A sister picture to start with!
It has finally started cooling down (less than 100 degrees) here in Arizona. So, I took the girls to the park to swing and just get out of the house. Gracie loves the swings and would live in one if she could. Here is our walk and swing time:
Reagan ready for her first walk to the park (this fall anyway)
Gracie is ready too!
No photo editing here folks...those eyes are true blue! Yeah!
Gracie swinging
I put her in the swing and thought..oh she looks so much bigger than she did in the spring...so sad, but so cute.
My wonderful husband has been really thoughtful lately. He surprised me with some beautiful flowers the other day..just because. How sweet is that! It is also officially my favorite time of year. One of the best things is that starting November 1st, Starbucks has eggnog and you can order an eggnog chai! It is my Christmas in a bottle. Tim surprised me one night and brought me one. Again, so sweet.
November 4th was the big day this year...the Christmas Tree went up at the Newquist home. It wasn't decorated, but it was up nonetheless. Here is the tree this year. Most of the ornaments are near the upper middle of the tree away from little hands and four legged animals. If you don't have your tree up, you can look at mine and listen to the Christmas Music...Enjoy!
November 16th was another big day. It was the 17th Anniversary of East Valley Bible Church. We had a wonderful time. Everyone met together at Mesa Amphitheater. All the different services were together and the kids too. I have to admit that this made me nervous, but it was great and all went over well. The girls were perfect. It was a long time to be good and they did great. (So did Braden and Yale!) We had the perfect spot in the back, at the top of the hill. We had a fence infront of us (so they wouldn't go rolling down the hill) and a little building next to us. It was only the poor people to the right of us that we had to worry about. So congrats to Tom and the Staff on pulling it off and horray to the kids for making it through..and the moms, dads, and nana too! Thank you Jesus for allowing us to attend East Valley in a free country without being persecuted for 17 years! So many blessings that we weekly take for granted. God is so good and faithful.

That night, Tim watched the girls so I could go to the Suns game! Tim's dad has had season tickets to the Suns for 15+ years. He is so kind to share them with us and Tim was nice enough to let me take a friend and go. Karyn Corey and I have been hanging out lately, and I know she loves the Suns. It was great to take her and watch her enjoy everything. I didn't tell her where the seats were and she was so excited to find out that we could actually see the court from our seats! It was so much fun! Thank you Uncle Newk for letting us go, thank you Tim for playing with the girls and thank you Karyn for being a wonderful date!
Suns Game...
Just the girls!
Gracie really liked those things you hit together that they give you at the game...Suns fans start early!
I did a little photo shoot with the girls for fun. Here are their best shots.
Sitting like a big girl
Reagan, smiling like always for the camera.

Gracie...being Gracie
And a Sister Picture to end with...the best one yet!
Well...that was a lot. Hope you enjoyed it all. Up next, Tim and Tyler turn 31 and Braden turns 3. All followed by Thanksgiving, Papa's Birthday, and Gracie Turns 2! It will be a fun and busy 2 weeks. Enjoy the time with your families as well. Thanks for checking in on us!
