Family Photos

I have met a another talented photographer. Her name is Jessica Downey. She offered to take pictures of our family and she did a great job!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Ava enjoyed being Snow White...again!

Yes, I know. Miss Katelyn did not have a costume. I'll do better next year.

She did look darn cute in her orange tutu though.

For the last 2 years we have gone to my sister, Michele's, house for a Halloween party & trick or treating. This year we were not able to join in on that fun. Ava was very upset she wouldn't be trick or treating with her cousin Megan. She got over it once the candy started rolling in.

The Perfect Pumpkin

It's picking pumpkin time!

Ava found her perfect pumpkin. She also picked one for Miss Katelyn.

{ isn't she just the cuttest 3 yr old? }

{ Paul couldn't convince Ava to pull the pumpkin guts out...Duh! }

Mickey's Magic Show!

Since Katelyn was born Paul and I haven't had the chance to do anything with just Ava. So last weekend the 3 of us went to see DISNEY'S MICKEY'S MAGIC SHOW. Ava, OK the 3 of us had a really good time. Ava got to see some of her favorite princesses and she got to see a little magic too. Can't wait to take her to Disney Land!

4 Months Old

Yikes...Katelyn is 4 months old!

Look at how big our baby girl is getting.

Katie is such a joy to have around. She is always full of smiles.

Katie has learned to roll over from her back to her tummy

& she is now eating cereal. Yippee!

Katie LOVES to watch her big sister dance around the room.

We just love you KATIE BEAR!

{WOW...crazy hair!}

Ava's Bird House

Ava loves going to pre-school. One week she learned about the letter B, birds & the color blue. Mrs. Lunt made each of the students a birdhouse out of old milk containers. Ava enjoyed putting up the bird house with her Daddy.{probably not something someone should do with 2 bad hips}

Volia!

Michigan

Before my maternity leave is over Paul and I took the girls to Michigan to visit his family and friends. The airplane ride there went from 4 hours to 6 very long hours. Our first plane had a faulty fuel sensor and we had to return and board a different plane. Fortunately, Miss Katie slept the entire time. Clearly God knows what I can and can't handle. Ava did really good too, especially since she didn't get a nap that day.

Paul's parents had a great BBQ at their house and they invited some of Paul's close friends. It was great to see everyone.

Pre-school

This year my little Ava started pre-school. Ava was so excited about going to school like her older cousins, of course her mind changed when we actually got there. Mrs. Lunt managed to calm Ava down and Ava had a wonderful 1st day.

Ava is going to pre-school with her cousin Grady. Poor Grady thinks Ava is going to always be with him. I promised him he would not have to go to his Senior Prom with his cousin!

Katelyn's Blessing

Paul and I had Katelyn blessed in the LDS church on July 4, 2010. The blessing was given by her Grandpa Duncan. After Katelyn's blessing we had a luncheon at our house. As usual we Duncan's showed our true inner dork and formed our own rock band.

Katelyn at 1 month

My sweet baby girl is a month old already. Why does time have to go by so fast? Miss Katie is so laid back. She lets her big sister yank on her arms and legs without letting out a peep and she has the most kissable cheeks. We all lover her so much and are very blessed to have her in our family.

Ava's 3 year pictures

So things have settled down...kinda...and I finally got Ava's 3 year pictures done...3 months later! I'm so lucky to have such an amazing, beautiful, sweet and crazy daughter.

Katelyn's Homecoming

Ava welcomed her baby sister home with a big hug & kiss. Ava was so excited to hold Katelyn.

This is Katelyn's bedroom. Her Aunt Miranda painted this picture on the wall. I'm lucky to have such a talented family.

KATIE HAS ARRIVED!!!!

Katelyn "Katie" Marie Prentis arrived early on June 6, 2010...

6:12am.

7 lbs 6 ozs

20.5 inches long

That's too many 6's if you ask me. I've checked...no horns yet! Maybe when she is 3.

Right now she is a perfect ANGEL!

39 weeks & 2 days

OK, still playing catch up.

This picture was taken right before Paul and I left for the hospital to be induced. My induction appointment was at 11pm. This should help explain the stylish hairdo!

Ava's 3rd Birthday Party!

Ok so it's been a REALLY long time since I posted anything, but in my defense I was pregnant and my mind was pretty much mush. Well...let's be honest, it still is!

~

My Princess Ava turned 3 on April 14th. We celebrated her birthday at Peter Piper Pizza & boy did she have a blast. She still talks about her birthday party.

Gramma & Grampa Duncan got her this Princess Cake. Ava had been looking at this cake for weeks. Everytime we went to the grocery store she wanted to stop & look at this cake. Needless to say, I had a hard time getting her to leave the store.

I can't believe my little girl is 3! Where has the time gone?
Paul & I are so lucky to have her in our lives & don't know what we would do without her!
