Taking a break to eat some Halloween Candy


Bug on a window...

As you can tell from the title to this entry, Audrey was a ladybug this year for Halloween. I thought she looked super cute. We went and took pictures like we did last year and then took her to a few houses in the neighborhood for her first trick or treating experience. By the last house she finally said Trick or Treat and also thank you to the homeowner. Next year I'm sure it will be a blast for her. We then went back to the house to hand out candy to the rest of the kiddos. Audrey stayed in her costume all night and helped me answer the door. We had a lot of fun and can't wait till next year!

A Day at the Apple Orchard

On Saturday, Audrey and I went to an Apple Festival with my friend Kirby and her daughter Dillyn. We didn't exactly know what to expect, but thought it would be something different to do. There were pony rides, farm animals, inflatables, hay rides and of course apple picking. The girls weren't too interested in the pony rides, but enjoyed looking at the ducks, chickens, donkeys and bunnies. Everyone agreed that the best part was the apples drizzled with caramel...yum!

Go Bobcats!!

Last Friday was Brookings Homecoming and to celebrate, our daycare had a wear red and black day. I decided to get a little creative and paint Audrey a onesie and I think it turned out pretty good! I also added ribbons to the daily ponytail to mix it up a bit. It's amazing how that little creative mommy gene comes out once in a while. At daycare she also got a bobcat paw tatoo and red and black painted toenails.

Go Bobcats Go!! All she needs is a pom!

Outside Fun

It is absolutely gorgeous weather here this week, so we are taking full advantage because the snow will be flying soon I'm sure. Who'd have thought it would still be in the 80s in September!! Audrey had tons of fun playing outside tonight and I got some great pictures.

Trip To SA

This past week we were back "home" in San Antonio. Audrey had her one year surgery doctors appointment so we decided to make it a vacation of sorts. Since the last trip did not go very well, we decided to make this one as easy and appointment free as possible. It worked!! We were able to relax and enjoy our time catching up with family and friends. As we only had one doctors appointment and zero picture appointments this time as opposed to 3 doctor and 2 picture appointments like last time, we were able to spend most of the trip hanging out and "enjoying" the heat.

We took Audrey to the zoo while we were in town. Believe it or not, Dave and I never went there the whole 5 years we lived in San Antonio! We had a good time, minus the extreme heat and humidity in the air. We also enjoyed Don and Lori's pool. After the rain, the water was nice and refreshing. I do think Audrey's favorite part of the trip was playing with Dalon & Kristin's cats and chasing them around their house.

As for the doctors appointment, everything turned out great. Her surgeon said her head looks terrific! We'll be back when Audrey is 3 for another checkup. A great excuse to get down and see everyone again. Thankfully, next time will be during the winter up here!!
