Carving Pumpkins!

Elie playing in leaves! There are a lot more where these came from.

Halloween Week Begins....ooooohhhh!

Our play group had a Halloween party, which was a lot of fun! We tried a group shot early so we might avoid baby break downs, it didn't work. Two of them lost it right away.

Here's a couple of the bugs that were at the party. Elie and I didn't get the memo that she was supposed to be an insect.

She was a chicken of course!

Whitney and McKinley came for a little visit this afternoon , and Elie thought she was little again and should ride in the little car seat, I don't think she fits anymore....

Fort

All of Jimmy's dreams came true on Saturday morning when he got to make a fort for Elie. I am pretty sure this is the reason he wanted kids, so he could have a reason to act like one again. Elie loved it, you can see the fort behind her, it took up the entire living room.

Pumpkin Patch!

Elie's first trip to a pumpkin patch! We got a baby sized pumpkin, a Momma sized pumpkin and a BIG Dadda sized pumpkin.

We met our friends Kimberly, and her Mom at the Cherry Creek Mall so the grils could play. Here they are climbing around on the waffle.
And a bowl of cereal. There was a little boy there who was very intrigued by Elie. I almost didn't tell her Dad, but he gave her a kiss on the cheek, first kiss!

Maggie and the Baby Cow

I washed Elie in warm water last night and she shrunk! J/k, here's me holding baby McKinley. She will be appearing as a cow for the next two weeks. Tickets are free!

I have had several requests for video of the chicken suit. here are two funny ones.

Flower Girl

Here's a little preview of Elie in her Flower Girl's dress for Sarah's wedding. She's going to wear a black sash in the ceremony which I think will be even cuter, no worries there will plenty of pictures to blog ffrom the wedding...only one month til the wedding!

Halloween Chicken

I finally found a Halloween costume that I likes that everyone else won't have, it is hysterical I laughed so hard when I put it on her, I was crying.
Chicken butt (it waddles when she walks).
Chicken face.
Chicken Legs.Flying Chicken.

Red Feathers

Beth, Jon and Baby Sam came up to the cabin with us this weekend. We had a nice time. We "hiked" Mt Margaret on Saturday. Any trail you can take your stroller on and has a 100 foot elevation gain, doesn't really qualify as a hike. There were some good jokes about "being on" Mt. Margaret though (mostly at my expense).


Elie trying to walk Annabelle.
Group shot. Beth put the camera on a rock and it gave us this cool angle. The picture wouldn't have been as cool if it weren't for that rock.
Jimmy and Elie crossing the raging river.
Elie has her pooh ears on again. Beth was reading the babes a story, and Elie thought she should pet Sam's head, she only whacked him upside the head once. Remember this picture because we'll blog it next to their 2025 Senior Prom pictures.
