 Getting ready to go to school with our neighbors, the Stewarts
 At school Charlotte was the Grasshopper in James and the Giant Peach....
 and Kalicia was a Queen from a Fairy Tale.
(Each class picked a theme for their party)
 (Eating eyeballs for breakfast and carving pumpkins. Gotta love Halloween fun!)
 .....Halloween Parties.......
Tammy and I always have so much fun with our kiddos!
 
(Caroline couldn't figure out why everyone was using their mouths to get the apples out of the water.  She just reached in and picked one out with her hand, like duh! ~so funny!!)



Happy 56th Birthday Grandpa Pember!!!



 Grandpa got out his Didgeridoo from his mission in Australia.
The girls thought that was so fun!

Charlotte took another hard fall.  Lots of stitches, xrays and crying.  Crying mostly by me probably.  I get so sad seeing her get hurt and I can't protect her every minute.  She is trying so hard to be independent.  This time I realized how grown up she is.  She wasn't just my hurt little girl that I have to protect this time.  She has her own frustrated feelings.  She expressed to me how frustrated she is, using the word frustrated.  She also told me she doesn't want to lose her balance anymore and asked me how she can stop falling.  The hard part is when she loses her balance her arms are in her crutches, so she has no hands to catch herself and so she falls right to her face. She is healing nicely, with no major damage, just more scars.  We sure love our beautiful Charlotte!
