Trunk-or-Treat and Carving Pumpkins

Last Friday, my ward had their Trunk-Or-Treat for all the families in our neighborhood. As you can see, I am a cow. Aren't I the cutest cow you've ever seen! It was quite chilly but my costume kept me warm and cozy. I walked around the trunks, but didn't collect any candy. My adoptive mom said that I couldn't eat it yet, but next year will be lots of fun! I saw all the candy the they were handing out to the other kids. I can't wait!!!!



Now, I am just chilling with my adoptive dad, handing out candy to the other kids. It was pretty fun. We ran out of candy about the time that I spit-up all over my adoptive mom. Good timing, huh?

On Saturday, we carved our pumpkin. My dad did most of the work. He wanted me to touch the gooey insides of the pumpkin. I didn't think they were all that entertaining. Maybe next year will I'll enjoy them more. We carved our pumpkin at my adoptive grandparents house and then had a BBQ. I, of course, was only allowed my bottle. It was Yummy! :)

Just hanging out with my adoptive mom while the guys are carving pumpkins. My adoptive dad's brother is trying to take a picture of me smiling.... This is the closest. I don't like to perform so when the camera comes out, I am done smiling and laughing. It drives my adoptive parents crazy..... but isn't that really my job?

I'm Growing Up!


On October 9th, I discovered that I had Feet! And the best part is -- they can go in my mouth! It's amazing and so much fun. My adoptive mom laughed at me the first night that I got them in my mouth. I puckered up my mouth, looked at my feet and then stuck them right back in. They didn't taste so bad after that.


On Friday, my adoptive mom and her best friend, Mischell took me and Mischell's kids to Engh Gardens to take pictures at their pumpkin patch. The wind was blowing and I didn't like that at all. I was the party pooper because I didn't want the wind blowing or the sun shining in my face. My adoptive mom did get a few pictures. What do you think of my Halloween costume? Pretty cute, Huh?


Here I am with my new friend, the orange pumpkin. Can you say -- Smile! -- :)

Saturday morning, I was in the swing playing with my toys and the next thing that my adoptive parents knew, I was sound asleep. I must of been pretty tired, because I fell asleep right on my toys! I'm silly, huh?


Today was Stake (Regional) conference. Here is the dress that I wore. Aren't I cute as a button? I really liked the dress, the material was all new and felt kind of strange. It's fun to wear because I feel like a princess! :)

Four Months..... Wow!


My adoptive mom took this picture a week ago, but forgot to post it. I've been occupying her every moment the last few weeks. If I'm awake (which I am most of the time now), I want to play! Can you believe that I am 4 months old.... Look how big i've gotten...

More pics from Michigan

Here is Matthew.... He is about 4 months older than me, but he really liked to steal my binkie. He didn't want to use it, but he liked to take it out of my seat. I think he is jealous of my hair -- he would try and pull my curl if someone wasn't looking....


Here is my adoptive dad, Charlie, and Aunt Sharon making apple pie. I didn't get to try it, but everyone else said it was yummy!


Here is Matthew and Charlie playing with me. They were funny and made me laugh. Here they were playing peek-a-boo and talking to me. They sure were fun!


My adoptive dad and Uncle Seth went to the Michigan game on Saturday. After we picked them up, I was so tired, that I just crashed. I got to sleep in my cousin Matthew's crib. It was really comfortable and I slept great! It was so nice to sleep. All the talk about the game wore me right out!


I hope that you all had a great week! I loved my visit to Michigan and hope that I get to go again soon! Sweet Dreams!

Lots of Fun in Michigan!

Here I am waiting in the SLC airport for our plane to board. I wasn't sure what to expect on the flight, but I was excited. Yesterday, Romeo (our dog) chewed through the straps on my car seat, so my adoptive mom had to find me a new car seat. Boy was she mad at Romeo.... it was funny! :) We left in the afternoon and flew all night to get to Detriot. It was midnight EST time when we landed, and by that time, I was sound asleep.




The first day that we were in Michigan, we went to the Ford Rouge Tour. It was fun, but the factory was really noisy. I had a bottle and slept through most of it, while I got wheeled around in the stroller. Here's a picture of all of us - I really enjoyed being the Charlie and Matthew. They are tons of fun.... :)


On Friday, we went to Erwin Orchards and picked apples with Aunt Sharon, Charlie, Matthew, and my adoptive parents. We had a good time. It was super hot, but everyone enjoyed eating the apples. Too bad, I can't have them yet, they sure looked good. Uncle Seth couldn't come because he had a presentation at school. We missed him. So we made sure that we took him a pumpkin doughnut and some apple cider.


At the orchard, I got to ride on a tractor that pulls wagons to get around the orchard. It was fun. I didn't like the breeze in my face, but there sure where a lot of trees!

Here is my cousin Charlie. I am not sure what he is doing, but he talked the whole time that we were picking apples. He made everything fun - even in the heat....
