Halloween 2009

Halloween is so much more fun with a baby! Apparently we liked Em'ry's costume more than she did. We tried it on her several times leading up to Halloween in hope of getting her used to it before the big day. Every time she cried and fell over like sumo wrestler who can't get up. It was hilarious.

Not until the Halloween party at the babysitter's did she decide it might be okay. She saw the other kids in their costumes and wanted to wear hers.






By Halloween night, she was so happy to be a monkey!













Our neighborhood goes over the top for ALL Holidays and it was so fun to walk around, see the decorations, and trick-or-treat.

Check out the kids in the background!

Em'ry didn't get to eat much candy but she loved this cherry tootsie pop! Too bad it gave her a terrible rash :( I think she would say it was worth it!

All tuckered out!

Fun to have Nana and Papi here!

The Swing is a Hit!

We have been meaning to get Em'ry a tree swing since the end of summer and it is finally up! A few weeks ago we found the perfect pink swing and hung it in our front yard. Em'ry loves it! Any time we are outside, she points and yells to get in it. She loves to swing high even if it makes her grandparents nervous ;)



















Before we even had a chance to get it up, Uncle Corey and Em'ry had to try it out. She cried when it was time to get out!











Mimi and Em'ry had a blast in the swing while I whooped up on the boys in a game of HORSE in our driveway.











"Swing time" has been added to our daily routine. As soon as we get home from school, Em'ry lets me know what she wants. If its too late or too chilly, she will stand at the front door and look at it through the window. And, did I mention she screams (a happy scream) at it! hahaha So cute!

Dewberry Farms

After we went to the first pumpkin patch we heard about Dewberry Farms. It is a pumpkin patch, tree farm, corn maze, and petting zoo all in one!

Oh, and did I mention the old school carnival activities? Here she is waiting to ride the barrel train.

It was so neat!
