Happy Halloween!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect Halloween! We started the day with Lauren's class parade and then went trick or treating tonight with Abby and Liam. It was SO much fun! Lauren loved being Minnie Mouse!

Halloweekend!

Lauren got in a little practice for Halloween this weekend! On Saturday we went to "Boo at the zoo" and Lauren got to practice her new favorite line - trick or treat!"

Today was chilly, but we actually spent a lot of time outside - we went to the park with the Coens this morning and then spent the afternoon with Grandma Di Di. Lots of fun!

We are really looking forward to Halloween! Lauren is also gearing up for her big job next weekend - flower girl for Uncle Brent's wedding. I hope she does okay! She has been telling me for a few days - "no flower girl!" I think we may have to brib her with treats or something...

Fun with Grandparents!

It has been a busy and fun last few weeks! A week ago we had family pictures with Grandma Di Di - I'm so excited to see the photos, it was a beautiful fall day and I think they will be beautiful. Pictures coming soon...

This weekend Lauren and I went to Nebraska for the last wedding shower before the big day! Lauren practiced her flower girl walking - I hope that she will do it on the wedding day. Either way, I'm sure she will look adorable!

Here are some pics of her with Grandma and Grandpa and also a shot of her in front of her new doll house at Grandma's house. The house is beginning to resemble a toy store, and Lauren was in heaven! :)

Pumpkin Patch

It was a beautiful (but cold!) fall weekend. We have been REALLY busy the past few weeks and have barely had a chance to spend time as a family. So we really made up for it this weekend and had some great times.

We went to the "Red Barn Farm" on Saturday with the Coens. Lauren LOVED it. She was cold, but in heaven. She picked out pumpkins and rode a pony named "Pistol." She has been talking about it ever since. We also stopped by the Weston Applefest and Lauren enjoyed a corndog and apple dumplings!

I am really looking forward to all of the fall traditions - cool weather, Halloween, football, and family!

Enjoying the pumpkin patch!

Apple dumplings are the best!
