We had Sean 1st bday pictures and our family pictures done at Kiddie Kandid today. They turned out great even though we had to wait 40 mins for our pictures to be taken. The kids did great! Enjoy the pictures! Keep in mind that everyone will get pictures for Christmas. Enjoy!
Sarah has been excited about and asking about when Halloween is since the middle of August. That's when all of the stores around us started putting out Halloween costumes. This year Sarah and I went to a Border's Halloween party, where she made a candy corn necklace, played games, decorated a trick or treat bag, listened to a Halloween story, watched them make a witches brew, participated in a costume contest and trick or treated around the store. We had a great time. Sarah, Sean and I went to a Halloween story time at the library where we listened to Halloween stories, sang songs, and then trick or treated around the library. Three of Sarah's classmates had joined us. We all had a fun time! On Halloween, Sarah went to school and had a Halloween parade and party! She came home from school excited about trick or treating. Sarah and Mark went trick or treating with the neighbors and had a great time!
Time has flown by so quick! Sean is 11 months and becoming more like a toddler! He has two top front teeth and the bottom teeth are starting to poke through. We are happy that Sean's teeth are white! Sean is crawling fast, balancing as he stands, can go from sitting to standing without holding on to anything, take a few steps, climbing stairs, and is cruising around the room while holding onto different toys/furniture. Its amazing how quickly they grow up! Enjoy the latest pictures!
Mark took Sarah to the pumpkin patch at Lake Ridge Nuersery! As you can see from the photos, Sarah had a great time! Mark and Sarah brought home two good size pumpkins for us to carve! Sarah can't wait for Halloween to get here!
We spent the weekend of Oct 11Th in Asheville, North Carolina for Amy's wedding. The weather was perfect and the wedding was beautiful. Amy truly had a perfect day to get married! On the way home we took the scenic route through the mountains. It was absolutely beautiful with the changing leaves! Even though it took 10 1/2 hours to get home, it was well worth it.
Sarah and I went to Sydney's birthday party at Gymboree. We had a lot of fun. There were around 20 children there not counting siblings. It was amazing the amount of food they had. Not only was there pizza but there was also finger foods. The highlight of the party was that Cinderella showed up the last half hour. Sarah was so excited. Cinderella gave them each a necklace and glitter on their arms. Sarah had a great time!
On October first,we went with Sarah's preschool to Cox Farm for their fall festival. Mark was able to take the day off to join us. Sarah and Mark had a lot of fun going down different slides of all sizes. Also, we saw many different farm animals such as pigs, cows, goats, chickens, and bunnies. Sarah and Mark enjoyed feeding the goats. Sarah thought it was funny to have the goats eat from her hands. Sean tried Pizza for the first time and really enjoyed it. On the way out, we all got a free pumpkin. We all had a great time.
