Pumpkin Patch

Our neighborhood had a Pumpkin Patch on Sunday, so we decided to get all the babies in their costumes and take some pictures. . Each pumpkin was $10 for charity and the kids got to paint them. Very cool. I don't think these pictures could have come out any better. Enjoy.



Cheese!!


Orey was not too thrilled to be a pumpkin in 90 degree weather. Oh well it made for cute pictures.


Kaley painting her pumpkin. It turned out all different colors. It's our only Halloween decoration. Looks great on the front porch. She's very proud of it.


Haha. This picture cracks me up.


Orey, the pumpkin, on the look out.


My sweet little Lil. Had a lot of fun at the pumpkin patch. Very excited for Halloween. More pictures to come.

Fall Fest

Kaley's school had a Fall Festival on Friday, and it was an amazing Austin suburb spectacle. They had a cake walk, jumpy houses, games, food, a petting zoo, an auction, ice cream and my favorite fresh made kettle corn.

Kaley spent most of the time looking for her friends that she promised she would see there. Here are a few of her friends. Grant, Jake, Kaley and Jude. My three favorite boys in her class. So cute.

When Kaley finally gave up on finding all her friends she spent the rest of the night in the petting zoo. Here she is holding a baby chick.

Mommy doesn't do petting zoos especially after seeing a little girl get pooped on. Plus it was so sad seeing the animals hover in a corner to hide from all the grabby hands. Every time a kid picked up the poor pig his squeal could be heard from a mile away. Bordered on animal cruelty.

Kaley, believe it or not was very gentle and sweet to the animals. All she wanted to do was feed them. She did however beg for a pet chicken all the way home.

Meanwhile, Flo was determined to win the cake walk. He finally beat all those Elementary kids and won some chocolate chip brownies as his prize. They were delicious, but Kaley was a little upset he didn't get a cake.

More Pictures

So sorry it has been so long since I posted. I will try to get better. We haven't been up to much, but here are some pictures for you. Enjoy!


She is such a happy girl.

Look what I found her doing. She is pulling up on everything. Loves getting into the trash can.


Love this pic. She loves Kaley pushing her around. Lily loves her big sis. Kaley is constantly making her laugh.


My little Rattler.


My little Lil. She loves Brady's toy.


I can't believe this is the only picture of Brady I got this weekend. He's such a sweetheart. Love him.

Pictures and Videos

I just uploaded some really cute pictures and videos I wanted to share. Here they are:

She sure knows how to pose. She also knows how cute she is.


Kaley was sitting on the floor eating an apple when Lil crawled up in her lap and tried to steal it from her.


Grandma gave Lil a lemon for the first time. It didn't seem to faze her at first.


Then the sour hit her.


We went to the Domain the other day. It's a really nice mall that reminded us of Cali. Mom liked the chairs.

So cute.

Our Little Mover

Lila has begun crawling. Ahhhh, and I didn't even teach her how. She's only 6 months at the rate she will be walking at 9. Oh Lord help me.

It all began as rolling and scooting and then seriously like the next day it was a full on crawl.

Yesterday I sat her on the floor with Kaley when she was playing Wii so I could cook and then I hear, "Mom can you come get Lily!" She had crawled to the Wii box and was pushing all the buttons. I told Kaley this was just the beginning before long she's going to be in her room messing with all her toys. I don't think she believes me.

Not only is she crawling and sitting up, but she is also pulling up. Flo put her bed to the lowest and this is still how I find her after her naps. She looks too small to be doing this. Kaley seemed so much bigger when she was pulling up. She is so strong, there is no doubt she is going to be an athlete.

Kindergarten

So Kaley girl started Kindergarten yesterday. She was very excited. Last week we went and met her teacher and found out that 4 out of the 5 kids she knew going into Kinder were in her class. Even the little boy next door who she stalks. I've heard her teacher is very nice and the kids like her but a little disorganized. haha That's Kindergarten Mommy talk.

At Kinder Camp they were given a homework assignment to turn in on Monday. They had to make a cutout of themselves with things that describe them. This is Kaley's project. She is wearing a swimsuit, fishing in one hand and holding a picture of her and her sister in the other. Flo and I wanted to put a fajita in her hand, but she wanted a picture of her Sis. She also decorated her feet to look like her new sparkly Sketchers.

This is Kaley on her first day. I am so lucky that she doesn't care what she wears or how her hair is fixed. I still get to doll her up. However, she was very insistent on what shoes she wore. She really wanted the new Twinkle Toes Sketchers for the new school year. They are bright colored and covered in peace signs, bling and glitter. Plus they light up. She's crazy about them. The good thing about having our little neighbor boy in her class is that he can spy on her. I made sure to tell him to let me know if the shoes become a problem in class. He promised he would tell me. As my mom used to always say, "I have spies everywhere."

Kaley was very good when we got to school. She went right in, found her cubby and her seat and began her assignment. As I left her class and passed several crying Mommies I began praising God and singing Hallelujah. It was a nice and peaceful first day of school. I'm very proud of my Boo. She loved school and was very excited to go back.

Lily Turns 6 Months

My little Lilliana is 6 months old today. Wow how time flies. I need to find a way to slow it down. I also can't believe summer is almost over. I have to admit I am looking forward to Kaley going back to school, but not Flo. It's been so nice having him home for the summer. Now, here's a little update on how Lil-la has been doing:



When Lily was first born 6 months ago with a full head of dark hair and a tan she looked a lot like her Pepa Gonzalez. We were a little worried at first.


She has changed a lot since then.


She is always smiling, especially when you get her out of bed in the morning.


In addition to milk she is trying some new foods. She loves spinach, broccoli, bananas and of course...


peaches!!
Lil-la loves her peaches. Flo enjoys giving them to her because she seems to be a Daddy's girl whenever he is holding a peach. If we are holding Lily and eating she wants what we have. She is constantly trying to grab food out of our hands. I have a feeling she is going to have a love affair with food just like her sissa.


Lily is also beginning to sit up. She likes to sit on the floor and play with her toys, but only if Mommy is close by. She is becoming a lot more mobile and will probably be crawling or walking soon.



Happy 6 months Lil-la. They have been so much fun!!
