10 Funny Things My Girls Said This Week...

1. I was dancing like a goofball trying to get Ellie to not be a grump bum and she told me "No mama, don't be Foofa" (the big pink one that dances on Yo Gabba Gabba)

2. Reese handed me Mr. Potato Head and told me to "Fix Mr Heads Butt." Yes, she did get reprimanded for saying butt.

3. Ellie was running in the kitchen and slipped and fell. I asked her what happened and she said (in a very fake sad voice) "Tay Tay pushed me!" Mind you that not only is Taytum 5 months old, but was also playing in her exersaucer in the other room.

4. I was cleaning my bedroom today and had just made the bed. I left the room for a minute and when I came back in Reese said "Come find me mom!" and had crawled underneath the bedspread, sheets and matress pad. So basically my bed was made except for the big lump that was Reese right in the middle of the bed.

5. Ellie came in our room at about 7:00 in the morning, stretched, looked at daddy, then very sleepily said "Hi Kell."

6. Reese will come in whatever room you are in and say "Hi guys, what doing" about 15 times a day.

7. Reese wales up every morning and says "Hi mom, I want pickle and cheese."

8. Kell's mom came over to babysit and they very excitedly screamed "Hi Linda!!"

9. I told Ellie "I love you sooo much!" and she said to me "Mama, I love you too much"

10. Ellie was very mad at mama the other day, and in the angriest voice that a 2 year old could muster she said "Mom, GO HOME!!!"

The girls are at such a fun age-they love singing church songs andare getting better about not taking their diapers off (knock on wood) Taytum is laughing and smiling at everything she sees, and is rolling around all over the place. I have such a wonderful family!! In the words of Ellie and Reese "I love mommy, she loves me. We love Kell, yesiree. He loves us and so you see, we are a happy family! Video below:

Happy Halloween!!!

Yeehaw, it's Halloween!! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I always want a theme to the costumes (hey, I am a stay at home mom, this is what I live for!) so this year it was Cowboys, Cowgirls and Cowpokes!! I had fun putting the girls costumes together, and Taytum was so snuggly and warm in her cute cow costume!! We had a pretty good Halloween. It was Tay Tay's first Halloween (fun fact: last year on Halloween night Kell and I found out we were preggers with our third little "ghoul"), so that was fun. The girls are now realizing the sweet glory of candy, so the looks on their faces were pretty priceless when they realized people were giving them candy just for saying 3 magical words...Trick or Treat. The girls went to daddys work party on Thursday and got some goodies, then the next day was Halloween, so of course we went to our wards Trunk or Treat. I am going to be honest-I dont know if I love Trunk or Treat. I feel like it shouldn't be on Halloween, but maybe the weekend before. I wish they would hand out some official rules at General Conference or something. Anyways, the girls went around to about 20 cars then they were done. I on the other hand wanted them to hit the streets hard so I could feed my candy addiction (literally) but they were pretty distracted with their Tootsie Pops that they got from the first car and couldn't really keep their eyes on the prize. So it was pretty fun for them, but nothing like when I was a kid. I guess Halloween, like everything else in this world is just different than when I was younger. I felt safe eating the homemade popcorn balls that my children will never experience unless I take them to the airport where they can run it through the x-ray machine to make sure no one has hidden razor blades or drug paraphanelia in them...sigh...the good ole' days. Hope everyones Halloween was spooktacular!!

PS-You can see all of our current videos and lots more pics at mondragonspace.com

PPS-Am I the only one that is fed up with the 12 year old boys putting on a black sweat suit and white make-up on their face and going out trick or treating? I want to ask them when they come to the door that if they can explain exactly what they are, rather than a mooch, then yes, I will give you the coveted minuature Butterfinger (which, for some reaon is 3000 times more delicious than the normal sized.) So to all of you that send your kids out as "Sweat Suit Weirdos" please give them a pair of black pantyhose to put over their eyes and go as burglars, because really, isnt that what a 13 year old going trick or treating is anyways?

This is Heather (Hillary's sister) writing...(who am I kidding, everyone that knows you knows me, right?)
Because I am keeping this blog alive, I am going to attach some of my favorite pics. The one of Taytie in her Bumbo chair is SO adorable!!!









Reese (or Ellie) with her BA-BOON.

Hill, we are pleading for you to post Halloween pictures. What is cuter than nieces and nephews??? Seeing them dressed up!

Welcome to the 21st Century Hillary!

Well, I am going to start off by saying Thank You to Heather and Jed for giving me a little push (and by little push I mean a huge shove) into the blogging world. Not only did they call me up to tell me that they set up a blog for me, but spent 2 hours explaining how to bring up the pictures. So I'm not the most computer savvy, alright??! Anyone who knows me knows that the biggest joy I have in life is showing off and bragging about my 3 angels. They are my whole life and I love every last thing about them, so a blog is the perfect place where I can tell all the funny and adorable things that they do, i.e. Reese calling Ellie her sweetheart, and Ellie calling Reese, well, Ellie (it gets a little confusing around here) I am not making any oaths about how often I can update, but I will try really hard when the girls go to bed and I have that 3 minute window of opportunity before I collapse into bed. FYI-if no one leaves a comment this blog will be the shortest lived blog ever known!! Enjoy!
