On Nov 7 it was 3 years since we lost our twin girls, Alyssa and Ashley. Amanda and I went to the grave and put flowers on the stone. This is a hard day for Carson and I. I think it is going to be like that for the rest of our lives. We know where they are, and are so thankful for them. We love you Alyssa and Ashley.

Halloween

We took Amanda trick or treating to a couple houses on our street. She got more candy than we gave away, we only had 10 kids. We thought there would've been a lot more because the weather was so nice. It normally snows on Halloween in colorado, this year it was like 60 degrees even after dark. I think amanda likes chocolate!!

Amanda helped us carve the pumpkin.
