Jenna turns 3!

Jenna turned 3 on Oct. 2nd. The Sunday before we had a family birthday party. Jenna wanted a Halloween party. It is an understatement to say that Jenna LOVES Halloween. We did our best to not disappoint!

Jenna taking a turn playing "Feed the Ghost"

How to play:

Standing over the ghost bag, hold a clothes pin up to your nose
and try to drop it into the bag.

See how many you can get in!

Abby LOVED this game.

She would say "my turn" after each person who went so she could go again.

Shannon even took a turn!

Next game was Pumpkin Bowling!

I took Jenna's bowling game and covered the pins with paper towels and tied them with black yarn so they looked like ghosts. Got some foam pumpkins from the dollar store and Voila!

So simple and so fun!

Jenna retrieving the pumpkin for a second try.

Claire throwing a pumpkin at the ghosts.

Cousins and Best Friends

Jenna opening her gifts!

A book from Grandma and Papa

Clothes from Mama and Daddy

Blocks from Aunt Whitney

New boots!

An apron made by Mama and Grandma.

Waiting at the top of the stairs for the last gift.

A BIG smile for what she saw coming up the stairs!

A new Kitchen!

Jenna's reaction was priceless!

She saw what Austin was bringing up the stairs, started jumping up and down and yelling "Wahoo! Wahoo!"

Unfortunately I didn't get it recorded because I was trying to take still photos.

It was the hit of the night!

All the cousins had fun playing together!

Notice Jenna is already on the phone in the background. :)

Happy Birthday to You Dear Jenna!

Being grumpy and not let Daddy take her picture.

For a 3 year old, she got a haul!

August and September

August and September came and went with many comings and goings!

Jenna and I taking a Sunday afternoon nap.

My belly has gotten too big for her to cuddle up to the front of me,

so she used my thigh for a pillow.

Wearing Eliza's socks and cowboy boot slippers at the cabin.

She is such a silly girl always looking for the reaction she'll get for doing things!

Playing her plastic spoon violin.

I don't know where she comes up with these things!

One of her many days waking up with "crazy hair".

We spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Cowley at Aunt Whitney's house.

Jenna had a fun time helping to rake their millions of leaves!

Wanted to have a go with the shovel.

My 32 week belly.

Jenna had a rough day.

She had fallen at preschool and scrapped up her elbow and

when she got home she turned right into the cutting board.

She ended up with a bump on her head.

Poor thing!

Showing off her owwie.

School started and we have been running ever since!

Austin is at a new school this year and working toward his Master's degree in Administration.

We're just biding our time till baby sister arrives!

Family Pictures

Due to my brother Patrick and his family moving out of state this summer, my family had pictures done. Didn't want to be pregnant in them, but not much I could do. :)
