Fall Is In The Air

Fall has officially arrived and a chill is in the air. But that hasn't stopped us from doing fun things still! We recently visited Bob's pumpkin patch and corn maze. It was great fun!

Little pumpkin with a big pumpkin!






Into the maze we go!


Shortcutting


With the cold weather I've discovered these great things called pockets!


Apparently these things keep your hands warm too


My friend Matt and I met for a playdate at the mall when the weather turned yucky

First Day of School!

Today was my first day of preschool - I'm in the toddler program at Crystal Springs Co-op which I love! They have lots of fun toys, activities and a great outdoor play area! I can't wait to go back next week!


Getting ready for my first day

Around the house


I have a great time in my tent - I bring all my stuffed animals in for parties


Enjoying a plum off our tree


I LOVE my new winter coat! I didn't want to take it off!

The Greatest Show On Earth!

This weekend we went to the circus. It was amazing! I loved every second of it! I sat completely still for an entire hour! We also got to see some of the performers up close before the show which was really cool!


Me and mommy


The jugglers at the pre-show were fascinating!


This guy sure is tall!


Introducing the ringmaster


The ringmaster


This guy rode right above our heads!


Motorcycle Ball of Death - This was amazing! There are only four motorcycles in this video....at one point they added three more for a total of seven!


The tigers doing their performance

The Fair!

This past weekend we went to the Evergreen State Fair which was a blast! I saw lots of animals like horses, cows, chickens, and goats. I also got to sample yummy treats and check out all sorts of games. I can't wait til next year when I'm big enough to ride the rides!


Waiting in line for some goodies


Cheese!


Watching the horse show while snacking on popcorn


I liked the pony ride some of the time...


...but some times I just wanted down!




I LOVED the motorbikes!


Can we get one? PLEASE?

Summer Vacation

This month we went on our first family vacation to Eagle Crest just outside Bend, OR. It was SO much fun! Beforehand we stopped by Nana and Papa's for a couple of days where I got spoiled as always - thanks again for a fun time Nana and Papa!!

Eagle Crest

This was our house in Eagle Crest - I even had my own room!


We went for a walk every day on their trails


They had a great big basket of books I played with every chance I got!


We even went for a bike ride - I was excited at first but once we started moving I wasn't a big fan so we didn't go too far


Our last day we had deer in our backyard!


And a rabbit!

Newberry National Volcanic Monument

Daddy and me on a hike in a lava field


There were squirrels everywhere who wanted to eat my snacks!


We also saw a couple cool lizards


Family photo op!


We drove up to the top of the volcano to see the views but I was scared of the wind so Daddy stayed with me while Mommy checked out the scenery



At the state capitol
On our way home from our vacation we stopped for a rest in Olympia


Checking out the ceiling inside the capitol

Little Mother

Kelsey has become very attached to her dolls and stuffed animals lately. She LOVES to give them hugs and kisses and constantly cuddles with them. She's even protective of them if Kona or Riley gets too close. The other morning she was sitting at the table pretending to feed her baby. While I missed catching it on camera I did catch her talking to and playing with her baby.


I love taking care of my baby!


I love hugging and cuddling with Kitty. She goes everywhere with me!
