Halloween

The first party -The Mommy and Me group - hard to get a picture of her looking at the camera.

Halloween day with Daisy wearing the shirt Mimi and Nono got Mia.

Carving pumpkins with Daddy (his is the good looking on in the next picture).

Mine has freckles (aka: mushy pumpkin from the frost)

Hard to see - but this is Mia's fish face.

Getting to see the pumpkins glowing with her new "doodle do" from the Halloween Carnival.

We went to the mall to do some indoor trick or treating and then went to a carnival. Mia loved playing games and collecting the candy. She didn't really know what candy was, just put it in her bag and moved to a new game.

Picking Pumpkins

We went to Green Bluff awhile back to get our pumpkins. It was hard to find many because the frost was so bad in early Oct. that most were mushy. We did find some, and some apples and had a great day. Mia has so much fun up there picking and eating.

So cute!

This is my new favorite picture of her.

Silly Girl Around the House

Such a funny girl. So there are a few pictures with her hair up. I finally got the ties that "they can't take out" Well she takes them out along with a chunck of hair. So I decided that crazy hair is better than her eventually becoming bald from taking out all her hair ties.

Fun at Green Bluff and the Fair

Shopping Trip and Salsa

So this is the start to homemade salsa. We had lots of vegis and so I made zucchini salsa. You would never know all that zucchini was in there. So yummy!! I will have to grow a bigger garden next year and get more canning gear. Good Christmas presents, hint, hint!

This is my most recent shopping trip to Albertons. Not that we were in great need of cereal or cookies, but I did need the 2 cans of olives and can on cream soup. The reason that I got all this stuff is that I was PAID $3.03 to take it out of the store. We will, however, eat the cereal and cookies, of course!!

After all coupons the total was $21.97

Minus my catalina coupon -$5.00

Minus the new catalina

coupons for my next shopping trip -$10.00

Minus the Kellogs Fuel for School

Rebate -$10.00

Grand Total will be a profit of $3.03.

These types of shopping trips can't help but make me smile.

Family Pictures at Manito Park

One of Bobby's co-workers took family pictures for us this last week. We had some really good ones, but it was a challenge with Mia. She just wanted to run away and play. The best ones of her are when she got to do that (especially in the water around the park). Good thing Bobby's parents were there to help keep Mia entertained and smiling. Maybe next time she will sit still for longer!!

Such A Big Girl...I can't believe how much she is growing...must be the summer heat

July 4th outfit.

Funny hat that she actually wore for a little bit.

Playing Memory - well at least putting the pieces in and out of the box.

"I'll do it myself, thank you!"

She loves to help vacuum, and turns it on and off if she isn't the one doing it, so I can't get it done.

She looks sooooo long sleeping in this one.

More shoes - she did this on her own and walked for a bit.
