Halloween Flashback

Since I didn't have the blog when SKV was this age...I thought I'd do a SKV Halloween Flashback.
Her first Halloween-as a cow

Moooo

Visiting Grandma-sure do miss her. SKV has found pictures of her recently and asked who she was. I remember Grandma always saying to her "You won't remember me." Well, my job is to make sure she does.

First porch picture at Uncle Keith's...there are a lot more kids these days!

hahaha-favorite picture...Addison was a skunk-it appears as though she sprayed SKV!

Trick or Treating

We started off the night with a trip to Uncle Keith and Aunt Emily's for our annual Halloween picture. We missed the Freemans this year, but hopefully we'll all be available next Halloween!

It's never easy taking the pictures...and apparently it isn't easy smiling for them. But man aren't they cute!

Our second stop was Mama's. SKV was counting our trips for us...this was our second she noted.

ECV was reaching out of Mama's arms...Mama gave her a piece and she plugged that baby right into her mouth.

Third on our route was Gran Mary and Papa's.

Followed by Mama Cox's house...

angels singing right? I don't even know what they were doing but it's funny.

Our final stop was Uncle Josh's house. We made him our last stop in hopes that Aunt Jill would make it home from work. She didn't-doh! Apparently Halloween is not a holiday she gets off...maybe next year. :)

Of course SKV wants to feed Gui treats before she gets hers. Yummy raisins for the little fella.

Cheese!! We missed you Aunt Jill!

...We started our "treating" after daycare...but those pictures are on Mommy's phone...they might make it here one day. :)

Trunk or Treatin' It

For the second year we headed to Grandma and Papa's for some Trunk or Treating. Talk about lazy trunk or treaters...when I was growing up you had to get in and out of the car 5,000 times if you wanted a haul of candy. These days folks line up for the kids!
Here is Sus and Sidney Kate...SKV is the one trying not to be scared. Susu also let SKV have her pumpkin crown-she loved it so much she wore it to church the next day.

The blanket matches the outfit...and no she isn't a dragon :)
Our fish "Flounder" (That's Ariel's best friend ya know!)

We weren't able to get our porch picture with the Freemans and Venables-so we made sure we got together at the Trunk or Treat. Derek and Carter were soooo sweet! They ran up to SKV with their masks off so they wouldn't scare her. Talk about thoughtful kids (and parents)!

Pictures with Grandma in front of her newly painted and stressed fireplace.

She always wants to hold her-and she's so very good at it!

Who knew fish could sit?!

Boo!

Our little Boo!

Do they get any cuter? I could just eat her up in the mornings, so sweet and cuddly!

Here is Sidney Kate in the same shirt...oh how time has flown by! I loved her morning hair-always disheveled.

Today we got BOOed! Oh the fun of getting BOOed!
Someone surprised us with a treat at our doorstep. Our mission was to BOO 3 other kids. We had soooo much fun doing this! After dinner we got bundled up and snuck out into the night, via a vehicle, and BOOed some friends. New tradition to add to our list!

Awww

Happy Birthday GG!

For GG's birthday we had dinner at our house. After dinner we had the bright idea of taking pictures with the kids-best idea ever! I mean really...these pictures are hill-air-e-ous!
Check Rylan's grin...

hahahaha!



Imitation of the kids picture...hahaha

This was is perfect...wait...Kevin, where are you looking?
:)

Around the House and Halloween Fun

This picture cracks me up. ECV spends "much" of her time with her mouth wide open. This was taken on one of GG's Thursdays-Mommy's favorite day of the week!! The girls get quality GG time and Mommy can clean up a bit.

Sunday we hit up a few Fall festivals around town...instead of wearing her mermaid costume we decided that Rosetta would be a good option.

And of course Rosetta wears cowboy boots!

Then we got out of costume and headed to our church's Fall Festival. It was the most fun ever! Daddy played a game of capture the flag and then we all particpated in other fun events.

Embree Claire go to hang with Grandma and Papa. When we returned, we found out that she had given them her teething symptoms...running nose etc. :)

Go App!

I know right...uh-dora-bull!
Crystal McCraw gave SKV this hat and with all of this chilly weather, I thought it was time to bust it out for ECV.

She looks like a true Mountaineer...just give her some hay to chew on.

Just a little sweetheart!

6th Months!

I'm so happy to watch Embree Claire grow, but I'd sure like it to slow down a bit.
Here she is - 6 months and so stinkin' happy!

She can roll, twist, turn, flip and flop.

She can blow bubbles, say "eye eye eye eye" and other coos and baby sounds.

She can squeal, grunt and scream.

And smile...the girl's smile can just melt your heart-and make you want another one.
