October 2010

The "punktin patch" as Avery says
Hi daddy
Too many to choose from
She bounced for 45 minutes and loved it
"Petting" the chicken
Mommy and Avery
We tried, she just wouldn't look
Wow, a monkey
Too cute
The giraffes
The famous S.B. zoo turtle.
The big girls, and one sad Molly
"I painted"
All the girls painting
Hi Strawberry butterfly
Love this one
So proud of her pumpkin just before we left for dinner and trick or treating
Walking with daddy to the next house
All by herself

So our computer was broken for a while and now it is fixed!!!! I have been waiting to upload lots of cute pics, so I just decided to condense the whole month. We stared out the month by going to the pumpkin patch. She loved it especially the bounce house part. She LOVES animals so the feeding/petting zoo part was fun too. I had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and Wes decided to take the day off and we went to the zoo. We just love the Santa Barbara Zoo and she hadn't been there yet. She loved it and asks to go back all the time. When you ask her what her favorite animal was she says "the ducks." Silly girl. She really loved the monkeys and the lions. It was a beautiful day out, I don't think we could have gone on a more perfect day. We then had a little pumpkin painting party at out girls small group. Most of the kids dressed up and they all looked so cute. I just love having these girls in my life. Soon there will be 5 adults and 10 kids, almost all girls, so far just one boy on the way! The kids picked out pumpkins and then finger painted them. They all loved it. Next, Avery and daddy carved pumpkins. She loved it. This year she really understood the concept and really wanted to get in and help. Finally, on Halloween our neighbors had a party and we were invited for dinner and Trick or Treating afterward. I was so impressed with how she did. She walked around collecting candy for almost an hour! She kept up with the kids pretty well. She said "trick or treat" most of the time and always said "thank you and bye-bye." Lets just say she won a lot of peoples hearts, especially her mommy's. What a fun month it was.

Isn't it great! I love how 'old' they are getting! Sophie said "m&m - treat" :) She's growing up so much. I've always wanted to go to the SB Zoo - someday!

She won my heart too! I love her costume! It's very unique and darling! I love this age! I love when they start to catch onto things. She is a smart girl! I wish so much that we could all be doing these things together. Julien was talking about her a lot today. The boys adore her! Miss you guys so much! You're a great mommy!!

It is so amazing to see my beautiful granddaughter grow so fast through this media of technology. I can't imagine seeing her growth in 6 months intervals without these great photos along the way. So miss y'all.
