More chicken video

At the end of this video, you can hear Kadri call from the bedrom "Ava!", so Ava goes to play!

the Cutest chicken!

Our friends, the Klingler's, little girl was a chicken for Halloween. The other night, Lacey put Ava in the chicken costume and Ava showed us what a chicken.....a very hyper, candy loaded....chicken says!

Ponies and Pumpkins

We took Ava for a pony ride at one of the pumpkin patches and she LOVED it. She didn't want Rob to hold her, and she held on with only one hand. Her pony's name was Silver, but half way through the ride she got bored of Silver and wanted to ride the one behind her. Luckily no one was on it, so she got to!

At the first pumpkin patch we visited!

Leaves!!!!!!

Our neighbors tree (and ours!) dumps a TON of leaves, so this year we bought a rake so Ava could enjoy them. She was pretty hesitant at first, but once she saw mommy have fun in the pile, she decided to join in!

1st official day in nursery!

Yesterday was Ava's First Official Day in nursery! She's been in there for the last couple of months, but Rob and I have always been with her. It was the first time in months and months and months that I have sat through a Young Women's lesson, and Rob and I got to go to Sunday School together!

We all love nursery!

Shout out to Rob!

Rob's 2nd class of the semester is almost over....THANK GOODNESS. His classes are 6 weeks long with a 1 week break in between, and we are all in much need of a week break! His latest class, Organization Behavoir, has been LONG and HARD. The past 6 weeks have consisted of him getting home late from a long day at work, having 30-45 minutes to eat dinner and play with Ava, then spending the rest of the night doing homework till 11. Then he gets up and does it all over again the next day! Rob has been such a trooper though. He tries to come home at lunch and spend some time with Ava if she is awake from her nap. The other day I walked in her room at lunch, and Ava and Rob were at her little table playing with play-doh for a few minutes. Here's Rob in his dress shirt/pants and a tie sitting on a toddler chair, playing with play-doh. What a good dad! Anyways we are so proud of him and his hard work!

This post should have gone second, but oh well. Here is Ava checking out the pumpkin once we lit it!

Carving Pumpkins

We decided to carve a pumpkin for family home evening. It started out with plenty of excitement, but as soon as Ava saw Mr. Pumpkins innards she got quite upset! Once Rob got the pumpkin dissected and cleaned up, she liked it again!

Happy Birthday Steven!

We just wanted to wish Uncle Steven a fun birthday!

Stake Conference.....

Would it be wrong to hire a babysitter for the next stake conference????? just kidding

Grandma and Grandpa Moyes!

Grandma and Grandpa Moyes came to visit us this last weekend and we had such a FUN time! Of course I didn't take any pictures of it...these are the only few! On Saturday we went up to Lake Tahoe and had a freezing cold, yet fun, picnic. We couldn't get Ava away from the water! Later that day Mommy and Grandma had some fun alone time (which we went shopping!!!!) and then daddy and Grandpa went to priesthood session that night. Ava realized Grandma always carried a purse, so she had to have one too. When they were leaving to go home, Ava got her purse, and tried to sneak away with them. Another adorable story...we went on a walk around the neighborhood and Ava was fine to sit in her stroller as long as she could hold Grandpa's hand along the way!
Anways we had SO much fun with Grandma and Grandpa Moyes. Thanks for making the trip to come see us and spoil us! We love and miss you!

What a beautiful hat!

Ava thinks it's funny to wear her little swimmer diapers as hats!
