Happy Halloween!!!!

We had a fun Halloween this year, first we went to a party at Tim's work which is were Skylr fell asleep on my lap. Then the Miller's and The Lucore's got together for dinner and a movie at our place and we passed out candy. Tim was a Motorcycle rider (he just put his riding gear on), I was a Witch, Skylr was Miney Mouse, Our dog Darby was dressed in a little Tuxedo, My mom was a cat, and Craig was a Doctor. We saw lots of cute costumes from the Trick-or-Treaters, and we missed out on all of the tricks...Bumber. ;) Our pumpkins turned out really cool, The football and vomating Jack-O-Lantern's were done by Tim. The traditional face was created by Craig and the Miller's name was carved by my mom. They looked great all lit up, the Trick-or-Treater's loved them. Can't wait 'till next Halloween.

New Traditions

Our family has decided to create new traditions now that we have become new little families. I think that canning has become our first tradition. As well as pumpkin carving, the boys got into it more than us girls, but i am sure that once Skylr is older and more kids are added to the mix, that it will become quit fun event. This weekend was full of fun, my mom and i happily made five bushels of apple into applesauce and successfully sealed all 38 jars. It was a long day, but very fun, Skylr loves the applesauce and was a very good girl for her daddy while my mom and i got to work. She played in a little exersaucer bug in the garage with us for a while until she fell asleep, which is when i captured her making the 'I love you' hand sign to me and her daddy. Skylr and Tim had a fun spending the day together while my mom and i canned, he had her laughing for a while, it was adorable. actually a few days ago we were in the kitchen and Darby kept walking by, right in front of Sky, and every time she went by Skylr would crack up. It was hilarious, i only wish we got it in film, we were way to entranced by her little laugh and the fact that it didn't take much for her to giggle.

She has been sitting up really well, once she finds her balance she can sit up for several minutes at a time. She loves to stand up, which would explain why she loves her jumparoo so much. Her new thing right now is to spit, she pushes out her saliva and makes noises, it's very funny,but i can already see her spitting her food out and making a mess. Speaking of food, she has been eating baby food for some time now and is doing great, she eats pretty fast and is upset if she isn't fed fast enough. she loves corn just like her dad and like all babies she very much enjoys her fruits.

Sunday after church my parents came to our house and had dinner. We carved 3 awesome pumpkins, One of the pumpkins Tim carved was huge so after he gutted it out we put Skylr in it and took some family pictures. She didn't like it to much but it sure was cute/funny. i will post the finished Jack O Lantern's along with Skylr's and the families costumes after Halloween. we all had lots of fun, we finished the night by treating ourselves to my famous and Delicious Carmel brownies..."They are the BEST brownies I have ever had in my life!!" says Tim. we had a fun weekend.
