i wish i could have been at the front of the church taking video but i was trying to keep these 3 crazies calm and quiet in a small space...waiting for their turn in the spotlight!!!  not easy.  more pics to come!

11-11-11

the wedding over one and a half years in the making has come and gone!  the exnicious kiddos were the flower girls and ring bearer :) and  i am happy to report that they all went perfectly down the aisle!!  however, after sitting down for the ceremony, things didn't go as perfectly.  emery and beckett were escorted out by yours truly and bo (my dad).  no big deal.  they just rolled around in the grass for 20 minutes and it was over!  i will give full details later today...i had 3 late nights...and i have walking pneumonia...and haven't stopped my training (running).  at some point i will just fall over probably and not wake up for like 3 days...

so cute right?!?

halloween...better late than never!

 since he is in real preschool now, this halloween was the first school party of beckett's that parents have been invited to attend.  i was SO excited and to say that he was would be a huge understatement :)  he loved having me there...introducing me to his friends (he has so many girlfriends)...biggest smiles the entire time...first was the parade....

 party time...

 i love this astronaut to the moon and back....

 em isn't in school so no parties...but she got to have purple hair like sis :)

 real halloween...

 went to a neighbors house w/ 10 or 12 other families and all passed out candy from there...the 24 kids went together around the block getting the treats.  lots of fun!!

pizza!

 inspecting their loot..

 candy passer outers...

there was a really cute group shot that i didn't take...must have been getting a beer :)  i will get someone to send to me and post!

only time for one picture

in case you can't tell, (and you probably can't!) beckett is an astronaut and the girls are purple aliens.  all ellis cared about was having her hair dyed a fun color.  happy to oblige :)

will have a longer post later...girls night is CALLING my name :)

storybook parade

last friday was the kindergarten storybook parade.  the kids were instructed to dress up as their favorite storybook character :)  is dora ellis' favorite storybook character?  negative.  did she pretend that she was in order to wear a fabulous snow princess costume that bebe bought her?  you better believe it!

it was super cold that morning!!  emery was still in jammies...

here come the cuties!

decked out...dress, cape, crown, wand, etc.

dora saves the snow princess!!  such a classic :)

we picked her up from school @ 11:30 and headed for a wedding in louisiana...crazy, busy weekend!!!

halloween...take two

cupcake cuteness!  i have just accepted the fact that she will forever have mosquito bites on her face.  something in her blood i guess...they freaking LOVE her.  we have a busy week filled with halloween parties and parades...so excited for the weather they are claiming is on the way for the weekend!! too bad it wasn't here on sunday for my half marathon :(  we still made it in a little less than 1:57...and our goal was 2 hours.  YAY!  however, we will not be doing less than 9 minute miles for the marathon.  i can't imagine!  i am tired just thinking about it...

here is em...again...in what is NOT her real costume :)

it isn't fall till you go to old mcdonald's farm!

really?

this is the best picture i got of beckett all day!

emery wouldn't look @ me...there was too much going on!!!  so excited to go on an outing with the big kids!!!

everyone picked their favorite pumpkin...

hopefully we will make it to the pumpkin patch one more time to get a decent picture!
