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!

Where's Ava?????

Since Rob is such a handy guy, he decided to change the brakes on the Maxima to save us a few $$. Anyways Ava had a great time jammin to some tunes in front and eating a fruit roll up!

Good friends

I watched my friend's little girl the other day. Ava and Kadri have become good buddies, and have lots of fun playing together. Here are a few pictures of them playing. (I know it seems weird that they are playing in the crib, but they both wanted to get in there and they had such a good time!)

This picture makes me laugh. For "soothing" purposes, Ava sucks on a binky and Kadri sucks on her thumb. So here is Ava trying out Kadri's thumb sucking technique. The crib bar is covering Kadri's mouth, but she is doing the same thing.
