Fall, Fun, and Family

Gram & Pap came to visit!

Aunt Kami, Uncle Matt, Caleb and Carly also came.

Paisley has not stopped saying "Pa?"  "Cal?"  "Cahr?" 

You can't really tell here, but she was pressing her face up against the glass and licking the window.

It is completely unprompted and HILARIOUS!

 

We celebrated Pap's birthday.

We ventured out in the freezing rain to Chester's Party Barn.

The kids loved it.

 

 

I love moments we get to spend with family.

Can't wait until Thanksgiving!

Catching Up

Here are a few events from September:

 

P looks super cute in blue.  I can't get over how grown up she looks here.

She's even cute when she's pouting.

We chased ducks at Hafer Park.

This is her look of determination.

Oh look, we found dirt! Must. Play. In. Dirt.

 

We participated in the Parent-Child Dedication at our church.

 

There are no pictures of this event.  But if there were, all you would see is Paisley's bottoms when she was consistently trying to slide down the stairs. She would not let us hold her for the 15 minutes we were on stage. It was totally embarassing, but I'm sure the congregation got a kick out of it.

 

Last weekend we went to Lake Thunderbird for C.A.S.T (Catch a Special Thrill).

It is a day of boat fishing for kids with special needs.

Trent's job hosts it every year.

We didn't get to go out on a boat, but P was ready just in case.

 P had her new favorite shoes on.  Funny story - we didn't have any good shoes for outdoor play, so thanks to our awesome neighborhood, I posted a facebook status on the neighborhood facebook page, and the next morning we picked some up off of a neighbor's porch.  Our neighborhood is great about things like that!  And now we have some new chuck taylors, as well as two other new pairs of shoes.

 

 

P's first Princess Party

P attended her first big girl princess birthday party today.

Mom bought her a tiara and wand for the festivities.

 

 

Princess Ariel came to visit.

P got to chase bubbles and pop them with her princess wand.

 

 

She danced with the other princesses.

And listened intently to Ariel sharing a story.

P even got fairy dust sprinkled on her head.

She did get distracted a few times by all of Kennedy's neat toys.

Sorry Kathy, she may have even taken a chunk out of Kennedy's lip stick.  Oops.

What princess party would be complete without pink cake!?!

And finally, a hug from the birthday princess, Kennedy.

Thanks for inviting us to your birthday party!

Surprisingly, P was on her best behavior and was really engaged in the princess activities.

There were no fits or accidents.  Success!!!

Back in Business

Welp, we are back in business, folks. 

We got our camera back from the giraffes and were able to retrieve our pictures!

 

Here are some photos from our play day at the park.

 

 

Here's a few pictures from our day at the zoo. 

There was supposed to be more pictures, particularly of P feeding the giraffes,

but we all know how that ended.

P and I baked a cake!

Fun Bath Time! What a cutie.
