The Great Pumkin.... Tietjen

Last Week we carved our Pumkins... Inspiration from Tiejten of course.....

Darth Vader, Star Wars logo, Storm Tropper

Tietjen didn't like the spiderwebs inside the pumkin!

Anna Belle just wanted to do what we were doing.. and she kept trying cut the seeds up???

Happy Halloween

Friday night was our ward Halloween Carnaval!! We of course dresed up!!

Our little "Princess Leia"

"Darth Maul"

"Queen Amadala & Darth Vader"

The family that dressed up together - stays together!!
We had lots of fun!!
We are excited to spend Halloween night in Utah with family!!!

NEW WINDOWS

Our little house has HORRIBLE windows... and we just had them replaced..

Here are the before and after shots!!!

We had two sets of windows at each window. The orginal ones with the house and then someone along the way put in storm windows also. It all was just UGLY!!

Or big cracks or missing half of the front orignal windows!

(Missing because Jeff broke one of the panes by pounding on it because our neighbors dog was barking and woke the kids up)

THen someone along the way did replace the front two windows of the house... but they didn't match and the screen was ruined because of our dog!! (We forgot the shut the window and left to run to the store and he jumped out... our neighbors put him in the backyard- Thanks - I love!! having good neighbors that we always watchout for each other!!)

Here they are tearing out the old ones... it took like 10 minues and it was ALL GONE!!

Here are our new windows.. they all match, keep out the cold air, and I can hardly hear Jax(our dog) barking at the squirls in the backyard now!! I LOVE THEM!!! Thanks American Exteriors!!

Halloween Sneak Peak:

I bet you can't guess what we are for Halloween??

Sunflower Child

Anna Belle wore her beautiful sunflower dress yesterday, despite the snow & cold. She even let me do her hair. She just looks so cute... it was hard to let her get me to take her picture!

(Thanks Aunt Wendy for our beautiful dress... we finally grew tall enough to wear it)

Eating lunch after church! (she did wear a pink button sweater ontop of the dress!)

Getting mad at me because I kept trying to take her picture!!

Playing the piano!! Don't you just love her tails!!

This morning after having pigtails - her hair was quite the flip up! Annie has learned about baby dolls. She just had to have a blanket and carries it around. We love that she is starting to play with dolls and not just wanting what ever Tietjen has. Thanks cousin Kristie for showing her how to play mommy!

Best of Friends

Yesterday, I looked out our Kitchen window to see this...

Isn't she just so BEAUTIFUL!

Anna Belle and Jax are good friends... they like to "hang" together and annoy each other!

Exercising

I asked Tietjen to get ready and he said " No" I asked "Why not?"

He replyed "I'm Exercising!"

Anna Belle was just not HAPPY!!

Musical Geniuses

Anna Belle LOVES to play the piano... in fact I have not sat down to play for at least 6 months because if I do she has to ALSO. Which then no practicing gets done. Now.... at 18 months old (end of this month - ya nursery!!!) She likes to sit at the piano by herself with no mommy and play. I pull the bench out just enought that she can get on and off by herself.

This time Tietjen wanted to show off his musical talents.... with his head & feet!

I really don't know where he picks these things up???? Must be from his dad!
