More October Fun!

More October Fun........

On Saturday we had our annual Fall Festival here in the neighborhood! What a great event. There is so much for families to do. We had beautiful weather and it was a successful event!

Aunt Lis came to help with Summer since Tom had tennis, I was helping to run the event, Mom was running the Bake Sale and Dad was volunteering as well. Summer only wore her bow for a short time so here's one pic of her with it on!

Yes, this isn't my classiest picture but had to be put on here. I have been working on the Fall Festival for over a month and once it was going well I felt I had earned this beer! Of course I couldn't drink it all but it was amusing to have as I ran around organizing things. I am just glad it all went well and it is over! LOL :)

Summer was an expert this time as she rode the pony. She would smile and giggle!

Emmy is trying to show Summer how to be gentle. It didn't really work out and we quickly had to get Summer out of their to protect the bunnies. :)

She would grab and squeeze them while shouting "Meow Meow".

Here Summer is waiting for the balloon man to make her Meow Meow.

Mom, Aunt Lis, Summer with her Meow Meow and Gail at the bake sale.

Bounce House fun! Summer is just getting the whole jumping thing down and loved it in the bouncy house!

Week of Excellence at Gymnastix Training Center
Here is Chloe, Addison and Summer with their Mommy's. It's had to get these little ones to stand together!

Here's the girls again but Summer is being held by her teacher Ms. Lisa.

Summer got her certificate and walked across the "stage". She really love her gymnastics class and has started doing tumbles and jumping. Her favorite is still the bar! We are excited to start Session 2!

Summer and I had Noah over for a morning and we had to run an errand. I turned around and they both had books and were reading away. So sweet!

Noah reading!

Here Noah is helping Summer put the right shapes in. Noah is 2 1/2 and Summer was fascinated with all the things he could do.

Summer is watching some Sesame street. I don't even know how she got like that but she stayed there long enough for me to grab the camera!

I thought this one was super cute!

See you next week! There will be lots of Halloween costume pictures!

October Fall Festivities! October 1st-17th

Happy Fall Y'all!

It has been a busy start to the Fall season this October! Wait to you see what busy Miss Summer has been up to. It's been a lot of fun and she is wearing her Mama out trying to keep up with her! :)

A sneak peek at Summer's Halloween costume. This is a picture I had taken and then changed a bit to send out to friends and family. She LOVES her costume. She threw a fit when it was time to take it off. I am trying to teach her "Woof Woof" but she kind of blows air and then just resorts to "Meow Meow". Oh well, at least she likes her costume!

This past Sunday we headed to Burt's Farm. There is a picture below where you can see how crowed it was. OH MY! We had a blast though. This is actually at the end of the day after Summer picked out a Cinderella Pumpkin and a blue one and is sitting on them having a drink and a rest!

She loved the scarecrows!

Tom would place Summer in the middle of the pumpkins and snap lots of photos of her crawling out! When you flip through the camera it looks like a flip book of her moving across the pumpkins!

This is soooo much fun!

See-ya! I am out of here. LOOK at the crowds of people!!

We ran into the Cardillo Family as we headed to a Fall Festival in a neighborhood near us.

They had hot air balloon for tethered rides. Unfortunately they we running late for getting them up and going and it was very very crowded so we did not get to go on one and really weren't able to do much at this Festival. It was fun to see the balloons though.

Another day, another fall adventure!

Here Summer is petting rabbits that she kept shouting "Meow Meow" at. Bunnies don't really make a noise so it's a hard one to teach her a sound. I just tell her what they are and that they hop. She loved them though!

This Fall Adventure was at the small little pumpkin patch near our house. Summer and I took Emmy and her friend for Emmy's birthday. The girls really did have a great time. It was a lot more fun then I expected. Plus we were the only ones there so it was great. Here is Emmy with her friend Haily after the pony ride.

Emmy on her pony!

Emmy would chase this piglet and catch it. The piglet would squeal and squeal. It was pretty funny to watch the whole thing!

Petting a "Meow, Meow"-I mean bunny! :)

Summer loved the ponies and wasn't afraid of them at all. Of course I had some various hair pieces for her that didn't go over very well! It's worth a try!

September-16 months

So believe it or not I have been doing one post a week this past month! I just had a lot to catch up on. Here are all the other pictures from September that haven't been seen! Summer continues to grow and change. She really is trying to repeat lots of words so watch what you say. She heard me say, "Dumb, Dumb" and repeated that for a week. Opps! :)

Meow, Meow still tends to be her favorite. She also goes around the house pointing at her pictures and saying baby. You would imagine with all the pictures we have of her that's all we really here. She signs more when she wants to eat. It works. She still loves breakfast the best but is eating more and more. Don't know where it is all going but feel a growth spurt on the way.

Here's sweet Summer in September!

Enjoy! :)

I love this picture! I was only able to catch it with my camera phone but it came out pretty good. She was patiently waiting for a snack. So sweet!

Daddy was able to come join us for gymnastics one morning. Summer loved having him there. It was also teddy bear day so Summer brought Oatmeal, a Build-a-Bear that her cousin Hadley made her.

Summer and her friend Addison are in the same class. They hang together on the bar a lot but of course it is always hard to get a picture!

One of Summer's favorite toys is her Little People. Here she is lining them up on them up on the coffee table and then next she puts them in a bowl she found in the kitchen.

So proud! Look at that tongue!

Emmy mad Summer a car out of a cardboard box. Summer loved Emmy pushing her around in it!

Berry time! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries! YUM!

Summer found my sunglasses!

So I had to start getting Summer cups of ice water when I get a drink somewhere with a straw. She really likes my Starbucks Frapps but so far is happy with her water. Here she is already to take Daisy on a walk with her water, sunglasses and hat. She is a mess and always makes me smile! :)

Daddy and Summer pointing to each others mouths!

Vroom-Vrooms!

Summer loves to play with cars. Of course I had to find a pack with a pink one in it.

More Gymnastics pictures! She is learning to jump and really likes to "smash" the bug to jump off the spring board.
