Halloween 2010

The cutest giraffe ever!


Can we just kiss those pumpkin fairy cheeks over and over? Uh...YES!

Amazingly sat for this picture...How awesome is that?

Getting ready to leave...

Scoping out the goods...

Pumpkin Carving...

The reluctant carver...

The brave one...:)

Giggle machine...

I love moments like these....she was giggling uncontrollably..

Bath time fun...

Bath time fun...

Pumpkin Carving

Rylee painting her teeny pumpkin...they call them "spooklies"
I have no idea what she is pointing at...

Getting in on the fun of scooping out the pumpkin "mush"...Ava refused :)

The only way that we could get her to participate...

she didn't want to get her hands "all dirty"

Hmmmm...she might just be a product of her mama.

The finished pumpkin...that decayed quickly in the front of our house...HA!

Ava is 3!!!

Ava's birthday cake...she is quite the little lady isn't she?
Admiring her Dora Pj's

Sifting through the goods :)

The proud new owner of some more "Little People"!

Opening her B-Day present in September

from Grandma and Grandpa Garris

Ava's B-Day this year was quite special...as we thought back at such a full and awesome year with her. She is super tall, super beautiful, and super smart...we are indeed blessed beyond words. Abuela and Abuleo were in town to celebrate the actual day. We went to the zoo on Saturday, and took a trip to the local CiCi's pizza! (Her fav joint to eat :) Daddy's too!) She got some great gifts, books, CD's a new puppy, a "In-motion" game for the TV, some new "Little People" for the bath and a lego castle! Of course Dora Pj's and a new puzzle didn't hurt either! She got some jewelry and a new jewelry box from a friend...she is growing up way too fast for us...we hope she never stops cuddling with us and telling us how much she loves us...what a joy it is to have her in our lives!

Visitors...for over a month! So fun!

Grandpa with the girls at the Columbus Zoo...the grizzly is no joke!
Priceless!

Looking at the polar bear sisters...

Grandma went for miles back and forth searching for just the right

balloons...she is such a tender Grandma!

Making a yummy fruit pizza with Grandma and Grandpa...YUMMY!

Is Grandpa eating the icing, or spreading it? :)

The tongue would suggest eating!

Ava loves her Uncle Hunter...Rylee still needs some convincing :)

Ava misses him so...

Random shots that I failed to post up a long time ago...

Our cutie patooty...

Maybe a future "Miss Petite Puerto Rico?"

She puts on her own bling daily...love it!

The first dual bath time for the girls...

Doesn't she have the greatest legs ever?! She is super tall...just turned 3 and is in the 90% for her age. She is already taller than her Dad at this stage! YIKES!
