Hmmmm...

Well, I haven't had a lot to blog about in the past couple weeks.  Sorry!  BUT - I did upload a bunch of pictures to Kodak.  So check out my links over to the right for our latest pictures. 

We had a great Thanksgiving with all the Husseys.  I believe the count for a family get together is now 18!  I forgot my camera, though.  So we'll all have to wait for Marisa to upload her pics...  (hint, hint)  We have some fun things planned for December, so new posts will come. :o)

Positive Penguin Award!

Last week at school during the assembly, Sophia received a Positive Penguin Award for being caring.  (The school mascot is a penguin.)  The teacher told us a couple of days in advance so we could attend the assembly to watch her receive her award.  She was so surprised and just beaming.  I was beaming with pride for my cute little school girl.  Grandma and Grandpa also came to the assembly.  Sophia definitely felt special that day.

Here she is posing with the principal, Mr. Williams.

Halloween 2011

Our little trick-or-treaters!

A blue macaw (Jewel from the movie Rio) and a workin' man!

 Lauren and Sophia being silly!

And these two win the award for most adorable!!  My nephew Carson as a werewolf and my friend Echo's little girl, Piper, as Little Red Riding Hood.  Carson and Piper are in preschool together this year and are both the sweetest little kids.  I guess all day at preschool today they kept finding each other to buddy up and stick together since they were the wolf and Little Red.  Then while we trick-or-treated they were holding hands a bunch too. :o)  It doesn't get much cuter than this!!

 After we were done everyone had to dump out their loot!

 Lauren kickin' her heels up and Sophs shakin' her tail feathers!

 And one last picture (at Sophia's request) before we washed her makeup off.

Another fun Halloween watching all these adorable kids make memories together.  Thanks again Justin & Jill for hosting a fun evening!

Pumpkin Carving

Sunday we carved pumpkins out at Great Grandpa Dick's house.

Sophia LOVES carving pumpkins!

 Griffin thought it was pretty disgusting and was

gagging a lot when we opened the pumpkins up.

 Grandma was there to help, too.  Once I pulled out

the carving tools, Griffin was much more interested.

 Aunt Michelle came after she got off work and carved a cute jack-o-lantern face.

 Here are the three we did.  Sophia's on the right,

Sophia & Mommy's in the middle, and Griffin & Mommy's on the left.
