Halloween

My sister and her boyfriend joined us for halloween (sorry no pics of them). The girls had a blast going out with all the neighborhood kids. We have so many kids in our neighborhood.

Pumpkin Patch

I have done a poor job of updating lately. Back in September we visited a local pumpkin patch to grab some pumpkins for the girls. They had a blast just running through the patch looking for the perfect pumpkin. They decided the ones in the patch were too big for them, so they picked from a bin of smaller more "their size" pumpkins.

Beach

In August we went to the beach with my family. We had a wonderful time. The weather was great and we only had 1 rainy day. It was a nice day to shop at the outlets. The girls had been talking about going to the beach since we got home last year so when the day finally came to leave they were excited. Enjoy the pictures.

Fishing with grandpa...

One morning at the beach my dad took all three kids fishing. It was quite and adventure, but they all thoroughly enjoyed it. They each had their own fishing pole. It was very windy so we didn't stay long and they didn't catch anything.

A long lost friend

The last week of July my dear friend Stephanie came to visit. We met in Minot when our husbands were working together. Actually, she was out here working and we were lucky enough to be able to squeeze in some time together. The last time she saw Ashton she had just turned 1 and she has never seen Aubreanna other than pictures. We had a wonderful time together and it was so great to see her. The girls enjoyed spending time with her. Unfortunately Kyle was out of town, but hopefully next time he will be around. If you are wondering who took the picture of the two of us, Ashton did. She actually did a great job.

Ashton swimming

Ashton has been doing extremely well swimming this year. I am so proud of her increasing confidence and ability. Hope you enjoy. The quality might be a little poor I took it with my phone.

Sisters

Occasionally if we are having trouble with the girls going to bed we will separate them and put Aubreanna in the guest room. Ashton does not like to sleep alone so she will sneak into the bed with Aubreanna. I took this picture the other morning and thought it was just too cute.

Water Fish!

We have been spending our days at either the pool or Six flags this summer. Ashton has always been very timid in the water, but this summer has really decided that she loves the water and I am so proud at how well she is doing. She taught herself how to go under water and is doing really well with it. Aubreanna was so adventurous last year and this year she is more timid. She still loves to be in the pool, but hates to go under water. I posted a video at the end. Ashton is the one in the goggles. Poor thing wore them all day long and had red circles around her eyes that hurt by the end of the day! Hopefully it goes through ok. Enjoy!

Ice Cream Truck

We have an ice cream truck that comes through the neighborhood every day. We only go once a week or every other week, but the girls love going to pick out their ice cream.

REALLY LATE!!!!!

Sorry guys it has taken so long to post again. I have been told I really need to update and it has just been crazy around here. We have had a busy summer and have been enjoying Six flags and the pool. Here are some pictures from April when we went to Kings Dominion. I have a ton of other pictures to post, however my camera battery is dead so it is charging. I will get those posted soon! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

It's Perfect

The other afternoon Ashton came down the steps wearing this dress. I have been cleaning out closets and going through their spring clothes so I have piles everywhere. This dress is a size 6-12 months so it is too small for either one. She told me that it fit her perfect, but it was too small for Aubreanna.

..........

Sorry for such a long delay in a post, but it has been a busy couple of months. We had a wonderful holiday season. The girls absolutely enjoyed christmas this year and that just made it so much more fun for us. We recently moved into a house on a different base about 30 miles up the road. We really like our new house. We finally have our own driveway with a garage. The girls love their new bigger bedroom and nice backyard. I will try and be much better about posting.
