You'll LOVE this video!

Well, I'm behind on blogging -- I have lots of pics to post from October but... I can't do that right now. I just had to post the video from tonight. We were eating dinner, and I decided to give Kate some noodles, and I started singing a silly song, and Kate ... well ... you'll see!

Visiting the Dandies--a quick weekend getaway

Kate and Mommy took another trip together...to go visit Carolyn's sister. Kate was a superstar on the two airplane rides on the way out there! yay! It was a special occasion as Carolyn's nephew, Jude, was getting dedicated. Jude's super adorable, and getting so big! He's barely 5 months old and can hardly squeeze into the 3-6month clothes (whereas his cousin, Kate, wore this size until she was about 9-10months! We went on neighborhood walks, played at the park, and went to storytime and the neat-o Fayetteville library.

University of Arkansas campus -- loves crunchin on those fall leaves!

Jude: "Ahhh, it's exhausting being this cute ....."

Halloween 2009

We have some friends who've been passing down all their daughter's clothes to Kate...very sweet! We even got her Halloween costume -- a bat. When I saw it in the bag of clothes, I thought -- naa, probably not...but then I put it on Kate...and well, it was stinkin' cute! So yes, Kate was a cute little black and purple bat this year, and I put together a silly bat costume for myself too! Well, then I actually randomly found some doggie batwings and couldn't resist buying those soooo.... there were 3 batgirls in the house ... until Tiana told me that she was going to a Halloween party and she picked up a real, live batgirl costume...and viola! 4 batgirls!!

We went to a little Halloween event at our gym on Friday night, and then down to Old Colorado City on Saturday afternoon (which is becoming a tradition -- 2nd year in a row) with our friends, the Hellands and the Flights. It was like 70 degrees out that day... an absolutely gorgeous fall day!

Denver Zoo -- free day!

Well, it sure was a cold day, but we ventured up to Denver anyway to enjoy their monthly "free day" at the Denver Zoo.

21 months on the 21st!

It only happens once!
... then, let's see, 21 YEARS on the 21st. Well, that won't be until 2029!!

Going to Sunflower Market in the crazy snowy cold weather -- on my birthday

mmm, the produce guy gave me a banana & didn't even know it was my 21-month birthday!

snowfall for the day!

Pumpkin Patches Galore!

I'm pretty sure that this is going to be the record year of all years for the number of pumpkin patches we've visited. Kate really enjoys them, and we've been going every weekend! First, we went to one out at Rock Ledge Ranch (next to Garden of the Gods) with Tiana. They were having a Harvest Festival. Then, we went to TWO pumpkin patches outside of Boulder with Lynda. Then we finally went to one with Daddy -- located up in Elizabeth, CO (about 45 minutes NE of here).
