Santa

I tried to take Aubrey to see Santa at Silver Dollar City about a month ago, but she wouldn't have anything to do with him. Yesterday I took her to Bass Pro and she kept saying 'how excited!' she was. I'm very happy with the picture she took!!! The line was very long, but luckily the nice people at Bass Pro got me a chair to sit in, otherwise I would have been standing for 2 hours--- not good for a pregnant woman due in 5 weeks!!! Pictures of Asher to come soon.....

New School Pictures

Happy Fall Y'All!!!

We had fun taking pictures one day after church a couple of weeks ago.

Come a little closer-- I have a secret to tell you!

She's getting so grown up.

Aubrey is learning how to use the computer and mouse.

Aubrey makes a wonderful Dorothy. Ah, another picture?!

Beautiful Dorothy!

2 Dorothys-- Aubrey and Hunter trick-or-treating at Spooktacular at the zoo. Lions, Tigers, and Bears- Oh My!!

The children's choir at church had a Halloween party-- making music shakers!

Getting ready to eat their cupcakes.

Yum!

At Neewollah, getting ready to watch the parade!

Family picture time!

Gathering round the window to watch the bands and floats with Milla and Jaden.

Later at the carnival riding the fish with Jaden.

Hunter's Birthday Party

A couple of weekends ago we went to a birthday party at the Discovery Center for one of Aubrey's best friends. The theme was The Wizard of Oz, Aubrey's favorite!!

We turned our backs for a couple of minutes and they were covered in Wizard of Oz stickers!

Cheesing it up while eating ice cream!

Aubrey is the silent observer type while watching others open presents. This girl is ready for HER birthday....too bad she still has 2 more months to wait!!

Let loose in the Discover Center!

We're off to see the Wizard.....

Aubrey is wearing her "Glenda" tiara!

Hunter and Aubrey holding hands, as always.

Let loose in the marketplace, these girls wrecked this "market"!!!!!!!!

Having too much fun....do we have to go?

Playing in the "eye".

They could have stayed there all day.

Football Season-- and we've got a cheerleader!

Victoria, Kaylei, and Aubrey at the tailgate party before the MSU football game. Aubrey's new thing is the cheesy smile, which you will see frequently in the following pictures!!!

The girls standing in line to go down the big blow-up slide. I was surprised Aubrey went over there without Brian and I. She waited patiently RIGHT BEHIND the girl in front of her. (Guess I need to teach her about personal space!)

She climbed up the ladder all by herself. I was impressed at her ability to climb the steps and hold on to the straps on the walls.

Sliding all the way down!!!! She went down it 7 times in a rowj!

Aubrey wasn't too sure about Boomer bear......

She did NOT want to take a family picture!

Yes, I am getting a belly. Here I am putting a tatoo on Aubrey's face--the first time ever!

The results!!!

Cheesy smile plus gum!

Aubrey lovd sitting with Melody and eating all her ice cream!! She loved to stand up and clap during the fight song...shown here.... that's Brian's hand...and no, he's not hitting her!

Devouring Jeff's popcorn......

All the girls........

Aubrey didn't have accidents for several days in a row, so for a reward we made a strawberry cake together and had a "birthday party" for Dora and her friends. Kaylei and Victoria came over to celebrate!!! Victoria said, "Thank you Aubrey for not having accidents!"

Reading to her babies...

Big cheesy grin.... I had just taken her hair out of double buns and it looked kind of curly....

"Dressing up" this is her skirt.....a bandana!
