Pumpkin's are carved!

We carved pumpkins today. Both of the girls really enjoyed helping us scoop out the guts. Then they had a shower while daddy cleaned up. After they were all cleaned up we carved the pumpkins. I carved Avalynn's and kevin carved Gabby's. The two little pumpkins the girls are holding are now pumpkin bread. YUM!

Psalm 18:2 
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Tick

I found a tick on my stomach today while showering! It really freaked me out! Kevin got it out with some tweezers. It looked like it had not been there long because it didn't have any blood in it yet. It really gave me the creeps. Almost as bad as a bat flying right by my face but not quite that bad. The spot where it was at looks bruised and red it hurts when my shirt rubs it. I think I either got it on me from the Animal land farm yesterday or when I laid in the leaves to get pictures taken! No more of either of those for a while!!!

Farmland animal park

We had a great time yesterday. Avalynn was so cute wanting to feed the ducks! Gabby told me when I put her to bed that her favorite animal was the horses. Gabby was a little afraid of the goats which is my fault because I am scared of them! A baby one tried to jump on me and I screamed a little. After that Gabby screamed when they would run up to us. They are very cute though! Here are some pictures.

The things kids say!

Last night right before bed time Gabby told me she wanted to go to bed. I told her that I would get her to bed in a few minutes and that I was waiting for Daddy to Text me back. She then pulls up her shirt and says "Mommy I want Daddy to check my back too!" 

Snow!

It is way too early in the year for this!

Pumpkin Farm

We went to the pumpkin farm today. It was really cold but we had a good time anyway. I got lost in the Corn maze but luckily my nephew Zack helped me find the way out! Here are some pics!

We've been busy

We have been so busy unpacking! We got our small shed and Kevin put it together. The apartment is looking so much better now! All I really have left to do is to get the girls bedroom organized. There is no clothes rod in the closet yet. They should be getting that up soon and then I can get everything put away in there. Everything is going well for us here. We all have a cold right now though. Last night and tonight I put the cool mist vaporizer on in the girls' bedroom. It really helps a lot!

Tomorrow my mom, Angela and I are going to a baby shower for my cousin Jody. It will be so nice to see some of the family again. It's been a while since I have seen some of them. Tomorrow is also my Mom's birthday.

Monday we are planning on going to the Pumpkin farm. I hope the weather is nice. It has been cool and rainy the past couple of days.

The girls and I have been coloring and drawing a lot. Gabby is really starting to talk so much now. She was drawing lines on a paper today and telling me who they were pictures of. Thursday she had her 30 month checkup. She has really hit a growth spurt! She weighs 31 pounds now and is 37 inches!!! That is 75% for both.

Avalynn is such a ball of energy! She NEVER holds still for even a second! She is climbing on everything and gets into lots of mischief! We really have to keep our eye on her all the time! Her sweet little dimples are so hard to resist though!

We don't have cable yet so we have been watching a lot of DVD's. Gabby and I watched Ice Age tonight. I Love that movie!

Moved in/ Doctor Visit with Gabby.

Writing this really quick from my parent's house. We rented a truck and got everything moved into the apartment. We had been storing a lot of things and I forgot how much stuff we have! The first night it was wall to wall boxes! We had a very narrow path through to get into each room but that was it. We have been spending pretty much every minute since then going through boxes and getting rid of some stuff. We have already donated about 10 big boxes of stuff. I got rid of three boxes of toys and two boxes of the kid's clothes, some of my own clothes and some of Kevin's. He has also got rid of some of his things. We still have a lot more boxes to go through. We bought a storage shed that is going to be delivered Monday afternoon along with our new washer and dryer.

This afternoon as we were getting ready to go to my mom's house Gabby told me that her nose hurt. I figured she must have bumped in and so I looked at it and realized there was a piece of really soft foam up her nose. It was partly sticking out so I got a pair of tweezers and was able to get it out. Then I asked Kevin to get me a flash light so I could see if I had gotten it all. I checked and saw what I thought was another really small piece. We tried to get it out but she was struggling and fighting us so bad. It was stuck up really far and I was afraid I was going to hurt her. We went to my mom's house and when we got there she tried to help get it out but was not able to either. I called her doctor and they got her right in. A nurse held her head, while I held her arms and the Doctor was able to get it out with some really long thin forcep type thing. The piece of foam was huge and I could not believe she stuck it up there! I hope Gabby learned her lesson and will never stick things up her nose again!!!
