Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

We had so much fun with Lucy Jane this Halloween, she was the cutest ladybug around!  She didn't really get into trick-or-treating, but she did like seeing all the other kids dressed up. 

We went to one of our friend's Halloween Parties, here is Lucy with Jesse & Snow White

 Here we are - a ladybug, a bumblebee & an exterminator

 She didn't want to get too close, even though Mr. Rick was handing - out play dough!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Birthday Video

To make you feel like you were really at the party, here is a video of "Happy Birthday" & a few clips at the end of Lucy with her friends.  She is really into kissing all her little friends lately, she pretty much attacks them & kisses them if they like it or not.  I am still trying to figure out if this is good or bad.

Cupcake Birthday PaRtY!!

Lucy Jane turned 1 about a month ago & we had a cupcake birthday party for her!  My whole family came in for the  big party & it was so fun!  We had a fun full weekend with everyone & I am so thankful they were all able to come in!

We started out the weekend by having Lucy Jane's 1 & family pics taken by my amazing friend Rachel. There are a few pics at the end of this post for a little preview of some of the great pictures she got! 

Then we went home to start setting up for the big party.  Thanks everyone for all the help!  Here are a few pictures from the party, can't wait til the next party, I am already dreaming up a theme.

Thanks everyone for coming in - of course I didn't get pics of everyone :( but here is Lucy Jane with her sweet aunts, she had so much fun with them.

Here are a few pics from our family photo session - enjoy!

Fall...

I got really depressed watching the Rangers tonight, so I finally uploaded all the video from Lucy Jane's first birthday party.  Thanks Uncle Luke for videoing the party, we have some great memories.  While I am waiting for the video to download I thought I should load up some pics from this fall.  

Sadly, we haven't been able to make it to too many of Cody's games this season, I love watching him coach.  Here's a pic of him in action, I tried to take a pic of Lucy at the game but she would not have it.

The weather has been so great lately so we have hit up the park a lot!

 Lots of going to school this fall.  Lucy goes to school 2 days a week & she loves it. This is a pic from the first day, I don't think I ever posted it. 

 

 Lots of going to cheer for our high school friends.  One of Lucy's new favorite things is going to pep rallies - she LOVES them.  She loves all the colors, all the kids, all the music, she just smiles & stares the whole time, it's so cute.

Lots of time, just being cute:

 Even Lucy wears her Young Life shirt on Mondays!

 She lives for people to wave to her from outside

Learning to give high fives while cheering for the Cowboys - she hasn't been able to give as many high fives as she would like to this season :(

2 Things I am very excited about right now:
 

This cute little lady bug that will be appearing at her first Halloween party tomorrow night:

1 Year

Lucy Jane turned 1 this month & I have mixed emotions about it.  It makes me sad that she is getting older & we will never have this time back, but I have loved every new stage.  She has been so much fun these past couple of months.  She is learning so many new things & will try & copy everything you do, it's pretty funny.  I can't believe that this time last year we had a newborn, it seems like forever ago!  We love you so much Lucy Jane & can't imagine life without you!

Here are a few things Lucy Jane is doing at 1 year:

*crawling really, really fast & not really interested in walking by herself

*loves to push chairs around the kitchen

*loves to play peek-a-boo

*says "mama" & "Dada" & I think she says more (mo) & car (ca)

*signs for more & sometimes please

*sleeps 12-13 hours a night

*takes a morning nap (only on days she's not at school or church) & a long afternoon nap

*Drinks whole milk (still from a bottle, but working towards only sippy cups)

*loves cheese, fruit, pasta, & yogurt

*Only eats table food (she started rejected baby food a couple months ago)

*loves books & Elmo

*loves to go on walks

*has the sweetest smile

Can't wait to see what this year holds!
