Dancing Queen!

Ava has been taking tap and ballet since September with her sweet friend Hayley! Had to get a quick picture of our dancing queen!

State Fair of Texas

This year we all took a day off of work to go to the State Fair of Texas! The girls LOVED it!!! Ava was so brave this year! She rode so many rides and was fearless of nothing (except Ronald McDonald). He was a little loud I most say!

Full of excitement!

Daddy and Poppy's girl!

Being brave with Sissy!

First time on the swings for both girls!

Big girl roller coaster with daddy!

Aubrey loving Ronald McDonald, Ava not so much!

Yay for Ronald McDonald!

Aubrey started out on the carousel and ended up in daddy's arms!

We were most surprised to see Ava wanting to go on this slide! SHE LOVED IT!

The fair sure is tiring!

Aubrey was unsure about some of the rides, but braved them with her Sissy! There is something about seeing the excitement in your child's eyes that makes my heart swell!  We were so lucky because there was no lines and the weather was perfect! Best PTO day we ever spent!

Pumpkin Painting

Instead of carving pumpkins this year, I let the girls paint their own. They picked out their own pumpkins from the patch. Now it was time to let their creativity show!

Aubrey having a blast!

Serious artist!

Lots of colors

Working on her flowers

A little color on the lips never hurt anyone...



Finished product!







 

I did not get Ava's finished product as she had gotten in trouble.....it was fun while it lasted!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Gigi and I headed out to the Dallas Aurboretum for a fun pumpkin patch day with the girls! The girls picked out their pumpkins, played in the houses and fed the coy. Much to our surprise, the sweet Francis' girls were there with their school! So time spent with Lanie and AC added to the fun day! AC loved picking up Aubrey and Aubrey loved hugging and kissing Lanie. There were lots of wonderful pics from the day! So glad Gigi could come with us and doing something fun together!

Sun in their eyes, but still beautiful!

Lots of picking up Aubrey from AC.....they both loved it!

Ava is such a Gigi's girl!

BFF's for the day!

Feeding the coy fish!

Not the best pic, but we never get family pics so I have to post it!

Always doing what Sissy is doing!

Sweetness

More Sweetness!
