okay, is everyone ready for a lengthy post. seriously....where does the time go. i am exhausted, and it's only the second week in october. speaking of october, today is "my sweets" birthday. since you don't like a big "ta' do" on your birthday, i'll keep it simple. nothing beats an apple pie, and your daughter thinking you are her superman! i love birthdays with kids....they make it so much more fun. for example....the presents, they are ten times more interesting. there is no telling what they'll pick out. in this instance, kylee had her eye set on these superman pajama's. she could barely stand it not telling him what her gift to daddy was. she even made him a birthday card at school today in which she drew a picture of him wearing his "super" pants.....so cute. i told alan it was either that or a "hula girl" tie.....at least this way he can wear it at home and not have to go out in public.

oh, and wrapping the present was so fun too. although my type "a" personality had a hard time. i just told her that i would hand her the tape and she could put it wherever she thought it needed to go. she really did a pretty good job. i am really trying to encourage her independence, it's just so hard to do sometime....okay, most of the time!









"superman pants"











....fun halloween nails (lainey, just can't miss out on an opportunity to have "pretty" nails....and as soon as she's had them painted she goes straight to daddy to show them off.)









happy 6 yr anniversary sweet heart.....what a WONDERFUL time together. a nice quiet dinner with the man i love.....lovely!!! i am so glad that you are my husband.










lainey, just "hulkin' it" up.....after eating all of my eggs and two more. the kid loves eggs! come to think about it, the day after this picture was taken she had had eggs for breakfast, eggs for lunch (had breakfast/lunch after church), and eggs from lo mein for dinner. she's going to start clucking before we know it.









and miss kylee, just being the social bug that she is. she wants a new friend to come over daily. she loves school and is learning so much. her handwriting just amazes me....from where we came from this summer....awesome. the girl loves to color and draw....hmmm i wonder where she gets that:)
