Not too scary Halloween party!

It's tradition for the Hughes and Mullers to attend this not so scary Halloween party at the zoo together, and what a great tradition it is!  We had so much fun together.  It was really crowded, but we made it through the crowd taking our time getting pictures with characters, dancing to music, and eating some candy along the way.  My kids have trick or treating down perfectly and are ready to do it again on Halloween.  Alex's pizza costume turned out great as well as Ava's face painting.  My Mom and I were a good team working on them earlier in the day.  Enjoy the pictures!

Pumpkin Patch

My favorite season is summer, but I must say I do love pumpkin picking!  Everyone had so much fun at Gallrein farm.  Gallrein is getting much bigger than what it used to be, but it's still a lot smaller than Huber's farm.  I think Ava and Alex's favorite part was riding on the tractor.  Ava is begging me now to carve the pumpkins, so I guess we will spend the rest of our Sunday evening doing just that.  Enjoy the pictures!



Ava loves Grandaddy!

It's been a long time

It's been a long time since I've posted anything.  I've been busy teaching Kindergarten, but that will soon change when my sub position expires October 13th.  I am going to miss my class so much, but I am ready to get back to being a full time Mommy.  I have actually had more time for myself while working, for example I get a lunch break and planning time (time by myself!)  I miss being with Ava and Alex and can't wait to take care of them full time again.  My Mother has been a saint and has taken over my roll as Mommy, picking Ava up from school everyday, running them to appointments. naps, feeding, etc.  A huge thank you to my Mom and Dad for helping me out!! 

We wanted to fill up our Saturday with as much fun as we possibly could so we started the day hitting up the St. James art fair, then paid a visit to a fantastic Navy ship that you were able to walk in and check out everything, then we went to dinner in New Albany at Pizza King.  Pizza King has booths you sit at with a window and a train comes by to bring you your drinks.  The kids loved it.  The food was in my opinion crappy, but I didn't expect much when they brought us paper plates and plastic forks:/ 

In other news, Bert got a fabulous new job, and our first purchase was a Toyota sienna minivan. I feel so blessed to have been able to purchase this, we couldn't be happier!! Thanks for all those that kept us in your prayers.

Ava loves the new car!

Alex love it too, so much he fell asleep.

Looking super stylish in the new ride.
