news story

Some of you have asked about the news story I was refering to.... I was listening to it on Monday and I don't really remember it totally and don't know which station played it and can't find it on the internet.... but--- the gist of it was a family had been stalked by someone who found their blog and blogging cautions were given out at the end which said don't post pictures of your kids on the internet and if you do, password protect it. That's what I got from it. If any of you know more about it- post it here and share other stuff. I might have been wrong about it!

I hate going private......

I really don't want to have our blog private..... But.....due to a scary little news story we are going to go private again. All of you on our list from last time will already be on our list but anyone who didn't have access PLEASE PLEASE leave your email or email me at katrams1@yahoo.com. We would love to be in touch with anyone we know even if we haven't talked for ages! Just leave your info :)

Halloween

Ava was the cutest little cowgirl ever for Halloween-it all turned out perfect. She got so much candy somehow and we only visited like 12 friends houses. If anyone wants a treat just come on over!

Getting ready to go to Barnes and Noble storytime

Ready to go trick or treating with Haylee

Cutest cowboy and cowgirl

With Gracie and Sam (we couldn't find Jonas!)

Erin and Ava

Halloween pajamas

also a cowgirl...

number one costume of the year! You go Ashley :)

Our melon brain. We had such a fun party last night!

Gardner Village

Mindi and I took the kids to see the Witches at Gardner village. It was so fun. Here are our attempts at pictures...

One of these times, I am going to say Ava look at mommy's nose and she will actually look instead of touch hers!

Very spooky black cat

Spooky halloween nails

Jazz Opening Night

What a fun game. I hate close ones, but Luke loves them. We were sad to not see D Wil play, but there will be plenty more games to come. I can't believe it is basketball season again already!

Let the season begin

Ava sat like this pretty much the entire game- thank goodness she loves it!

She was pretty tired by the time we were headed home

California Vacation

Day 1: getting ready for the big flight


Day 2: Tower of Terror....

Bug's Life bugs

Ladybugs again....

Day 3

Ava loved the parades so much we had to watch every single one!

It has seriously been ten years since I have seen even a wait that is less than an hour and a half on Space Mountain! We rode it 4 times in a row!

Do I look happy!? I think this was the longest ride I waited in....

Beauties

Goofy's kitchen- so fun, so yummy, and so worth it!

The funnest kid show ever. Playhouse Disney at California Adventure

Ava loved watching the big hill on Splash Mountain. She would scream and laugh each time a boat went down

Fireworks- Day 4

waiting for the fireworks to start

This was Ava's favorite ride. The Bug's Life ladybugs. They made me feel a little dizzy and sick, but it made her so happy- she would laugh the whole time!

The beach....

Whale watching boat. It was so amazing- we ran into a huge school of dolphins and watched them jump and swim for about an hour.

Last Day of vacation... Santa Monica and car rides
