Trick or Treating

Our neighborhood trick or treated on Saturday and we were gone so we went out on post tonight. We went to several houses on main post and Kinsey was the only Jessie in the tons of kids that were there. She loved her costume! On her way back from the porches she would take off her hat and say "Yee-Haw!" :)

Walking over to the houses
Her first house, she was a little nervous with the crowds so she needed Daddy...

On the way back from every house she had the biggest smile! She was so sweet but I couldn't get the camera to take a picture of her that wasn't blurry!

She started going by herself when we got away from the crowds...

She wasn't really sure when to leave at first though, she would just stand on the stairs with her bucket looking at the people like "now what?" haha

Right after a "yee haw"...

Visit Back with the Kinards

Kyle completed selection on Friday so Kinsey and I flew back to Fayetteville that night. We got to the Kinard's a little late but first thing in the morning the girls couldn't wait to play! The princess dresses came out and they picked up right where they left off!

Kyle was pretty popular that morning! :)

Ring around the Rosie

Trick or Treating with the Kinard's has become tradition and since the girls would be together so close to Halloween we couldn't resist getting dressed up and going to one neighbor's house!First Halloween at the Kinard's in 2009Last year
This year! Jessie and Dorothy, where did the time go? Glad I have another baby coming soon, Kinsey's getting so big! :) Checking each other's costumes out... Our Toy Story cowgirl, JessieTrick or Treating at Zach and Kerri's house...

Coldies!!

Even though I checked the forecast before packing out suitcases, it has been a lot colder in Missouri than we were prepared for! Yesterday Kinsey and I had to make a Target run for cold weather gear and this was the result :)

One of these days I will figure out how to time the pictures so I get her smiling big instead of right before she asks to see the picture! :)

Playing with Paints

Most of the reason we came back to Missouri while Kyle was gone was to have time for Mommy to get work done so I was trying to come up with things for her to do during the day and we decided to paint! Unfortunately I spent too much time taking pictures of her and didn't get anything done this afternoon!

Ready to get started

Doing such a good job

She was telling me that painting was hard work

Checking out her masterpiece

She painted 3 pictures...

Carving Pumpkins

Getting ready to carve and Aunt Chachee's toe shoes scared Kinsey :)
Love the pumpkins!

Starting on the first one...

Kinsey was frustrated that she couldn't cut into the pumpkins like everyone else

Chachee let her "help"...

Another attempt at a fall pretty picture :)

Getting the gooey stuff out...

She loves Blue! She tried to lay down and take a picture with him but he ran away pretty fast.

Playing with the 3D chalk

Uncle Jake was having more fun than Kinsey :)

Getting ready for 3D hopscotch...

She did it!

Loving on Uncle Jake

Visit to the Kinard's!!

We got to North Carolina the afternoon of the 14th and Kinsey and I flew out the next day but we got to hang out with the Kinard's for one night! The girls had so much fun!! They spent almost the whole time in their Princess dresses and Rocko got to be "baby donkey" from Shrek :) Kyle went in to his old Troop to reenlist one of his former soldiers and that meant Amy and I got to chat a little and I got lots of time to play with Brady! We can't wait until we fly back in a few weeks and have a little more time with them!

Reunited! YAY!
Sidenote: Is it just me or is that the same face Kyle makes when he doesn't really want to smile in a picture haha

All dressed up and ready to play princesses outside...



After baths...it cracks me up how pretty Marissa looks and how Kinsey looks like she's trying to lick Brady haha



Had to have a little more princess play time before Daddy drove us to the airport...

Visiting with Grammy, Grandpa Brad and Aunt Maddie

Kinsey and I drove with Daddy to North Carolina where he would be for a while (picture with the Kinards will be up after I steal them from Amy haha), then we flew to Missouri for a few weeks. Grammy, Grandpa Brad, and Aunt Maddie were in Missouri for the MU homecoming game so we drove to Columbia to see them.

Playing dominos with Aunt Maddie and Great-Grandma Deborah

Kinsey really liked matching the colors...

Grandma Deborah and Grandpa Tom gave her a chef set. She really liked it but wasn't really in the dress up/photoshoot mood :)

Not such a good cheese...

Getting her present and baby brother's from Grammy, Grandpa Brad and Aunt Maddie...

It's a MIZZOU shirt!

A MIZZOU onsie for baby brother!

Still not in the right mood for pictures lol

She loves magnifying glasses and playing detective! Here she was looking under the bed for the kitty...
