The trouble with Halloween

What is a girl supposed to do when her Mommy insists that she dress up like a bumble bee?

Cry!

Can you PLEASE take this off of me now?

I like my idea better. Just tights and the hat. That will work for me. Too bad its going to be cold while I trick or treat tonight!

Everyday Life

Just pictures from everyday life in our house.

A bucket can come in handy for many different tasks. Holding water. Carrying around my sippy cups. Hiding my pacifiers. It even works for a hat.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE brushing my teeth. Its great. I would do it about 5 times a day if Mommy would let me.

Last Chance Getaway!

Mommy and Daddy went away for a 3 day weekend to Palm Springs. They called it their "Last Chance Getaway." Meaning their last chance to get away before the baby is born and be "kid free" for the weekend. I stayed home with Grandma and had a great time.

Aside from eating lots of yummy food, they went on an Aerial Tram Ride up to the top of a mountain - 8700 ft up. This tram rotated as it climbed the mountain so they got a 360 degree view of the area.

Here they are riding the Tram

Top of the mountain:

Beautiful view

At that elevation, the air is really thin. Since my baby sister is squishing Mommy's lungs as it is, she was out of breath the whole time because of the air. Daddy tried to convince her to take a 3/4 mile nature walk, but there was NO way she could have made it. One flight of stairs took the wind right out of her.

Our road trip to Northern California

This last week, Grandma, Mommy and I drove up to Northern California to visit my family. The main reason for this trip was to help watch my cousins Jack and Caroline. My Auntie Heather went to Africa for 2 weeks with her church. They went to Uganda to help out their "Sister Church." She had an amazing time and it was really fun to hear all of her stories.

All week long Mommy had to watch all 3 of us, as well as make sure to pick Caroline up from Kindergarten on time. She often referred to Jack and I as twins. We got into mischief together all day long. Including breaking out of the house and going on walks without anyone knowing where we were. (Thank goodness Grammy and Papa's driveway is fenced in.)

It was a great trip and we already miss everyone.

Papa and Grammy

I always have so much fun visiting my Papa and Grammy. They spoil me rotten and always have something fun to do.

Papa loved sharing his ice cream with me.

Jack and I always compete for his attention. Even during dinner. But since Papa loves his grand babies, he always made it work. Even if that meant bending the rules during dinner.

Getting some snuggle time in.

Grammy just loves snuggling with her grand-kids!
"Oh No!"

This turned out to be my favorite phrase and Papa just loved it when I said it.

My Cousins

I got to spend so much time with Jack and Caroline. I miss them so much now that I'm home.

Papa's Salon

First we had to take a bath and get all cleaned up....

Then Papa did our hair. With a blow dryer and everything!
What a good Papa he is!

Bishop's Pumpkin Patch

Grammy took us to a really fun Pumpkin Patch. There are so many cool things to do. First we went on the train. It took us all around the property and we got to see a bunch of animals, pumpkins and tractors.

Sittin' with the pumpkins
They had a "Hay Jump" for the kids to play on. Its a trampoline about 6 inches off the ground and it is covered in hay. It was SO much fun to play in.
Grammy helped me jump. It was hard to keep my balance with so many people jumping at the same time.
Here is a petting zoo. The goats were really aggressive, and I didn't really like them all the much. But Jack had a great time - until a goat bit him!
Just acting like animals.

Look over there! Do you see all those pumpkins?
OH NO! Jack - dont jump!
Driving the tractor

We finished the day with some fresh apple pie and homemade apple juice. It was a great day!

Finger Painting

We got to do a lot of finger painting while up in Northern California. We had a lot of fun. Jack didn't like it too much, so it was mainly Mommy, Caroline and myself.

Mommy let us paint the pumpkins that we got at the pumpkin patch. (Since we are too young to carve them)





Finished product:

Landen

My Auntie Regan has a cute little boy named Landen. He has been on my website before, but he was so little back then. Now he is 1 yr and walking! He tried so hard to keep up with Jack and I. He is adorable.

We got in a little fight over the TV.

Pregnant Bellies

My Auntie Lauren came to see us one day while we were there. Look at how cute their bellies are together. Lauren is due December 9th and Mommy is due Dec 17th.

Mommy's Hair Cut

Mommy was really overdue for a hair cut. Since she is going to be busy with me and my sister pretty soon, she decided to cut it all off!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch. It was so much fun! There were lots of things for me to do.

We rode on a "Hay Ride." (You can see how big Mommy's tummy is getting!)

So many pumpkins to choose from:

I think this one is perfect

My buddy Troy and I both picked out winners.

They also had a petting zoo. The goats were a little aggressive and scared me a bit.
