November fun

The nice weather hung on into November (I know, I'm way behind!). We were able to get out and went to the zoo some more too. Emily and I took the train ride for the first time at this visit-she absolutely loved it!!! She sat there and took it all in. So fun to watch it all from the eyes of a child!

Amazed!

Chugga-chugga-choo-choo!!!!

Watching the animals as we passed by.

She was walking around in a pair of my slippers-silly girl!

During an unusually quiet moment, I check on her and see that she took apart a stack of post-its! It was too funny, I couldn't be upset!

She loves sitting on her jewelry box-perfect size for her-too cute!

Costume Party!

So, what would Halloween be without a costume party!! Jenny and Tiffany had their annual costume party that I could actually come to this year! Aaron wasn't too much in the costume party mood (bah humbug!) so I went solo after work that day. I had to keep it simple (and cheap) since I was going after work-so I was a cat....classic....

The Big Bad Wolf (Jessica), Jenny and I. Her husband was Little Red Riding Hood-hysterical!!

Group picture of the girls. What was funny was all the guys taking our pictures....lots of them-we felt like we were being attacked by paparazzi!! It was also funny because she lives on a busy street-lots of car honks!!!

Me and Jenny. I don't know why I kept my 'tail' in my pocket all night long....

I think this is hysterical!!! Paul Bunyan and his kill.

Skye, me and Tiffany.

What a fun night!!! I'll work on my costume much earlier next year!

Halloween part 2

On actual trick-or-treat night we had fun things to do too. One of the police stations right by us, where my uncle is the chief, has a Halloween night for kids too. There are games, food, and candy too of course! Most of the games were for a little bit bigger kids, but we had fun still. After we were there for awhile we still had time to go around our neighborhood too. We really just went to the houses that are in our court. That was plenty for Emily-it was almost bedtime! We still ended up with a ton of candy! :)

Just hanging out before we left.

My little Cinderella!

They like to hold hands.

Lovin' their suckers-and looking for more!

Saylor was all about it-Emily wasn't too sure about it. I do have to mention that right before this, we did spill an entire cup of hot chocolate...quite embarrassing....

We got to walk around the fire station too and see the big fire trucks with their ladders up!

Grammy and her grandkids.

Sitting content, still working on their suckers while the grown-ups talked. It didn't last long-they were chasing each other around soon after.

Movie star!

What a fun night!!

Halloween part 1

We we to 'Trunk or Treat' at a church up the road from my parent's house. There were a bunch of games and things for the kids to do. There was yummy food too! :) Then the people at the church all sat in their trunks in the parking lot and handed out candy to the kids. It was a lot of fun-I'm not sure if I'm explaining it well though...

They're so cute when they hug!

Emily and Saylor had to play on the neighbor's swing-set before we left.

Wheeeee!!!!

His little mouse costume is so cute!

Playing in the jump castle. After this she realized her dress was holding her back, and the rest of the time, it was in my bag...oh well!

Emily was not a fan of the fire truck for some reason.

Aren't they sweet???

Pumpkin patch

This fall we went to Circle S Farms to pick out a pumpkin. They have lots of fun things to do there. Grammy, Aunt Shell, Saylor, Julie and Kelton all came with us too-it was so much fun!

There's a barn full of hay to jump and play in-with two slides too! Emily had a rough first run going down by herself, so I went with her the next time.

Saylor and Emily were pretty content just taking it all in!

What a cutie!

Aaron and Emily were checking out the chickens. Aaron told her that's where chicken nuggets come from-I'm sure she is now scarred for life.

We took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch-Emily picked out a good one!

Baby Kelton was so good while we were there!

More birthday fun-videos!

I had gotten a giant Disney Princess balloon for Emily's birthday that sang Happy Birthday when you hit it. Emily was having a good time dancing (or jumping) every time she made the music play. This happened for days and days after her birthday too. It was fun to watch her play though. You can see Saylor not so much into the Princesses singing, but more into throwing golf clubs...such a boy!!!

Emily had gotten some dress up things for her birthday-including a pair of Cinderella shoes. They're just slip-ons with a little bit of a heel. This is Emily first trying them on and walking in them (surely a momentous moment for a girl-right??). Her Cinderella 'blip blops.' She actually wouldn't take them off the rest of the night and had to go to sleep with them on!!!

Emily is 2!!!!

Emily turned two!!! (OK, so I'm pretty behind-her birthday was Oct. 3, but I'm just now finally getting it on here.) It's so hard to believe that she is two already-I know everyone says this, but it does all go by so fast!! We had a little birthday party for her and had a real good time. Emily loved opening presents and didn't take her long to enjoy being the center of attention!

Opening presents!

She loves all her new dress up stuff!

Checking out all her new things.

Sneaking some of her cake : )

Yummy!!!!

Trying on her Cinderella dress-so pretty!

The next morning was spent playing with all of her new things!

She loves to put on her jewelry.

And her 'make-up' too!

She figured out herself to make her bracelets into anklets...such the little girl.

Playing in her Cinderella dress.

Checkin' herself out!! What a cutie!

We had so much fun with our friends and family-Happy Birthday Emily!!!! I love you!!!!!
