ARGH!

My favorite holiday came around again. That's HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I picked mine and Cody's costumes out this year and I think I did argh pretty good job! and did you know that Pirates like ice cream? Well mates Beau and Cody sure do!

After the ice cream stop, it was time to head out trick or treating! I think our hooks scared some trick or treators away...what do you think?

We walked and walked and walked and got tons of candy.

and we even stopped to say ARGH! I can't wait until "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" again!

We do find time to tailgate some before daddy's games. Daddy even comes to see us at tailgate while his players are getting their uniforms on in the locker room.

Cody and I like to prove to the big kids that we know how to play ball! Here we are showing them our tackling skills!
But tackling big kids sure is exhausting. We decided to sit for a little break!

The busy season

You may all notice that we are in football season. We tend to stay kind of busy at this time of year, but we still get to do many fun things! We got to ride on the Frostbite/Montagu's float for the UNA homecoming parade where Cody and I had a blast throwing candy to everyone. I also got to attend one of my new friends' birthday party. His name is Henry and he loves trains. So that's what his party theme was. I chose the green car.

Then we all lined up to make a long choo choo train with Henry being first.

We of course had to stop and take a cake and ice cream break.

and then it was back to the railroad crossing for a group picture of the partiers!

Cody didn't attend Henry's party. Instead, he played monkey outside on the ship while he wore his favorite itty bitty Gap hat.

With daddy's busy schedule, he did manage to be home one night and we decided to pick out my NFL football team. He had pictures of every NFL team's helmet on one page and after I scanned for just a second, I chose my team to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! The only reason I can come up with is that I'm totally in love with pirates these days!

Daddy oddly had a Saturday off during football season, so we loaded up and headed to Spring Park to ride the train, roller coaster and carousel. You may remember, but Cody did not love the roller coaster about a month ago, but this time he walked in and got in the same car with me. He totally loved it this time!

We quickly made it over to the train, where I sat with daddy

and Cody of course sat with mama

Then Cody and I rode together with mama behind us

Then we had to take an all man ride. Just daddy and his boys!

While we rode with daddy, Cody turned to ask mama if he could ride the roller coaster again

So that's what we did next and Cody was the first one on and chose to get in the front again.

I told him to raise his hands as we go down the hill

But he wanted to just hold on. I rode with my hands up the whole time!

Whew that thing is fast and FUN!

We finally took a break from the roller coaster and made our way to the playground. That's when Cody found his new friend "Barney"

We had a fantastic family day at the park and can't wait till the next trip!!

Last week, my class had a field trip to a farm! There they had a big haystack for us to climb on

and jump off
and they had a big green tractor to!

But if you ask what my favorite part of the day was, it had to be when I got to ride a REAL horsey for the first time!

We got to go really far on this horsey!

and I just thought I was such a BIG boy!

Once I was done riding, I got to see his teeth

and then I rubbed his nose and said thank you!

Yes, Cody and I are becoming such big boys! We even know how to take good pictures at school! Here I am at age 4

and Cody at age 2!

Trip to see Beckett!

Cody and I have traveled a little bit since my last post. One trip we took was to Ft. Walton during labor day weekend. There was a tropical storm that weekend, so we only got to see the beach on the night we got there. It was windy, but it was fun! Cody didn't love the sand, but Maggie, Ryan, Olivia and I did! We stood together as we watched the huge waves crash in.
We did find a playground on the beach, so Cody had some fun with that.
Cody, Cody, Cody....He's growing up so much. He just cut a couple new teeth and he also decided to make it a habit to climb out of his crib. Mama converted his crib to a toddler bed and here he is asleep after he climbed into his bed all on his own!
I thought it was cool that Cody had new sleeping arrangements, so I made new arrangements of my own! I decided it would be fun to get up in the morning and cuddle with daddy and fall back asleep. I don't make a habit of it, but it sure was fun!
Speaking of daddy, he's been pretty busy with football season. As of this past weekend, the Lions are 3-0 and #2 in the nation! One day he brought the quarterback, Lee Chapple, and defensive back, Janoris Jenkins, to visit my class! They showed us how to put on a football uniform and then took pictures with me and each of my classmates. Here I am in my picture!
Cousin Bella turned 3 last week, so Cody and I went to see her at her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. We really all like each other and have loads of fun together. Here we are having lunch together on Sunday. I'm not sure why Cody is making a mean face tho.We also made the trip to see cousin Beckett for the first time! He's such a happy baby!!While we were in Brandon, Logan, Mary Evelyn and Presley came to visit. We all thought it would be fun to swing together.
Then we had to swing with mama and Uncle Dade!
I wanted to hold Beckett, but Bella was being protective, so I cried and cried and pouted.

I told her it was my turn, so I was holding him and she started crying. Cody was just happy with giving him a kiss.
We had a great visit with our cousins and can't wait to see them next time. Cody said he's going as a cowboy next time!
