Lunch Photo Shoot!

Ryan thought he was SOOOOO funny because he refused to open his eyes!

I caught him with his eyes open!

Abby tried talking to Grandma right after this picture. She wouldn't talk because of the peanut butter!

Love the smile...wish the eyes were open!

Waiting patiently for lunch!

Playing Outside!

Abby is much more willing to pause for me to take a picture. Ryan has no interest in interrupting his play for my camera :)

Decorating for Christmas! (There are 8 pictures..click the post to view)

The kids have been SOOOOOOOO excited to decorate for Christmas. We have even had a little count-down! It was the cutest day!

She definitly looks like a MacDougall here. In fact, I think I have some baby pictures that are pretty close to this!

Ryan says "Ta Da"

Ryan calls the balls "Jingle Bells"

So Cute

Abby is so much better at humoring me than Ryan is!

I Love this picture! That smile says it all!!

Even Christmas decorations turn in to baseball!

They love watching themselves sing Jingle Bells.

Movie Time!

So Stinking Sweet!

Storytime with Daddy!

Abby's new hobby is reading stories. I know it sounds cute and all, but we have read so many stories that when she heads for the bookshelf, we run and hide as fast as we can :)

My Little Fairies!

Abby got 2 Tinkerbell dresses for her birthday. One is a little bigger than the other. It was perfect for brother and sister dress up time!

The Beaver Strikes Again!

As you can tell, Joe was very sad to see his tree chewed down! He had been working so hard pruning this tree and getting it just right. It was almost there, when something decided it would make a good house!

Abby's Birthday Party!

We had Abby's 2nd Birthday Party at an indoor inflatable playground called Bounce U. We had a great time. I am waiting for my resident photographer (Auntie Amy) to share some of her pics....She is much better at capturing moments than I am. Abby and I get ready for the big party

Kendra and Derrick did not hold back in the boxing ring...Derrick definitly won!


Zach and Jaclyn were too cute going down the slide together!

Auntie Amy, Parker and Maddie watch as Ryan is coming towards them!Abby waits for her cake!
Abby chose Dora for her cake theme. However, all week I would ask her what she wanted on her cake and she would yell, "FROSTING!"

Lamora Clan

Ryan was very excited to take the bracelet off! He is asking me if he can take it off!Parker and Ryan hug goodbye...SO CUTE!

Thanks A Lot Amy!

Is this a conspiracy against me? My mother is so upset with me for not taking my kids to her house Halloween night. First, I hear super-daughter Kendra takes her kids over there TWICE...Thanks a lot. Then I check out my BFF's blog and she is sporting a picture of her son trick or treating with my mom. Okay, Okay, I feel bad!!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was fun...not really what I had anticipated however. Ryan refused to put on his costume. He had run around with it for weeks, but when it came time to use it for trick or treating he refused. Abby knew the whole thing invovled candy so she was game. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!!! I had to carry Ryan all through the neighborhood, so I wasn't able to take many pictures....this is all I've got. By the end of the night, I was in a full sweat...thank goodness I have been going to the gym! Kendra did a great job with her homemade costumes....I was very impressed!
