Future embarrassing moment!!



This was just one of those things I had to get pictures of. Although it's really cute to me now that Lexi just had to wear those warm fuzzy brown boots with nothing but a leotard, I know this will be an embarrassing moment for her in the future. Just remember Lex, this was YOUR idea!!! At this point in time, she would wear these boots with anything and everything. They are her favorite shoe for now, courtesy of our little friend Alleigh (thank you Lindsey).

Pumpkin Patch



Lexi was really excited about getting to pick her own pumpkin. We had seen pumpkins at the store and I had explained to her she was going to go to the pumpkin patch, ride in a wagon, and get to pick her very own pumpkin. I wasn't quite sure she understood but I realized differently when it was time to actually do it. She was so proud of herself. She walked all around the field scoping out the right pumpkin. She tested out a few until she found just the right one. I think she ended up with the one in the third picture that was "just her size". Too fun!!!



Here are Lexi and NaNa at the petting zoo petting the horses. We had also talked about riding on a pony. I knew she would like to look at and pet the horses but I wasn't sure if she would follow through and actually ride one.




Well guess who was fooled!! This was her favorite part of the day. As soon as the ride was over she wanted to immediately ride again. She LOVED it and did not hesitate one moment to get on the pony. I was VERY surprised.




These are just a few shots I took before we were ready to go. We had to get pictures by the big wagon. They have it decorated so pretty & I thought it would make pretty fall pics!! This was Lexi's class field trip to the pumpkin patch and the first time she had been. I had not been in a while myself and forgot how much fun it was. It was VERY COLD but we managed to still have a GREAT time, thanks to NaNa's help!!

Happy Halloween!!!




Kaity - the Lady Bug -&- Kayla - the Disco Diva




Here are some shots of the whole gang!!



-----------OUR TWO LITTLE BUGS-------------
------This one is my absolute FAVORITE!!!-------

We went to "trunk or treat" at church on Halloween. It was a ton of fun - lots of games to play and even more candy!! I didn't get any good pictures from that because it was outside and it was just too dark. The pics above are before we headed out , while it was still daylight. I was just glad Lexi actually got to enjoy Halloween this year - last year this time she was running a fever and we ended up having to stay at home on Halloween night.

Lexi's Halloween Party at School



Lexi enjoying her party treats!!





These are a few shots with Lexi and her friends: Reese as Minnie Mouse & Anna Marie the clown. There is also a picture with her and her teacher Mrs Tiff & some of the other gang getting ready to trick or treat. Something they did that I thought was really neat was after the kids had their party snacks, they got to go around and "trick or treat" the other classrooms as well as a couple of other businesses nearby within walking distance. This kind of gave Lexi a heads up of what to expect that evening while trick or treating and it was a lot of fun for all the kids.

Sometimes we just cant let go!!






I guess Lexi likes her thumb so much that sometimes she cant even let go of it long enough to play. I thought it was too sweet that she was sucking her thumb while coloring and building blocks. Hey - at least I know she can multi-task!!

Coloring with Daddy






Fun times with Daddy!! Lexi absolutely LOVES to color and will recruit anyone to color along with her. I just thought these were a few cute shots of her coloring with her Daddy on a Saturday morning. Sweet as it gets!!

Reading Fun




I think its safe to say that Lexi enjoys being read to, as well as reading herself. I know most, if not all kids, like to be read to but I just thought these were a few cute moments to share.
