Boo!

We had so much fun on Halloween! 

We spent the day with family, and that afternoon Makenah got dressed up in her costume and trick-or treated at her MeMe and Papa Stucky's house. Uncle Blake and her Great Granna and Grandad were there too. 

What a cute little ladybug! It was fitting that Makenah was a ladybug, because since she was born, we have called her "Ladybug," and its continued to stick. 

This is one of my new favorite family pictures!

Bryan and Makenah with MeMe Debbie.

There is a ladybug on the trampoline...! 

...and behind the tree! :)

Bryan and Makenah snuck behind the tree and she was able to peek out at us. (See, I told you we posed her a lot of places!)

And with Great Granna and Grandad

A few days later, Makenah got to trick-or-treat again and show her costume to her Grandma and Grandpa Billings! 

And, here is Uncle Bear (Aaron).

What a Halloween experience, and what a cute ladybug! I'm so glad we got to spend some time with both families! Makenah was such a good sport getting dressed up--happy the whole time! (Even taking all the pictures!) Another "first" we've enjoyed together!

Teeth

I already shared that Makenah got her first tooth! It popped through on October 22nd. We could see the next one right behind it, and it showed up on October 28. I have been trying to get a good shot of them to share, and this morning I caught a big smile showing both of them! 

Even before the costume...

We spent last weekend in Garden City, and so we were there for Halloween.

We started documenting the day even before we got Makenah dressed up in her costume. 

Dads are so much fun!

Casey and Sarah...they play hard in the backyard together. Casey tries to get Sarah going. She used to just steer clear, but now she likes to run around and chase Casey back. 

Casey LOVES to play ball. Basketball and football are his favorites, and he gets really excited when it's time to play. 

During the course of the afternoon we took lots of pictures...family pictures here and there, Makenah sitting in one spot or another. You know, lots of poses. :) We got to the end of the afternoon and sentimental me realized that we did not include Casey in any of the pictures with us (he ran into a couple on his own though!) I got sad, and good-sport Bryan came outside for another picture of the whole crew. Ha! 

I like this one better, because it shows Makenah keeping her eye on Casey, which is what she is really into right now. She is always watching him, giggling or smiling at him, and when we say his name, she always looks around to see where he is. I think they are going to be great buds! 

If you can believe it, I have lots of pictures to share of Makenah all dressed up. :) So cute! 

Totally Awesome

"MY DAD IS TOTALLY AWESOME"

He sure is!

Lots of pictures to be posted soon! We've got some Halloween cuteness and dirt bike/4-wheeling adventures!

Pumpkin Patch

Nothing says fall like going to a pumpkin patch!
We were excited to be able to take Makenah to the patch this year on a beautiful afternoon. We went to Cox Farms here in Wichita, and had a great time checking everything out.

We decided to take the hayrack ride to the patch and pick our pumpkin there.

The patch was a very pretty area where you got to choose from lots of pumpkins. We didn't have to tromp through a field...they had done that part for us! I didn't know there were pumpkin patches like that! 

We picked out two pumpkins. One for Bryan and I, and one Makenah sized pumpkin! :) It was so much fun going as a family to the pumpkin patch. I love having new experiences with Makenah, and it is so cute to see her do new things! 

Figuring it out

We're going to turn around one of these days and Makenah is going to be on the move.

She's sure practicing crawling a lot lately. She'll get her little bottom up in the air, and she can push up...not too much forward moving yet. Just some swaying. She does seem to scootch backward though. :) 

She sure is concentrating! 

Getting ready to try again!

Such a happy girl!!
