We're ready for our close-up!

Marc had school pictures taken yesterday. I thought both kids looked super cute, so of course I had to take their pictures. :)

This is Marc looking super handsome!
These are my two super-cute kiddos!!Samantha really looks up to her big brother! ;)

Fun Saturday!!

We started our Family Fun Saturday out by going to Klackle's Orchard. We have taken Marc there every year since he has been old enough and this was Samantha's first time to Klackle's. It was her first time to an apple orchard and to a pumpkin patch.

She was very curious about the apples on the trees. Sam enjoyed grabbing at all of the leaves, she was actually more fascinated by the leaves then the apples.

She loved licking the apples though. We actually had to take them away from her, she liked them so much!

It is a yearly tradition to go to Klackle's and take this picture of Marc.....

And we began the tradition for Samantha too.

After we got done playing at Klackle's we took Marc to go trick-or-treating in Downtown Rockford. We bought his this costume to take to Disneyland's Halloween party, not realizing how big it was. We will not be able to fit it in our suitcase to take it with us, so I am glad he got to wear it once.

All in all, we had a very fun, and tiring day. :)

Sitting Pretty

Yea!!!! Samantha is finally starting to sit up on her own. She will sit for about 20-30 seconds on her own. If she moves a little bit, she falls over, but hey, it's a start! :)

Red Flannel 2008

We went to Cedar Springs' annual Red Flannel Festival today. This was Samantha's first Red Flannel Festival.

There were a bunch of Star Wars people there as part of the festival.
They offered Jedi Training for $5. We had Marc do it. It was very cute. they went step by step on how to use the light saver.

After the training was over, Marc got a certificate of completion. He is now a padwon (Jedi in training).

Jewelry Party

Ok.......I have a confession to make......I am a jewelry addict. :) I like having a bunch of really pretty jewelry, but I am not willing to spend all the money that is necessary, so I have a jewelry party once a year. I have lia sophia jewelry parties. They have awesome hostess benefits! I had a party in the end of September. I got about $1,000 in jewelry for about $200, needless to say, it is worth having people in my house for 3 hours to get all the free jewelry! Mom, below is a picture of all the stuff I got. If anyone is intested in having a party, let me know and i will contact my representative.
