A week in pictures

I NEED to get better about taking and posting these pictures so this week I tried to take one picture a day. I had 6, but I think blogger only lets me do five at a time. Enjoy!

Keira helped me out what pictures to post. She chose this one of herself in pig-tails. Even though you can only see one of them.

We also had church directory pictures this week. So we practiced with different hairstyles. This is what we came up with for Thursday. SUCH a cutie!!

One morning I found Keira upstairs being super quiet. So I had to go investigate. This is what I found. She had a whole pile of books sitting by her side and she was just reading!!

Testing out some halloween candy :)

She still loves these cowgirl boots :) Don't they go great with yellow PJ's? ?

Halloween 2009

Ok, Ok so I'm finally getting these up as well!! Here is our SUPERGIRLLL!!!! Keira had a blast with this homemade outfit. The shirt, from Daddy who got it before Keira was even born. The skirt, cowgirl boots, stockings (you'll see further down) are all hand-me-down clothes. And the cape and mask are made by yours truly. Like 5 min. before our first trick-or-treater arrived at the door. Keira loved handing out the candy to the kids the first night (yes we have kids come two nights in a row around here) - "more kids? More kids??" and then second night we all headed out as a family to trick-or-treat. Daddy had her practice quite a few times until she got down exactly what she was supposed to say. Well she did great at home! But in front of the neighbors she got a little 'door-shy.' Ohwell, she still had a great time!!

She loved the boots!! A little hard to get around in at first, but then she didn't want to take them off!

Super Girl!!! This is her pose as she's getting ready to take off! :)

"SUPER GIIIIIIIRRRLL"

Ok. Seriously, look at all the lollipop's that she has in her hands. Yeah, one kid definitely got most of these before I could stop her from putting them in the bag. She's so generous!

This was taken just before we hit the streets to go get some goodies. It was a bit nippy out, but at least not raining like the night before. Happy Halloween everyone!!

Paw Paw & Mimi visit

I am so behind on my posting. Need to catch up!! - - Last week my Dad & Martha were able to make a quick visit out. Here are some pix from their visit.

Ooooh look! A ladybug! And Keira is actually holding it! I think at one point she also squished one between her fingers and that didn't even faze her.

Look Mommy, look!

And of course what are grandpa's famous for!? The 'balance on my hands and then flip you' trick :) So here we have the balancing......

Paw Paw concentrating hard....

And WHOOP! Down she goes. Keira loved it and got the biggest kick out of it. She wanted to do it 'some more.'

Weekend at the zoo

Most of you have seen the pictures on facebook of these two little ones having fun at the zoo. It's funny that we basically got the same pictures, but here's my version!! We worked with Todd & Kelli to try and get together most of the fall at the zoo and it finally worked out the very last weekend it was open. Next year we'll have to look at getting a season pass or something. A picture that I didn't get that I was bummed about was Keira on the merry-go-round. She, as usual, started out terrified and freaking out, but by the end didn't want to get off. She wanted to go again! Ohwell. She'll get used to these things right?? Enjoy the pictures.

Keira and Bailey chillin' in the train. That's Daddy's hand w/ his new iPhone!!

Hey, let's explore this thing a little bit!

Hi everyone!!

Peek-a-boo I see you!

Making some noise on the drums. Yaaaaay!

Keira's Birthday

We also celebrated Keira's big #2 birthday!! Hard to believe two years have gone by already. I started off the morning by getting our breakfasts together and while doing that I told Keira of the morning we went to the hospital. It was fun reminiscing the story of her birth, she just kept saying "mmhmmm." Like she was really listening but someday it'll stick. Then we were off to church, home again for lunch and a nap then it was Elmo Birthday time!!! She loved, her Elmo birthday cake made by a great friend at church. Keira also got some new toys(!) to play with. We had a great time and thank you to all for the birthday wishes!
Daddy & Aunt Chell worked hard on putting together the kitchen set from Nana. Now she can help mommy in the kitchen too with her own kitchen :)

And Aunt Chell got her some books and some yummy pretend food for her kitchen! Cheese!

Uncle Nate, Aunt Colette and Annika got Keira a bike. It's huge!! But will definitely come in handy when the weather turns warmer again. Here are the two girls hitchin' a ride together.

And last, but not least Granpa and Granma got Keira a stroller! Keira had a great time wheelin' around her baby the rest of the afternoon. Thank you again one and alllllllll!!! We love you!
