Halloween 2011

Cutest cowboy EVER!

This cute kitty cat couldn't put down her snow cone to have her picture taken.

playing games at the church trunk-or-treat

Snow cones, balloon animals, music to dance to and lots and lots of CANDY!

Monday night we went trick-or-treating down our street. Thanks Daddy for the hard work pulling these 2 around in the wagon up and down hills!
By the way, this is the only time Andrew had this hat on. In fact, he's in the process of taking it off in this picture.

Fall Fun

I guess I should clarify...Genna's fall fun.
She has had a very fun month. It started with fall festival at her school where she rode her first carnival ride by herself and laughed the whole time! I was afraid she would get scared, but she didn't!

She also got her hair and face painted and thought it was really great. We even went out to eat afterwards like that and she just laughed as people looked at her!

She also had a fun field trip to a pumpkin patch and Mama got to go, too!
Here we are eating lunch in the loft of a barn. This was the kids' favorite part.

jumping on hay bales...

She FINALLY picked a pumpkin.

They also had lots of animals to look at. This is the first year that she has had any interest in that. Usually she is scared of anything that moves.

Our climber...

So, should I have taken the time to get the camera before getting him down? Probably not, but in my defense, it was very close by. Andrew is very different from Genna. She would have NEVER thought to just climb up and get whatever it was that she wanted...in fact, she still doesn't. If he can't reach it, he will find a way.

Please pay no attention to the messy pantry!

About 2 months ago...

Andrew started Play School!
He's in the Monkey Class, so, of course, I had to make him a monkey shirt!
And, yes, he did wear shoes.

Backk-blogging - September

These pictures are all out of order, but they are from our weekend at Andrea's house celebrating Charlie, Mary Frances and my birthdays. It was a fun weekend...eating at the mexican restaurant that we walked to, Mary Frances's soccer game, playing outside, etc.

Genna has started posing for pictures. This is one of the more common ones...

Being brave petting the ferocious puppy ;-)

Grandaddy and Memama with the soccer star!

Happy Birthday to us! Mary Frances so so nice to re-make her birthday crown that she got at school for me.

Bedtime in matching pj's!

"Me play soccer ball now?"

The best way to fall asleep...

At the playground after church right before we had to go home...

Andrew's new favorite phrase...

"I do it...me-silf?"
Funny how it's always a question....first. If I say no, he changes it to "I do it me-silf!"
fun times and lots of messes at our house...

End of Summer

I can't believe that summer is over! It really flew by!
These are just a few end of summer pictures that I found on my camera.

Playing in the backyard pool...

Looks like he's thinking, "my sister is so funny!"

precious boy...

Last Sunday of wearing sleeveless, seersucker outfits...

This little girl is growing up so fast!
