Trick or Treat!!

We had so much fun this year! Reese insisted on being a purple princess in a dress that "twer-els". Ed, Reese and I joined 3 other families for Halloween fun!


First of many.


The whole crew.

Smile and say "sugar"!



Me: "Reese, what is the name of this candy?" Reese: Eyes wide, "It's me!!"


Happy Halloween!!

Late summer/ early fall

The weather is finally cooling (after a "hot" Colorado summer). Can you believe that Reese is big enough for a big girl bike?!? Her knees were hitting the handlebars on her tricycle. She LOVES her bike and wants to ride it every day when she gets home from school.


Ed took Wednesday off, so we took Reese to Anderson Farms. She loved going to the farm last year, and it was a beautiful sunny day this year. They have a 30 acre pumpkin patch and a 30 acre corn maze. Here is Reese trying out the kid maze.

Feeding the (very hungry) goats


Hate all that hair in her face, but love that smile.


On our way to the pumpkin patch via tractor.


Feeding Sam, the cow.


So many to pick from!





Needing some direction...


We finally picked out a Daddy, Mommy, and baby pumpkin, which are on our porch now. Reese wants to paint them before Halloween. More picture soon!

Dancin' up a storm!

Houston trip

Over labor day weekend, Reese and I flew to Houston for a girls weekend with Aunt Stephanie. Reese was a wonderful travel companion with no melt downs. She loved swimming in Aunt Steph's pool!


Feeding the cow at Old Mac Donald's Farm (really, that's the name)!


Patiently waiting her turn to ride Junior.



Reese: envied by all.




This poor woman walked Reese around the stable A LOT. She was so sweet, and Reese has been talking about the two since.



On the Ferris wheel at the aquarium in downtown Houston. Surprisingly, she was not afraid at all!


Girls weekend!!

Random Pics

Snoozing with cousin Caitlin (notice the bear is tucked in as well!)

 

 

Tough girl

Mt. Princeton, 14,204 ft

We didn't quite get to the summit because of weather, but had a great hike anyway.

July is gone?!

I know I keep saying this, but the days and weeks just fly by! We have had a lot of fun this summer so I thought it was time to post some pictures. Reese's school has a family picnic every July. Vern the train man is a tradition, and this year, Reese actually enjoined it. (lots of tears last year)


Little red caboose


We have a family pass to the zoo this year. The elephants are her favorite :)





The zoo train is a hit as well.
