1st Halloween

We had your first Halloween last night. When we took you to the pumpkin patch last week, you wanted nothing to do with the pumpkins. This made daddy sad, but we got some pumpkins anyways and trucked on.

I tried to have you in your bumblebee halloween costume, but it seems I thought it was cuter then you did. It didn't last long. Your cousin Henry came over dressed as a pumpkin and Aunt Christie brought him to play. You played for quite some time. Kaden stopped by, dressed as a Ducks football player. You liked answering the door with mommy and seeing all of the kids. We did manager to keep a "happy Halloween" shirt on, so at least you were festive! Maybe next year we can get you into it more.

My first 4th of July.

Mommy tried to tell me what the 4th of July was about, and tried to warn me of all of these loud sounds I would hear after I was asleep for my bedtime. Some people came over, who I remember seeing before, and they all sat at the table and said "oh wow, that's good." I think daddy made something called ribs? They looked really messy, my kind of food! I got ahold of mommy finger later when she wasn't paying attention and got a taste of daddy's rib sauce. It was good! Mommy also went on and on about the first pie she's ever made. She's silly enough to have even taken a picture of it! I was asleep when everyone ate it, so I didn't get to try it. Mommy also put me in a pretty dress she said was 'festive". Everyone said they thought it was cute, but I just wanted to chew on it. Mommy is now going to post some pictures of my day.

P.S. I slept through the fireworks, and mommy said they were REALLY loud. But I was a good girl and just slept the night away! I must have been having a good dream!
