Happy Halloween # 1

First costume of the day. Our little "Peanut"s.... Snoopy!


Now for some other random cuteness from earlier in the month:
Playing in the laundry basket with Daddy.
We love Rufflebutts!
Lucy's new favorite expression. She looks like a cross between Grandpa Tom and Uncle John in this picture!

Fall is in the Air!

Hooray for fall!


Yay for fall - the favorite season around here. I love fall up here by the Red River - there is definitely a change in the air already. Lucy is a mammoth outdoor girl, so we have been spending as much time as possible playing in the fresh air. Can't wait for the temps to dip even cooler - until then, Happy Fall!

Random cuteness:
Lucy looking at her reflection in the window. Thanks Grandma Jackie for the adorable outfit!

A pumpkin just my size!
Lucy did not like the pony rides at Depot Days in Gainesville (which is now a yearly family activity). Yet, she didn't mind when a huge golden retriever came up and knocked her over then licked her to high heaven - she laughed. Go figure!

Happy Fall Everyone! On our front porch - it was Daddy's idea to decorate (which made me very excited!!!).

Sunday Family Fun Day

I'm ready for Church, but I have to show Doggie Gus my shoes first.


Today was Muenster's 5th annual Family Day in the Park. Sponsored by the KC's and Sacred Heart's Unity and Fellowship committee, family day involves a plethora of free food, fun, and festivities leaving the majority of its patrons in a sugar-induced coma. We are no exception. Lucy, Cody and I met up with not only our Muenster family, but also shared the day with my sister and her bunch. From kettle korn to bounce houses, I can safely say a good time was had by all. Look here to find pictures from last year's fellowship.


Getting ready to ride the train with cousin Abby.
Riding the train with Abby, Sabrina, Sam, and I believe one of the Hacker kids (whom I am sure we are related to in some way).
About halfway through the train ride, Lucy got a little scared. Thank goodness Grandma came to the rescue!
Sammy waiting his turn to complete the obstacle course. Sabrina, not so much...
Chillin' between events.
Swing time!
Go Sabrina, Go!

More fun with Daddy!

"He's my hero!"

Ringling Father....

For your ring-side enjoyment:

Chores

Lucy has taken on her first household chore dutifully. Consequently, Daddy has taken to mixing his cardio routine now with strength training in the amount of 23 pounds.

Did August even happen?

August signifies back-to-school, which ends my free time entirely. I have been in full-on Language Arts mode for a month now, which explains the lack of updates (complex sentence - see, I can't stop!). Anyway, I finally got to downloading pictures last night, and thought I would give everyone their much needed dose of cuteness via Lucy.

Just like Mommy - starting the shoe obsession at a young age. She's gonna be a cowgirl, too, according to her shoe of choice.

Cody mowed Lucy's name in the grass. Hard to see b/c it wouldn't all fit in the shot, and we were losing daylight. Clever, nonetheless.

My "Little Brother" Luke trying out one of LJ's hairbows. I am so gonna post it on facebook... Sorry Lukie!




Enjoying a little sun-and-fun with a new pool float. Again, nice tan, Daddy.


Thanks, Grandma, for sending me my own stash of pictures to play with. I will cherish them... until they are accidentally shredded or eaten...
