Trick or Trunk!!

Last night we went to the church for Trick or Trunk.  We had a lot of fun.  Ori loved being able to run around in her bee costume.  She also liked stealing food off of other peoples plates when they weren't looking, it was pretty funny.

A Bee and a Cheerleader....  Best of Friends.....

Ori might not be the best influence on Brynlee....

Trick or Trunk!!

Little Red Riding Hood joined us!!

Halloween Party 2010!!

We had our Halloween party this weekend...  It was so much fun!  We had a bunch of friends over....  Every family brought a soup and a goodie....  We had a ton of food and a ton of fun! 

Here are some of the goodies...  By the end of the night, the table was full!

Here is our little flower....

Fa'a and I were vampires...  I tried to make him wear glitter so we could be Twilight vampire, but he wouldn't...  Oh well, at least I tried.  Next year, I am thinking that we should be Michael Jackson, Fa'a can be the original and I will be the "after" Michael.....  Not sure if Fa'a will go for that either....

Here is little Brynlee desperately trying to get some caramel corn, she even stole her moms shoes to give her a few extra inches!

The bean bag toss was a hit....  My favorite part was when Ori put her head through one of the holes and the other kids tossed the bags at her (lightly).  She just giggled every time they would get her, it was pretty funny!

Supergirl was our second place winner, what an arm!

Elvis is in the building!!

Not the best picture of me, but she was slapping me in the face in the other one, so this was the winner!

William was so cute!!

Fa'a loved the soup bar....  So did everyone else!

Ori and Sia Love Their Aunt Ali!

This weekend Ali came to visit us....  We had so much fun with her!  She was only here for a few days, but it was long enough for Ori to become very attached to her!!

Here are Ali and Ori at Lane Orchards...

And here they are rocking away......

And swinging together....

And here are Ali and Sia, hanging out on the couch.  Sia loved it when Ali held her...  I loved it too!

We miss Ali so much and can't wait for her to come back!

Ori Loves Her Waffles!!

I am not sure if you can tell, but Ori has a full waffle in her mouth!  I don't usually put syrup on her waffles because then the whole house ends up sticky....  but today I made an exception.  I guess she liked it!!

Family Night!

We are trying to do a family night each week....  tonight we went bowling.  It was also our last night with Michael.  At first Ori was scared of the sound the balls made when they hit the pins, but she warmed up to it pretty quickly.  Sia was wide awake just looking around at all the action.

Fa'a and the girls....

Mommy and Ori....  She wouldn't let go of any of us for about 15 minutes....  Once she got used to the noise she was excited to be there....

Ori kept trying to grab the balls out, luckily, we were able to stop her before her fingers got hurt!

Michael and Sia....  Enjoying their last night together.....

Mommy and Sia!

Eating a little supreme pizza.....

More Fun With Ori's BFF!!

Brynlee and Ori had a fun little play date today...  They were joined by Emma and Issac, but they moved so fast all their pics were blurry!

Here are Ori and Brynlee and Ori getting their drink on....  apple juice, that is.

Their new favorite game is to put all the shoes in the tunnel, the crawl through it as fast as they can!  I don't quite understand the appeal, but hey, whatever works :)

Here's a better shot of the shoes that they gathered!

Time For Church!

Ori was a little tired and grouchy this morning, but we couldn't resist taking a picture, she looked so cute!

After church we let her put on her fancy shoes that Sia gave her.  She loves walking around in heels!

Night Out At Lane Orchards...

Our FRG sponsored an event at Lane Orchards and we had so much fun!  I can't wait to go back next year when Sia is old enough to enjoy it too!

Fa'a and Ori had a good time swinging while mom ran and got some homemade peach ice cream....

Here's little Sia enjoying the view from her stroller....

Ori and I had so much fun on the hay ride!

This is the mini maze for Ori.  She really liked chasing her dad around.

Ori and I liked looking at the pond with all the ducks in it.....

While Sia took a little nap in her stroller....

Here are our two little gansta's!

Back home at last!  It was a fun night, but both girls were exhausted by the end!

Don't Go To Work Daddy!!

Ori was very upset to see her dad head out to work......

Luckily her best friend Brynlee came over to cheer her up!

They had a lot of fun outside on the swings.....

And even more fun trying on all the shoes!  That could turn into a very expensive hobby!

Ori's Pumpkin Project!!

We had play group this week at Emily Gutke's house.....  She certainly set the bar for play group!  We ate zucchini keesh, rolls, muffins, and so much more!!  She also had these pumpkin projects for the kids to do.

Ori is very into abstract art....  as you can see below :)

Just Another Wednesday......

Ori figured out that Fa'a makes a pretty good trampoline....  Not too sure if Fa'a felt the same way.....  Sia is getting stronger every day and was standing against Fa'a almost totally unsupported!

Ori loves the music video "California Gurls" by Katy Perry....  this is an expression that she learned.....  Yeah, great parenting, right?  :)

Sia likes to sit in her bumbo, but she likes it even more when Ori will come sit with her....  although she is starting to get jealous of Ori's food.....
