My Girls

I had these professional pics taken of the girls a week ago. There were 3 others, but I've put them on Christmas cards to send out. :) I'll post them on here after I mail out the cards.

McKinley's adorable laugh

Alliance Church Pumpkin Patch

Saturday, October 25, Kevin and Brooke and kids came to town to go to a Fall festival downtown. Instead of doing that we went to the Alliance Church Pumpkin patch. They had face painting, goats to pet, hayrides,bobbing for apples, pony rides, a maze for kids, cotton candy and a pumpkin patch. With the weather cooperating and being able to be with family, it was a great day.

Beauty and the Beast Costumes

Belle, the beauty (yes, she is wearing makeup)

Cogsworth, the clock (drawing this on her face was a pain)

McKinley's first tooth

McKinley got her first tooth today. I wasn't expecting it since Laynee didn't get a tooth til she was 13 months. Surprisingly, McKinley hasn't been too fussy about it.

Janna's Favorite Quotes/Thoughts/Scriptures

I added a link on the left hand side of this blog to a blog named Janna's favorite quotes/thoughts/scriptures. It's basically just what it implies; thoughts, quotes and scriptures that I really like. I wanted a way to keep track of things I come across that touch me or make me really think. Feel free to check it out and comment.

Baby shower for my Sis

I went to Great Falls last week. The main reason was to attend my younger sister, Heidi's, baby shower. These are a few pics from it. I'm so excited for my sister to be a mom!

Cousins Halloween Party

My sister-in-law, Brooke, organized a "Cousins Halloween Party" last week at her house. The cousins painted pumpkins, went on a parade in their costumes, wrestled with Kevin, played musical chairs, ate food and watched a Halloween movie. I didn't have a close relationship with my cousins. I think my kids are so lucky to have that.

Not a post to brag...

Disclaimer: So, I don't know how many of you are really good about tracking what your kids are doing. I only do so-so on keeping notes of their accomplishments. I'm going to start putting notes in my blog. This isn't to brag about kids but more as a record of what they are doing.

Laynee learned this morning how to button and unbutton her sweater. She has done it over and over about 5 times this morning.

McKinley is playing a new game. Sometimes when I'm holding her and someone comes up and talks to her, she pretends to be shy and puts her head down on my chest. Then she puts her head up, smiles and looks at the person. If the person tries to talk to her again, she immediately puts her head down again. I didn't realize how cute it is until last night, her Aunt Brooke was holding her and someone she doesn't know well talked to her and she did it. I got to just watch the whole thing. So adorable!

Papa and Grammy's bed

Even though my parents are gone, their bed is still getting lots of use. Cousins: Ethan, Laynee, Landon, Lydia and Lincoln watching Monsters, Inc.
