a halloween miracle!!!

Eden decided to start walking on Friday!

Halloween Part 3

Mrs. Takala getting ready for the trick-or-treaters! We held a "Frontyard Festival" at our house this year and had nachos for the adults and candy for the kiddos. It was great!

David, Lucas (looking scary with his knife!) and TJ (the neighbor) carving pumpkins.

Eden went to bed at 7pm but the music woke her up so she came outside and enjoyed some nachos :)

Jennifer, Lucas, Ella, me, Eden and Aunt Ashley

Halloween Part 2

Kyla was in town and we only got to see Ava and Micah for like an hour....but that was long enough for Eden to fall IN LOVE with Micah!!

Seriously, it was hard to keep her at a safe distance! Guess she needs a baby sister or brother.....(somewhere David is cringing right now.)

Ella loved her too!

We miss you Kyla and are SO glad that we got to see you!!!

Halloween 2009

Eden is NOT happy to be out of bed :)

David left our frontyard festival and took Ella trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. So cute.

Ava and Ella

A ghost buster, a giraffe, a doctor and Nemo!

Memaw and Eden (so sweet!!!)

My little Nemo

lazy Sunday afternoon

The girls wanted to be outside yesterday so I asked Ella if she wanted to push Eden in her swing. Eden liked it so much that getting her OUT of the swing was a nightmare! I should have recorded that scene......

And yes, the safety latch is only half way on because it wouldn't fit around her precious little body and I couldn't figure out how to make it bigger! :)

The little gym

A friend of ours (Trace) turned 3 over the weekend and his birthday party was held at The Little Gym. The girls LOVED it!!!!

Ella's first attempt at the balance beam

This moment in time was actually pretty dang funny. The Little Gym instructor put a fun song on the radio and had everyone run around acting like animals...until the break in the song when you're supposed to lie on the floor and be as still as possible. Ella wanted NOTHING to do with it! She stood there (alone) for what seemed like hours!

Just chillin'

If you've been to The Little Gym before then you're familiar with the huge inflatable runway. I have no idea what the real name of it is, but I do know that Eden wouldn't stop screaming and throwing a fit until I let her get on it with all of the other big kids. I took her down it once thinking that would suffice.....yeah right!! I had to keep going back and forth until they took the thing down!



Getting ready to head home....

....and out!

As you can see, they had a blast! It was a really fun way to spend time with the girls on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks to Suzanne and Larry for inviting us!

Ella

I don't know what I want to eat for lunch.....so instead I shall spend my time posting a few pictures of my beautiful 2 year old that David took yesterday afternoon. :)

Doesn't she look so old in this picture??? Tear.
