Halloween Fun!!!

It's pumpkin picking time!

Cousin Lauren and Tyler were so excited to show us their favorite pumpkin patch that Lauren's been going to ever since she's was Sara's age! We had so much fun chasing each other around the huge open field, admiring the huge pumpkins, and taking pictures with one another!!!

The next day Grandma and Grandpa took us to a Halloween festival! Eric had a blast meeting all the blow up Halloween characters, and Sara had a great time playing in all the pumpkins!

The adults had a great time trying out some of the best cupcakes ever created!

Both were such a perfect way to kick off Halloween!!!

And She's Off!!!!

Two Wednesdays ago, October 19th, the Mrs. decided it was time to give her knees a bit of a break! She put those adorable little feet of hers to work and took off walking!!!

It was our last night in our apartment before we made our official move into our home. Being there for the very short amount of time that we were, we didn't expect to make very many memories. Sara however, decided to give us a wonderful one!

Prepping to take her first steps! What balance!

And she's off! She loves this new way of getting around! She giggles each and every time she takes off! She is so proud of herself, as she should be!

Being the silly girl she is, she even decided to make a game out if it! She'd walk to the couch, and proceed to plop on the floor (instead of walking back) knowing we'd get a laugh from it! Silly girl!

What a wonderful night we had! We are all very proud of you baby girl! Especially your brother! To this day he says, "Look at Baby! She's walking!". We love you! Now you can finally put your cute pink sneakers to use! :)

Party Time!!!

Things may have been a bit busy lately to post about Sara's birthday party, but things definitely weren't too busy to celebrate her birthday!!!

Last month we were so very excited to celebrate Sara's birthday with everyone! And the feeling was mutual! Upon our arrival at Auntie Lisa's house, cousin Lauren had this card up and ready for Sara's arrival! What an amazing cousin!

It wasn't long before the excitement of everyone being together showed!

We spent quality time hanging out with each other relaxing on the couch! Nobody however, relaxed more than the birthday girl herself! What a perfect way to enjoy a yummy bottle of milk!

Pool Time! Who says to wait 30 min. after eating before going in the pool...not us! Sara had a great time splashing poolside with Grandpa and cousin Lauren!

Amazing Auntie Lisa cooked and baked all day long to make Sara's birthday that much more special! Not only did she make a delicious dinner for everyone, but she baked a cake made special for Sara! As well as a cake and whoopie pies for everyone else! Thank you soooooo much Auntie Lisa!!!

A 7 year old, two 2 year olds, and a newly 1 year old, can sometimes be a wee bit loud under one roof. What better way to help your ears from hurting...simply put on your construction hat!

We couldn't wait to put Sara in her special Princess dress, so that's exactly what we did! She enjoyed crawling all around in the grass, while cousin Lauren got to catch lizards! Eeeww!!!

It was then time to head inside for some yummy cake! However, we didn't have anywhere for the birthday girl to sit. Grandma and Grandpa to the rescue! What perfect timing to open their gift..a booster seat! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! It's perfect!

Sara's speical smush cake!

The Mr. couldn't take his eyes off the prize, but first...

Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear Sara! Happy Birthday To You!

Her very first wish has been made!

After our tummies were full, it was time to open gifts! Sara loved each and every one of them! Literally! She hugged her cloths that Uncle Paul and Kelly got her, she hugged her doll Grandpa got her, and did her loving coo at the school bus cousin Lauren and Tyler got her!
