More Fall Festivities

Wow, I have had a busy week and a ton of pictures to share with you! We finally got to Stoney Ridge Farm and pumpkin patch and it was a beautiful day...couldn't have been better! Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Jim came over and we celebrated a very special birthday with Grandma. We had a few parties, and boy I love birthday cake and candles! I always enjoy their visits and that means I get to spend more time with my cousin Maggie too! We went to the park together and played in the pretty fall leaves. Just so you know...I do not like the camera these days. The snapshots you see are my parents tricking me to smile. I get frustrated with my mom who has the camera out way too frequently! Oh well, here is the load of pictures, I hope you have some time!

Pumpkins? Are you sure?

Crouching down to see the goat.

Last week I was an octopus, this week I am a scarecrow

A little help please?!Ok, you got me mom. A cute picture!

Collecting leaves

Maggie helped me fill it to the rim!

Mom tried to get some "staged" photos in the fall leaves at Boulevard Park. We tried!

Are we done yet? Maggie and I really want to swing!

Racing sticks under the bridge

Party number two...cupcakes this time around. Mmm...frosting!

Fall Laughs

I was being a bit bossy and my mom was joking with me and said, "Yes Ma'am!" Well, I thought it was just too funny! Notice where my boots are...I love to kick them off on the swing.

Seattle Aquarium

On Saturday we went down to Seattle to meet some of my parent's college friends and my brother's Godparents. I got to see my friend Aubree, which I haven't seen in a few months and we sure had fun. I had never been to the aquarium and really liked all the fish and sea animals. The touch tank was great and after the aquarium we even got to go on a merry go round, just like in Spokane. Oh, and don't forget the ice cream! Mmmm...homemade banana ice cream!

Are you ready yet mom?

Aubree and I waiting in line to go in. The parents are paying and we just can't wait!

I sure missed you Aubree!

Finally, we are in and this is what we are greeted with....a huge fish tank!

The touch tank. I needed Dada's help but it was fun!

The Dada's and their girls!

Otters are the cutest!

I'm getting use to this....giddy up!

Mmmmm

Fun Fall Activities Begin!

I haven't updated in a while but Fall is here and so are the fun fall activities! My Auntie Joanie came up last weekend and ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) with my dada! I got up early to cheer them on and sure had fun playing with my Auntie. I enjoy splashing in the mud puddles, chasing leaves, eating apples, and am looking forward to picking out some great pumpkins soon.

Inspecting the water...the biggest puddle on our street is in front of my house!

Running to the mailbox...I like to race with Mama (that is as far as we go ;)

Look at these! I don't think it is this cold yet guys!

Good Job Dada! He ran soo fast! (Really! He set a personal best!)

I'm proud of you two! Someday maybe I can run that far?

Hangin' with my Auntie

The rest of these pictures are from the Cloud Mountain Fruit Festival. We tasted some delicious fruit, watched how they make cider, and ate carmel apples. Mmmm! I even got to decorate a little pot, plant a lavendar plant, and paint a little pumpkin.

Beach Video

Just had to leave you with a few videos.....

The Beach!

We spent 3 days at the beach on the Washington Coast. My Papa is retired from the military so they rented a really neat beach front house at the naval resort and we had a blast! My Great Aunt Colleen and her husband Pedro also came up for a night. When we got there we had "beach weather" but the next day the sun came out and people were actually swimming in the ocean! It was hot! I loved the sand on my feet but didn't enjoy the actual waves from the ocean. I would run the other way and scream when they crashed in. My favorite part of the sand castles was wrecking them so I don't have a castle to show you, but I did fly a kite with dada! I am sure you know how my mom takes pictures so it was a challenge for her to post here and believe me, there were many more! I can't wait to go back! Enjoy the pictures....

We left early Sunday so we could make it in time to watch the Seahawks. I am ready to cheer on the team!

Go Hasselbeck!
Constructing then destructing!

Sorry?
