Sadie Update

I know. She's HUGE (comparatively speaking)! So cute, though, right?!?
Love her!

She Can Be Taught!

I did it! I learned how to embed! Yes! So, if there was something I promised a video for, and I was lame and couldn't make it work, it should be there now! Have so much fun!

Prepare for Cuteness OVERLOAD! AKA Halloween at the Schwegler House

Halloween. The crowning jewel of October. We were really excited for the Halloween festivies. T's school does classroom parties and a parade. Our church does a trunk-or-treat/chili cook-off. And of course, the real event.

Thursday before Halloween dawns. T wakes up, and tells me she feels too crummy to go to school.

Uh-oh.

Her school had been doing Red Ribbon Week (anti-drug awareness) all week at her school and that day was "Wear Red Day" and T had the cutest red dress to wear. She was sooo excited. So, to miss it...big deal. Poor baby had a fever, cough, stuffy nose...with all the horrible stuff going around I was worried we were looking at two weeks of illness.

Well, she had to miss "Wear Red Day," her classroom party, the Halloween parade, the trunk-or-treat...I was so sad for her. B got to go to the trunk-or-treat, though! Check out my cute Alexa (she's a princess from Barbie's Diamond Castle. She is missing the perfect crown I found to compliment the costume that somehow got misplaced because someone decided to play with it before Halloween...sigh. But, she still looks way cute.)

We got second place at the chili-cookoff, too! Way cool! Nice work, honey!

Thankfully, T's illness was not the horrible bug I was anticipating and her 103 fever was completely gone Saturday morning. So, she got to go trick-or-treating after all! Yea! Here's my super-cool, way gorgeous Hannah Montana, and Tinkerbell (because B wanted a change, and she can.) Brace yourself for possible cuteness overload. :)

Haunted Barn of Lena

So, I don't have a single picture of this, but Sam and I decided that after a space of seven years, it was finally time to have a haunted house experience again. So, we rounded up some friends, got a babysitter, and headed off to what is the reputed BEST "haunted" experience in the area.

It was an hour drive both ways, and it wasn't that scary at all, but it was fun. It was great to get out, be with friends, stay up way too late for recreational purposes, and just do something adolescent. :) By the way, this thing had nothing on what they've got in Idaho. But, at least I didn't get grabbed this time. Followed, yes. Grabbed, no. :)

Man, I love October.

Random Fall Delights

Pumpkin Patch

I love fall. It is such a fun time of year. I especially love October, and pumpkins, changing leaves, pumpkins, the cooler weather, and pumpkins. And I love pumpkins, too. :) So, going to the pumpkin patch is a total must for me. We had fun going and picking some out with our good friends, petting the cute animals at the petting zoo, watching the kids romp on the hay maze, and eating some yummmmy pumpkin donuts! Good times. Here are some of the shots from the adventure.

I love, love, love this picture.

B was sooooo excited to pull the wagon. It was too, too cute.

T and her sweet buddy, F.

Our haul. Yeah, baby!

On top of the world!!

I also have this darling video of T talking about how pumpkins grow, but it's long, and I still don't know what I'm doing with that. Once I get it figured out, I will add it.

Thanks, C family, for coming with us! We really enjoyed ourselves!

UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE

HAHA! I think I've finally got it figured out!! Woot!

Love My Girls

Half-Time Show

So, here's the actual cheer clinic performance at the sophomore half-time show. If you knew how much better our sophomore team was than our varsity, you'd realize what an honor it was for these girls to get to perform here.

I love how T is so intent on watching her daddy film her that she's not really paying attention to what she's supposed to be doing. :) She's so stinking adorable. She recently announced that she plans to do this again next year! Yea!
