Story time with Santa!!

Halloween

Jade was Sally from the Nightmare before Christmas and Gemma was a witch, I figured since she dresses up every day as a princess that for Halloween she could be something different, Gemma wasn't real excited about Halloween, until after the first few houses, then of course she loved it! The kids got a good haul. Grandma Rory and Carolyn came out to our house this year, Grandma Rory was an incompetent nurse( Sooooo cute and creative) and Carolyn was a wicked witch complete with nose and wart and all, Good job Carolyn! My mom brought out the new Tinkerbell DVD instead of candy for Jade and Gemma, so about the time their buckets were full they just wanted to come home and eat candy and watch Tinkerbell! So we were done around 7:15p.m. with trick-or-Treating.

Pumpkins

In case anyone didn't know I love pumpkins so this was my birthday cake. my mom made it! I loved it Thanks Mom!

we went to the pumpkin patch on my birthday, I will post the pics when i figure out how to get them off of my phone and onto the computer, anyway James helped Gemma carve hers.....

Jade carved her own by herslef. they were very cute! Good job girls!

So is everybody tired of looking at my Torrey pictures yet?
Sorry about that..... Here are some random pics that I came across from the last few weeks.



Jade took this picture of Sampson, she did a good job :-)

Gemma still will wear only princess dresses, Jade did her hair. She is such a good big sister! I love it when they play nicely together.

Just love it when kids fall asleep sitting up. Notice all the band-aids and *gasp* no princess dress for the moment.

Gemma was proud of herself she made the apple have a face!

Labor day

We went down to Torrey to check thing out this weekend.....

Unfortunantly we were'nt able to stay due to the dis-repair of the place but I got a picture of gemma on the porch, now I have a picture of all my kids on that porch when they were two!

Hiking to see the goosenecks in Capital Reef.

Jade's first day of 3rd grade!!! Her teacher is Miss. Green.

Gemma had to have her tonsils and adenoids out on Aug 27, 2009 Here is a cute pic of her in her hospital pj's. Which she hated, they were not cute according to her.

A sad after picture, with her all hooked up to the IV and Apnea monitor, we had to stay overnight because she kept having blue periods with her oxygen. Everything went well though and according to Dr. Park he had not seen such large tonsils in a child so young, her adenoids were equally huge! She had been snoring for a long time, then she started to have sleep apnea so the Dr.s decided to do the surgery, i am happy to report that she no longer snores or has sleep apnea!! YAY!

Home from the hospital, she is showing her "tags", she felt pretty good until the 3rd day then we had about a week of not feeling good and a lot of pain, she did have pain medicine though.

Dinosaur Museum

Random

I thought this was cute Sampson climbed up on my purse and fell asleep by me, He has to be as close as he can get to me :-)

Gemma and Grandpa Hudson in the Garden

On the last day of summer vacation My friend Peggy and I took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum.

Pretty dress

We went back to school shopping for shoes the other day, and Gemma AKA Sweetie picked out these pretty glitter shoes, it was very cute because when grandma Rory asked her if she liked them Gemma said "They are perfect!" so of course we had to get them. :-)

The dress also has a story, it used to be Jade's and it was in the DI pile... in the basement... in a bag, and Gemma found it, calls it her "pretty dress" and I have had to wash it every night after she goes to sleep for the last 3 weeks, it is the only thing she will wear. The sad thing is it it very embarrassing, it has a hole in the side and a stain on the front that I haven't been able to bleach out, and it is 2 sizes too big. Idid mend the hole. And it isn't worth the grief to try and make her wear something else.

Jade's black eye.
