Halloween 2010 CiCi & Papa's House

Rodger, Amy & Ary - CiCi & Papa's house

We thought this was funny in the beginning. Ary of course loves cake. However, bright blue frosting comes out the other end blue. Not so cute then...

Out for a ride in Papa and CiCi's neighborhood. Ary was just getting good at her bike at this point. She had to really lean back to pedal but was doing a great job.

Ary and Momma.

Halloween 2010 Granny Ann's House

We decided to go to Leavenworth for Halloween. - Granny Ann's House

Pumpkin toss

Ary & Daddy

Granny Ann & Ary. Thanks for the kittens Ron!

We brought some options with us but then saw this at Walmart and couldn't resist. Plus it was really easy to wear with a coat since Halloween in Kansas is cold!

Ary & Momma.

Thanks for the purse and mittens Gale. It's a good thing the purse is little becuase it's so cute Momma would like to use it.

Ary ready to go.

Ary and Daddy.

This was the first time we had taken Ary trick or treating. She was confused and would try to give people candy instead of taking candy. It made everyone chuckle.

When she realized that people were actually giving her the candy she started to run toward houses because she was so excited. It was hilarious.

Pumpkin Carving October Fun 2010

Our church small group came over to carve pumpkins during the first week of October. Unfortunately I can't find any pictures of the finished products! Brian, Madison & Becky.

Rodger took this not because we were roasting seeds (though he is famous for food pictures) but because he wanted to include the newest member of our family and my belly bump in the picture.

Our friend Brett came for a visit in October. Somehow this is the only picture we took. Brett Tucker sure loves you. He wishes we would let him relax on us like this!

October 22nd. I wish eating yogurt was this fun for me...thankfully this was a bath night.

Making dinner September 2010

Every night Ary likes to 'help' make dinner. Admittedly sometimes she is less than helpful but she at least has fun even when I'm not as enthusiastic. This was a pizza night.

I always hope that if Ary helps she will be more likely to eat. No such luck so far. As she's making something she will say "Yum, yum. Looks good Momma" but then won't even try a bite when it's time to eat. Oh well, we can only hope.

September 2010 Anniversary

For our anniversary Rodger found a cabin in Near Monarch Pass for us to stay at and relax. The bad news was that we were both very sick. We decided to go anyway because we figured it would be more fun to be sick there than at home. We were right. While we didn't do much besides sleeping all day and watching movies but we did get to walk around the complex and take a short hike.

The complex was really pretty. It had great sidewalks for Ary to ride her tricycle. She also loved this bear and wanted to 'ride' it every time we would walk by.
