Cash Laughing 2

Another video of cash laughing. Sorry about the quality, it is from my cellphone camera!

What a Mess!

I don't think Mike and I have ever had a Family Home evening together since we've been married, bad, I know. Since Ava is starting to get older we decided that it would not only good for her, but for us as well. It went okay, I guess. The attention span of a 19 month old is um, about 2 seconds, so we had a short story about Noah and the Ark, then painted pumpkins again but this time on paper plates. Kind of weird, I know, but Ava enjoyed getting messy. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. And thanks to our cute little boy Cash, he just sat there in his bouncy chair and smiled. He's such a good little boy!

Pumpkin

Last night we decided to let Ava paint her pumpkin for Halloween. I spent time cutting out a stencil of a bat and traced it on the pumpkin, thinking she would try and paint the bat. That plan didn't work out, so I just let her do her own thing, and she had a blast. It turned out beautiful!

Happy Birthday

Today was my mom's birthday, so the kids and I spent the day with her. First we took her to lunch, went shopping, then went back to her house and hung out. I love my mom so much. I appreciate all she does for my family, especially the kids. She is such a great example to me. Happy Birthday Mom, we love you! Here are some pictures I took of the kids and Grandma today.

Family Halloween Party

Every year Mike's family has a Halloween Party, costume required. So this year Mike and I went all out. I found these costumes and I had to get them. I had to get past the thought of embarrassing myself, and just have fun, despite what I may look like. Mike and I just laughed at each other when we put them on, they were way too small. They rode up in places where they shouldn't ride up, and were a bit too see through when the camera flashed (so I am sorry), but we had a blast! Everyone loved our costumes, and yes we won the costume contest, yeah!! (if anyone doesn't know who we were, we were Adam and Eve)


Ava was a cute little bumble bee, and Cash just dressed up in Halloween fashion. What a fun night!

If Ava had hair

As most of you know, Ava has not yet been blessed with a full head of hair. So when I picked up a wig for my Halloween costume, I decided to try it on her to see what she would look like with hair.

As you can tell she wasn't crazy about it, but didn't she look beautiful!!

This is what her hair really looks like. One day I decided to see if she had enough to put into a pony tail, and this is what we came up with. She was so cute. She held really still while I was doing it, after I told her how beautiful she looked, she smiled and tilted her head. I love her with or with out hair.

Happy Cash
