Our little Princesses

We took the girls up to China Peak last week. It was Teagan's first time and Elle's second. They had so much fun! And lucky for us Grandma came with us and took some pictures for us. They are doing so great and loving every minute of it. I am so proud of my little wild skiers. I hope they keep enjoying it as much as they do right now. But who wouldn't love getting to hold onto their parents, between their legs, and know that if they fall, Mommy or Daddy will catch them. :)

I know this is extremely late, however, better late than never. We had a great Halloween this year. We always have such a good time at the annual McCauley Halloween party. Followed by trick-or-treating. Charlotte came over and we had so much fun watching our Dorothy, Ariel, and Ballerina running from house to house collecting candy.

Teagan turned 2 on Sept 12th. (Even though most people ask me if she turned 3). We had a small party for her since we also went to Disneyland that weekend for her Birthday as well. She had so much fun at her little party! It is so fun to see her little face get so excited from the attention and of course the presents! Here are a few shots of our little sweetie Teagie's Birthday!

A few months ago Kevin and I bought an oil painting that was just on a canvas without a frame. We figured we would save a few hundred dollars and have Kevin build a frame instead. So here is this little project. First Kevin used his router to design the wood.

Then he built the frame.

The picture is of Isreal and the Sea of Galalee, so I wanted it to look a little worn. We tested out a few stains and then decided to go with paint.

First I painted the whole frame red.

Then put a coat of espresso brown paint over the red. Then I sanded the frame in different places to let the red and the wood color come through.

Our living room looks much better now with something filling that huge space on the wall. I love the way it turned out. You can't tell in the photos but this painting is massive. And luckily we have a little wood left over for a frame for our family picture.

The funniest part is that they don't slide as much as crawl across. They are so sweet. They just love to do anything together.

What are you talking about? Of course yogurt and lotion are the same thing!

I wonder if my legs will look that cute if I give it a try. She may be on to something!

Elle had her pre-school graduation on Friday. She did such a great job. They performed some of the songs and skits they had been learning this year. Elle sang her little heart out and was the best little spider in the little miss muffet skit. After the graduation the kids played with a slip-n-slide and other water activities. The girls had so much fun on their first slip-n-slide. Although they preferred to wait till the other kids were doing something else so they could have it all to themselves. I am so proud of our little Elle. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She has loved Pre-School so much this year!!! And since she is still 3 she gets to enjoy a whole year of it again next year.
