Pulling Up

Drew's so proud of himself :)

Pumpkin Carving

We went to Mom's house last weekend to carve pumpkins.

"the boys"

Bat Hat

She ate supper with the hat she made at her Halloween party.

Halloween Party

I took Eliana...I mean Cinderella to a party at the YMCA this weekend. She did great and didn't even cry when I dropped her off in her classroom.

Chocolate on her face from her "web cookie"

Time Out

THey always say children learn by modeling what you do. Yes, we do put her in time outs!

Little Reader

Royal Tea

Almost forgot about Eliana's tea time video.

Bath Time Fun

She loves to talk all about her day being a princess. Check out the "violin dance"

Little Cruiser

Drew's beginning to get around in a different way, he's now starting to cruise. There isn't anything he won't pull himself up on anymore either. He gets a thrill from letting go of whatever he's holding onto to stand on his own too (even though it only lasts a couple seconds).

Fall Pics

Tea Party

My favorite picture and favorite part of the whole Princess Day. Eliana loved the tea party too. We're definitely doing this again next year!

Being Announced as a Princess

Eliana patiently waited her turn in line to be announced into he royal kingdom.

Making her bracelet.

Every Girl's a Princess

There's a special event to raise money for local charities in the area called Every Girl's A Princess. This was the first year Eliana could participate. She LOVED it. There are soooo many pics so there will be a couple posts about it.

Here she is waiting for her daddy who was helping someone jumpstart their truck in the parking lot. She was so patient for being so excited.

First thing was having an older princess (high school age volunteer) take her to her special room where she was transformed into a princess. First she made her crown...No, that's not the volunteer, it's just Ben. :)
There's Faith, Eliana's volunteer Princess.

Apple Picking

It was time for our annual apple picking. We took the kids to Sprangers where Eliana LOVED picking the apples and picking her pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. It was much cooler than last year though.

She always has so much energy to burn.
