November

Our November:

 We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving. The drive there was alright. Ryker ended up getting car sick and throwing up twice! It was disgusting! We stayed in Monticello, ate some pizza, went swimming. Ryker did not want to stop, but the water was pretty chilly so Ava was in and out. 

Ava was just loved on the entire time! haha The little girls were so good with Ava and with Ryker.  

 So my grandparents have a couple of cats around their house and Ryker just loves them! Well I was taking a picture of him petting the cat and then the cat just attacked his face. It was kind of funny (I know, terrible mom). But the cat made like an "X" on his forehead, it was pretty bad.

 My Grandma was pretty brave and let all the kids do sugar cookies. Of course Ryker loved it!....he ate lots of cookie dough.

 Some of the cousins got my grandparents a balloon. Ryker was more excited about that then his actual toy haha. He was going crazy with it.

 Trying to do the hoover board.

 We loved our time in Arizona with all our family, but we were sure glad to get home!

 They loved their gifts from Grandma and Grandpa

 All the kids were so excited to help Grandpa Albaugh blow out the candles. 

Ava was sitting on the ball with her second (?) cousin, Averi.

I chopped off my hair

7 month old babies!

Clapping

Ava is 7 Months Old

 Ava is 7 months and just so dang cute! She is still just such a good, chill baby. She is starting to laugh more which I love! She is starting to move everywhere - but forward haha She is still doing her signature bobble head move, shaking her head side to side. She is all smiles all the time. LOVEs watching her brother. She LOVES peek-a-boo and will sometime do it herself. This last week, whenever I pick her up with her facing me she pushes me away so fast and tries to turn. She just wants to see what's all going on. The last couple of days she has started clapping and gets so excited when she does it. We just love this sweet girl.

 And Ryker is 31 months! haha He is in his TERRIBLE TWOS! It's been rough! He still does not sleep through the night. He is picking up so many words! He is always telling me "Good job mom!" like when we run into the store or when I'm doing the dishes. He is such a cute kid but the whole agency thing kind of sucks sometimes haha
