~Kid's Night Out Halloween Party~

I wore my costume on most of the afternoon to "get used to it" and I loved roaring at any dog walking by the house.

My Mama came to Kid's Night Out with me and even drew whiskers on my face. How silly!
My Mama is going to be Dorothy this year and my Papa is going to be the Scarecrow.
Happy 70th Anniversary Wizard of Oz!!!

post script: Thank you Katie for making these great costumes!! We have never had so many compliments and it's all thanks to you.

Annual Spring City Barn Dance

Every year we do the barn dance at Oma and Opa's barn in Spring City, Utah. Last year it was freezing and I wasn't sure about it all, but this year was a blast!! I danced with my cousins Lucy and Kira most of the night.

The next morning Paisley and Kira decided I was the baby for the day. They pushed me around in the stroller all day and even let me watch a movie in the stroller. I love being taken care of.

21 months

We are counting down the months until Annika is 2 YEARS OLD-Crazy!! After 2 you just don't count months anymore, right?! Well, we are preparing for Halloween and Annika is going to be the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz although she is quite the opposite of a coward. She'll try anything, man.

She often enjoys coloring on paper, walls, floors, her dresser, her body...just about anywhere. Especially when she gets to use markers. She is also often found sitting in her rocking chair (thanks Gramps) reading a book or looking at a photo album with her american doll Samantha.

Oh my gosh she's just so stinkin' cute!! She's going to be such a good big sister when she actually starts believeing that a baby is coming. Everytime Mama shows her the tummy and says, "A baby is in there." Annika says, "No!" and gives me a 'you're crazy' look. It's hilarious!
