a Trunk or Treat. The kids liked it, but there were older kids that had costumes that were a little too scary for Sadie and Tripp. We stayed a little while and then took the kids trick or treating to a few houses in the neighborhood near our house. We had a great time!! We have found out that since we don't really live in a neighborhood and since it is on the our skirts of town, we have NO trick or treaters. This means we don't have to worry about candy while we take the kids trick or treating.

Here are a few pics from the two nights:
