Happy Halloween!

Wow, for the first year ever, I 'understood' this whole Halloween-candy-gathering thang. It was fabulous. It was awesome. It was yummy.

Visit to the annual "Arbooretum"

No, I did not mispell that! Our local arboretum has an annual thing right before Halloween. It is called the Arbooretum on that day. That's a pretty cool temporary name, huh? Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highlight pictures are below. There were lots and lots more cool activities there though. And, some of my best friends (Margaret and Emily) went with me!

They had the coolest petting zoo ever! Here, I am feeding a starving llama some hay. He was very appreciative. He told me so.

This photo is us going down the trails in the woods. There were all kinds of stops along the way, with neat-o Halloween fun stuff.

In the end, I was tired. I got sick of carrying my candy bag, so I hung it around my neck. Was pretty convenient and left my hands free! (Oh yeah, around my lips is chocolate. I'm not growing a mustache or anything. ha!)

One more thing - look at my shirt!! :)

Redheads have more fun!! (says Ariel)

Who needs barrettes when you got this gorgeous mane of RED hair??

Pumpkin Festival

How fun! I went to a pumpkin festival today. They had all kinds of cool stuff to do. What'd I do? I got my hand painted, rode a hay ride, fished for (magnetic) pumpkins, did the pumpkin "toss" game, and rode in a train! But my very favorite thing was painting pumpkins!! A couple of pics are below. Omigosh, I am SO artistic!

Latest Professional Shots

** These are recent adorable photos taken on 10/21. Note: Mommy had to scan the prints, so that's why quality is not optimal in some shots. But you can at least get an idea of how they turned out!! In most, I am wearing my Halloween costume for this year. **

"Non-costumed" photos. Still super cute.

'Bye! Hope you enjoyed all my new pics! :-)

Can you tell I like barrettes??

Fun with my friends at a "farm"

Nana & Pappaw arrive, bearing gifts

This weekend, my Nana & Pappaw visited. When Nana's in town, there's sure to be lots of fun, excitement, and toys! This visit, she arrived with a car packed full o' fun! For instance, everyone knows how much I love Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I received (surprise!) an Ariel outfit! I wore it most of the day, all around town. Great fun!

Oh, and Nana also brought a couple of wigs. One was a long curly blonde wig. The other was a fiery crop of red hair like Ariel's.

GUESS WHO ELSE wore a wig briefly? (hee-hee)

Saturday night's event was dinner to celebrate Mommy and Daddy's anniversary. I was extremely good that evening. Of course, M & D usually pack the necessary tools that ensure peacefulness. See below. :)

Here I am watching (what else?) Little Mermaid.

Family pic. :D

Fall begins!

I love the fall season! With it comes *hope* of cooler weather. The tree leaves turn pretty colors. I shop for a Halloween costume. And pumpkins are everywhere you look! Fun, fun, fun!!

New! New! NEW!

I'm talkin' about a new bike!!! Finally. No more trike. I'm a big girl now!
