Wow...3 months!!

I took Abby to have her 3 month portraits taken this week. She did such a great job, as you can tell!! She is smiling so much more now and even at the kids sometimes! She is beginning to focus on more objects and growing like a weed. i weighed her and she now weighs about 12 pounds. She is sleeping more at night and goes sometimes about 6 hours in between feedings at night. She goes 4 hours during the day. She is showing a little more personality and is it the cutest thing!!!

Starting school...

Mason started school today and was so excited. he stood outside and waited for the bus 30min early. Josh and I followed the bus to school so that we could take him to his class. It just felt a little weird putting him on the big yellow bus and sending him off. He came home and told us all about it. He can't wait to go back on Thursday!!

The WILD Huckabee kids....

This past weekend Abram got a real taste of the Huckabee kids. they were there normal self, jumping around and playing with lots of energy. Looking into the future...Christmas is going to be CRAZY!!!Abram and Abby

Poor babies they need lots of protection!!

My sweet Godson, Abram!!

Abram must have told Abby something funny!!

nap Time...in the Crib!!!

Abby is going on 3 months and thought we need to start putting her in the room with Ava. I laid her in her bed for a nap and she loved it. She has napped in there periodically but we have not yet tried the night time. Hopefully soon we will get her in there at night!!

Squeaky Shoes!!

When Aunt candy and my Mom went over China to get Halle they had bought her these squeaky shoes. Well, she wasn't able to fit into them and when Aunt Candy found out that I was pregnant with Ava she asked Halle if Ava could have them. I decided to try them on her feet to see if she would be able to wear them this fall and low and behold they do fit. Ava LOVES them. I am not to sure that Daddy loves them but they are great for not losing your child in a crowd somewhere.

Thanks again Aunt Candy and Halle for the squeaky shoes!!!

A Day in New Orleans...

We took a trip to New Orleans on Saturday since we really haven't done anything summer as a family. We first went to the Saints practice , then the Children's Museum, and then to the River Walk for lunch. It was a little hot but I think the kids had fun.

Mason and Ava sitting on the stands watching the Saints practice. Mason just loved that they were so close to him. Ava kept saying the whole way back to the car, " basetball fast"...in other words Football fast!!!

Mason checking his speed while throwing a baseball...about 15 MPH!!

Ava pulling really hard to get that "Gator" out!

Abby just relaxed and went with the flow. She was such a great baby to have with us!!

Twirling with the ribbons...look at that she is doing a "pl'eat"! I guess that is how you spell it...like in Ballet

Pulling a BIG bubble around themselves!

Shopping in the pretend grocery store

Ava just loved shopping in the grocery store..can't you tell!!

She is going to be a cashier just like her mommy. My first job was a cashier at Kroger.

Mason watching the Mr. Rogers trolley go back and forth...I think he should have stayed there forever.

Josh and Mason putting on a puppet show.

Watching how to make fudge at the River Walk
We had to leave a little early because Mason started breaking out in hives...Poor thing...he was miserable!!

If only these worked!!

Every since Mason could walk he would mow right along with Josh. Now Ava has taken interst in it al well. So I caught them the other day all three outside moving. It was the cutest thing. Only if they worked we would be in business!!!

Ava got grass in her shoes so she had to take them off and wipe out her shoes
