Halloween 2011

We celebrated Halloween Friday with the grandparents. Ben didn't have school so we traveled northeast for the weekend. Here's my "fighter fighter," candy corn, and Tinkerbell posing for Papa and Gigi.

Trick or treating downtown with Big Papa and Grandma Sauce.

Visiting Great Grandma Flossie.

We carved pumpkins Saturday night with Big Papa and Grandma Sauce. We put them out tonight incase we had any trick-or-treaters. We had none.

It was a beautiful day. Bring on November!

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, Leah and I joined Rhett's class on their field trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a sunny, WINDY day, but we had a lot of fun. Rhett was most excited to ride the school bus. He can't wait until kindergarten when he gets to ride the bus everyday. Leah's favorite part was going down the big slide with mom (sorry no pictures of that). I have to admit, it was pretty fun! Today is Rhett's costume party at school. A big week for my little guy!

Birthday Girl!

A little late with the birthday post. This is our 3-year old on her birthday, September 22.

Momma and Daddy got her a fairy dress up costume.

Love the pose, Leah!

A week later, we had her party. It was also the day of Whitewater's Fall Festival so we went into town for the parade.

Leah waiting "patiently" for the parade to start.

Leah has been wanting this pink scooter since she first saw it in the spring.

Thank you Big Papa and Grandma Sauce!

Leah was pleased with her Barbie cake. Momma was not. I'm glad we got this cake out of the way while she won't remember what a pain it was for her mother to make!

Rhett has some big news to share!

We are NOT pregnant. This is waaaaaaay better news!

Where has the last 6 months gone?!

Trey is such a happy boy! What a joy to all of us. Rhett continues to be protective and Leah continues to smother. Trey is not short on attention.

He had a good check up Thursday. He weighs just under 17 lbs (37th%ile against 6 month olds, 77th against those with his due date) and is just short of 27 inches long (69th%ile against 6 month olds, top of the chart against his due date).

Skills are about 5 months but not a concern at all.

He has been eating yellow veggies and cereal. We will be starting some fruits next week after we visit the store. He takes 3 naps a day and sleeps 11-12 hours at night. He is an ANGEL!

Silly Leah!

Leah definitely tries my patience... frequently. But she is a blast to have around!

I love it when she covers her mouth and laughs when she thinks something is funny.

I may be biased, but I think she is so pretty. And this makes me nervous. Pretty and fun to have around? She may not be allowed to leave the house as a teenager.

Trey smiles and laughs at her all the time. She talks baby talk to him and he loves it!

This is Leah winking at me. Silly Leah!

Not to be left out...

Here's what our tubba wubba is up to lately. He wants so badly to sit up. Tonight I moved him from the "infant" side of the tub to the "toddler" side of the tub where he can sit up more.

Another picture of our happy boy!
