FULLERTON, CA - Happy Halloween! Tonight I put my purple fairy costume on and took Jake around town to shout things at strangers and have them give us candy.

We started at the church Harvest Party. I got to play games, decorate a pumpkin, pet some animals, jump in a bounce house and run around with friends. Jake got to sit in his stroller. Be patient, little fella.

After that we headed over to Aiden's house for some pizza - and then it was out into the night to see about some sugar. Morgan and Lindsay met us a little later so we could finish up trick-or-treating with them.

Once we got back to Aiden's house, we got to frost and decorate some cookies - it really was quite a night! I hope you all had as much fun as I did...

LA HABRA, CA - Sean and Anna invited us over for "pizza and pumpkins" tonight. We met lots of friends there, had dinner, and then carved pumpkins. Actually, I'll be honest, the daddies did most of the carving. I lifted the pumpkin onto the table and chose the design (a kitty-cat), but left the grunt work to dad. I was too busy playing with my friend Isabelle to worry about scooping the pumpkin seeds out.

After the pumpkins were done, we had some celebratory cupcakes and then lit all the candles. Thanks for carving my pumpkin, dad! It looks pretty good, even if you did do it backwards...

FULLERTON, CA - Tonight at the library they had a special edition of "Bedtime Bears." We got to come in our costumes, hear spooky stories, sing songs, decorate Halloween cookies and pick out some books to take home. I had a lot of fun! I went as Belle - I'm saving my Fairy costume for Friday night - and met some other princesses that I got to hang out with.

I had a great time. Thanks for taking me, mommy!

FULLERTON, CA - Mommy and daddy's Sunday School class has a costume party EVERY year. Last night was the big event, and I'm always up for a party, so we went. The theme was "Get Your Game On," which meant you could be dressed as any kind of game - sports game, board game or whatever else you could think of.

We went as Angels - even little Jake had a red jersey on. There were lots of kids there and we even got to play a BIG game of duck-duck-goose in the gym after we were done eating.

It was a really fun party! Thanks for setting it up, Mrs. Bridgeford & Mrs. Orr!

CARLSBAD, CA - My friend, Aiden, invited us down to LegoLand today! I had never been, so I was excited. They had so many fun things to do there - there were lots of fun rides, cool legos (of course) a water park to cool off, and even some cars to drive that were just my size. We had a great day there - maybe we'll get to go back soon!

FULLERTON, CA - We went to a carnival at my friend Maddy's school tonight. She's pretty old - I think she's a 2nd grader or something. Anyways, it was a fun little thing to go to. I got to look at and touch some cool bugs, have some good food and play with friends. I even saw Emma there from MY class!

Maddy's little sister, Mikaela was there - she loves my brother, Jake. It was a fun night, thanks for taking me, mom!

FULLERTON, CA - Blast from the past! That's me in the above picture taking my first bites of "solid" food waaaaaaaaayyyyy back in the day. I pulled that one out of the archives since it was Jake's turn to try rice cereal - oh, those were the days. He did pretty good, but seemed more interested in the spoon and bowl that was delivering the cereal, than the cereal itself. Oh, and he liked rubbing it in his hair. Jake, it's not shampoo, little buddy!

Here's a little slideshow of a photo shoot that I took Jake to last week. We got to try our Halloween costumes on for part of it. Enjoy!

OAK GLEN, CA - Well fall is FINALLY here! It has been so warm down here recently, that it's easy to forget that it's a season other than summer. Since it cooled off a bit this weekend, we decided to tag along with Aiden and his family to go apple picking. We hopped in our cars and drove up the hill to Riley's Farm near Yucaipa.

For our first stop, we visited the pumpkin patch they had there. I saw lots of pumpkins - all shapes and sizes. Some of them were even bigger than me! After that, we headed over to the orchard to pick some apples. I'd picked apples once before, but I was smaller back then - I couldn't reach any of the apples. This time, daddy lifted me up super-high so I could grab some out of the trees. We filled our basket to the brim and then went to see if we could track down some lunch. They make a mean hot dog at Riley's Farm, and daddy said the BBQ Beef sandwich was pretty good too.

After a lot of running around in the grass and visiting the goats at the petting zoo, it was time to head home. Thanks for inviting us, Aiden! I can't wait to eat all my yummy apples...
