38th Birthday

I celebrated my 38th birthday this month and it was a fun birthday.  Sage helped Reese make me breakfast in bed and she then proceeded to share it with me!  She was so excited to bring me the breakfast and kept coming upstairs to give me updates.  We are making breakfast, it will be done in 10 minutes, it will be here in just a minute.  Her updates were so cute.  I went out to lunch with Quinn and our friend Julie we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant.  She made sure to tell them it was my birthday.  So they brought me out a dessert and the sombrero and sang to me! It was a good birthday and the only thing that would have made it better was getting to celebrate with Shelley.  Look out October 2017 - we are already starting to plan a girls trip for our 40th birthday! 

Shelley and the boys sent me these beautiful flowers to brighten my day and they lasted for almost two weeks!

Push Up's

One Saturday morning a few weeks ago Reese was playing with Quinn and I looked over and saw this.  Reese doing a push up with Quinn on his back.  She kept telling him more.  She was loving it!

Scarecrow Festival

A few weeks go we went to the Scarecrow Festival in downtown.  It is so nice to live in an area that has lots of family friendly events.   There were vendors set up, free hot chocolate and donuts, a bounce house, pumpkin bowling, a hay maze, face painting, and a hayride.  We tried to take it all in!  The downtown stores and restaurants even had trick-or-treating.  

 Love this pic - the pumpkin is in the air!

We walked around to a few downtown shops and went in the toy store.  They had this bubble machine going and Quinn loved it! 

Lil Pumpkin

This is one of my favorite Fall outfits from Sage at this age and I love that Quinn gets to wear it too! 

Walk to School

It was National Walk to School Day during the first week of October and Sage was so excited to participate in it!  We walked with a few friends that morning and the kids had a great time.  We gathered as a big group at a subdivision across the street from ours and all the kids from her school walked together.  Quinn loved being a part of such a big group.

Chocolate Pumpkins

Who doesn't love a little chocolate and when they come in the shape of cute little pumpkins!  We had to try them and they were good.  Quinn really liked them!

Halloween Presents

Last week we got a big box delivered to our door.  Presents for Halloween from Mimi and Pop-Pop were inside.  The girls were so excited to open the presents.  Thank you for the presents, the girls love their new witches and coloring books!

 

5 Inches

Sage has been asking to get her hair cut really short.  She wanted it cut to her chin.  I kept telling her that would mean no braids, pigtails, ponytails, or buns, she didn't seem to mind.  We compromised and she got 5 inches cut off.  She looks adorable with her new haircut and she loves it!

This was right after she got it cut.  

We had to take a picture and send to Daddy!

Reading!

Sage has just started to read a little on her own.  We got her some BOB books and she loves them and wants to read them all the time.  We went to my parents a few weeks ago and we gave her the books on the trip up.  She loved the books and continues to want to read them at home.  We hope she takes off on reading and hopes that she loves to read like we both do!
