Happy Halloween

This year Sydney and Payton picked their costumes without any help from me. Sydney has been reading "Little House on the Prairie" and "My America"; so, she decided to dress as a pioneer. Payton has been fascinated with witches lately. I'm not sure why, but she decided to dress as a witch. But, she assured us that she is a good witch! Katelyn wore the traditional pumpkin costume that each of our older girls wore their first Halloween.

Kate is growing up so fast!

Kate loves to splash in her little tub.


Her first bite of food. She didn't even make a funny face!


Our baby is not such a baby anymore. She is eating food (and loving it!), she rolls all over and she can sit up on her own (until she gets excited and tips herself over!). She is a happy baby and we love her so much. Sydney and Payton are very helpful with their sister-- sometimes too helpful, but they mean well.

Hillman Cousins

Our three girls!

Everyone!

Just before school started, the girls had their pictures taken with their cousins from Brian's family. It was quite an ordeal, but definitely worth it! The photographer took some amazing photos. These are just 2 of my favorites.

School Days

Sydney is loving third grade and Payton is learning so much in preschool. It's so fun to watch their excitement for learning. It is also a blessing to have well behaved and very smart children!
