Did you hear the one about the Oreo?

This is what happens when a four year old happily shares an Oreo with her little sister...

Halloween, Part 2 - Trick or Treating

Because Halloween and the Nevada Day "holiday" fell on the same day this year, the girls got to spend the day with Grammy and Poppy. Other than a little fall off of the bed for Lily, the day went pretty well!

As you saw in the previous post, Frances and Lily were a penguin and Tigger respectively for school. But, for trick or treating, they were wonderful Minnie Mouses.

Halloween, Part 1 - School Party

Blue Kangaroo hosted a Halloween "Carnival" this year. I was lucky enough to be able to go and enjoy the party with Frances' class.

Scheel's

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you know that Scheel's opened a store in Sparks recently. We took our first trip there a couple of weeks ago and the Ferris wheel was definitely a huge hit with our daredevil Frances.



She would have stayed on it all night, but Jesse finally had get off because he couldn't handle being stopped at the top one more time.

Frances' face...

reminds us of Emily.

Trike-a-thon

Frances recently participated in a Trike-a-thon for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. She and her friends "triked" around the playground to earn money for the "kids who are too sick to ride bikes" to quote Frances. She rode 20 laps in 5 minutes and raised $200! Yay Frances!

Lily's 1st birthday

So, Lily is 1! Can you believe it?

She got her first baby - Julian Benny.

She really loves her Little People Farm.

But, she wasn't a big fan of the cake.
