Punkins, punkins, punkins!

A few weeks ago I took the girls to the "punkin patch" (as Sydney likes to say) and took some sweet pictures of them!  They also got to pick out several pumpkins to bring home so they were pretty excited about that!  Avery was mesmerized by the pumpkins and just kept looking at them and touching them, don't think she'd ever seen one before and it was so cute!

 

Sydney immediately picked out this bumpy little punkin to take home.  Such a sweet girl!

 I put Avery down right in the middle of the pumpkins and told the girls to squeeze in. :)

She wasn't sure at first about all the punkins!



Sydney was very happy about the pumpkin she had picked out!

"Hold on Mom, what is going on here?!"

Giving little sis the low down on the pumpkin patch.  Love this picture!

This was little sweet pea's first Halloween!

Having fun checking out all the pumpkins!

"Ok Mom, I'm ready to go now!"

Picking up all the baby pumpkins, she loved them!

Say cheeeeeeeeeese girls (as Sydney tips Avery over)!

Taking a feel of Sydney's crazy bumpy pumpkin.
 

The Saturday before Halloween we took the girls to Scare on the Square. 
The girls had fun, but there were a lot of people there!

This girl will not leave a bow on for more than 5 seconds anymore!

As soon as she takes it off she tries to put it back on herself. :)
 

Our three little munchkins at Scare on the Square!
 

One happy little witch!
 

Jayda got a butterfly painted on her face that night.  She loved it and even had to sleep with it on!




Grandma's little pumpkin!

Attempt at a family picture!

 

The girls got to have their picture taken in the fire truck!
 

Sweet baby girl watching it rain all day long!

She loves to push the "car car" all over Oma and Oupa's house!  She would do this all day long if she could! 
If she runs into something and can't go anymore she screams. Silly baby!

 

Our little candy corn witch and her candy corn treat all dressed up for Halloween! :)

Sydney loved being a witch for Halloween.  She kept trying to scare everyone and would walk into the room and say "ROOAARR!!"  It was pretty hilarious.

 


This is a horrible picture, but we did carve a pumpkin on Halloween and the girls thought it was so funny!

 

Little candy corn treat with Oma waiting to go trick or treating!

 

Vrooom vroom, she's on the move!

Our little angel didn't want to show her face, lol!

One lady was giving out coke instead of candy, oh my!  Sydney was thrilled and opened it right away!

"Trick or treat!!!"

The crazy lady pumpkin that we carved before heading out to trick or treat!

The night after Halloween we went to Scooter's surprise Duck Dynasty birthday party.  I could not stop laughing
at this...Dr. Wells, Sara and Jayda dressed up in Duck Dynasty gear. LOL!

We celebrated Pawpaw's 71st birthday on Saturday!

Avery Mae will push anything she can around the house.  She wants to walk so bad!

Not sure what got into me, but me and the girls decided to give Daddy a spa pedicure.  I guess it was his lucky day!

After that Jayda and I headed out to get our nails done and do some shopping. 
It was fun to spend some one on one time with my big girl!

Ty and Avery had lots of fun playing together over the weekend as usual.

Avery loves to push the shopping cart around the house too....this girl!


 

 I think that pretty much sums up our Halloween 2013!

 

 



 

 

~Fall Twenty Thirteen~

I cannot believe it is already the Fall!  Time has been flying by and it seems to never slow down.  Everything has been going really well now that we are back in Huntsville and getting all settled in.  School is going great for both Jayda and Sydney.  I am so thankful for that and both of their wonderful teachers!  It's so nice that the temperatures have been cooling down so that we can go outside more too. I'm sure the next  post will be of Halloween pictures!  The girls cannot wait...we're going to have an angel and 2 witches!  Lol!



Avery loves to play with Sydney on the choo-choo train!

Sydney was playing with playdough one afternoon and Avery came up and decided she wanted to play too.



Silly glasses from Aunt Cheryl!



Avery has started getting into EVERYTHING these days!  Cabinets, drawers, doors, you name it and she has figured it out!



She also has lots of fun pulling out the recycling stuff.



Sydney and I went on a pretzel date one afternoon.  It was so sweet just to take her alone and enjoy some one on one time!



Little bit always gets into her big sister's books!  She likes to look at them, but really loves to chew on them!



I took these pictures one morning after Avery woke up.  She really is the sweetest little sister ever!



I got the big girls these adorable mum rings for the Huntsville Homecoming.  I thought they were so cute!!



Heading out to the Homecoming game, minus little bit...she stayed home with Nana and Pawpaw. :)



Jacob took the girls riding around on the 4 wheeler in the pouring rain one Sunday morning. 
They LOVED it and screamed at the top of their lungs the ENTIRE way! 



Sad to say that this is the last picture I have of Sydney taking dance.  The girls all got "diamonds" on their ballet shoes that day.  Unfortunately Sydney doesn't want to dance anymore.  Hopefully next year we can try again.



Getting into the kitchen cabinets again!  She is such a little munchkin!



Avery Mae loves Daisy dog!  She gets so tickled when she sees her and if she can get ahold of her she starts squealing. 
It is the cutest thing ever!



Ty came to visit one weekend and they had so much fun playing together!  They are less than a month apart so they love to do the same things!  Avery was so excited to have another baby her size around to play with!



The girls were having lots of fun throwing sticks for Harley to fetch in the pond.



Avery says "Hey family, where are you going without me?!?!"



I took this picture of Avery and Jayda after church one sunday.  I love Avery's little outfit from the Sanders family!!

A friend of ours at church took these adorable pictures of Avery at 9 months.  This is my favorite one!

"YAY Avery!"  She puts her hands up in the air like this a lot and it's so cute!



Such a sweet baby girl.



Sweet girl was showing off her two little bottom teeth.  I love this picture!

She likes to put her hands together a lot.  Such a little angel baby.

"Roll em up, roll em up, throw em in the pan!"  These pictures turned out so
incredibly cute and really captured her little personality at this age.  Love them!!

Sydney caught a lady bug one afternoon on our way to run errands. 
She was so excited about it.  Sydney LOVES bugs, and not just pretty ones.

I thought this was SO precious of Jayda and Avery.  They really favor each other here...definitely sisters!

Sydney had a blast painting pumpkins one afternoon.  She really liked mixing all the colors together!

Which ultimately turned all of the paint black.  Oh well though, she sure had fun.

So much fun that we had to paint some more pumpkins the next day!   And, she made more black pumpkins. :)



We had Jayda's 1st grade open house last week.  Jayda was so excited to show us all her work at school.  She is doing a great job and learning a lot.  She loves her teacher so that really helps!  We're so proud of her!



Daisy went on a ride with Oupa to the farm last week.  Oupa loves taking her so that he has a buddy in the car and she loves riding, so it works out well for both of them. ;)



This little munchkin LOVES to swing!  She laughs and giggles and just thinks it's the best thing ever!



Ty came back to stay again last weekend while his Mommy and Daddy went on an anniversary trip.  The two of them are so cute together!  They play together a lot and follow each other around the house.  If one starts crawling into the kitchen or down the hallway the other one follows.  It's going to be so cute to see them grow up together!



Nana got home from the grocery store and they were both so happy. 
They kept banging on the door and looking for her while she unloaded groceries.



Sweet girl turned 10 months old this past Monday, October 14th!  It's so hard to believe that she will be 1 year old in 2 short months.  It really fells like I just had her the other day!  Time sure does fly when you're having fun!  Avery is such a joy and we are so thankful that God gave her to us!
