Leaves!

I know my posts are short these days, but I have a toddler who is completely obsessed with me right now, and I am trying to stay on top of this Holiday stuff...oh, and we have a trip to Hawaii coming up. :) Plus...I know all you look at is the pictures anyways.

This past weekend Lilah and I spent a ton of quality time together outside, she couldn't get enough of the leaves. She kept calling the piles her swiming pool, and wanted me to put leaves on her face and cover her up. She also had to 'help', which meant she threw as many leaves out of the pile that she could and needed to use her rake to make her own pile.

Halloween

Halloween was a blast! Lilah has so much fun going from door to door collecting her candy. Well, at least until she saw a boy dressed as a skeleton with a mask (a 'bad guy'). Thanks Auntie Stephanie (and Grandma Ginger) for helping with the costume!!! Oh and daddy too for being her caddy!

I am not sure we will ever be able to top the costume from last year, but we sure have a lot of fun trying ;)

and...one more flash back. Lilah's first Halloween.

I guess it doesn't matter what you dress these little munchkins in. I love looking at all of the photos of them all dressed up!

Pine Tree Apple Orchard

It is a little strange to be at an apple orchard / pumpkin patch when it is 80 and sunny....but I am not complaining!! I remember our family trip last year to the Pine Tree Apple Orchard. This year Lilah was definitely more of a 'helper' :). We left with pumpkins in hand, treats for now and later and a child covered in dirt. I would call it a successful trip! Here are some pictures comparing this year to last...

I thought it was funny that the next two are so similar...

and....one year ago. YES, this is the same child...

Biker Chick

For all of you parents out there with kids 2-3, I HIGHLY recommend you get them a strider bike. Lilah loves hers. Although I think we all had trikes and learned to ride a bike just fine, their marketing is pretty clever...and a little hard to watch at times :)

Here is Lilah on her new bike after only a few tries.

Thanks, Grandma Karna, Auntie Chelle & Auntie Kara!

Thanks Grandpa Jim and Grandma Ginger!!
