Halloween

We went to Bob's Corn in Woodinville to pick out a pumpkin and enjoy some fall activities. Unfortunately, it was very rainy so our visit was a little short. 

Here, Evelyn is getting ready to go!


She got to see chickens and roosters.


... and goats


... and a horse!



Next, we picked out the perfect pumpkin.


To get to and from the pumpkin fields, we took a hay ride pulled by a big tractor.



Hot cocoa helped keep us warm!


Ah, back home to get warm.


Evelyn called it an early night, so she missed out on the pumpkin carving this year. Next year she can help pick out the pattern and play with the pumpkin guts!

Here are two tiny pumpkins that Evelyn picked out!


And finally, Halloween Day!




Here is a picture of Evelyn, Olivia (aka Dino!), Nate, and the pumpkin Nate carved. It was a little hard getting everyone to hold still and look good...









After the photo shoot at home, we go to church for a lot of fun! First, there is pumpkin decoration, story time, and songs.

But Evelyn was a little sleepy...



Here is Nate as a nerd with his decorated trunk.


Here we all are enjoying the trunk or treating and all the fun costumes!


Evelyn reached in to the candy bowl when we were not looking and got a little candy bar. She chewed through the rapper and ate most of it! You can see the ring of chocolate around her mouth!



It was a great first Halloween! We will se how she sleeps tonight with all the excitement and chocolate!

Almost 10 months old

Evelyn will be 10 months old tomorrow! Double digits. We just can't believe how big she is getting, how smart she is, and how much she has changed our lives.




Thanks to Bill and Allison for the Duke onsies!






She loves to make this crazy face- especially when I pull out the camera!








Evelyn went on her first airplane ride this past week! She and I went down to Georgia to visit my parents. It was such a fun trip- lots of showing off the baby!

Here she is at a BBQ.




And here she is hanging out at Grandma and Granddaddy's house.


She loved this car!


 We stopped by the Pumpkin Patch at my church to let Evelyn see the huge pumpkins! Thanks to Lynn for the very cute Halloween shirt.











She even got to pick out a pumpkin that was just the right size for her!




 She got to visit with Granddaddy...


Maw Maw... (her great grandmother)


Jeannette... (her great aunt)


Kenneth... (her great Uncle)


and Great Granddaddy!



 We also got to visit with Laura, Ben, and Max Lilly! Thanks for the pictures, Laura!



We both had such a good trip!

Her tenth month is going to have some more firsts for her! First Halloween!
