A little Rusty with the Blogging...

Well...I guess you know your rusty when you have a brain freeze on how to download pictures...has it been that long? Plenty has been going on with school, sports, dance, sick kids, holidays and just family life, but I don't seem to be a diligent student when it comes to blogging, I'm more of a "spurter" if you will, I go through spurts...maybe I'm about to hit one!


My little soccer star...I have to say my little Ava girl shocked all of us this season and came out on FIRE! She was a bit "carefree" last year so we weren't excepting the aggressive streak she came into...you go girl...oh and how about those uniforms...I love it!



This was a snapshot from our first outing out back to our fire-pit...we've been working on it for about two summers, and it looks like it will be a third before it's done, but hey it's usable!

Ella started her dancing career this fall...she has to be doing whatever Ava is doing. Last year it was all I could do to keep her out of the dance studio while we waited for Ava, so this year when she got to put on a leo and go to her own dance class, let's just say anyone who knows this little cat, knows she was in her element. She seriously doesn't stop smiling the entire time!


Alec seems to lean slightly to ghoulish side when it comes to Halloween, no super hero's or character costumes for him...so this is what we got...Skeletar, whoever that is!


So I'm feeling guilty that I've always sort of dictated what Ava is going to be for Halloween...she hasn't ever really put up a fight so each year I kind of just keep going for it. Well this year I found Little Red Riding Hood and just knew it was for her...she on the other hand busted Mom this year, she would tell everyone when they asked what she was going to be "well I'm being Little Red Riding Hood because my Mom is making me" oops...game over, but come on, how adorable!

Last of all our little Dorothy...she would wear anything as long as she can spin around in it and look "beuful" as only she can put it! As you can see the sparkley shoes were the highlight for her, oh and carrying around a dog in a bag, don't under estimate that!


The threesome just before the big Halloween party at Grandma Karen's...always a highlight of the month.
