Happy Halloween!

On Sunday we headed to mom's for Sunday dinner and we carved pumpkins too! This has become a tradition and it is a fun one! Nora was soooo excited to carve pumpkins this year and about Halloween in general.

For Halloween we headed over to the Kountzmans house, as usual. They are always so gracious to host Halloween and this year was no different. Uncle Ray makes his wonderful chilly and we eat and go trick or treating with Jalen. Nora was a bit of a crab (no pun intended) and she has become so bossy. And really it is only when I am around, when I am not she is a pretty kind kid. Anyway....this year the girls went as Ariel and Sebastian. I don't think we will have many years that we will be able to dress them the same or themed costumes. Nora had a great time going house to house with jalen. She made it pretty far (in my opinion). She chased after Jalen and told a joke at every house. I knew she was getting close to being done when she quit carrying her pumpkin filled with candy around. We hit a few more houses and headed back to the house. She certainly was wired!!!

Grandma and her little Crab!

All of the Grandkids! And Nora has a new thing where she doesn't want to be in pictures. That is why she was crying!

I even dressed up this year as a vampire. I put the fangs in and went to show nora and she cried and cried until I took them out.

Stella is ONE!

Can you believe it?! Our sweet Stella girl is ONE!!! We had her birthday party on her actual birthday, which was fun. We had friends and family join us for the party and Grandma and Grandpa came in to town for the party too! We went with a pink and orange theme because she just looks so cute in those colors.

The adorable shirt was made by my neighbor, Martha and I made her tutu. She was just so funny walking around in that little outfit all day!

So a recap of Stella for her 1st year. We went to the dr. yesterday and she got 4 shots, poor baby girl! She weighed in at 22 lbs 5 oz. (75th%ile) and is 30.5 inches long (90th%ile). She did great at the doctor. She showed off her walking and climbing skills for the doctor. She is down to 1 formula bottle a day and is enjoying real food. She likes most fruits, veggies and pretty much anything we put in front of her. She loves getting in to everything. There is not a safe place in the house! And she loves her sister. If Nora has something Stella wants it. It think Stella's favorite thing to play with right now is the remote. Wow! She certainly has grown and I cannot believe my baby is one!!
