Halloween 2012

Thanks Uncle Richie and Aunt Mia for my cute Tinkerbell costume!

Swung by GG's to say Trick-or-Treat

My 1st Trick-or-Treat!

Score!

Getting a hug from the Hulk (Ryder)

Daddy and Annelise couldn't wait to eat the suckers!



Annelise had her first official Trick-or-Treat experience without help!  She started with cousins Liam and Audrey for a little bit.  After that we took her to the Trunk-or-Treat at Garden Christian with friends Ryder and Hadley.

Pumpkin Carving

This was the only time she enjoyed grabbing the guts...once she realized it was slimy, she wanted nothing to do with grabbing

Annelise had a hayday carving pumpkins.  She did not like the slimy feeling of the inners, but loved taking the spoon and digging!  And don't worry, she was supervised by an expert with that Pumpkin saw!

Good form, but it's just too heavy!  "DAD!"

"I want these 3"

Thanks Mom and Dad!

This weekend, we went to the pumpkin patch at the Country Mercantile outside of Pasco.  They had a small petting zoo, hay towers, tractor ride, and of course pumpkins.  Oh ya-lets not forget that scary corn maze that about made Jayme go into labor!  Annelise had a fun time and picked out all three pumpkins for the family.  Her eyes were a bit bigger than her muscles, however, as you can see her attempting to puck up the princess pumpkin.  Halloween, here we come!

Annie's New Bedroom

Annelise got a new, bigger bedroom for her 2nd birthday!  As you can see, she fell in love with it before it was even finished.  What a great helper!  The black square on the wall is magnetic paint that can be written on as a chalk board.  She's already using the clothes magnets Nana got her. 

Oh ya, did you notice the pattern on the sheets...ya that's right, we got us a cute little redneck girl!  Gretchen Wilson would be proud!  Not to mention a future Coug!

Annie's 2nd Birthday

Annelise turned 2 last Thursday on the 20th.  We had a small celebration at home that night, but the big party was on Saturday.  We had a lot of friends and family come wish Annelise a Happy Birthday, and I think Annelise enjoyed it!

Potty Training Success

Jayme spent the day isolated in the kitchen/dining/bathroom area teaching Annelise how to use the potty like a big girl.  After 2 1/2 accidents, Annelise has been accident free, using the big girl potty 13 times today! Thanks Mommy!

Potty Training Today!

Potty training begins today!  It couldn't have happened at a better time, because last night Annelise went pee pee in her potty by herself.  Mommy got brave and put her in panties afterward-turned out to be a mistake because Annelise decided to use those panties for number 2!  Oh well we're all on a learning curve here, and hopefully after today's training there will be few accidents.  Good luck Mommy!
