H-A-Double L-O-W-Double E-N!!

Kinsey had her crabby pants strapped on tight and did not want to swap them out for her costume so all the pictures of her getting ready that our neighbor Keri took for me were of her screaming! I still thought I would share them though :)

Soooo mad at Mommy for putting the dress on her...

Still crabby but not screaming!

The costume was pretty stretchy so I had to pin it to fit her...

Took a break for a cuddle bug to calm her down...

Pretty shoes for a pretty girl...

She was sitting so pretty and it was a definite kodak moment right up until I clicked the button haha...

Mad baby with her pumpkin!

Kinsey and Mommy before we went to Amy and Marissa's house

By the time we got to Amy and Marissa's house she was all calmed down and ready for fun! We played for a while and took a lap around the block in the wagon to waiting for people to come out so we could Trick-or-Treat! Kinsey and Marissa were having lots of fun walking up to the doors and they were really good at taking the candy and putting it in their buckets! ;) Here are the pictures from the rest of the night!

Miss Amy and the girls!

Pretty girls!

Kinsey eating a Dot! :)

They are so darn cute and Marissa is too funny!!

Marissa's Uncle Chris pulled the wagon around with us in case the girls got tired. Amy and I needed a turn in the wagon after chasing the girls around by the end of the night! ;)

At the first door

Kinsey helping Chris push the wagon...

Such a big girl!

We wanted a pick with all of us but the girls wanted to go get more candy!

Our last stop was at Amy's neighbor's house and Kinsey wanted to stay at every house that had a dog so they let her see theirs...

We got back and changed the girls into festive jammies and ate some chilli which was yummy even though it was 80 degrees out! All the fun wore the girls out and Kinsey was snoring in the carseat before we got to the end of Amy's street! Sorry no pictures of the snoring ;)

Kinsey and Marissa at Gillis Hill Farm

We started Halloween day off with Amy and Marissa who invited us to come with them to Gillis Hill Farm to see the animals and pick out a pumpkin. Amy's brother, Chris, was visiting so Kinsey got to meet Marissa's Uncle and we got some help with the little girls! Here are the pictures from the trip to the "farm"...

Hello hugs from Marissa!

Checking out the chickens in the pen

She was smiling big at the chickens!

Kinsey was Miss Amy's shadow while we were there!

News and Pictures from Kyle

Kyle emailed me today and he's back at Al Asad for a bit while his Squadron is moving north. He emailed 2 pictures also. He said he has lots more and he's hoping to have more access to the internet where they are moving so he can be in contact more and send more pictures of what he's doing.

Kinsey's Visit to Great Grandma Lyllis'

Kinsey and I went to visit Kyle's Grandma in northern Missouri on Saturday. Great Grandma wanted to show Kinsey the Pumpkin Patch and Petting Zoo where her cousins worked and then gave her a birthday cake!

She was calling them kitties

She was petting them but I was too slow...

The chicks were her favorite, even though they weren't cute anymore...

Petting the chick...

This was right before all the loud geese came up and sent her running for Mommy

Her cousin Stephanie drove the train for years and now that she's at college the owners named the "train station" after her...

I think this is a great picture! Kinsey and her cousin Michelle on the "train"

Kinsey and her belated cake from Great Grandma Lyllis

Great Grandma had to help her blow it out

She wasn't afraid to dig into this one!

Makin' a mess!

Another Picture of Kyle

I found another picture of Kyle on Facebook that his Senior Scout had posted, I have no idea what is going on in it but I thought I would share...

Our Budding Photographer!

Kinsey got ahold of our camera and took a lot of interesting pictures of her feet and hands haha... Here are some of the shots she took, the last 2 are different because she changed the settings on the camera to widescreen...
