November 2011 Family Pictures

We had one of Kevin's friends do our family photo session this year, and he did a FABULOUS job!  We just wanted him to capture Ashley being her adorable, yet newly sassy self at 3 and we also wanted some shots of us as a family just laughing and having fun as usual!

Here is an awesome video with music I put together of our photo shoot!

Thanksgiving 2011

We are beyond blessed and have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!  Kev has a phenomenal job which he loves!  He continues to learn new things, and works with some great people!  We are all so healthy and happy.  We have a safe and adorable home, and we are surrounded with amazing friends and family!  God has blessed us so much and continues to do so on a daily basis, we couldn't be more thankful!

Ashley has already grown so much in her "faith" and her desire to pray and talk to Jesus makes our hearts melt!  She loves to go to church to sing, pray and she loves going forward for communion (or her blessing)!  I can't express enough how much this kiddo LOVES to pray and we couldn't be more proud of her.  She is adorable when she lists all her friends/family that she loves and is so thankful for, it is obvious her heart is in the right place!  It seriously brings a smile to my face when we are on a bike ride or a walk around the neighborhood, and I make a comment about how beautiful the day is; Ashley chimes in with "Thank You Jesus, for such a pretty day!"  :)  What a blessing she is!

Overall we had a very low key, but amazing Thanksgiving this year!  Here are some pictures of our day!

Her shirt is exactly right. . .beyond Thankful for her! :)

Her tights had an adorable bear on the butt, she was so proud!   hahaha

Oh' here comes some sass! :)  

Yummy turkey dinner!

Halloween 2011

Ashley LOVES arts and crafts and I try to do as many fun "holiday" type projects as I can!  She is so into different types of paints and she is a pro with glue, so we have had all kinds of fun trying out some new crafts!

So excited to paint her pumpkin

Cute video of our little Bug-a-Boo hard at work painting her pumpkin. . .this is the adorable yet serious face we LOVE!

Showing off her pumpkin lights out front!

We went to a local pumpkin festival and had a blast taking pictures and picking out "the prettiest" pumpkin!

Her gorgeous hair has gotten so long, and she loves to have it curled!  

Playing 'puter and waiting for Daddy to get home from work, to go to the pumpkin patch!  

Anxious to dive in. . .

So grossed out and looking for a wipe!  

Pure disgust! hahaha

Here is a video we think is hilarious!  We got home and she was so anxious to help Daddy clean it out, but that didn't last long!  She sat by Daddy's side, but she was so grossed out by the sticky seed mess, that she wasn't the best pumpkin cleaner this year! hahaha

So proud of her pumpkin, and yes, she is wearing Christmas pj's! :) That's what happens when you tell them to pick out their pj's for the night! hahaha

We went around our neighborhood this year for Halloween and Ashley did great!  She had a blast going door to door but she had even more fun passing out candy from our door!  She loved looking at all the kiddos outfits when she'd open the door!

Oktoberfest Fun

We had another amazing night of fun with friends at a Glendale Oktoberfest!  We had lots of German beer, brats, and amazing pretzels!  Looking forward to next years fun!
