Halloween Party!

Our church had a Halloween costume party last Saturday night. We had such a good time! They hired a deejay so we were able to do a bit of dancing as well. It was so nice to have an evening kid-free! Here are the best pictures of the evening!

I love how our antennae are sticking out!

Pump It Up!

Lily's cousin, Aubrey, had her 4th birthday party a couple of weekends ago. It was at a place called Pump It Up, where they have large rooms filled with inflatable jumpers, obstacle courses, and other fun giant inflatable toys. Lily had a blast! She ran around the entire time, which tired David and I out quite a bit. Since she is under 2 we had to accompany her on everything. Below are pictures of her having lots of fun.

Later in the day, Lily slid down all by herself and LOVED it!

and through the tunnel

We'll have to take her there again, but I think we may wait until she is old enough to go on her own :)

Yay for Fall!!

I can't believe it is already the middle of October. And I really can't believe that my baby girl is 19 months old...she is now closer to 2, which is scary.

We have been having so much fun in the cooler weather. We have gone to the park multiple times, and we try and go by the play grounds near Auntie Ashlee's house every time we go to visit her. She also wants to go outside every time we let Gracie out.

One thing she has really enjoyed is going to the pumpkin patches! We first went to one with Granny, when I went to get my hair done in Pearland. We stopped on the way back to my parents, so Lily could help Granny pick out some good ones. They had wagons so you could pull your pumpkins around. Lily enjoyed climbing in and out of the wagon, and loved getting pulled by Granny. And I must say, Lily is very good at choosing pumpkins.

The next pumpkin patch we visited was in the Woodlands at the church where I go to my MOPS class and bible study. They had a day set up with children's activities and you could take a pumpkin home. Lily had so much fun! First she went around and looked at all of the pumpkins. (and took on quite a few cute poses)

Next, she saw the jumpy castle from across the grass and took off running to it. She LOVED jumping around in here. I swear if she could have stayed in there all day she would have.

Finally it was time to pose for some pictures. She found herself a spot on the wood and posed for quite a few pictures. I was very glad she was in a good mood.

We then went on to do a few of the children's activities. Most were too advanced for her, but I let her decorate a bag. She loves coloring.

Lily had so much fun running around with Walker, and we even got a few cute pictures of the two of them together. Lily was really enjoying eating an apple slice while these pictures were taken.

One last picture with just Lily!

We need to go to one more pumpkin patch. Lily needs to help Auntie Ashlee pick out some pumpkins, and maybe we will get a couple for ourselves. I'm hoping to get a few pictures of Lily in her costume....here's hoping my little bee will cooperate!
