Happy Halloween!

Not going for any carving contests.
Ohhh..Fifi doggy. (thanks for the costume Tash!)

Cinderella, SpongeBob, and Dog.

Poor William and his costume. He couldn't see any steps while trick-or-treating, and kept tripping and falling all over the place. In this picture, he can't sit down. Oh, and his arms stuck straight out, too. Classic Halloween story. Great costume out of cardboard, though! Props to the parents.

Craig and a very scared looking Abby. (I don't think she likes the camera)

Awww...me and my beautiful girls.

Baby Chunk-a-Monk!

Look at my beautiful belly rolls!
Not quite sure if she's scared here or not...

There's that dimple on the left...I hope it doesn't go away!

Yeah...life is good.

New Addition...

We did it!

We paved our driveway....
....instead of putting in a lower deck.

Happy children who can rides their bikes: priceless.

Awwwww.......our Ava & little Irish pixie, Abigail.

(she has strawberry blonde hair)

The Latest and Greatist Pics!

Namma visited again...who can stay away from my girls?
Awww....Daddy's girls.

How cute is this? She's starting to grab at things!

Me and my girls.

a BIG 2 weeks....

Our 2 weeks started with:

Ava and William SO excited for their first day of Pre 3 school.
Two little monkies sittin' on a couch...

The biggest SMILE ever!

Grandma Sande & Grandpa Tony came for a visit. We had so much fun in the sun, I think we all suffered 3rd degree burns. (except the babies, of course) Grandpa Tony even hung our dining room chandelier for us! Such a great visit!

THEN, we went to Montana for Labor Day weekend, where Ava got to feed Rooster and Clay the horses every morning. She also picked carrots to feed the rabbits, and fed the chickens, too. Needless to say, WE'RE exhausted from going going going the last 2 weeks!

Ava's first haircut...(NOT by choice)

We went to Ava's friend, (not anymore...j/k) Krysta's birthday party. They had a tent set up, and the girls were playing inside. Ava came out and said, "Mommy, Krysta cut my hair." I replied, "Oh, how f..u....n?" and then I saw all the locks of ringlets on the ground. I think I went into shock after that. Too stunned to be mad. Too stunned to be sad. (Although I did ball my eyes out later) I had to keep reminding myself, it could have been worse. She could be bald. She could have had her eyes gouged out...yaddy yaddy yadda. So, here' some before and after shots. Ava was so good getting her her cut, she got her nails done, too.

We also went and saw Grandma Smith at the rehibilitation hospital, so she could meet Abby Rose. She always recognizes me when I see her! She's learning how to use a walker, and still seemed on top of things. Although, she did ask me if my husband still worked for the airlines. (Pretty close, Grandma!) She seems so lonely, though....

Lovely different lengths.

Beautiful pink nails.

Are the ringlets gone forever? *heavy sigh..we had a good run*

Somebody wipe the glow off my forehead, please. Grandma LOVED seeing the girls.
