Family Pics!

We had family pictures taken over Thanksgiving. They turned out REALLY good. Here are a few...

Last year...

As I was browsing for pictures of the girls this Halloween I found last years pics.





My little photophobe Madelynn would not get her picture without Baby Ava so I only got one of her as Barbie, the Island Princess. Of course she was sitting down and not looking at the camera.



My little Stinker!

Halloween

Aww the annual pumkin carving! As you can tell, I am in charge of the pictures...that is all. Ava was too tired, she didn't even make it to the first cut. She ate, she slept! Boy I can't wait until next year! Madelynn of course was having a happy, photogenic day. I take these when they come and almost blind her with the flash!









The finished product....what an artist!







When we took Madelynn to the Colts game, she insisted that I buy her a cheerleader outfit. So, of course being the rock that I am I said.....okay, but you have to wear it for Halloween. I know, how original? But, I am not very handy with a needle and thread! She agreed then insisted that Ava needed one too. Once again I buckled. Here are the results...

Colts Game

We took Madelynn to her first Colts game. She really had a great time. She liked the lights and music and even figured out to yell when everyone else did. We went shopping in the pro shop when she got bored and ate LOTS of pocorn. It was a lot of fun for Jason and I as well. The excitement on her face was priceless!

We also spent time at the fall festival at Madelynn's school. I am on the PTO so I spent much of the time setting up and tearing down. Here are some pics from that as well:

Beauty School

So Madelynn decided that she needed a haircut and chopped off her beautiful curls! This was so very tramatic to Mommy. She went to bed as usual, no problems or complaints. When I got her up the next morning I noticed she was somewhat different. I asked her who cut her hair and of couse she had no clue what I was talking about. I went to her room and looked under her bed and found a large clump of hair and a pair of safety scissors. I was mortified. After work I picked her up at the daycare and she immediately began crying because she didn't want me to tell Daddy that she cut her hair.
Oh well, I guess this is all in preparation for Ava. She is my wildchild! She will probably buzz cut her hair, the cat and the carpet!

The Most Beautiful Colts Fans Ever!

Here are my two beautiful babies in their matching Peyton Manning Jerseys. This was taken after the tragic loss by the Colts to the Bears. Die hards never pout!
Madelynn of course did not want to wear a jersey, even a pink one with sparkly number. Ava on the other hand was completely indifferent. As long as her clothes do not interfere with her getting that thumb in her mouth, all is well!
Jason went to the game and took a friend from work and I stayed home doing the Mommy things (baths, hair, jammies, and lovins).
Maybe I will make it to one this year...........
