In our house, Halloween isn't the most important part of this day. It's my Grandma C's birthday!! Happy Birthday, Grandma! Sorry I can't give you kisses today, but when you get back from Miss Karen's, I will. Have a good time! Here's Grandma C with me and Daddy last week in my duckie outfit. And here's last year when I was a little Allosaurus. I also had some other outfits for Halloween last year that were more comfortable. If you wanna see more from last year, you can go here and here . Maybe there will be some more pictures from today's visit when we're all done, too.

Today is Jackson's birthday! He's 2! We went to the mall with our mommies to get some lunch and play in the fun place. I feel so special that he let me hang out with him on his special day! We used my new stroller that we got for me and Kinlee to use when she gets here. It was fun to ride together, and Jack got to ride in front since he's bigger and 2 and everything. We got some lunch, or at least the mommies got lunch, and we tried to sneak it when they weren't looking. Jack had a hot dog for lunch, but I didn't want anything except some drinks of Mommy's. Then we went over to the play area and had some real fun! There was only a couple of kids so we had plenty of room to play. We danced a little bit to the music on at the mall. And we both showed off how we can do TOUCHDOWN! We were just barely tall enough to see each other over the big log thing. I found out you can sit in there and the other kids couldn't see me. So I took a rest for a while. Then w...

We had a pretty fun weekend. Mommy and Daddy put a pretty silly outfit on me, but it ended up ok because everyone just kept telling me how cute I was! Here was when we practiced putting on the outfit the night before. I wasn't so sure about this... Then on Saturday, we went to Grandpa J's church for a fun time called Trunk or Treat. I got all ready to go at the car because my outfit wouldn't fit on me in my car seat. (Check out how great my BabyLegs look with this!!) Then we got ready to go over to start seeing all the people. Grandma C came over to see me, and then she took me around to get some candy. Shaylin was there too with Auntie Janice. She was a pretty Cinderella! Then we all walked around to the cars to say hi and get yummies! Shay had some stuff called cotton candy, and she liked it alot! Miss Anna and her dog Romeo were all dressed up too. Isn't that funny??

Today is little Addie' s open-heart surgery in Iowa. If you've been through it with your kiddo, you'll never forget that day. Please pop over and encourage them. Her parents are very ready and seem to be as well-prepared as a parent can be for this process. But that moment when you hand your baby to the nurse or doctor at the door of the OR, it gets you. I know many of you can relate. Please be praying for very alert docs and nurses, no complications, and good health for her mom and dad as they care for her at the hospital for the next few days.

Sorry I haven't put up new pictures in a few days. We've been busy at my house. My mommy's birthday was Friday, then we went to a baby shower (there was no baby, though, and no shower!) yesterday. Today we were supposed to go to another one, but Mommy didn't feel good. So I went to Grandma's and played with Shay a little bit. We gave her a Bears shirt so she would match all of the rest of us. Grandma and Grandpa took Shay and me to get some pumpkins. Aren't they brave to take both of us out by themselves?! It was a quick trip, but fun. And I got a pumpkin to take home to Mommy!

I'm pretty excited! I'm gonna have a baby sister! Here's her picture, it's kind of a funny one, I think. It's like she's laying on her back. See her cute nose?? And do you wanna know her name?? Mommy will tell you more about the picture and her name on her blog if you wanna see it.

Saturday night our friends Mr. Jason and Miss Sarah came over to our house. They brought some neat stuff for Pepino and we all went to dinner. After dinner, we came back to play for a little bit. Amber is the big girl of the bunch, and she showed me some fun things. Then we all played with my fun toy. Katelyn found a cool new way to make it work even better by using a smaller ball. She didn't even have to push the button to get it to go through. Isn't she smart?? When they went home, we went downstairs and watched some TV, and I got sleepy. I just layed over on Daddy and took a nap. It was a very busy day, but lots of fun.

Today is Uncle Jody's birthday. We had a quick cake and ice cream party yesterday. Auntie Skye got him this neato cake with her special name for him on it. It was super yummy.

Miss OT came this week to see me. She brought some fun paper, and we made pictures with some food stuff like pudding and apples. Then she gave me some stuff called oatmeal that I pushed around and played in. I got very messy. My hands were hiding under all the stuff! Here's my pictures when we got done.

Saturday was our yard sale at Grandma and Grandpa's old house. We had ALOT of stuff! There was all this outside, and then a bunch more big stuff in the house. Oh, and a car too! Uncle Levi had lots of stuff to sell, and he's a good at selling, so he made some bucks! Daddy handled all the money for everyone and kept track of who got what. I hung out with Grandma C some when she wasn't busy. It was a really nice sunny day but we still had our jackets on for the early morning. The sun was still sleeping when we first got there!! Miss Cheryl came by to show us her new haircut. It's ALOT shorter! But it looks nice, I think. You can see what it looked like before on her blog. I practiced standing up and played in the sun a little. And guess what I found?? I found my favorite thing...shadows! After it was over, I played in the shade while the big people cleaned up. It was a pretty good day, and we sold a whole bunch of stuff. There's alot left over, but we...
