WOW...... Avery is getting so big!

Well you never notice how big your baby is until you bring another baby is the mix!
Ashlyn is so tiny and to see her next to Avery...........
......... I realize how big Avery really is!
Avery isn't our baby anymore! But she will always be our princess!
Jenny did you notice the pj's? They are getting too small but she still will carry them around and cry until we put them on her! She absolutely loves them and we could not thank you enough!

Happy Birthday Marta

We attended our first mexican birthday party! Marta is a lady that is in the bible study that Darin helps lead some on Tuesday nights. The kids and I usually don't get to go because it doesn't start until 9pm. Plus it is a school night for Cooper. However, we did make it to this one to help celebrate Marta's birthday.
Here is Marta and her husband Enrique.
Here are some of the people that attend the bible study. Which for some of them it is their church because they have to work on Sundays.
Here are some more. The girl in the white is expecting twins. I am so excited to have a shower for her and be a part of TWINS! I can't wait to meet them. Due in January.
We got home around 10:30 or 11 and Avery was wired. She had a tamale with some cake and fresca to go along with it. She was so stimulated that she even danced on the table. Is was so worth being part of celebrating Marta's life!
Happy Birthday Marta! We love you!

Please Come Home Daddy........

Avery was so upset about Daddy leaving that she insisted to wait on him.
She waited so long that she fell asleep.
She is such a Daddy's girl and he really hates that ;)

Cooper's Baby.......

Cooper believes that Avery is his own personal baby doll. He likes to put her in the baby doll stroller and push her around. She seems to enjoy it as well. Here they decided to take a break and watch a little bit of a cartoon together.
I believe Avery believes she is a princess and enjoys Cooper pushing her around everywhere. I mean, to the kitchen to get her drink, outside to see the birds and then to the step to watch a little tv.
She is our princess and Cooper's baby doll.
We love these crazy two kids, especially when they can play together. NICELY!

Queremos Halloween.......

Well we started out Trick-Or-Treat day by going to the doctor. This is Dr. Laura Gaeta that delivered our little Ashlyn. After I visited the doctor then the girls had to go to the doctor as well. Avery now weighs 20 pounds and Ashlyn was still at her birth weight of 6 pounds. We didn't take any pictures there because we were listening very hard to the doctor and having to watch little Avery get two shots. One in each leg. She was such a trooper though because she didn't even cry.
After our exciting morning we were able to watch the UT verses South Carolina game with Uncle Derick, Aunt Heidi, Jackson and Alexis via skype.
Avery was excited for a TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!
After eating supper it was nothing but excitement to do their first trick-or-treating. We usually don't do it but we wanted to go out and meet some people in our neighborhood. As soon as we heard "queremos Halloween" we knew the kids were there and it was time to get dressed and go out ourselves!
Here is the most adorable Batman with the prettiest little eyes!
Trying to get a picture of them together is always comical and somewhat frustrating. I don't remember the last time we had a really good picture of them both! The always laugh at each other!
Here is our little pink poodle! She liked the outfit at first and even tried to play the part.
Then she started slowly getting over it. And we hadn't even left the house yet.
We didn't get any pictures out on the street because Avery fell asleep on the second street and I had to carry her the entire way. Darin stayed in with Ashlyn so it was me with a sleeping pink poodle, a wild Batman and tons of mexican kids screaming at the top of their lungs!
QUEREMOS HALLOWEEN! (We want Halloween-translation is for you mom :)
Ashlyn was also knocked out when we got home.
Our precious pink poodle!
Batman is still wired and ready to dig in the candy!
Pink Poodle woke up........
And had a bit of an itch............
Then she noticed that she was still a poodle and wasn't very happy about it!
But then she was satisfied with a sucker. One of her favorite candies.
Here are a few things handed out. Some pork rind tasting things and some spicy chips. There were also suckers with chili powder on it and mostly everything spicy. Except the marshmallows. Cooper decided he like the candy we were handing out best. I think we were the only ones handing out chocolate. We were also handing out some gum which is Cooper's favorite.
Ashlyn also decided to wake up and join some of the fun and laughter about the hot candy! Cooper does try it and it always makes the entire family laugh!
I had a great night with my little pink poodle and Batman!
Thank you for always bringing laughter!
Also thanks Darin for watching our little sweet Ashlyn!
