A Pumpkinny Day

On Wednesday, we had a dall full of pumpkins. My friend Kristen came over and we carved pumpkins and baked pumpkin seeds. Briella wasn't too thrilled with it. I though she might like the goo, but she wasn't a fan.Actually this picture was taken later in the day. You have to love when you capture faces like this.She had fun though getting to hang out with the girls.Kristen and her pumpkin. She is taking this photo class and showed me how to do this cool effect with the camera that lets only one color come through.Our pumpkins all done!!Where's Briella???Later we went to our Bible Study group. We decided to have a dress up night.
Briella and her buddy Eli.

I couldn't quite convince Kevin to wear my pants... so we went as twins instead.

That's all for now!

At the Farm

Tim and Natalie invited us all to a wonderful eveing at Tim's farm. Briella got all decked out in her overalls.

We went on a beautiful walk through the fields.

My sister.


Our family.

So cute!Always beautiful!!!Our friends, the Mudds. Joshua is Briella's best bud. He loves to show off for her and make her laugh. She loves to play with him!
Leading the way home.

Our blue eyed Girl

These are some fun random pictures.

Briella has these huge beautiful blue eyes and this picture seemed to capture them great.Isn't this funny looking? I cam around the corner after teaching piano to see Briella sitting up here all by herself (with daddy hiding behind the couch holding on tight).

Again, I just like this one because of her eyes.

Some daddy daughter time

Bath time!!! Briella has been discovering all sorts of fun things. Here she is discovering her tummy chub.

This is Briella's favorite toy (and mommy's)

She was just lying like this looking at me. It reminded me of the goofy poses we all do for Senior pictures.

Briella's friend Joy came to play one day.They had such a great time playing with each other.

A Great Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend just staying around La Crosse.

Briella with her daddy.

What a face.

Let's just say we've had a few rough nights lately.

Briella's new favorite thing to read (crumple) is the newspaper.

We tried to get a video of her laughing. On a scale of 1 - 10 of how much she can laugh this is about a 6, but at least you get the idea.

Yoko's House

For our friend Molly's birthday we went to a new restaurant, Yoko's House where they have hibachi tables. It was a blast!!! All the babies were so good as well.
Making fried rice.
Our family.
Such beautiful ladies!

Applefest Parade

Applefest 2008 was Briella's first parade. She got all decked out for the occasion.
As you can see she was completely entertained.
Yep, that's pretty much how she enjoyed the whole thing.

Photo Shoot

I was bored this morning and decided to take some fun pictures of Briella using a blanket as a backdrop. She has so many cute hats, so all the pictures were about the same only switching hats. I couldn't get her to smile for the life of me. I suppose I wouldn't like sitting all scrunched up in a basket either. Here are my favorites though.

The Rest of September

So smiley
Briella can fall asleep anytime and anywhere (except in her crib the last few days)
Our first experience with sweet potatoes. Most really did get in her mouth. It's just that her hands also went into her mouth... and then everywhere else.
Briella can grab her feet now, something mommy wishes she could also do.

Badger Family Fun

Aunt Natalie got Daddy and Briella matching signed shirts to wear while watching the Badgers.
Briella is obsessed with her tongue these days and loves to touch it and have it sticking out!
