FLORIDA!!!!

Our attempt at a family pic!

Look at this water......

Love these faces!!

Maddox was very proud of this sand castle!!!  So was I, the best I have seen!!

Needless to say the ice cream nights were a hit!!

Ava did a lot of standing and trying to walk during this trip!

Maddox doing some cooking while waiting to go outside to swim!

Ava loved jumping in the water!

As always, we had the best time in Florida!!!!  My brother came down for a visit and both Ava and Maddox love their visits from Uncle!  The weather was perfect and it was so nice to have Ryan around for a full week and away form work!

HUBER'S FARM

WE had a great time picking pumpkins this year!!!  Just a little cold but we really enjoyed ourselves!

Ava is ONE!!!!

Ava's smash cake......she eventually loved it when I gave her a spoon!  She did not like the mess on her hands!

We love this little girl.....pure joy!

 Our attempt at a family shot, Ava wanted to feed Maddox!

Ava with the spoon and cake!!

Ava's gorgeous cake!  I had it made to match her party dress.  Maddox says to Ava, " Ava you look like a princess" I cried!

Chicago!!

Maddox playing at the aquarium!! He looks so big and handsome!

All of the cousins together after some swimming!!

They really enjoyed playing together, it was very sweet and makes me think about all of the times I played with my cousins during our trips to chicago every year!

Maddox and his pillow on the car ride!!

Maddox loved his dinner as well!!

We had a great time visiting with the family!  I wish we all lived closer and were able to do it more often.  The cousins played so well together and were all so nice to one another!  And they always make me feel so special.  Kristie hosted a delicious lunch spread at her new beautiful home and Aunt Sue introduced me to some delish new cheese and made me some trees!!!!  And Laura brought an art project to do with the kids and Maddox had a great time with her!!  Miss them so much already!

Small update!

Life with two is crazy busy but filled with comical and sweet moments!!!!
