We had a great Halloween this year. My girls were fairies together.
Kade wearing Harper's costume.
Harper wore it for about three seconds.
Ella was a icicle/snow fairy.
Ava was a forest fairy.
Here Ava is heading out for a successful night of trick or treating.
I love this smile.
the bonus in the photo is Harper's fit in the back ground.
This is a rare photo of Harper with part of his costume on. He was so funny. Even tho he was not a fan of the stache. He loved watching all of the action that Halloween provided, the girls going door to door. All of the kids dressed up. He had a blast.
I love my boys, and that is all there is to say. Well I guess I love Halloween too.
Ava checking out the loot.

My girls love hot tubs, its just one big bath.

Some pictures from the California trip
On the way down we always stay at my grandma's house. My sister and her family was there waiting for us. Ava and Luke are close little cousins.
Here is a group picture of all of the cuties. Including Colman, my cousin Carly's little boy.
In the morning my Grandma is such a sweetie and always makes us a nice hot breakfast before the ten hour drive.

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.

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.
Harpers top ten favorite things...
10. Climbing on our exercise equipment.
9. Eating toast.
8. Jumping on couch.
7. Eating cheese and turkey.
6. Taking a bath.
5. Playing with spoonie.
4. Playing with his sisters.
3. Playing with dad.
2. Milk bubbs.

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.
