Ponchos

This is a random picture, but I thought I would throw it in. This is Avery and Libby's new favorite hiding place.

My mom sent the girls this ponchos for the fall. So of course we had to take some pictures of them in them.

Jake's face is kind of scary in this picture, but the girls are smiling really good.

Trunk or Treat

Our ward had a trunk or treat on Tuesday night, so here are some pictures from it. Liberty dressed up as Cinderella, and Avery was a monkey. The above picture is of Avery enjoying her sucker.

Here is Libby playing some of games at the trunk or treat.

Here is Libby fishing and Avery trying to help.

Here are girls when we first arrived. Avery was scared of all the costumes.

Forgot one

Jake spent a lot of time carving feet onto the little pumpkin, so I guess I had better put it up for all to see. Of course my husband the Podiatrist carved feet onto a pumpkin instead of a face. Oh well, Libby thought it was cute.

Family Home Evening

A little late posting this, but here is our family home evening activity for the week. You guessed it we carved pumpkins. The girls loved it. Libby especially loved scooping out the guts of the pumpkins. We intentionally picked a pumpkin that the girls could fit it. Avery hated being in the pumpkin, but we were sort of able to bribe her with a doughnut to not cry for some pictures.

This is Libby making her scary face because the pumpkin has a scary face.

Avery enjoying her doughnut.

The girls scooping out the pumpkin. Look at Libby's face she loves it.

Avery almost standing up on the pumpkin before we carved it.

Pumpkin

I was taking pictures of Avery playing with the pumpkin, and Libby couldn't stand to not be a part of the photo shoot. So here she is being her normal cute self.

Avery playing on the pumpkin.

Avery trying to pick up the pumpkin, which probably weighs more than she does, but don't tell her.

Avery trying to stand on top of the pumpkin, just like she tries to do to everything.

Avery is nuts

Lately, Avery has needed to climb on top of everything. She also likes to jump off things too, luckily not the kitchen table though.

I was on talking to my brother on the phone and turned around to this (above pic). I wish I would have got a video, because she was bopping along to the music on the TV, and just a few seconds later she was sticking her finger in her belly button. Now I know for sure this one is Jake's.

Fall is here

OK so fall has been here for awhile, but I am slow at putting up pictures. I love the tree in front of our apartment in the fall. It turns this gorgeous red color as you can see from the picture. Just thought I would share it.

The bottom picture is of Libby after she got done eating a lik-m-aid. (you know the candy you used to eat as a kid, with the sugar stick that you dipped in the colored sugar powder, man someone was really thinking with that much sugar).

More from Grandparent's visit

I took my parents and the kids to Kroll's Farm. Libby loved the baby goats, and surprisingly Avery was scared of them. Avery is scared of nothing, so it really surprised me when she ran from the baby goats, who weren't even half her size.

Avery was less than thrilled to stink her head in there.

The kids loved the pumpkins. Thanks Grandma and Papa for getting some little ones for the kids to carry around the house. I keep trying to decorate with them, and Libby keeps taking them down and playing with them. Oh well, I guess they were really for her anyway.

Everybody on the pumpkin train.

A visit from Grandma and Papa

Thanks to the library passes, I was able to take my parents to the botanic gardens. It is quite beautiful, I definitely recommend it as a place to see.

Here are the grandparents and the kids coming off spider island. (no real spiders on the island, thank heavens).

Avery playing with the pumpkins, that were bigger than her.

Papa and Libby playing in the fountains. Libby really wanted to going swimming in all the fountains. She kept asking me if she could put her "suit" on. (swimming suit that is)

Avery was quite a pill to get to look at the camera.
