Trunk or Treat (my favorite time of year)

Our ward had our Halloween Trunk-or-Treat tonight. My friend and I decorated my trunk for the activity. The girls had a blast, well Presley (aka Tinkerbell) loved it. Layla (aka pink/purple bug) just hung out and tried to eat her hat. I decided to hand make their outfits (with a little help from Tiff sending me wings and booties for P) because we are limited on only walmart costumes here in Hilo and fabric is only 2$ a yard.--- Let me just say if I don't see a sewing machine for another 5 years it would be fine with me. It was more work then I bargained for, plus I didn't have patterns so I made it all up. (I had to re-fix everything a dozen times--hahah). The things you do for your kids!

30 Something

Today I hit my dreaded milestone of "30". I survived and actually feel good about it. I decided to look at the small lines taking up residency under my eyes and welcome them as a reminder of all the wonderful years I have lived and how lucky I am to have a beautiful family who loves me. I woke up to phone calls from family members and ate lunch with 2 of my best girl-friends here in Hawaii (Ben watched the girls so I could have a real lunch break:) Then in the evening Ben took me to Maui Tacos where we split 1/2 price Taco Tuesday and came home and had a big spread of cakes and ice cream. It was great.

ps-- my sister posted a really cute B-day blog for me. Check it out (thanks Tiff, you made my day) http://tbuhman.blogspot.com/

Can Ben pick great B-day treats or what (I love him and his sweet tooth very much:)

New pics of girls

I wanted to show everyone how much the girls are growing (esp for those of you who don't live around us). Layla is really growing like a weed, she is quite possibly the biggest and strongest 4 month old ever. She can already sit up on her own. Presley is P-training and doing such a great job, I pick 3 times a day and put her on her potty and 70% of the time she actually goes--YAY P-lady:)
