Did you know Halloween is a season, not a day?

Who doesn't love to squish pumpkin slime through their fingers...Cory and Kaylynn, that's who! I did most of the gutting, but Kaylynn did try so it was an improvement over last year! Here are some pictures of the carving fun.







We have had quite a few Halloween activities already. Kaylynn walked in the Trick-or-Treat parade down Main Street on Saturday. We also went to a party at her soccer coaches house on Saturday night and to "Boo at the Zoo" on Sunday. She got to wear her costume (guess what she is?!!) to all of those and has tons of candy already. Her are some pictures of the Halloween "season" so far...

Our princess:

Mommy was an angel, don't you think it is fitting?!


Boo at the Zoo with Nate:

This picture is for Grandma (the baby giraffe was born in August).






Kaylynn loved this baby monkey.


And Nate loved the train!!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!!

The big 3-0 requires a big celebration and that is just what we did! Cory and I cruised off to the Bahama's with my friend Steph and her husband, Tom. We had a wonderful time!

Preparing for any stray icebergs in the Caribbean!

Vacation, the only time Cory drinks something with an umbrella in it (or so he would like you to think)!!


Our boat: "Carnival Sensation"



In Freeport, watching more rain come our way!!


In Nassau:


Oprah's house on Paradise Island (that she has never been to - can I use it?!).


The required stop at Hard Rock.

Reminiscing our college spring break days at Senior Frogs...

The sun always has to set on a good time...


Thanks for helping me feel young again!

Princess playdate

Last weekend we finally had a chance to get Kaylynn and Lucy together to play. We met up at Osborn Farm in Loveland and had a great time. Since I forgot our camera, you can see some images here (Thanks, Jenna!).

After that, Lucy came back to our house and the girls magically turned into Princesses! They looked so cute and innocent.

But don't let that fool you. Even Princesses can play football (tackle to boot)!!
