The Ross Family 2: October 2013

I am loving this weather, and so are the kiddos! We are having so much fun bouncing around from Gma's, Grammys, and our own house. The days seem to short to pack in all the fun.

This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. It's true what they say like father like son!

Lukie being a little ham for mom. That smile melts my heart every time.

Shh! Don't tell but Abby found Luke's game. She even looks guilty.

So happy she found her chalk

Abby loves watching Wow Wow on Grammies Nook

I still can't believe that my little Laura bug has turned 3, but I guess I can't stop time (if I could I would). She has become such a high maintenance, fun loving, out spoken, energetic, smart, and beautiful little girl. She makes me laugh and pull my hair out everyday, but I wouldn't have it any other way. She has her daddy wrapped around her finger, and he doesn't even know it. I asked Laura what she wanted to do on her birthday. She gave me her favorite places as the animal zoom, McDonalds, Gma & GPa's house, Grammy and Paw Paw's house, and Wal-Mart. So Laura bug decided on her birthday we would go to Purina Farms (or as she likes to call it, the animal zoom). Believe it or not we spent a good 3 hours there, running through hay bales, playing in corn, milking a cow, petting the bunnies and piggies, admiring all the animals, and then starring in the dog show. I have never laughed so hard then to hear her responses to the show guy about her own dog, Otis. In her words Otis is "big, smelly, and eats her food". Luke jammed out to the music, and Abby just wanted to take a puppy home. Then as we ended our farm trip, Laura decided that we all needed McDonalds for her birthday lunch. We took her lunch to the park and played a little there, but it started to get a little warm. Then we headed home for a much needed nap. When she got up, her daddy was home, and the house was decorated for her birthday. She ran over and wanted her birthday song and cake. So we all sang to her and enjoyed our cake and ice cream. Then she went straight to the presents. Her dad put together her bike, so she could put on her helmet and ride. Then we headed to Grammy and Paw Paw's house where Grammy had another birthday party waiting for her. Fortunately it was late and time for bed afterwards. Then on Sunday she got a surprise visit from her bestie Susie, and opened up more of her favorite My Little Ponies (which we watched in the car numerous times all the way home). To top off her weekend she got to have her big family birthday party at Chuck e Cheese. She had so much fun with her Gma and Gpa, Uncle Nate, Aunt Trish, Carson, Brady, Aunt Ashley, Grammy, Paw Paw, Uncle Dan, Aunt Whit, and McKenna. She was so spent that we brought all the kiddos in from the car, and straight to bed. Wow what a way to spend your birthday weekend
