Mr. Potato Head Pumpkin

Cookie and I made a Mister Potato Head pumpkin this year, it was really fun because she could actually help and put all the parts into the pumpkin.. man she is growing up too fast!

Pumpkin Carving

Jon and I hosted pumpkin carving at our house this year, we had everyone out of the deck, the bonfire going, and yummy treats. We had about 12 families come which made it really fun.. next year we are going to have to judge the pumpkins!Here is Cookie in motion dancing to the music

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the local pumpkin patch this past week, the first attempt to go Cookie fell asleep right as we pulled up.. luckily the second attempt was successful. Cookie loved it, there were lots of animals, and a big slide, she was really unsure about the jumpy thing, and she refused to be carried through the corn-maze.. man she is stubborn!

Just Funny Stuff

I know I have been posting a lot of just random Cookie stuff but it's just too funny not to document.

I have a few Cookie approved drawers in the kitchen that I let her get into and I don't have to worry about it. Lately in the Tupperware drawer she gets them out and puts them on her feet and walks all around the house laughing thinking she is so funny!


Unfortunately Cookie has also learned how to get into the food cupboard, and has discovered that Lucky Charms have the most yummy marshmallows.. this is how I found her one morning, and almost all the marshmallows are gone!!Hide and Seek has becoming a new favorite game, Cookie loves to hide.. but then she gets really cozy and wants to stay there!

My Little Artist

So as time is quickly approaching for baby #2 to come, I have been trying to be extra fun mom for Cookie. So when we were at target the other day I saw these washable finger-paints that looked fun, which they were but oh so messy. Here are some pictures of Cookie hard at work!

Cookie Moments

Cookie has really got to the age where I find her hilarious all the time. Here is a picture of her and Jon she kept pulling all of Jon's clothes out of the drawers wanting him to wear them, he has about 3 layers on, then she decided she needed to wear daddy's clothes, I thought it was pretty cute.

These one cracks me up she put on her princess tiara to take a bath.. guess she knows she currently rules our house.This one I just loved of her and Auntie Jill .. she is all dressed up with nowhere to go.. so we visited Jill!
I also loved this one, we go walking a few days a week and this is little Seth and Cookie, Seth was trying to be sweet and hold Cookie's hand but she refused.

Feeding the Ducks

Last week I took Cookie to feed the ducks at the park for the first time.. why have I not done this sooner?? She loved it, broke up all the bread and got excited for the ducks to eat it.. however I really thought she might jump in and join them!

Trip to the Cabin

Jon and I took a quick trip to stay at the Nelson cabin in Utah to be with Jon's family. We had a great time hanging out and catching up, going to women's conference and the park. It was just nice to spend time with family. I really didn't take many photos but here are a few from the aquarium and Cookie around the riverwoods.

Denver Trip.. Just me and my honey!

Jon took me on a weekend trip to Denver, kid free.. it was fantastic! The first night we stayed at the Ritz Carleton, compliments of Jon's work. We explored downtown, the capitol, went shopping and to the art center. That night we scored cheap tickets, which were actually really good seats to the Rockies game, followed by yummy dinner. The next night we spent a little ways out of Denver more over towards Boulder at  a resort hotel. We had a fancy dinner and then spent our time in the pool and hot tubs, and around the fire pit. It was  a perfect few days just what I needed before this little babe is born!
