Our Orlando Trip

**Disney World**

Since our trip was quick and so Papa could go with us, we decided to go to "Mickey's not so Spooky Halloween" Party. Ava was super excited and got all dressed up in her witch outfit. Sweet B wore his Mickey Mouse shirt and gingham pants since it was too hot for his regular Halloween costume. We first headed to Downtown Disney and ate at the Dinosaur Cafe. It was a great place and both Ava & Bennett loved it.

We then headed to the Magic Kingdom for the real fun to begin!Getting ready for the parade to start! A quick pic with Eeyore and Pooh in their costumes too!We got to ride all the rides...Small World, Teacups, Dumbo, Pirates of the Caribean....and the list goes on. We also got to watch a firework show...right above our heads!

Ava loved the dance party's with all the characters. She especially loved dancing with Daisy Duck.

Needless to say by the time we left (Midnight) we were all exhausted. We loved it and would definitely go back. Going at night was a unique experience, but was a little difficult to get good nightime pictures.


The next day we met Ashley and Rob at Downtown Disney again for dinner. It was so great seeing them!

We owe a big Thank you to Mimi ans Papa for such a magical trip...and we can't wait to head back soon!

Sweet "B" turns 5 months!

Time continues to fly and Bennett continues to grow! His personality continues to come out more and more every day. He is the happiest baby and so easy going. The only time he gets worked up is meal-time or if he is over tired. He loves to eat his rice cereal, sweet potatoes and squash. He wasn't too fond of bananas so we'll have to try those again in the future. Recently if you are eating in front of him he opens and shuts his mouth and looks at you like..."hey don't forget me!"

Striking a "sexy" pose
He has a smile that melts my heart and is IN LOVE with his sister. They are such great friends and she is the biggest helper. He sits up on his own, loves to play with his toys and just like his sister talks up a storm. He also has started working on his first tooth.

While there are so many similarities between him and Ava...they are so very different as well. He is not an idle baby! Ava would just sit and play and entertain herself for hours....Him not so much. He is so physical and loves to explore, grab, pull you name it. We never had to "baby proof" the house with Ava...but this won't hold true for this little rascal. Life will sure be interesting when he gets mobile.

We've had a fun and very busy month.
Here are a few highlights.

At Ava's soccer game...BRR it was cold!

Once again...his sister found him some interesting hats to try on... 1st a baby bonnet, then he was a scarecrow.

Fall Festivities

Fall is one of our favorite as well as busiest times of year. This year it is extra special as we have two sweet pumpkins to celebrate it with. We waited for the perfect fall weather to arrive and headed to one of our favorite farms...Southern Belle Farms in McDonough. After a brief fit...Ava finally simmered down so we could get some pictures. She picked out a baby pumpkin then we decided on a nice big one for Ava & Bennett to share. Here are some pictures from our chilly day.

The next weekend, while Uncle Chris came for a visit we decided to carve our pumpkin. Daddy wanted to get all "fancy" this year, so he and Ava picked out a nice complicated cat to carve. 3 hours later and a very sore back...we had a finished product. It turned out great if I must say so myself.

Oh and now that the holidays are approaching there are so many fun opportunities to dress them alike. Here are my sweet pumpkins in their Halloween Pj's.
