Pumpkin carving

We carved our pumpkin tonight.  Planned on going to the pumpkin farm today but the rain spoiled our plans. 

 

Audrey is really scared

Audrey would not help scoop out the seeds; it was "yukky".  Evelyn wasn't afraid to dig in.

Cupcakes!

As promised to G&G Taylor, here is a picture of the girls eating a cupcake you brought.

Thanks for picking them up today!

 

Go Illini!

Evelyn really likes climbing

We went to the Illinois football game today.  The game was delayed for lightening in the second quarter and we got caught in a downpour.  Found a tent to stand under but it was blowing sideways so got wet anyway.  Gave us a chance to visit with Aunt Linda and Mike.

Mad I didn't get a picture before/during the game.  Audrey had cute pigtails and ribbons and an Illini sticker on her cheek.

Worn out

Audrey found a toad in the driveway this morning

Great vacation

We have returned from vacation at Isle of Palms and Tim's house.  Had a great time.  Evelyn turned 1.  She took two steps and is getting several more teeth.  Our goal now is to get her to sleep through the night.

 

Evelyn was too busy crying to enjoy the ocean or pool.  She only had one day when she was happy.  Some little boy came along and threw sand at her - we're going to have to teach her self-defense.

Anyone see anything interesting in the background?

We had a proper one-year-old cake eating once we got to Tim and Michelle's house.  She loved it, of course.

Evelyn turns 1 year!

Miss Evelyn is 1 today!  We went all out and flew her to the beach to celebrate.  Didn't bring the computer so can't upload any pics.  Took her out for pizza; she had a breadstick (loved it) and had ice cream for dessert.

Bessie is 52lbs now and just got spayed.  Still a nuisance but getting better

11 months old

Miss Evelyn is 11 months old now!  She is crawling everywhere, has two teeth and is not sleeping through the night :)  She has a big smile and is very cuddly.

 

She loves climbing on this couch.

She liked chewing on this; I'm not sure any ended up in her mouth
