The Rest of September 2012

1-4)  We went to a brand new restaurant, "Mac and More," and as you can see, it was finger lickin' good!  :)  The girls loved the variations of mac and cheese and especially loved the chalkboard tables.  They all drew different things on the table.  The prices were very reasonable too... about the same as McDonalds.
5) Our babies have always been terrified of car-washs.  Calyssa was no different.  Her big sisters were laughing because she was so cute but also comforting her.
6-7) Just me...

1) Our girls always love finding big fries in their dinner.  Well, this was the biggest fry I have ever seen!!
2-3) We were suppose to have the missionaries over for dinner however, they had to cancel at the last minute.  Our neighbors, Jenny and Lee, also had company coming that cancelled.  The half of the meal they had prepared fit perfectly with the parts that we had already prepared.  We loved spending dinner together as families again... so fun!!
4-5) Having a garden feast dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house... and some late birthday presents.
6) An adorable picture of Aurora... love it!!

1) Playing dress-up at piano lessons, with Natalie and Ashley
2-3) Sariah found this half white/half red strawberry in our garden and decided that it looked like a "Snow White" strawberry.  So of course, she ate it and then fainted until a handsome prince came along...  Okay, so that last part didn't happen...  LOL!  ;)
4) Sariah planted a bean plant and it actually grew a few beans.  She was so proud!
5-6) Callie, Nina, and I
7) Cutie Callie girl in a fun bow!!  :)

1-3) Some really big balloons that the girls blew up!  And Tierra as an airhead!  ;)
4) Sariah's hair makes such a pretty french braid.
5) During choir "nursery," Sariah, Tierra, Riana, Naomi, Melanie, and Gavin drew a Hunger Games/Star Wars/etc. masterpiece all over the chalkboard.  They had so much fun together.
6) Grant with a late birthday gift of strawberry jam and money.

1-2) Sariah with a silly pose and girls with pretty hair.
3) Riana lookin cute
4) Me (Angela)
5) Calyssa in her little jean jacket
6) Smiley Rori
7) I love Riana's cute jeans
8) Callie and I

1) My cute polka dot skinny jeans
2) Sariah designed and made this dress for her polly pocket.
3) Grant made dinner, can you tell?  Football meatloaf.  :)
4) The salad I made for an adult dinner party with our friends.  I even made the vinagrette dressing.  And discovered red pears... so yummy!
5) We ate it again the next night with our football meatloaf.
6-8) For the second year in a row, our girls passed out bags for the food drive for our church, to our neighborhood.  Then a few days later, picked them up.  They were so excited to do it this year and even asked, "Do we get to collect the food again this year?"  It was so cute!!  Their friends Dylan and Cayden helped them this year, which made it even funner.  I was really surprised at how much they collected again this year.  Good job girls!!

Lookin cute for Sunday
1) Calyssa
2) Aurora
3) Karina
4) Tierra
5-7) Sariah looked especially pretty that week.  Man, she has gorgeous hair!!  I love her hair (even though it takes a lot of work to care for it!)
8) Riana

1-3)  The cutest boy scout ever!!  ;)  Grant received an award, "On My Honor," an adult recognition.  Bro & Sis J also gave out thank you gifts to the Scout leaders.
4-5)  My brother sent these pictures from the MTC of his Cambodian district.  One of them was of him and Elder Kaufman, who is serving from my ward and I happen to visit teach his sister, Maggie.  How fun is that?
6-7) The American Dolls at our house apparently had a slumber party... super cute!
