A Day With A Friend

I was able to get some holiday shopping done with a friend this week when Evan stayed home with Aubrey and one of her besties Olivia!

I love this picture! Evan was quick on his feet when he gave Olivia Aubrey's chair and then provided for our child with a seat at the table for their lunch! ;D

The girls sharing a seat as they play with our letters...

The girls also shared a picnic...

TOO CUTE!

The girls also didi a few puzzles together...

The girls also played with some fun cars and a track!

A Day With Dad!

I am so thankful for the time Evan spends with Aubrey!

We have had a very busy past couple of weeks and Evan decided he would take Aubrey out for the morning a few weekends ago in order to get in some quality time!

They walked to a nearby park and lake area...

I was DEFINITELY not around for this and just looking at it freaks me out!!

I thank the Lord for an active and caring husband!! He is a true blessing to our family!

A Stay In Michigan

We stayed at a friends house in Michigan over Halloween weekend.

Evan was on a retreat with one of his closest friends A.J. and I stayed with A.J's wife Sarah and their kids. Everyone had a great time playing together!!

We really wish we could get the kids together more often and every time we leave we wish home were a little closer!

It is a wonderful gift to share trials and great times with close friends!

Kaitlyn and Aubrey sharing a book in the morning!

The boys were home in time for bedtime each night and Evan was happy to play...

The kiddos having lollipops and enjoying Elmo...

Aubrey adored Kaitlyns bed and pulled up stuffed animals and books before diving in!

Pumpkin Fun

We enjoyed cutting a few pumpkins open with Aubrey a few days after Halloween...

She smelled the inside....

She felt it and tasted a few seeds....

Aubrey helped draw our face for the Jack-O-Lantern...

and she enjoyed decorating her own little pumpkin!

When sge recieved her little pumpkin she requested to do everything with it...

she and the pumpkin are watching a movie...

she also carried the pumpkin around the living room while she played! :D

HaAPPY HALLOWEEN!

It was our second Halloween, but the first REAL Halloween!

A friend found this costume for Aubrey and said it was PERFECT, I agree!!

Aubrey is a little stinker.... and she is all mine!

She kept calling herself a skunk and was very happy to dress up!

We went to my brother's house; as is the tradition.

The kids were very excited to get going so we left after a few pictures!!

Eli (4... soon) was from the Incredibles

Aubrey (2... soon) was a stinker!

Norah (6) was a character from Filius and Ferb.

Amelia (3 soon) was the platypus from Felius and Ferb.

Sarah (1) was a turtle.

Evan looked like he had an army of trick-or-treaters!

I just thought this was ADORABLE!

She had the lollipop out as soon as it hit the bucket :D

We had a great time with the kids and a wonderful party afterwards!

Aubrey was screaming TRICK-OR-TREAT by the second house and near the end she was requesting lollipops at each house.
