GO BRONCOS!

We had our first Halloween "event" on Wednesday night. It was Danelle's first ever trunk-or-treat!
We took a leap of faith by ordering her a Denver Broncos cheerleader outfit a year ago... hoping that we wouldn't be ashamed to have our daughter wear it come NFL season. Thank goodness Lane is a loyal fan though and a 6-0 start is nothing to be ashamed of!!!

Good flashback of when she got it here !

She was a little confused and overwhelmed at first...
But with the help of her buddy Ky, she figured it out and this was the moment the light bulb went off... "they're giving me candy"
By the end, she was sugared up and worn out!3 more Halloween events left to go!!!!

Catching up

We did another visit to the Children's Museum this week. They also had a guest singer that did music time and she totally looks like a groupie at a rock concert in this picture. She's singing along to twinkle twinkle little star.... :)

She did not want to leave the train section.
Mommy's little helper.I had been shopping around for trampolines for her Birthday/Christmas gift...
BUT I found a free one on Craigslist and although we wanted a little bigger and with the net, can you really argue with free?

It's small enough for our playroom and she has been lov'n every minute of it!
Finally, these are my latest sewing/craft projects.

• Tote bag
• Another apron for Danelle (can't have to many)
• Necklace for Danelle (she can't break this one) it's fabric, and plastic balls, with knots tied between them.
• Flannel board/chalkboard. (Didn't your mom have one growing up!?)

Family Photos 2009

OH YES- it's Lane's favorite time of the year... no not fall hunting. Fall family pictures. The one day the whole year where you get to wake up extra early on a Saturday, get all dressed up, and try and pose in uncomfortable positions with a squirmy 1 year old.

Now you have to just wait and see which one we pick for our Christmas card this year!

Living with a Toddler

"Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he/she can tell when they're in trouble.”

She can be so destructive sometimes... this week for example...

Exhibit A: pulled the video ipod off the counter, landed on the tile floor, screen doesn't work now.
Exhibit B: Used something (still not sure what) to scratch & chip the new bed in our room.
And yet.... she's always finding new ways to make us laugh and smile!

She also says "please" and "thank you" more than any other child i've met.

Fall in small town Texas

Monday night we visited the local pumpkin patch and let Danelle pick out her pumpkin.
After that we headed over to the Soda Fountain shop in town. Very cute, very quaint, and good malts!
On another day the local fire dept. came to visit our neighborhood. Danelle is in love with trucks (add it to her list with trains and buses)...More fun fall festivities to come...
