The Dover's Annual Halloween Party!

We went to the Dover's annual Halloween party and had a blast! Bernie and I decided to go as a couple from the 80's...I know not very original but so easy!  It took one short trip to Forever 21 and I was all set! I am guessing if any current high school student saw me they would have no idea I was even in costume. My friend Jenn had the same idea and came as the girl from Flash dance! There were some pretty funny costumes...and a great night out with friends.

Pumpkin Carving

Ella was actually able to take part in pumpkin carving this year as she was pulling out the seeds she said, " yuck pumpkin crap!" Clearly mom needs to watch her words! Opps!

 Ashley supervised the whole event!

 My haunted house! It tunred out better than I expected :)

Fall Fun Days

We took the girls to Fall Fun Days at the U.P. Fire Station this past weekend. It was quite an event with popcorn, face painting, pony rides, a petting zoo and a pumpkin patch. All of the kids were in costume including our two princesses.

Jesus Loves Me!

Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch

We headed to Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch today and enjoyed the perfect fall weather! Ella was excited about the tractor ride and picking out her pumpkin this year. Bernie and I can't get over the fact that last year at this time Ella was barely walking...wow what a difference a year makes. We went through the corn maze (Bernie was not a fan), looked at the animals and picked out some great pumpkins. I am so looking forward to the holiday season this year!

This is how Ella does slides these days!

Ashley's Six Month Pictures

Six Months Old

My little Ashley Mae is six months old and I know I say it over and over but seriously where does the time go? She is getting to be such a big girl. She is now 15lbs and 12oz (still a peanut), she is sitting up now for a few minutes at a time, eating baby food, she grabs everything she can get her hands on and rolls all over the place is she wants something bad enough! Her personality comes out more and more everyday and I have to say she is a little demanding but with a face like this I can't help but give her anything that she wants!

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!

Twinkle Toes

My brother and sister-in-law went to Disneyland a few months back and brought back presents for the girls. I have been waiting for Ashley to fit into this outfit that they got her. I don't think the pictures do it justice...the ruffle butt is adorable! Anyway I dressed Ashley up and busted out the camera, although once she found the bow the photo shoot was over...she was mesmerized!

Sisterly Love

Ella loves to hold her sister for pictures...now if only I could get her to open her eyes!

Birthday Fun

Ella went to her buddy Taylor's birthday party this weekend at Play-a-Latte a fabulous place in Gig Harbor. These two are so cute together, Taylor calls her El-la-la! Seriously adorable!

Artist in the making

Ella is quite the finger painter these days

look at that technique...

she is a natural!

 Her final masterpiece

I couldn't love it more!

A Family Resemblance

These pictures below are of me when I was between one and two years old.

Look like anyone you know?

Here are some pictures of Ella between one and two years old!

And here is a look at Bernie and Ashley!

I guess no one can question who the parents are of these little girls!
