our dancing giraffe.

After trick or treating we went to our church for Trunk or Treating.  Ellee had a blast. They had a bunch of cars all decked out with Halloween scariness. And they gave out a TON of candy!  They also had a DJ and Ellee had so much fun dancing with her Auntie to the music.  I caught her on video shortly before we left.  So funny and cute!!! : )

Side note: At the end of the video Ellee's hat fell off.  I thought it was so funny because she was acting all concerned that it had fallen off her head, when earlier all she wanted to do is take it off.  Silly girl!

Oh, and all that dancing must have really tired her out because she was fast asleep minutes after pulling out of the church parking lot.  She went to bed in her giraffe costume.  I was told, you should never wake a sleeping baby! : )



trick or treat!

Halloween was so much fun this year!  My Mom, Greg, Sarah and I took Ellee trick or treating.  She didn't know exactly what she was doing, but she had fun!  It was so fun to see all the different costumes!  The first 2 pieces of candy Ellee got she held onto the whole time.  And she even carried her candy basket around. I'm so excited for next year!  Here are a few photos from our trick or treating adventure:

The cutest little giraffe EVER!!! : )

pumpkin patches.

If you remember last year Ellee and I attended a Mom's/Playgroup called Sprouts. Well this year's first outing with Sprouts (10/15/10) was to a local private farm called Silverbow.  Ellee was so much more fun to take this year!  She loved looking at all the animals.  We saw pigs, horses, mules and chickens.  She even got to pet a chicken!  It was so much fun to see her interact with the animals.
After playing with the animals we went over to the pumpkin patch and Ellee picked out her very own pumpkin!  She had so much fun!

Our pumpkin patch adventures continue!  That same weekend we made a trip down to Vancouver to see some friends.  We went to a local pumpkin patch down there and we had fun on the hay ride, playing in the hay and picking out a pumpkin!  Ellee had so much fun running around!

the wheels on the bus...

Go round and round!!!  Ellee loves to watch Baby Genius OnDemand.  The Wheels on the Bus is one of her favorite songs.  I caught her going Round and Round for the first time!  She is so much fun and she catches onto things so quick!!!

wordless wednesday.

I'm going to try this out.  I've seen wordless wednesday on other blogs and really like the idea.  It is a fun way to post a picture with out any captions.  I may not make it every Wednesday, but it will be fun trying! : )

doin' the puyallup 2010.

I heart the Puyallup Fair! : )  This year was more fun than last because Ellee knew what was going on!  She loved looking at all the animals.  She also enjoyed her first taste of the famous EarthQuake Burgers and Curly Fries.  We went with my friend Julie and we had a blast! : )

I think it has become tradition for Ellee and me to get our photo taken next to the big draft horse. : )

So much fun! 

play a latte.

A couple of weeks ago we had a play date with Lily at Play A Latte. Play A Latte is a fun, safe place to take your kids.  They have a TON of fun toys to play with and a bounce house for the older kiddos!  And, while the kiddos are playing Mom (or Dad) can sip on a yummy latte (my favorite part!) : )

It was much fun watching them run around!  Now that they can walk they are all over the place! : )

Driving the ambulance!

Lily wants a ride too! 

Concentrating on the wheel!
