A Good Laugh

Bailey and Raif told me to sit down in the playroom so they could do a fashion show. That little boy sure does love his sister and will do just about anything she tells him to. These pictures are going to come back and haunt him, his sister will make sure of that in the years to come. I thought they were too cute not to share. So, enjoy a good laugh, on Raif!

Bailey decided to teach her little brother the cheer dance she had learned early that morning at the cheer clinic. I think he looks like a little old lady trying to walk in heals.

Cheer Clinic 2011

Jaymee's cheer team once again hosted a cheer clinic. Bailey had a great time since her big cousin was one of her instructors. There was a big turnout for this event and a great fundraiser for their cheer team.

Halloween School Parade and Trick or Treating

Halloween was so wonderful this year. It started out with Bailey's Halloween Parade at School. Bailey's face lit up every time she saw us on her parade walk. Raif even joined his big sister on their last lap of the parade. The day ended with us watching two kids, who have never really wanted to trick-or-treat, become ultimate trick-or-treaters! Raif kept asking to go to the next house and Bailey was right there with him.

My favorite picture of Halloween!
Hi there Bailey!

I still can't believe he actually wore his costume

Trick-or-treat!

Raif had to make a little pit stop to check out the goods!

Pumpkin Carving

I was so exhausted from battling the stomach flu, but rallied to be a part of our annual pumpkin carving the night before Halloween. Bailey chose a peace sign design, while Raif had a piratey pumpkin.

Determined to get the seeds out.

I think he likes his creation

Halloween Party

Colby and I were invited to a Halloween Party this past weekend at our friends, The Darling's, house. I lasted all of about an hour before we had to exit the party, with a horrible stomach pain that turned into the stomach flu. At least we got a cute picture before the sickness commenced!

Halloween at Dance Class

Bailey's dance studio had a fun dance class for Halloween. Each year, everyone comes in their costumes for their regular dance class. They practice dance to some fun Halloween music, and this year even turned off all of the lights, had strobe lights and a fog machine!
