We love our pumpkins.

Tonight was our pumpkin carving party. Kade and I are not competitive normally, but when it comes to pumpkin carving, its on!! pictured above are the jack-o-lanterns. please vote and let us know who the master carver is. Thanks

the girls, Ava's is the bat. Ella's is the butterfly. Harper's is the little one, and that Gorgeous one on the right is my master piece.

Who is number one??? That would be me!!!

Let the artist work. Normally Kade likes to do the trace one's, I think that is cheating. So this year he totally went on his own and I have to say I was impressed.

Harper was so into it.

We let the kids design there own and Ella drew the butterfly.

Ava wanted a bat.

We also like to cook the pumpkin seeds and Ella was my greatest pumpkin seed finder.

I love this picture. I made them clean out their pumpkins Ava was so disgusted.

This is actually the first time she put her hand in.

It was such a fun night, the kids were hyper and the pumpkins were perfect. Who could ask for anything more.

So who won??

Happy Birthday Harper!!!!

I was given two beauties, and then I got my little man. Harper came to us on the 19th of October. He was such a doll. He was quite except he would smack his little lips, still does.


We found ourselves down in 29 palms for his birthday, I was so excited, this was the first B-day my parents were able to come to of my kids. Harper had a great time loved his cake.

The girls were so willing to help open presents, bless their little hearts. Give! give! give! They were so excited for Harper, they knew it was his first Birthday.

Once he understood what the presents were about he got such a kick.

What a disaster. It really was a nice little party even Harpers Great Grandma was able to come. (Grandma Calleen) I can't believe that he is already one, My life is going so fast.
He is such a joy to us all.

The wonderful world of Disney.

So the climax of our trip was the visit to the magical world of Disney. The girls were beyond excited, and to be honest kade and I were also.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of Ava. She wanted a set of ears all day long. So while Ella and Kade were in line for splash Mt. We went and got one, the girl was in heaven.

Ava and Kade in line at the haunted house. I was worried about this one with Ava. She is pretty timid, and I was right to be worried this one scared the crap out of the Boofie

Ava waiting patiently at the Blue Bayou. Her and Ella split a Mac and Cheese plate. I had the Monte cristo of coarse and Kade had some Cajun dish that he wasn't a fan of. Two out of three isn't too bad.

We got to meet up with Rach and Thomas. They just happened to be there on the same day. The more I get to know Rach the cooler she becomes and she is already up there in the cool chart. Thomas isn't to bad either.

We road a couple of ride's with them here we are riding the Matterhorn.

We were lucky and got to see a lot of stars. Here is Ella hugging Goofie.

This is goofie showing Ava some love.

We got to see pluto as well.

But nothing and I mean nothing compares to seeing the Princesses, nothing people.
We waited in line for a bit and you don't know who you are going to see. The girls got to hang out with snow white. Notice the bliss on Ava's face.

Ava was really cute. She would just run to the princess's and throw her arms around them. Ella was trying to find out if they were the real deal. Ava had no doubt.

Again the bliss.

Jasmine was my favorite, She was such a doll, so sweet to the girls. She was talking to them about going shoe shopping in the market place. The girls ate it all up.

Jasmine Rocked!!

This is the new submarine ride, Finding Nemo. This was our longest wait and I think that it was well worth it.

Ava was a little bit nervous before we started but quickly got into it.

Kade and Ella waiting to go and find Nemo darn it.

Mr. Toads wild ride. Lets just say it was wild, I felt like I was on drugs or maybe some heavy cough syrup. I thought that this might be a milder ride for Ava, I was wrong. I was fun for Ella and I.

In line. I know it seems we are in line a lot but we really lucked out the park was not crowded at all.

We took this picture at the gate. Notice how Ava cannot contain her excitement.
Ava calm down kid.

We really had a great time together. It really was quite the day, in fact it was such a great day it just about took the rest of our Vacation to recover. Thanks Walt.

Intermission

I have so much I still need to blog about from our trip. This is all from the later part of the Vacation. Next time I will blog about the beginning.

One more take Ava!!

Here is a picture of a gorgeous little creature I love to call Boofie.

She is such a cute kid, and like most two year olds it takes quit a few pictures to get a good one, they just get bored of it so quickly. Now the really fun thing about Ava's picture taking skills is her facial expressions in the first bunch of pictures that I took, here below are some of my favorites.

I will now give you Ava's inner dialog.....
Here we go again moms taking pictures.

Just let it be over soon

Maybe I will give her my bright big eyes.

Or my come over here stare

or my how you doing?
Man I love this kid, what more can be said then she is awesome.

Some nature pictures from the hike

The Hike

So one of the days we decided to go for a hike in the park. We hikes to Barkers Dam. Basically some cowboys built a dam to water their Cattle.

My hot husband, and stinkin cute son. We found a cave that has hieroglyphs.

My girls made it their business to go into every cave they could find.

Here are Ella and Ava holding up a massive rock, Can you say I eat my Wheaties.

Kade always gets a kick out of these signs. No swimming. We hiked pretty late in the season, normally there is water to swim in.

Posing, I love Ella's muscle flex.

Here we are all flexing, I know you are jealous of my guns, and that is okay.

Sisters

Half way there.

This hike is great for little ones, I think around trip it is about a mile.
