Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Brenna put on her little witch outfit and helped us pass out candy this evening. She really enjoyed watching all of the kids come to the door in their costumes. We took a few pictures in front of the house, right as the trick or treaters started coming down the street. It was a miracle to get a photo of her with the hat on. She was not particularly fond of it. It did make a great teether and a place to hide to play peek a boo. I couldn't get her to stand up for her pictures either. She just knew we were going to put that hat on her head, and needed an easy escape route. We had a great time, and can't wait until next year when she can go out in the neighborhood with the rest of the kids.

Deciding if she should keep playing with the pumpkin or take the hat off again.


She has her bag and is ready to go!

More Fall Fun

We took Brenna to play at Sharon Woods this afternoon. It was a perfect fall day. I took along the camera to play with lighting and settings some more, and came away with some cute photos of Miss Brenna. I know I have been photo crazy with my recent posts, but who could resist taking so many when you have such a cute little model?





Swinging fun. Blurry a bit, but the grin is everything!


Giggles on the swing.


Contemplating a head first go on the slide.


Scooting out to ride the slide.


My favorite one from today.


Daddy got wise to her thoughts of riding head first. He had a hold on princess daredevil.


Serious play.



Yummy...leaves!




What are these? So many everywhere!


She really enjoyed playing in the piles of leaves.

We are really hoping for a few more fantastic fall days so we can go out to play again!

Brenna is 15 months old today!

Where does the time go? She is growing so fast! Here are some photos we took today while playing outside.

15 Months!

Hilarious story from the weekend

We were watching the Bengals game. Not unusual for a fall Sunday afternoon. Brenna was watching with us. There was a play that went under review by the officials. Brenna was standing there, staring at the TV. All of the sudden, she breaks into a tirade, yelling at the TV in Brennish (we did not understand a single word from her mouth), arms flailing in the air, and yelling at the top of her lungs at the TV. At least twice she threw up her arms in the air to signal a touchdown. We don't know why....the play wasn't even close to a touchdown. But, the whole scene was hilarity. We were cracking up, which just added fuel to the fire. She kept going and going and going. Then she stopped and looked at us like we should know exactly everything she just said. No clue. Note to self....we MUST stop yelling at the TV during games when little eyes are watching. Funny, funny stuff!

Brenna rooting on her team!

Here is her game day attire. Who Dey!


Tickled that the Bengals beat the Ravens!


If only she would look at the camera these days.


Making sure we see the pretty flowers too.


Playing with fallen leaves. I can't wait until she is old enough to enjoy a pile of raked leaves.


Playing in her playhouse. A garage sale steal we just got for her.


Peek a boo! I see you!!


Did someone knock? I am home!


I can't wait to put this playhouse in the yard next spring. She is going to love it!

Fall Fun!

We spent a perfect fall Saturday afternoon at the pumpkin farm. Brenna had a blast. We definitely will be finding another one to visit the next time we have nice weather on Saturday. Might be next year with all the rain we keep getting. :( Here are some photos from our adventure.
