Abi and Avri

Soaking up the warm weather

Who would have thought on November 1, we would be enjoying the entire day outside?

Abi and Daddy caught 6 butterflies and saved them in her bug box. Abi took Avri on MANY trips around the house in her jeep ( sorry Avri for the whiplash) and we spent some time at the park!

We took our lunch to the park and had another picnic.....I dread the thought of being cooped up in the house this winter!

And on Sunday, it was just as beautiful out! The girls enjoyed lunch at their picnic table. This was Avri's first time sitting and actually eating at the table. It was so cute, she fell backwards once and laid on her back with her food in hand and continued to eat! Nothing comes between her and her food!

Wedding reception

One of my cousins got married a few weeks ago on the white sands of Panama City Beach, FL. ( is that not awesome!!!)

Congrats Eric &Jill!

Saturday was the reception.

Unfortunately, all my pics from the reception came out blurry. But I had to share this one. Abi met this little girl, Carli, at the reception and they danced the night away. Here they are slow dancing. Too cute!

Holy COW!

A, B, C's

Lately, Abi has been so interested in writing. "How do you spell Laney, Mommy?" "How do you spell Fishy?" "How do you spell snowman?" She is blowing our minds at how good she is doing at writing. ( remind you, she is only 3 yrs and5 months) She can sit down and write a few words with out even asking because she has practiced them so much. Mommy and Daddy both. And now Halloween because she has done it so much! I caught her in my room below, copying words from a Halloween book- ( priceless! with my shoes on)

This I took this morning on our way to Sharon's. She did this without even asking how to spell it! ( it says Avri in case you cant read it!)

Trick or Treat

Ok,.. I think Halloween may be up there for one of Abi's favorites. She had so much fun! The weather was great which made it so much more fun for the girls (and us!) I normally stay back and hand out candy- but it was to nice outside to miss out, so I pulled Avri in the wagon as Tony and Abi went up to each house on our street. Then Abi spent the rest of the evening eating her pizza in the entry way passing out candy. Her and Daddy had a system down, he did the boys and she got to do the girls. She enjoyed this as much as trick or treating.

They sure were cute!! Abi has already decided what she will be for the next 4 years: Peter Pan, a unicorn, a rainbow, and Snow White. :)

Abi's school Halloween Party

Today was Abi's party. Mommy's tired! :) I offered to help and it was a lot of fun, did I say I was tired? :) Craziness. They visited each office - would sing two Halloween songs and get treats and off to the next office. Just a challenge to get approx 30 kids to follow a single line when there is candy involved! Enjoy the pics- Abi is Cinderella..(of course she would be, she picked out her own Halloween costume!)

Decorating Pumpkins...

Tony was off Saturday, so we decorated pumpkins. Abi did the first one in markers- not sure why I don't have a picture of her doing that- but she put a rainbow on the front and smiley faces on the back. Then we did one with a pumpkin decorating kit- kinda like her Mr Potato Head. It was a Princess - so cute!

Then we did the Jack-O-Lantern one. She wasn't to big in diggin' out the yuk inside. She did a few handfuls and quit- she said it was like cobwebs. So Daddy got to clean out the rest-

FALL Family Picture

Two weekends ago my immediate family had our pics taken together- something my Mom has always wanted to do, but was waitng for everyone to be done having kids. :) Pretty sure we're all done... so take a look ..... ( just click on Miller Studio) Miller Studio

Surprise

All I could say is... Please tell mommy its not on the walls..... Not sure yet why Abi decided to take her clothes off and color on herself, but she did. One of those Kodak Moments I guess.
