Ava & Harper visit

Ava and Harper drove up Friday to spend the weekend with us.

We had Ellie so we all headed to town for speed shopping and lunch.

Ellie was so good at Applebee's. We

gave her a menu to look at - not realizing it was the alcohol one, oops.

The only picture I took of the three of them.

Saturday morning, we went to the Harvest Fair in Longview. 

 Ava had a tarot card reading, we also bought some gourds to paint.

Then we went to Josie's(#3) soccer game, they won!

Hattie was funny to watch.

A cousin hug afterwards.

Checking out the best part of the game-the treat bag!

Did some Halloween decorating when we got home.

Then painted our gourds.

Ellie came over this morning and showed off her walking

and riding skills.

Headed back home, such a fun weekend.

 

Josie

Josie came over to visit on Saturday.  She did a craft and then we 

played Barbies.  She has the most creative imagination, coming up with

so many fun scenarios for the Barbies. 

I caught her with a smile!

But just one.

 

Friday with Ellie

Fridays are our favorite days because Ellie comes to stay with us.

We found this rocker for her, but she keeps trying to stand up on it.  

She's taking a step or two alone and pushing the walker all over the place.

Telling Papa to take her to the play fort.

Papa - living his best life.

Ellie can say "bubble" and is obsessed with them,

we've also heard her say "Mama" and "kitty".

 

Wren and Ellie

 Wednesday was our last visit with Wren before she left to stay with Craig's folks until Mom and Dad get back from their trip.

Ellie loves seeing her cousin.

 

Hattie, Wren & Ellie

Hattie stayed with us Monday morning, the first thing she asked to do was make cupcakes.

The girls loves cupcakes!

Des, Wren and Ellie met us at the play fort

for some fun with bubbles and getting messy in the sand box.

Wren and Ellie were headed for the bath tub when they left.

 

James' birthday

We helped James celebrate his 29th birthday at Alan and Vera's tonight.

Such a fun time with lots of delicious pizza, cake, pie, brownies and ice cream.

And a lot of laughs from funny stories shared by everyone.

Jordon and Jacob kept themselves entertained the whole time,

playing with remote control cars and trucks and playing games with Vera.

 

Ellie & Wrennie

We were lucky enough to have both Ellie and Wrennie on Friday

and today.

They're so cute together.

Hattie came over to play, they made some Halloween pictures, but Ellie likes crumpling paper best.

They're very busy girls.

Today I watched them at Alissa and Parker's.  Wrennie loved Ellie's slide and ball pit.

No rain today so I took them for a ride in their cars.

Wrennie was looking for kitties and bunnies.
