Happy Halloween to all

Well Alyson celebrated her 1st Halloween in true Spooky style. It was a fairly chilly day but we bundled our little fairy princess up and took her to the neighborhood party. She was overwhelmed with all of the kids and the costumes but ran around waving her wand.

We came home and spent the rest of the night handing out treats to over 100 kids in the course of about an hour. I got out the plastic pumpkin and Aly grabbed on so off her and I went to some of the houses close by to trick and treat. She got some very nice treats from the neighbors that were kid friendly - note to self to have goodies for the little kids since the full size candy bars are too much for them. She came home with a bag filled with raisins, animal crackers and goldfish.

Grandma Karolee came over with Uncle Jonathan and his buddy. Grandma brought Aly some goodies for the evening including this adorable pajama outfit. She wore it all over the house with her pumpkin slippers that Lynny gave her.

What fun would the night have been without dressing up puppy - she wore her bunny ears like a good girl.

Getting Ready for my first Halloween

So I had to try out my costume for Halloween so I could make sure I looked cute as a fairy.

So I practiced walking and crawling with my costume and even tried giving out money like the tooth fairy does. Just need to use my wand to turn Maddie into a bunny.

Look for the official photos on Halloween.

Aly Walks

Now with the new functions on blogger - we can update videos - here is Alyson back when she first started walking in May 2007.

Jack and Aly - Dinner date

I had a dinner date with Jack Gleason tonight. Jack's parents, Carrie and John came for dinner with Jason and Becky- she's a mommy-to-be. Jack and I played with my toys and he really liked my musical piano... Hmmm - Christmas list for Jack?

We had lots of fun together. Jack being 6 months is still not walking but he really likes to stand just like I did when I was his age. Oh boy are our parents in for some fun.... Another date? Well that's up to Jack.

TP PARTY

I got a hold of the TP before mom could get me - so I had a little fun.. Amazing to see I am already 11 months old - the big birthday is coming up quick. Mom and dad are planning something fun for me.

In case some of you have not heard - I am walking or should I say running all around. Mom and dad took a trip at the end of September and when they came back - I took my first steps. Now I am really comfortable and run around all the time.

A little birthday

I'm back! Took a little time off but finally back. Mom is leaving tomorrow for a big work trip so Daddy, puppers and I celebrated mommy's birthday. We went to dinner yesterday with Nana and Ah-pa and uncle Nicky. I ate rice, miso soup and dumplings - yummy. And I got to have cake 2 days in a row.

What fun - I'll miss you mommy.

By the way - I'm walking - mom and dad have a video from a few weeks ago.. Hee-hee. they will have to get it online soon.

Off to Great Grandmas

Well we made the trip up to see great grandma B in North Dakota over Labor Day weekend. Mom and I flew up to Minot, why not. Dad picked us up as he was there earlier for a wedding for his buddy's brother.

We had a blast with GGB and Grandma and Grandpa Noble came up as well.

Mom has a lot of pictures to upload so she will add them later but here I am with GGB.
