Eden and David were both on Greene Machine this year.  It's been so fun to have them together at the same school.

Ruth's mini society day

2nd grade mini society.  Ruth opened a shop for head massages.  

Kindergarten was the best!




 Mrs. Roell is an angel on earth.  There were four Mormons in one class!  

 Having best friends as neighbors is awesome.

The most lovable boys you will ever meet. 

Braces on & off

Eden had an easy peasy 24 months of Braces.  I love her.  She is the most beautiful girl.

Ruth turns 8

 We celebrated Ruth's 8 birthday over conference weekend.  She asked for a balloon cake, makeup, a cuddle stuffed animal and money.  We love you Ruth.  You are a special part of our family.  

Kindergarten


The twins are in half day kindergarten.  They love their teacher Mrs. Roell and have lots of friends.  They are always "trading" things with other classmates on the bus.  I'm not sure how they are so persuasive but they have come home with stuffed animals, books, necklaces, tooth fairy money, candy and once a kindle (which we quickly gave back).  Everyone loves the twins.  They have two other Mormon friends in their class.  I think having 4 Mormons in a classroom of 16 kids is pretty remarkable.  They love riding the bus in the morning with the neighbor kids.   



 They had grandparents Day at Maple Dale.  The twins asked our piano teacher and husband to come and share the day with them.  We are so thankful for wonderful people in our lives like the Deans.
Ready for Halloween

Today Ruth took a break from being 'Ruthie Momma' and had a big Halloween party!  Almost everyone in her class came to celebrate.  She is the sweetest girl ever!

Halloween 2015

 Nerd, spider man, Elsa, Swat, spider man
 My girls are the only ones I could get to pose for a picture.  The boys were off running around with guns and swords.
We have SO much candy.  I know everyone feels that way...but you don't understand my children. Trunk-or-treat Friday night and then Trick-or-treating Saturday. Especially Eden, it's business! Seven greedy, sugar addict monsters running house to house. When they get home I give them three Ziploc bags: 1)for gingerbread houses in December  2) for their 72 hour kits  3) school lunch treats 

Then I let them binge eat all night.  While they are distracted I fill a couple of Ziploc bags for stockings and present toppers.  I also put together a bag for Paul's office.  Whew!  The hardest part is not to eat all this 'hidden' candy in the house.   

We still have a huge bucket after all this!  Oh Halloween

P.S.  I also give them an option to leave their candy outside for the 'candy fairy'.  In exchange for their candy she leaves a present or money.  David LOVES this.  He's the only one who puts candy out.
