Happy Halloween!

Here are a few shots of the girls all dressed up. Grace and Sarah are dressed as our favorite children's book character, "Fancy Nancy" and Hannah is dressed as Kala from Tarzan. We saw a children's theater group do Tarzan over the summer and she has had her heart set on dressing just like the lead character. She was so tickled this morning. It didn't matter one bit that no one else would know what she was.

The parent group at Hannah's school sponsors a Halloween Parade every year. The kids all march through each other's classrooms and then around the quad a couple times ending with class pictures, doughnuts and milk. I am thankful she is at a school that still lets the kids cut loose and have fun on special days. I hope she will have lots of fond memories of these fun times.

Weekend Getaway

Last weekend we Cobbs enjoyed a weekend getaway. Rob and I attended a beautiful wedding at Stanford that my sister was in and the girls spent the weekend playing with their Papa Mike and Grandma Kris. Everyone had a great time.

A Sister and a Friend

32 years ago today I got the best 3rd birthday present a girl could ask for...a baby sister. Time has turned that baby sister into a treasured friend.

Happy Birthday Kel!

I Wanna be a Rock Star

Well...not really. But my toes got the rockstar treatment today compliments of my buddy Liz. She got hers done too. They are so pretty and sparkly I can't stop looking at them. I haven't bumped into anything yet, but I'm sure it's coming. Props to Mandy who can take 10 of the ugliest toes you've ever seen and turn them into sparkly little disco balls.

Clearing our Lungs

Last Sunday we spent the day in the mountains breathing some crisp clean air and enjoying the scenery. We had the opportunity to chaperon a field trip sponsored by the Outdoor Adventure club at the high school. We drove the van up with all three girls and two students. All in all about 25 students, several adults and some of their kids made the 5 mile round-trip hike to the Needles fire lookout. Certain that the girls would end up on our backs and since there are three of them and only two of us, we opted for a much easier walk through the Trail of 100 Giants and met back up with the group in the afternoon. It was a perfect day.
