Our Month of October:
Our cute puppies
Kennedy. I told Mallory, Kennedy NEEDS a puppy.
So, one night I lost my ring. I took it off and was trying to get some stuff off of it. I dropped it, heard one 'ping' and it was gone. I could not find it anywhere!!!! I checked the toilet, the garbage, my clothes...everything. I looked for hours. I was so sad! The next morning I looked, couldn't find it. Kev ended up coming home from work in the morning to take apart our cabinet. THANKFULLY he found it! There is like a 1/4 inch between the wood and the cabinet and it somehow jumped over it. So stupid!!!!
Getting ready for family pictures
Ava LOVES these puppies! Unfortunately she's not always the softest.
We went and watched Maddy play volleyball. Maddy's boyfriend, Spencer, was there and Ryker hung out with him for a bit.
Making a Ghost with Lilly
Definitely her Father's daughter - loves cereal.
Maddy had Ryker help her ask Spencer to a dance. When they opened the door, Ryker was there holding the sign and yelled BOO! He thought it was pretty cool.
Finished product! I LOVE it! Kev did such a good job on the tables. Then my mom took me birthday shopping for the decorations on the shelves.
Ryker made this at preschool. He thought it was the coolest thing every! And so scary!
We went to U-pick with Mallory and Kennedy. Mark, Carter, and Zachary ended up being there too. It was a lot of fun!
Maddy, Spencer, and Brooke came over to see the puppies. But Ryker suckered them into playing with him. He just loves all the attention.
Playing tennis
Ava's 2nd ponytail. 1st one that made it into public haha. I love the hairstyles that hairstyles that happen when you take it out!!!
She always puts her legs over the side of her carseat
Pig Tails!
We had a Halloween dinner with the Cooks and then painted pumpkins.
We got this free pink pumpkin basket from TMobile. Ava did not let go of it all day.
We went to a corn maze with the Kundes (Josh, Katie, Amelia, Elizabeth, and Annalise). It was cold but fun!
This is the smile I get when I say "No" and she does it again.
Reading with Grandma Albaugh
Preschool Halloween party (missing Jaxson)
(Upper right) Look at his concentrated face
We went to Grandma Cook's Trunk or Treat. It was freezing! They got lots of candy though! Ava didn't really get the concept. She would hold onto the candy. She would not let us put it in the bucket. Then when we got to the next person, she would try to hand her candy over in exchange for the candy they were handing out.
On Halloween we went to Keller Williams trick or treating in their building with Grandma Cook and Maddy.
Then we met up with all the Albaugh Cousins and went trick or treating around the neighborhood. They sprinted from house to house. Ryker was SO sweaty! Ava loved running around getting candy.
How Ava felt about her costume haha
and....Ava is 18 months old!
She has so much personality and sass. She is always expressing how she is feeling - lots of yelling, happy and mad/sad. Ryker makes her laugh the hardest...and cry the hardest haha She loves him. She loves playing cars, trying to scare people with dinosaurs, run around with Ryker. She loves all animals! She loves having shoes on. She doesn't say a ton of words but some of the words she can say are: 'Thank you", "shoe", "sock", "up", "water", "bottle", "stop", "mom", "dad", "grandma", "ball", "Catch", "puppies", "hi", "Bye". She blows kisses and when we ask for a hug, or a kiss, she will give us a kiss on our mouth. We love her!
Something I don't want to forget: Ryker and Ava LOVE to scream!!!! When we are driving in the car they like to yell back and forth at each other. It is so loud! And Kev and I just want to turn around and yell at them to be quite. But they are just to cute. They yell and then laugh at each other and yell and laugh. It's pretty cute.
