just some cuteness...

One of my sweet clients (well I have been doing her hair for close to 10 years, so she is also a great friend) gave my kids this awesome little kitchen. It is now their favorite toy. Ava watches what I am doing and copies it! I love the age they are at, they are so much fun! Ava loves dress up, she always has some sort of accessory on...I love this smile!!! Noah's favorite thing lately are these cookies I bought them...they are alphabet and he pulls one out and says "the letter _! Cool, look mom!" He can do this for hours literally. After he gets the letter out, he sings a song that says that letter! The weird thing is that he doesn't eat them, Ive seen him take a bite or too and then just put it back in! So if you come over and I offer you some letter cookies, don't eat them!

Sledding!

Today we had so much fun....Bradley, Jeff and I took the kids sledding for the first time...they both totally loved it. Although Noah kept asking to go swimming, and to splash in the water! I think he got the inter tube confused. They both asked to go again as soon as the got down the hill!Noah loved this little red sled. It didn't slide very well, but he liked just sitting in it, and being pulled... Noah wanted to "wear uncle bwadley's glasses"

Ava's 2nd birthday!!!

I ordered this dress of etsy.com...it's one of my favorite places to shop. It came about a week ago,I let her try it on and she has been asking to wear her "berfday dress" every day since!Ava's new favorite character is Dora...and she loves dress up!Uncle Brad and AvaHaHaHa, HeHeHe I got to the cake first!!Ava and Daddy...her favorite person in the world right now...Cheesy grinAunt "mannie" and AvaGrandma, Ava and Nanapainted piggies!She got this doll house from Grandpa Rock, and she played with it longer than I have ever seen her play with a toy!Ava's new car I remember my mom saying "I hope you get a kid that acts just like you" well I did, she allready learned the eye roll...im in for it

Go Noah Go!

Jeff recorded this on our walk this afternoon, it has been so nice we have been going on walks when he gets home from work...today Noah used his walker and walked farther then he ever has...good job little man!!

sleepy sissy

This is how my daughter fell alseep last night, luckily daddy had his phone to capture the moment:)

oh rewards!

We had an apt with a spacticity team for Noah last week, and we decided to do more botox/phenol injections in his legs and arms...they couldn't fit us in until January, so we are just waiting until then. Noah did so great, he even asked the doctor for hugs the entire time...he just melts every ones heart! Noah's new favorite treat in the hospital is a push pop, so we make sure he gets one every time we have to visit that awful place;) Here he is trying to touch it with lefty!

a warm day out

This was our halloween, we took the kids to wheeler farm! We don't trick or treat....I'm not sure we ever will, I don't really like the idea of halloween, so we do harvest instead, it's not near as scary, and Ava appreciates that! We got to pet the animals, feed the ducks, and go on a hay ride! I love the photo below, both the kids were mesmerized the entire ride!

They loved playing with the dried leaves and sticks that were everywhere...How I miss the days when I was that amused and excited with dried leaves and sticks!

We took 6 shots of this, and it's sad ,but this was the best one!

Noah was being so independent, he was walking all along the fence line...but right after I took this picture, he fell backwards and hit his head on a rock...we left shortly after that, he was not happy, poor guy. He gets so excited to be a big boy, but then he always ends up getting hurt, it kills me to see him fall so much. I don't want to discourage him from being independent, yet I hate seeing him get hurt. It's a catch 22 all the time
