It's been a while...

Life, of course, has been busy. So it's been a while since I"ve had a chance to add any pictures.
Here are some of the girls. As much as they can fight, they can also be so cute when they do play together!

Halloween

Some pictures from Halloween. Hope still didn't want anything to do with her fairy costume, so she chose her swim suit again! They had fun, but were tired after a long weekend!

Trick-or-Treat

Heading to trick or treat at LSU... Hope decided that the super cute fairy costume was not for her and insisted on wearing her swim suit! (with the hat that she refused to wear this summer when we were out in the sun!)

2 years old!

Hope turned 2! last weekend. We decided not to have a big party, so we spent the day doing fun things.

Here are a few pics... the new baby/bed!

Icingless birthday cake (she doesn't like icing!)

New boots!

Going for a family walk!

Family

We rarely get the whole family in a picture... it seems like it's usually just the girls. But, we were headed to Addelyn's baptism so I figured it was a good opportunity to get some pics of all of us!

Homework

After doing homework at home tonight, I appreciate having time after school to do it before we pick up Hope. The top picture shows Hope getting ready to roll on Ava's page causing frustration and tears. Ava's book for the night (that she has for reading HW is appropriately titled "Little Sister" :) )

Hope

Here are two pictures Hudson took on his phone of Hope.
Swinging on a big girl swing! Although this picture doesn't show it, she was cracking up laughing while swinging!

Pockets: Earlier in the day the pockets held three bouncy balls, then she was mad at the pockets and wanted me to "take them off", finally, they made a good place to rest her hands while we were checking out Mimi and Jeff's House!

Time Flies

September: Life has been busy since going back to school. Unfortunatley, I haven't had a lot of time to do "fun" things, like take pictures for the blog! Here is one from this afternoon of the girls being silly. It's hard to believe that they have grown up so much in the last year. Ava just turned 6, and Hope will be 2 in a few short weeks!

End of the Summer

There just never seems to be enough time in the day to do everything I need to do. So, it's been a while since I've had a chance to post on the blog. The last post I attempted, ended up on mom's blog and I never got time to move it here! :) Anyway, here are some end of the summer fun shots.

Hope has discovered my shoes are fun to wear.
