Veterans' Day chapel and school pics

 The girls got their school pictures in. They turned out cute! :)
 Kennedy- 4th grade
 Kaitlyn- 4th grade
 Jillian -1st grade

This past Friday was Veteran's Day and our school always does a special chapel. Each grade level gets to sing. 
 Jillian singing with 1st grade


It was harder to see the 4th graders. I had a direct shot of Kennedy, but Kaitlyn was hard to spot!
Kaitlyn is at the far right of the picture....you can only see a little bit of her!
They all did a great job singing and it was a very special day to honor our Veterans.

16 months

 Josie is changing so fast! She turned 16 months on Nov. 6.  She is a silly one and I got some pictures to show it. :)

At 16 months:
*You still love books, but now you are "reading" them yourself. You just babble away!
*You love going into your sisters' rooms!
*You sign "bath" to ask to go upstairs....even if you don't want a bath or it's the middle of the day.
*You throw your head back and open your  mouth really wide to be silly
*You do not like strange people talking to you. (Or getting close!)
*We took you out of your bath ring....you still haven't figured out that you can move around!
*Favorite song: If you're happy and you know it"
*You are using tons of signs including the word, please!
*You can say "up and down"
*You can understand just about everything we tell you.  It's amazing!
*You love to be outside and you love to swing. 
*You love to empty out the pantry
*You point to yourself when I say "me"
*You constantly say the phrase, "what's that?"
*You are great about wearing your bows! 
*Size 5 diaper
*Size 18 month clothes

 Pretending to drink a soda!
 So funny! (Don't mind the messy hair!)
 One of your favorite past times.
 Hmmmm... this looks interesting...
 Having a tea party with the twins  
(She is sitting in their American Girl furniture.)

 No more bath ring! I'm free!
 Jillian shared her chair with you and you loved it!
 Visiting the new HEB....and checking out the character. You did well....no tears!
 I was just relaxing on the bottom step one evening 
and one by one the girls all joined me. :)
Sweet!
You love to carry those remotes around! Ha!
Happy 16 months!

Halloween 2016

I couldn't wait to dress up Miss Josie for Halloween. She made the cutest little ladybug! The big girls were very cute too and super excited!!

Look at that smile! She loved wearing her costume.


Ready to go! 
Kennedy and Kaitlyn were Athena, a Greek goddess and Jillian was a leopard/cat.

Pink and purple....their "signature colors". :)
The girls were excited to trick or treat with Josie this year.
Jillian being a good big sister.
Josie was so happy to be outside!



We tried to get her to go to the doors, but she would have none of that. (I think she thought she was going back inside) So, the big girls got the candy and Josie was happy just walking around and looking cute.
Our cul-de-sac pic! Josie wasn't wanting to be in the pic. Too busy!






So cute from the back!
"Let's go! Why are we stopping?"
Pure delight!

Heading back home. 
One lap around our long cul-de-sac was good for Miss Josie.
The twins headed back with her, while Jillian and Tony kept going.  The twins wanted to go back home, stay in their costume, and watch and Halloween episode of Little House on the Prairie.

"I'm all done. I'm tired. "
It was a fun Halloween! It was her 2nd one, but the first time she could have fun walking around with her sisters.
