Awanas Family Pumpkin Night

Cheyenne is participating in Awanas, Cubbies. This is her first year and she loves it! She goes once a week. She sings songs, does crafts, and learns bible versus. I love watching her grow spiritually. Hearing her sing praises to Jesus in her squeaky voice, is precious.

Last night, was family pumpkin night. We had so much fun!
 

Slide Time!

If there is a slide, within a 5 mile radius, Cheyenne will find it.

Fun at the Park

I almost forgot, I recorded this clip of Cheyenne at the park.

Playtime at the Park

If I would let Cheyenne sit in front of the TV all day, she probably would. And if she had a choice, she would watch Dora the Explorer from sun up, until sun down. Yesterday, I took her to the park to get her outside and moving. She loved watching the ducks. In fact, she loved them so much she tried walking into the pond on more than one occasion.


It was a beautiful day to be outside.

We decided this was the cool duck. Afro-Puff Duckie!

Sweet face.

One of her favorite things at the park, the slide.

And if you're going to do it, you might as well go head first. Wee!

Halloween Night! (2010)

I don't know about you, but I love how Halloween fell on a Sunday this year. It was like an entire weekend celebration. Friday: we went to the fall festival, Saturday: we meet up with friends to celebrate Chad's birthday, and then Sunday: we took Cheyenne trick or treating.

Here are some photos we snapped Sunday evening. Snow White and her prince. :)

Do you know how hard it was to get this photo? She did not want to take a photo with me :(
Trey finally convinced her and she forced a smile.

Look, the car from CARS!

We enjoyed walking our neighborhood. I'm telling you, our neighbors were unloading the candy! I guess, they didn't have as many trick or treaters as they anticipated.

Last night, Trey went through all of Chey's candy and organized it by category: yours, mine, give away, and everything else piles.

Fall Festival

Yesterday, Cheyenne and I dressed up for Halloween and went to a fall festival. Cheyenne went as Snow White and I decided to dress up as a princess. I wore a dress that I wore to winter formal sophomore year of high school. The dress is beautiful. Honestly, I just wanted an excuse to wear it. :)

There were so many people at the festival. Crowds of people! Our church had a booth out there and Trey and I volunteered to work it for about 30 minutes. By the end of the night we were exhausted and I barely had enough energy to put Cheyenne down for the night, so Trey took over. Thanks, sweetie! 

I think Cheyenne enjoyed the lollipop too much! Or as she calls it, POP! 

Pumpkin Eater

Mr. Pumpkin head is a mess and he appears to be eating himself. This might scare the trick-or-treaters. Is that mold growing in his mouth and eye?!?                                

                  

Pumpkin Carving

Last night, we carved a pumpkin.

Chey had to do a taste test.

She wasn't sure about this vegetable.

Daddy had to show her the guts!

Yummy. Who wants to come over for dinner?

She probably thought I was going to feed her the guts.

What else is in there?

Daddy! Don't show me that!

Notice, Trey is smiling...

Gross!

She tried to stab it with the carving knife.

Take that!

All done! Oh my, look at Chey's expression.

That's a little better, pumpkin pie, but next time don't hit him in the face.

I'll leave you with this photo.

Cheyenne at 11 Months

For a while, I've been debating going to a pumpkin patch. The main reason is because I can't find any local pumpkin patches. I didn't feel like driving over thirty miles to buy an over-priced pumpkin, possibly pay admission to walk around, and take a few photos.

I asked Heather, one of our neighbors, if I could prop Cheyenne in front of her outdoor fall decorations and take pictures. Heather didn't mind and she even helped me get Cheyenne's attention.

And you know, it really looks like she's at a pumpkin patch! This picture is my favorite because you can see her two bottom teeth.

First Day of Fall. First Cold Front.

Yesterday, a storm rolled through and today we have a nice cold front.

I couldn't believe these clouds and I had to take a picture with my cell phone.
