Happy Halloween

Almost done Trick-Or-Treating.
The very beginning of the night and that was the best shot I could get.  Poor Dilan tried everything to get Addie to sit.

How cute is my Pirate Princess and glitter free might I add!
Gotta love my Power Ranger with red hair!

Trick-Or-Treat said my kiddos for most of the evenings as they went door to door.  Dilan was the Red Jungle Fury Power Ranger, Haylee a Pirate Princess and Addisen Minnie Mouse.  It is getting increasingly more difficult to get their pictures together and even ones of Addie alone.  So here are a few.  Hope everyone had fun!

So here we have to call it a Fall Party because why would we want to celebrate Halloween.  We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings for goodness sakes.  I am a bit bitter on this entire subject. When I went to school we got to dress up and celebrate but now a days you are forbidden which really SUCKS!  I volunteered to help today since the Na was able to watch the girls.  I was at the wreath making set of tables which was fun.  I got to meet all of Dilan's classmates.  Here are a few pics from today's festivities.

Stepping Stones Halloween Parade

Yes, we can actually call it a Halloween Parade. Stepping Stones Preschool is not afraid to have kids dress up in costumes and celebrate a fun time of the year.  Haylee had fun today with all her friends dancing and having a party.  Mrs. Eager let each child decide what they wanted to bring and her choice was a salad so I told her there were many options for that.  She chose a fruit salad which just made me remember I forgot to bring the rest home.  She looked adorable in her costume which is a Pirate Princess.  As soon as they were done with the parade the kids came in for their food and like father like daughter she changed into her regular clothes as to not get her costume dirty.  Daddy was so proud when I told him :)

Hole in the Wall

So last night as I was watching my favorite couple Lance and Lacey on Dancing with the Stars my two little cuties Dilan and Haylee were nicely and quietly playing in Dilan's room. Or so I thought.  They decided it would be fun to try out Haylee's gymnastics moves on Dilan's bed and hence we now have a hole in the wall! Dilan came running out putting the blame on Haylee which sent tears streaming down her face and the words, "no it was Di Di" (Dilan). After about 15 minutes, Dilan said, "Haylee MADE me do it."   Then it was, we both did it together.  We think they probably flipped together and Dilan's foot went in.  Neither of them are hurt so that is what matters.

Haylee's Garden at School

At Stepping Stones Preschool the class plants a garden.  Haylee brought in some flowers and seeds last week to plant.  What an amazing school.  She is having so much fun.

The Tooth Fairy Is Coming!

Here is how we started, see how the tooth was bent backwards.
The wet rag used to grip the tooth as Dilan wiggled and pulled.
And it's out!


At last, the tooth fairy will make a visit tonight.  Dilan's tooth has been loose for about 4 months. It was pointed backwards tonight so I told him it was time.  He got out a rag a wiggled and pulled for about 30 minutes with no luck. He told me I could try but it was the last of the night so i had to make it count and what do you know, it popped right out.  Dilan's little tooth is now tucked away in his pirate tooth fairy pillow awaiting the grand arrival.  

Haylee's New Gymnastics Outfit

I found this adorable gymnastics outfit at Target yesterday and couldn't pass it up.  I knew she would just love it.  It went on the moment I brought it home.

Happy Birthday Na!

Na turned @# on October 21st.  We celebrated on Sunday with a fabulous white lasagna dinner(Na made)  and a chocolate cake with homemade butter cream frosting (I made).  We had a blast.  We all played Wii while Andre and Appa watched baseball.  Poor Aunt Sarah was sick so she missed all the fun.

A Day at the Fair and a Night at Weezer

A view from the Ferris Wheel.  The one ride I will never go on because I am so scared but Dilan wanted to go so I did it.  My palms were sweaty the entire time.


Here we are waiting for Angels & Airwaves to go on.
The Merry-Go-Round
Dilan finally got his cotton candy he has been talking about for days.
So that it what it feels like to milk a fake cow!


What an incredible day that Dilan and I just had.  We went to the Arizona State Fair today.  I didn't think he would be up for too many rides since he tends to get queasy but I think that phase may be over.  We went on tons of things and he was fine.  I asked him what his favorite was and he said everything.  A few rides we went on were the Tilt-A-Whirl, Skyflyer, Superslide, Silver Streak and Wave (3 times).  It was really hot out there today so the water ride was great because it got you a bit wet.  Then we were off to the petting zoo and Unkle Kunkle's Farm for some free fun.  After that was cotton candy and $6 slices of pizza.  Then for the end of the day we were off to see Weezer.  This was Dilan's first real concert (Wiggles and Dora don't really count).  We had 7th row seats off to the side that were amazing.  Dilan played air guitar and drums throughout the entire show. Weezer played his favorite song called Beverly Hills and they played all my old favorites.  A band called Angels & Airwaves opened up for Weezer.  I had never listened to them before but I will tell you that they were awesome.  I have already declared the lead singer my new boyfriend.  You are about to see many camera phone pics from today and video clips from the show.  It was an extremely expensive day but in the end completely priceless for the time I had with Dilan.
