Happy Birthday Aunt Nicki!

I hope you have as much fun as I did this day...

...get to spend it with people you love...

...and get a lot of cuddles and hugs!

Happy 40th Birthday, Aunt Nicki!! I love you!!

Happy 1st Halloween!

We got up yesterday morning, let the dogs out, and went outside to say "Good morning!" Only today we said "Good morning outside! Mommy and Liam are awake. Happy Halloween!"

Later on it was time for a costume change and...

...more pictures! Liam had to sport the groovy Halloween onesie from YaYa , Uncle Paul. Emily, and Everett (YaYa made it).

Liam and I realized that even though we had awesome Halloween shirts, Daddy did not! We needed to make him one...

He thought that was hilarious.

"Umm Mommy, I don't care if it's a Halloween bib. It's a bib...time to eat!"

By the way- Texan and Lexy were, of course, in the Halloween spirit too.

Daddy got home and it was time for Liam to get into his Mickey Mouse costume! (In case you didn't know, Liam LOVES Mickey)

He was a little reluctant to stay in costume...

...but appeased us with a few pictures...

...then decided that, no matter how much we tried, he didn't need all of his costume.

I love Mickey too.

He's pondering being ready to Trick-or-Treat next year.

Happy Halloween!

Picking Our Pumpkins

Mommy told me that we were going to a pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. I thought it was a bit windy for a walk but since I like them so much, I was willing to go. I didn't know what was in store for us until I saw this...

So those orange things we've been passing at the grocery store are pumpkins!

I thought we were about to pick some out when Daddy took me over to pretend to be a scarecrow...

Finally, I was right next to a BIG one and Mommy showed me that it was okay to touch it...

...and sit on it!

Then Daddy helped me pick out a pumpkin of my very own!

Did I mention that these were his overalls when he was a baby?

I had a great time at the pumpkin patch with Mommy and Daddy!

Apparently, the fun wasn't over...there was more!

We watched Daddy cut the top of his pumpkin......and he let me feel the inside of it.

It sure was gooey and gross!

I decided that I was going to keep mine in one piece.

It sure was fun to watch Mommy and Daddy carve theirs though!

My pumpkin is just the right size and sparkles!
