Trunk or Treat Smell my Feet!

Tonight we went to our church's annual trunk or treat. They had a scavenger hunt and hayride and the highlight of the evening was the "trunk" or treat. Jacob got loads of candy!! For Halloween Jacob went as a pirate and Ella is a pirate girl. How cute! That was Jacob's idea.

This is a picture of our decorated trunk, and of Jacob trick or treating.

Ella also got to spend some time with her friends.

The Great State Fair of Texas!

We made the trip to the fair again this year. We needed or corny dog fix and our fill of other weird fried foods. My favorite is the fried cookie dough. Jacob loved seeing the animals and LOVED the midway. He is a little daredevil when it comes to the rides. Ella just loved watching people from her stroller and taking the occasional nap. We had a great time and here are a few pictures.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Jaocb, Ella, and I went to a pumpkin patch with some very good friends of ours, Natalie and her son Drew. It was quite an experience! We went before the weather got cooler, and it was hot! It made the kids fussy, especially Ella who is just like her mama. She does not like the hot weather. At least I got a (yes, just one) good picture and some pretty cool pumpkins.

This is the one that Jacob carved for school. He says it is wearing glasses!

I'm 7 months old!

Ella turned seven months old yesterday! She is growing up so fast. She is now sitting up on her own, and babbling away! She likes to hold her paccy in her hand and "talk" to it. I don't know what kind of conversations you can have with a paccy, but she has some pretty intense ones. When we are out, Ella draws a lot of attention. Everyone always wants to talk to her, and she just gives them her beautiful smile. Everyone loves her eyes, but who couldn't! I don't sound like a proud mother do I?

Two Peas in a Pod

I just can't say enough about how much Jacob and Ella love each other. I love to watch them interact everyday. Ella has to see where her brother is at all times. Jacob's favorite past time is trying to make Ella laugh! I hope they will always be this close. We will see when Ella starts to get into Jacob's stuff. Before I had Ella, a lot of people were telling me that Jacob will act out because of jealousy and lack of attention. But I have to say that has not come true! He has been such a blessing to us and to Ella.
