Boo!

We are ready for Halloween at our house! The decorations, costumes, and even candy to hand out. I've noticed that people in Arizona love to decorate their yards & houses for Halloween. It does make it easier when you have nice weather and no chance of snow. Eli & Ava love to see all the witches, ghosts, spider webs, pumpkins, lights, etc. And we have been taking full advantage of the cooler weather this week. It finally feels like fall! A week or so ago Kelsey did a Halloween photo shoot that was so much fun. Here are the kids as Tinkerbell & a pirate.

Little Miss

I'm a little late on posting Ava's 18 month info, but she is just like her brother. In the 99% on height and 25-50% on weight. She is such a girl with her obsession of shoes & dressing up. She will try to put on any shoes--mine, Eli's, Kaelub's, or her own. Ava also loves her babies and tries to change them. She's also going through the "I don't want to wear my diaper" phase. I have to put her in onesies when she goes down for her nap. One too many dirty diaper clean-ups! She is always giving hugs and kisses and trying to keep up with her brother.

September Zoo Trip

Kelsey invited us to go with them and meet some of our friends at the zoo a few weeks ago. We thought it would be fun for the kids, and it was even with the heat. Luckily we took their swimming suits so they could cool off before we left! Ava loved looking at all the animals. Eli said his favorite was the zeebra.
