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!
