A Little Princess and the Scooby-Doo Gang

 When we went trick-or-treating last night, I reminded Cozette to say thank you at each house. Sometimes she would say "Thank you" and other times she would say "Happy Halloween." The best part of the evening was when we arrived at a very festive house. The lady answered the door and instead of saying "trick- or-treat" Cozette said, "Thank you!" The lady laughed and gave her extra candy.

I love having a three year old enjoy the festivities of Halloween.

Cozette and Emma Grace

An incredible resemblance of Daphne and Velma!

Introducing Sydney as Velma, Hunter as Fred, Ammon as Shaggy, Kayleigh as Daphne, and a very brave Michael as Scooby-Doo! Kayleigh is blessed to have such good friends.

Now, if you're wondering where Everett is, I did not get a single picture of him this
Halloween. He almost got his nerve up to go as a nerd. At the last minute, he decided that he just couldn't go through with it.

Guess what he was instead?

A baseball player.

Very original.

She's All That

She's 14 now.

She's also dynamite, spectacular, smart, witty, clever, creative, full of life, beautiful, good, kind, thoughtful, a true friend, classy, independent, the owner of a new cell phone, loyal, snazzy, humble,  easy going, dramatic, sensational, incredible, outstanding, amazing, friendly, a fantastic back scratcher, stylish, absolutely positively wonderful...

And a little bit more.

A Citizen in Action

A letter addressed to Everett came in the mail today. I opened it because I thought that it was a blue card. They have recently been working on the citizenship merit badge. I had no idea that Everett had written this to Senator Chambliss at Boy Scouts.

It delighted me beyond words.
