Fall Leaves and Meme visits!


As I've mentioned before, we love fall! One of my favorite parts of fall is the beautiful leaves and fall colors! Lincoln has had some beautiful colors this fall! My Mom came to visit for a week and while she was here we drove around and took pictures of the leaves (must be where I get my love of fall leaves).







We also went to Pioneers Park and let McKinley play and take pictures of some of the pretty trees there! And I got a couple cute ones of McKinley too :)



One of McKinley's favorite fall activities is playing in all of the fallen leaves! She likes to throw them in the air and jump around in them!







We had fun while my Mom was here visiting! McKinley liked having Meme around! She was so excited to have her here, she even helped carry her bags in :)




My Mom and I even got to have a girls afternoon and get pedicures while McKinley was at her Toddler Play Group :)


Another fun fall activity we've been able to enjoy is more football games! We went to the Nebraska vs. Wisconsin game and had a great time! It was so much fun to be there! It was a night game, which created a fun atmosphere for a football game, and it was a big win for Nebraska! We had a great time!


October is also Mya's birthday month, so we had fun celebrating Mya's birthday a few times! We had fun at her Hello Kitty party at the park, and we also went out to dinner at Valentinos while my mom was in town to celebrate Mya's birthday with her, who Mya calls "Grandma Meme".



We've also enjoyed some yummy spider cookies in honor of Halloween for Family Movie Night one night. We checked out Jungle Book from the library and McKinley loved it! She loved "man cub" and watched it many times throughout the 2 weeks we had it on loan from the library :)

2 year photo shoot!

 

I'm lucky to have a lot of friends as photographers, who are amazing at what they do! My friend Jesicah took McKinley's 2-year old pictures for me last week! I LOVE how they turned out! She did an amazing job, and I must admit the outfit I picked out for her to wear turned out pretty cute too :) With out further adieu, here they are...










My friend Heather had been wanting to take pictures of her 2 year old Dane too, so we decided to make it easier of Jesicah and do them together in one night. So we got these 2 super cute pictures of the 2 of them together. They're good friends! Heather had a hat for Dane to wear in the pictures, and of course McKinley thought his hat was pretty neat and wanted to wear it. So Dane put it on for her, then he decided he wanted to put her headband on. It was really funny and had us all laughing at the cute little 2 year olds!
