good river pics

These pics were taken a couple of weeks ago...before the temperature dropped a good 30 degrees.  They turned out pretty good so wanted to share.

Learning to smell the flower...not sure if we actually sniffed, but we definitely liked sticking our nose in it.
Making the trip up the hill...you'd think that would be relatively hard for her, but she had no problem.
This is a cool pic of Todd looking at the river.  I don't quite have the photographer-gene, but I thought this turned out pretty good.

Learning to blow bubbles...she got pretty good at it after she stopped trying to eat it?!?

getting in the christmas spirit

Can you tell she is saying, "ho, ho, ho" with her bubble hair and beard?  Too cute!  If only she could stay in the tub...she'd be happy all the time :)

what age group do i fall in?

So, it's that time of year...shopping for that something special for the ones you love...AND answering all those questions about what YOU want for Christmas.  My husband wants to know what I want for my "big" gift.  After weeks of thinking, I have come up with 2 options.  

 1.  a Wii               2.  a sewing machine

After sharing these with my dear husband, he then laughed...hard.  I do realize that these are pretty much total opposite gifts, but I think I'd enjoy both of them.  I'm leaning towards the sewing machine, though.  It's crazy that almost all of my friends don't have a clue how to sew, but almost all of our moms do.  Am I the only one that thinks that's odd.  Assuming that Presley will have the short leg to long body ratio like Todd and I, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to hem a pair of pants.  Todd and I alone would save a bunch...that's 10-15 bucks a pair?!?  Even more...I may actually figure out something cute and crafty to do with it.   So, feel free to share your thoughts...

Trick-or-Treat

Presley had her first trick-or-treating Halloween this year.  We went to all of 4 houses, and asked for just 1 piece at each house.  Maybe it's horrible, or maybe it's good, but I've never given my child candy.  So, she ate 2 suckers and 2 smarties (I may have slipped a piece or 2) in one night.  I'm not sure if it is related or not, but she would not eat any "real" food yesterday, so no more candy for quite some time.  Anyway, we did have a  big time and she really enjoyed it.  She would even keep her pig head on for most of the night.  Oh, and what a good move I made getting her "mo bucket"...we are a big fan of Elmo right now.  Enjoy the pics.

Presley the pig and Marley the loaf of Wonderbread.  Too cute!
