Halloween Princess!

Well, despite the cold and rainy weather, we started out the day going to our neighborhood block party. Ava loved mingling with all the kids.
So since it was so cold Ava couldn't wear her original princess pajamas under her tu-tu. So I put her fleece princess pajamas on over them. Put her tu-tu on, hairbow, and gave her a wand and she was ready to go.

But Daddy can I take my blankie?

Mommy let's go get some candy.

She was so cute and had such a good time. At one point I caught her eating a butterfinger that she had been holding. I do not know how she got it open. Thank goodness we knew the people that had given it to her or I would have freaked.

She caught on fast and every time we'd go to the door she would drop her wand and hold out her hands for candy. Hilarious.

Then as soon they gave her the candy she'd turn and walk away, leaving me and her wand behind.

Pumpkin Patch!

On Sunday, we headed to Aplin Farms pumpkin patch in Vince's new truck.

Hey mommy and daddy. Let's get some pumpkins.

No really, let's go.

Me and mommy gettin ready for the hayride. I think she looks like me a lot now, waddya think?

The hayride was bumpy and fun.

Daddy you like my scrunch face?

She's tryin to clap in this picture.

I love this pumpkin. Let's get it.

It's pretty sturdy.

Wow, so many pumpkins.

Look at that one.

Mommy that one looks cool.

She looks so cute hiding in the sunflowers.

She could get lost in there.

Atop a huge pumpkin.

This was funny. She thought this man was really stuck and kept tapping his boot as if to say, "buddy you ok?"

Gold Rush 2009

So last weekend we headed up to Dahlonega, GA to go to Gold Rush. It was so much fun to hang out with our college buddies. I definately wish that we lived closer to Lacey so our little girls could play together more often. We spent the night at Lacey's and had so much fun on Saturday, that we spent another day at Gold Rush on Sunday. We didn't get back to Alabama until midnight Sunday night.

It's important to have converstion.

As Ava shows in this clip. It's important to talk with your daddy. He understands everything you say:)

Videos I love lately

Ava likes to learn in the bathtub.

We went out to eat one night and Ava grabbed my lemon out of my drink.

She sure did love those animals at the petting zoo.

Kaytlin and Ava!

I wish I had some pics but Lacey took some on her camera and I'll have to get them from her this weekend. This past weekend we went to Panama City so Vince could fish with his cousin Jason and I could meet up with Lacey. She, her mom, sister and grandma were having a little vacation with the kiddos. Vince had a great time fishing and I know he was just glad to be doing something besides hobbling around on his knee. And I had a great time on the beach with Lacey and her family. Saturday night I went to dinner with them and Kaytlin (Lacey's daughter) and Ava were funny at the table. Both the girls devoured some lobster and crab cheese dip!

Petting Zoo

Yesterday we went to a local Pumpkin Farm so Ava could check out there petting zoo. We're going to go back on the weekend to ride the wagon and get a pumpkin. Ava had fun just talking and petting all the animals.
First, isn't this a cute UGA outfit? It's made by my friend Tara. You can check out her website here: Tara
