The Wedding #1

The girls were in Bobby and Erin's wedding this weekend. We had the rehearsal on Weds. night and the wedding was on Friday night. At the rehearsal, the girls practiced two times. The first time, Cat went first and dropped petals while Ava walked behind her, leaned down and placed her petal right next to Cat's. The second run through, Cat dropped her rose petals while Ava picked them up and put them in her basket! We were ready for anything the night of the wedding!

Kathleen bought the girls shirts that said "Flower Girl" for the rehearsal. We are at the salon ready to get our nails done.

Getting ready to walk down the aisle!

The girls did a great job! (The picture of Ava is very blurry!) I walked back to greet the girls as they made their way to the aisle. I found them arguing about who knows what! I sent Cat down but had to direct Ava as she began walking the opposite way. They were adorable and stood up with the wedding party the entire ceremony!

Walking out of the ceremony.

Family picture...maybe a Christmas card this year??

Look Mom...No Training Wheels!

Catalina finally threw away those training wheels!

Wedding....just a couple weeks away!

The girls just received their dresses for the wedding they will be in the day after Thanksgiving. They are getting their hair done and will be carrying baskets full of rose petals. They just may steal the show??!!

This picture was taken just before Ava put started putting stickers on her dress.

Halloween

The girls were princesses for Halloween. We had a party in our driveway again and invited family and friends.

Ariel and Cinderella

Gray carried the girls treat bags while he made his mom carry his. He loves his girls!

Cop and Jailbird

Ava is only wearing one shoe. They are new and light up. Her pinkie toe began to hurt...sometimes beauty causes a little pain Ava!

The Girl's First Music Program

The girl's were in their first music program at school. The preschool and kindergartners sang for a fall program. Ava cried until Catalina arrived and they put the girls together.

Ava spent most of her time singing with her back to the crowd. She would rather watch the other kids sing and I think it helped her remember the songs.

Todd was unable to attend but we have the whole program on video. It was adorable!

The Pumpkin Farm with Ava

Catalina brought Hoppy home from school to spend a couple of days with the Merrill's. The assignment was to play with Hoppy, take pictures of different activities and then write about the adventures! Here is Catalina doing handstands with Hoppy!

Ava and I went to the pumpkin farm last week. Catalina was in school and she already went there with her class. Ava loved the farm. We saw turkeys, pigs, cows, goats and a sheep. She walked through the hay maze, rode a hay ride pulled by a tractor and picked out her own pumpkin. The day was cold (60 degrees) for us Arizonians!

She makes a cute pig!

Ava picked out a "bloody eyeball" for Geramiah. Hope he likes it!
