Halloween 09

Yes, these are Halloween pictures, but mommy is trying to get caught up before we need to post Christmas & baby pictures! Even though my favorite color is yellow, I liked being a red m&m - one of my favorite candies!

Shopping Twips

"Hey mommy, I'm going to go on a shopping twip." "Where are you going" "Chicago". This is usually where I go when I get my purse or bag and go shopping around the house. We went there on vacation awhile back and I remember it all the time. One day, I went to mommy and said "Mom, come see what I bought on my shopping twip!" She came to my room & I had taken ALL my clothes off the bottom row of my closet! Good little shopper I'd say! At least I laid them all in a nice neat pile and left most of the hangers on!!

Rambo

When daddy's t-shirts get worn out, he cuts them up for cleaning rags...the tradition of headbands started when I was about 6 months old. He doesn't quite have the right idea, but i look cool!

My "New" Big Girl Bed

So for a long time, I've been ready for a big girl bed...mommy & daddy had been shopping around trying to find a good buy and good quality so I could keep it for a long time. Mommy really wanted to get me white furniture...daddy really wanted to buy something from Slumberland. All they had was off white and not many choices, so here is what we did: My "new" bed is actually mommy & daddy's old queen size bed and they got a king bed. I absolutely LOVE my big girl bed! It's SO big!! I didn't sleep very well the first night, but now am used to it and still like showing people my new bed when they come over. Mommy would really like to paint and hang things on the wall, but daddy says no since we'll be moving. I don't care though - I am happy with my new room and the nursery is now ready for my new baby brother or sister! And as mommy is typing this - it will be here in 1 week!!! Yay!!

Daddy's Favorite Shirt

The first weekend in October, mommy & daddy took a "babymoon" to Pittsburgh, PA. She bought daddy Steelers tickets for his birthday - he's been a Steelers fan ever since he was little, so going to a game at Heinz Field was really exciting for him. Mommy also took daddy shopping several times on their trip and daddy found this jersey for me. The following weekend, mommy went on a shopping trip with some of her friends and daddy dressed me in this outfit for church. Mommy had originally picked out a different dress, but when daddy said I was wearing my new jersey, she put it with a white jean skirt and some black leggings underneath. Mommy thought it turned out pretty cute! Daddy even did my hair!!!

Camping

For Grampa's birthday present this year, mommy & aunt Becky wanted to take him camping. In September, they went to Wolf Creek. Just the 3 of them went on Friday night then on Saturday - me, daddy, Jeremy, & Gramma went over and ate lunch and then played some games. I really liked playing in the tent...we had a lot of fun!

Dad's new hat

Showing off daddy's new hat from the Farm Progress Show...I think we made it home with about 5!

Yet Another Cardinal Game

I was pretty excited to see Fred Bird, but I didn't like him touching me!! However, during the game, I kept asking where he was!

My Best Friend Turns 3

As most of you know, Aubree is my best friend and she turned 3 on Sept. 6th. She had a big birthday party at her grandma & grandpa's lake with lots of friends & family. We had so much fun...I took a nap on the way there so I was in a pretty good mood all day. We ate a great meal, had awesome flip-flop cookies, got some candy, watched Aubree open presents, played outside (when it wasn't raining), and took a boat ride. The boat ride was my favorite part - here's some pictures with me & some of my friends! We got stopped by a policeman, thinking we were in trouble, but he gave all the kids free ice cream cone coupons!! Sweet!!

Happy Birthday Rebekah!

Mmmm...Sweet Corn

Usually, every year we can sweet corn on Daddy's birthday, but this year we had to wait until August 14th. We spend most of the day at Grandma Jackson's shucking it, cleaning it, eating doughnuts, boiling it, cooling it (which is my favorite part), playing outside, eating it, cutting it off the cob, bagging it, and then daddy & all the kids have a water fight. This year, Brad brought over his golf cart and gave everyone rides. We have a lot of fun and I love Sweet Corn (as you can tell)!!
