Our Little Girl

I was taking some pictures after church one day and when I saw them couldn't believe how our baby now looks like a little girl. It's like she woke up one morning and aged a couple of years! It's amazing how fast they grow.

Audrey loves running all over. Just this week she started saying "set, go" (she forgets the ready part) and then proceeds to run from one side of the room to the other. She does this over and over. I wish I had half the energy she does! Here she is caught in the act.

Sommersaults!

Audrey has mastered the sommersault and I just happened to get one on video.

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.
