Good Job Daddy!

Chris went down south this weekend to go deer hunting. He called me Sunday night to tell me he got one but he wasn't sure how to tell me how big it was.
One side is a good four point and the other well it has three points but they are tiny! We think it must have broke off when he was young and just kept trying to grow along with the other side. Chris calls it his mutant freak :)
The girls were going to go down and stay with their Grandma Taylor while Chris was hunting, but they both got really sick so they had to stay home with me. Chris's Mom sent home a Halloween package for the girls because she didn't get to see them. It was so cute it had these funny glasses which the girls loved and some little jumping monsters that kept them entertained for hours!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Taylor for all the fun things we love them!
I love Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

I love this time of year!!! We were headed up to AF Canyon to see the leaves, but we passed this really cute little pumpkin patch on the side of the road. So we forgot the canyon idea and went with the pumpkin one :)

Myla told us that she wanted a baby pumpkin not a big one. She really got into looking for just the right baby pumpkin.
Ava liked the pumpkins for a few minutes until she found the chickens that were running lose! She kept trying to pet them and I think she could have grabbed them a couple of times if I hadn't stopped her.

After the girls had enough of chasing the poor chickens we went to JCW's for dinner where Ava was flirting with every little guy her age and drank about two gallons of fry sauce. Myla kept pretending that she had to go potty so she could go and play with their soap dispenser in the bathroom. After dinner we headed up to Cabella's to see the animals and fish. The girls love it there. It turned out to be a pretty good night :)

Growing Up

I have been horrible at blogging this summer! I have so many pictures that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed to try to catch up. I had to blog about this though Miss Myla went to her first day of Preschool last week!
She was so excited! The night before when I was putting her to bed I told her when she woke up in the morning she could go to school. Big mistake, she came out of her bedroom about 15 times saying, "Mom, I am AWAKE!" She finally fell asleep around 11:30 and woke up the next morning just as excited!

I wondered how Ava would do without her big sister to play with. Ava looked around for her for awhile and soon found out that she could play with all of Myla's toys with out a fight :) She loved it!Myla loves school and begs me to go every morning. I wonder how long that will last?

Today Myla also had her first day of dance class!

( Don't mind the huge bruise on her nose. The wall and her face had a bit of a disagreement the other day!)

Of course she loved her class! She may have loved it a little bit too much because she could not take her eyes off of herself in the mirrors and pretty much did her own thing. Oh well she looked really cute doing it!

Mayfield Days

We took the girls down to my Grandparents house down in Mayfield to be in their little town 24Th of July parade.

We stuck both of the kids on the buggy to throw candy, so Chris and I got to watch the parade kid free!!! It was great.

*WARNING*

If you are scared of clowns close your eyes through these next two pictures. These clowns just might be the two scariest I have ever seen !!!!!!!

Little Miss Ava Jean giving you her best cheese face :)

My niece Cambrie, Myla and Ava

Our two little red heads in the family!!!

It turned out to be a great time. We had a hot dog roast after the parade then headed down to the town park for games!!! I love the 24th of July!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Cullimore for the fun time!

Steel Days Car Cruise

We took the girls over to the American Fork Steel Days car cruise the other night. We had one little girl who loved it and the other one hated it!!!!

Ava couldn't get enough of the cars and she would laugh when they revved up their engines and just wave at them as they went by.

Myla had the exact opposite reaction...


As soon as we sat down she started pulling this little face and when the cars revved up their engines she started bawling hysterically!!! We made it for about 15 min before we had to leave because she was crying so hard that she was shaking.

It is so funny how different my girls little personalities are!!! The older they get the more different they become. You never know which one will have fun and which one will end up bawling their little eyes out :)

Welcome to the Family

Chris's little brother Patrick is getting married next month and they asked me to take their engagement pictures. I warned them that I had never taken pictures of adults before and that they might not turn out. They still wanted me to take them and it turned out to be way easier than I thought. Adults stay where you put them, don't cry, don't scream, and know how to smile at the right time. These are a few of my favorites:

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY MANDY :)
