Eponine and the Fairy

Halloween this year was filled with candy and exploring our new neighborhood.  Its all new and we had some amazing friends to explore with!  Lily was Eponine (from Les Mis) and Evie was a pink fairy to match her friend Grace!

 The Fall Festival at our church is EPIC and we all had so much fun making the rounds, filling the candy coffers, and dressing up!

RJ Comes to the Valley

Memaw made the choice to bring her beloved RJ down from the mountains.  It has been a wonderful opportunity for Evie to spend some time on him and for Mom to reconnect with the sweet boy.

He is well loved and all of these girls had a blast just hanging with him, giving him treats and introducing him to his new digs.

ZOO Adventures

Okay, I LOVE the Phoenix zoo.  Me and the girls spent several summers amongst its many animals and trails.  Its been a bit since we have been there and it was so much fun to go back for an afternoon of fun.

These monkeys will forever be some of my favorites.  They were so active when we were there!

And I cannot forget the wee desert owl that I can't miss.  I love these little guys.

 A day well spent with some of the best people!

The girls take the stage!

The girls first quarter concerts were so much fun to attend this year!  It was amazing to see Evie take the stage with her show choir, and Lily take the stage in her first High School concert.

There is nothing like watching your kids shine onstage.  It is such a gift.  I have so many wonderful memories of singing on stage and I hope that these memories will hang with the girls forever.  It was so much fun to have so many grandparents and even a visit from Aunt Sue!

We are looking forward to many more concerts together in the future.
