My Fall Addiction

My favorite thing to bake in the fall is pumpkin chocolate chips cookies, I received a yummy recipe from my friend Katy that we all love!

When Mason hears the mixer he runs over and points at the beaters saying, "Mom I want one." "Mom I want one" until he receives one. I guess they're a hit all the way around.

I only make them in the Fall and it's a good thing because they're so addictive!!

Piano

Maddy and Emily both started piano lessons last month from my good friend Katy. Katy is extremely talented at playing the piano and I couldn't be more grateful to have such a wonderful teacher for my girls.
I am so excited to have Madisyn and Emily develop a talent that they can use for the rest of their lives!

VolleyBall

Maddy started volleyball this year. The sports thing is new to our family, my girls have never had any interest in sports so when Maddy tried out for the school team I was a little surprised.

A month in and lets just say, WE are loving it.... by " WE", I mean, Maddy loves playing and I love watching!!

GO MADISYN!!

Braces

Maddy got braces yesterday. The orthodontist only did the tops yesterday and then in a month he"ll put on the bottoms. Mason thought it was the weirdest thing, when Maddy smiled he keep looking right at Maddy's teeth and would say, " Maddy's teeth" and keep rubbing his tongue over his own teeth.

Maddy looks super cute and I can't wait to see her with her beautiful straight teeth!

Homecoming Week

Ashley's school had spirit week the week of Homecoming and each day the kids dressed up in their best Nerd, P.J., Western and Super Hero gear. Ashley dressed up every day except super hero day!

Then on Saturday, Ashley went to the Homecoming dance. Being the well prepared Mom that I am.. I forgot to charge my camera so I was only able to get a couple of pictures of Ashley before my camera died...so no date pictures.

Powder Puff

Ashley played a Powder Puff football game this year, during Homecoming week. It was Seniors girls vs Juniors girls and the Seniors blew the Juniors out of the water with a score of 35 to 7. It was fun to watch my girlie girl play a game of football!
