Pumpkin decorating party!

This morning the FCC (Family Child Care) had a pumpkin decorating party for the day care kids and providers. Since I am technically still a day care provider (I occasionally watch the provider's kiddos in their own homes), Ty and I were invited! It was so much fun! Ty got to play with all the other kids (which he loved), play in the gym with all the toys, listen to a story, and even decorate a pumpkin! What fun we had! We are definitely ready for Halloween!

Ty loved these cones!

Pumpkin Patch Kid!

We took Ty to a couple of local pumpkin patches this past weekend, and boy did we have fun! It was a bit cold, but we bundled Ty up in his big winter coat and Bengals hat. He got to see some animals, go through a corn maze, jump in the bouncy house, and pick out a pumpkin! Here are some pictures of our adventures:


Ty loves the bouncy house!

Look at all those pumpkins!

He had fun in this huge pumpkin!

Our pretty mums, and family of pumpkins...Daddy, Mommy, Ty, and even Bib Dos!

Fall is so beautiful here!

Daddy called the pigs over for us, and Ty thought his pig call was hilarious!

3-1 IBCT Activation Ceremony

Josh's brigade (3-1 IBCT) held an Activation Ceremony yesterday. 3-1 was de-activated back at Ft. Hood, TX after it's re-deployment from Afghanistan this past summer in order to prepare for their move to Ft. Knox, KY. This past Friday, there was a ceremony held that re-activated the brigade at it's new home in Ft. Knox. Ty and I attended the ceremony despite the cold, dreary day. I am so glad we went! It was awesome to see Josh's whole brigade come together to unite as they prepare to do their part to defend our great country! It made me so proud to be the wife of such a brave man who is fighting for our freedom! And I know it made Ty proud of his daddy too!

Here are a couple pics of the ceremony:

HallZOOween!

Josh and I took Ty to the Louisville Zoo for the "World's Largest Halloween Party" last night. It was so much fun! Josh and I really enjoyed seeing all the little ones in their adorable costumes! There were cute kiddos everywhere you looked! We got to go trick-or-treating throughout the Zoo, we saw some animals, and some of our favorite Halloween characters too! We love Halloween!


Isn't he the cutest Spider-baby you ever did see?

Daddy, Ty, and Superman!

Ty wasn't sure what to think of Batman!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Costume

Mommy tortured me today by making me try on four different Halloween costumes! At first I thought it was fun, but then she just kept making me change costumes and I got mad. Which one do you think I should wear for Halloween? Vote on our poll please! Below are pictures of me in each choice. Thanks!

Love,

Ty

Dinosaur! (this one was the last costume Mommy made me try on...can you tell I'm not having fun anymore?)

Ninja!

Incredible Hulk!

Spiderman!

Fall Fun

We have had a fun Fall so far! A few weekends back, our friends, the Hupp's, came down for a visit! They are great friends, and we are so grateful they came down to spend time with us! Kathy and Greg have three gorgeous kiddos (Avery, Sydney, and Colton), and we always love hanging out with them! We took them to the Patton Museum here on post, and here are some pics of the kids:

This is the only pic I could get of Colton! He doesn't like getting his picture taken!


Here are the girls in front of a tank. Syd is on the left, Avery the right.


Ty has been experimenting with walking these past few weeks. He has been taking a small step here and a small step there. But last night he walked clear across the room! Josh and I are such proud parents! We have been trying to catch his walking attempts on video. Here's the best one we have so far:

Pretty soon daddy and a very pregnant (and extremely large) mommy will be chasing this little man around! :-)
