6 months already?

On Sunday, Aubrey is going to be 6 months old. Where has the time gone? Time has flown by so fast, but we are really enjoying every bit of her. She is eating more now. She loves bananas and hates green beans! Her new food is oatmeal cereal with apple juice. She had peaches last night and LOVED them! She is starting to sit up on her own. She needs very little support and she will sit for you for a long time! She can roll all over the place and scoot wherever she wants to go!
Laura is doing well, almost through the first quarter at school. She is making friends and has been really active with her dance team at school. They had their last home game performance today after teaching 48 little kids a new dance. Dad works hard with her on her math homework and she is growing into a great little lady.
Last weekend we got our first snow of the season. We woke up Saturday morning to about 6 inches of snow! It was very nice. Since then the weather has cooled off. Today it was 71* and it felt so HOT! We are planning to go visit our family in California for Thanksgiving so we are working on saving for that. Thats about it here! We miss you all :)

Hotel time

It seems like we took tons of pictures of Aubrey at the hotel and video of Laura and her friends....check it out!

After LaFiesta restaurant, all the kids were picked up except for Megan and Marina. They were going to stay with us for the "after party." Uncle Richard booked 2 suites at the hotel and the girls stayed in a room with a jacuzzi tub in the room. We stayed across the hall in our own room. On Friday night the girls went into the pool and came out fried by the chlorine. Red eyes all around and so the girls went to bed. Saturday they played in the jacuzzi and we went to see "Beverly Hills Chihuaua". Out to dinner that night and then church the next morning where the girls parents met us to pick them up! What a wonderful birthday weekend Laura had. I doubt she will ever forget her 12th birthday celebration. Uncle Richard left the next day and we really miss him!

La Fiesta Restaurant

Laura chose to have her Birthday party at LaFiesta Restaurant! The limo arrived a bit late, but better late than never! Dad and Uncle Richard were waiting for us and here are a few pictures and video of the end!






Happy 12th Birthday Laura!
