Teddy's haircut

My cousin Teddy got his first haircut ever, so I wanted to share it with the world.

It is so short, but it is really cute!

Incidentally, this is also his 'Brokeback Mountain jacket'

Halloween stuff

I found out that I don't like costumes, I didn't go trick or treating,

and I didn't eat much candy at all. But I still had a great time this Halloween!

Hating on Teddy's Ratatouille costume...
I wouldn't even consider putting on my pumpkin costume

Teddy also hated it too.

Lauren in front of the giant Scooby Doo

Although I am scared of costumes, I was not scared of the giant skull (go figure?)

Neither was Lauren

Nor was Teddy

Teddy as Spider-Man

Lauren as the Pink Power Ranger

Grace and I also went to the Highland Park Halloween event
where we rode a train, a pony, and went on a hayride

We also went in a jumper for the first time.

Last weekend, we took Carole to see Grandpe and then we went
to Baba (Auntie Rebecca)'s house to carve pumpkins.


Lady (Lauren's dog) is the only one who likes to wear costumes

Grace's Baptism

We went to my friend Grace's baptism last Sunday.
I had a really good time in church and at the party afterwards.

Me, Grace, and Sophia (Grace's godsister)

At the party, Grace and I played with some stacking cups.

We also gave each other kisses:

Adventures with Lauren and Teddy

Some fun things we did recently in between taking Grandpe to appointments (Feel better soon!)

A day at the Nature Center and the library

We had some time after one of Grandpe's medical appointments, so Mama took me to the nature center. We saw a bunch of the animals that were in the cages and then we took a nature walk.
Later on, we went to the library with Da.

Costco adventures

Since our next door neighbor got West Nile virus, we have had to stay inside.....a lot.
I went a little stir crazy, so my Mama and Da took me to Costco,
where I proceeded to run around and around.

I smelled some pretty flowers. I kept grabbing the orchids
and trying to run off with them, but Mama caught me every time.

The squirrels get to play with my outside stuff way more than I do.

I kept trying to snag this juice, but they also wouldn't let me have it.




They did, however, let me push the cart...
which had five 40-pound boxes of cat litter in it.

I finally met my match when they added 80 more pounds of cat food!
