Never a Dull Moment!

Here are a few pictures from the last couple weeks.

The girls had a vacation day with daddy, here they are trying to hide from daddy. Reese looks like she didn't want to be found.

Ava getting in the "baby" crib

Reese getting mad that she has to share the space, and Ava picking her nose?

Ava right after she dumbed a box of honeycomb on the table

Reese then took the bag and dumped the crumbs on her head. Parker played an integral part in the clean up! :-)

Trent and Max Visit!

A few weeks ago my college friends, Amanda, Tim and their son Trent and Amy, Steve and their son Max stopped by. We missed our other friends April and Nicole and their families!

The girls loved having Trent and Max over. Here are a few pictures from that day.

This is the only one I have of the 4 of them. No sitting still, constant playing and investigating!

Ava showing Trent the ropes at the play kitchen

Trent (10 1/2 months, I think)

Reese already fighting off the boys. Here she is with Max

Max (9 months)

It looks like Steve is a natural with 2! :-)

Hope we can all get together again soon!

We spent Christmas with Paw-Paw, Grandma Jacob, Steele, Sara, Anabelle, Lisa, Mike, Josh and Bev on the 27th. The photog for this night was trying some new tricks with the camera, and caused many to be blurry and electrified so I didn't have a lot to choose from for the post. Example pic below.

Anyway, as Uncle Josh has already referred to it, it was the last stop on the Christmas Express and here are a few pics!

Ava and her stocking....Gotta love it, eating a snack while opening gifts.

Ava wanting to be like Anabelle. Ava and Reese gave Anabelle a princess dress up outfit. As soon as Anabelle put it on, Ava had to be dressed up in something too.

Thank you Jacob family for a great Christmas and a great way to end the holidays!!

My Name is Reese Jacob and Guess What????

I'M WALKING!!!!!!!

So, it's not a picture of her walking, but it's classic Reese! :-)
And, I just realized, today she's 15 months! Happy 15 months Reesie!

Birky Family Christmas!

We spent Christmas with Pa-Pa, NaNa and Uncle Josh on the 26th. Lots of fun was had by all!

Pa-Pa, Ava and Reese

Ava passing out presents. Once she got to one of her presents, she stopped helping and immediately had to open her gifts!

Reese hanging out on the presents playing with her ornament

Lots going on!

Uncle Josh and his pile of gifts

NaNa and Ava laughing at funny Uncle Josh

Reese LOVES musical snowmen! There seemed to be one everywhere we went this year!

Samford Family Christmas!

We spent Christmas day at my parents house with Grandpa, Bebe, Aunt Nicole, Uncle Ryan, Wrigley and Parker even got to join in on the festivities (although she didn't make the cut for pictures on the blog).

Getting ready to open presents from Santa. Two things to clarify: 1) If you are wondering what is in Ava's hair, it is a sticker. 2) If you are wondering what we are sitting on, it is a buffalo hide....only at my parents.....
