Happy Halloween

We had a great day, except Grady is sick with a really bad cough. He had to stay home and get some love from Grandma and Nany. Kylie got to go to daycare and have a party with her friends. She decided that she didn't really want to dress up. The school party was a huge success and all my kindergartners loved the carnival. When we got home today, she was ready to be a ballerina. We headed to Ms. Katie's and then down the creek for some Treats. She really got into it and was asking if we could stop at that house. She would tell me "the light is on mom you MUST stop." We went to a total of 8 houses and that was enough for us. Ryan and Grady stayed home to pass out candy to all 4 of our Trick or Treaters. Happy Halloween! I get to stay home with my kids tomorrow and enjoy a relaxing day. I hope Grady starts to feel better soon, poor boy.

New Cousin

We have a new cousin. Samuel Wells was born last Friday, October 21st at 7:54 a.m. He weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. and was 19 inches long. We got to visit baby Sam on Sunday night. He is so sweet and such a cute little guy. Sam was great with all of the petting from Kylie. Congrats Allred family!

(Grady has a swollen lip in this picture, he was stung by a wasp that afternoon before we left to visit baby Sam. POOR BOY!)

Seven Months Old

Super Sisters Pumpkin Patch
Kylie cleaned out the three pumpkins for Dad to carve.
Grady helped by hanging out in his jumperoo.

Grady and Kylie before bed last week. This is Grady's face when Kylie given too much loves. They make us laugh.
Grady turned seventh months old. We have been busy the last couple weeks. We decorated for fall with corn stalks, and a wagon full of pumpkins, gourds, and Indian corn. We made a trip out to Super Sister's Pumpkin Patch. We have our pumpkins cleaned and now carved. We are so excited about Halloween this year. We are not sure what Kylie will be, she keeps changing her mind. Check back for our Halloween costumes and our jack o' lanterns.

Grady Six Month Doctor Appointment

Grady had his six month dr. appointment in Ellensburg on Monday. Grady weighed 19 lb and 10 oz. and he is 27 1/2 inches tall. He got five shots, including a flu shot. We have just been so busy and now Mommy is not feeling so hot. I am off to teach another day. I hope that today is the worst day of this cold and tomorrow will be better.

September Misc.

Grady turned six months on September 23rd. He is sitting up, crawling, and getting into everything. He has only his two bottom teeth. He is a happy, hungry, and sleepy boy. He loves attention and never misses a meal. Grady is a sweet baby boy who loves his mama, YEAH!
This is our EVERYnight. We have dinner and baths. The two of them are very funny in the tub. They love splishing and splashing!
This is what our playroom looks like everyday. It drives me crazy, but she is creating and loves to cut, glue, and color. She is working on her fine motor skills, right?
The Jumperoo and his high chair are the only two SAFE areas for him right now. It is a good thing that he loves doing his jumps.

We have had such a fun and busy month. I am in full swing with school. I love teaching, but the first month when they are learning all the routines, I always ask myself if I can make it through the day, week, or first month. Well I have made it, we are now in October, things are great and my kids are sweet. Kylie is in her routine of preschool and ballet. She had a great week and I think that she is now adjusted to the routine. They had a field trip to the apple orchard. (I will get a pic up soon.) She had a great time and picked a lot of apples. We have preschool pictures, Kylie's snack day, field trip to the pumpkin patch, and a Halloween party. It will be another fun and busy month. Grady has his 6 month check up on the 10th of October and we will be waiting to find out how much he has grown. He is just a big, strong boy.
