Adam, Tonya, & Rachel: 2010

We had a blast celebrating Halloween this year. Rachel was a black cat (of course)! We had a fall festival at church on the Wednesday before Halloween and then went to Nate & Lauren's the actual night of Halloween. It was alot of fun! Here are some of the pics from our adventures...

Rachel and Kate at the church fall festival...

Rachel playing mini golf at the fall festival...or more like, drop the ball in the hole:o)

The pumpkin Papa bought for Rachel. Papa drew the face, then Adam carved it.

Rachel checking out Adam carving the pumpkin. She was more or less "not interested" in the slimy insides he was pulling out.

Making Halloween cookies...yum!

Rachel's "cat" cookie that she decorated.

Digging into her cookie after lunch...she made a mess, but had fun, so I guess that's all that matters!

Rachel with her pumpkins.

Taking a ride on the mower with daddy...one of her favorite things in the world!

Aunt Lalo and baby Kate on Halloween night...

Pumpkin Hill Farm

We took Rachel to Pumpkin Hill Farm in Mt. Juliet this past Saturday afternoon. She missed our Sunday School class trip to Honeysuckle Hill Farm the previous week due to having a rash that was contagious to other toddlers...so she didn't get to go even though she felt fine. We wanted to get some fall pics, so we made a quick trip to this farm near our house. Adam took over 200 pics so it was really hard to pick just a few to post, but here are a few:o)

Fall Fun!

October has been a crazy, but fun month so far! We love the fall weather and try to get out in it every chance we get.

Cade, Laura, and Rachel on Nana's bed...

Cousins pause for a scenic shot after the hayride...

Watch out...she's already driving!

Best buds...

Eating stale bread that was meant for the ducks/squirrels at Centennial Park...she ate more bread than she fed the animals!

How could someone this cute be laying on the ground, throwing a temper tantrum, then pause to get this sweet picture....only Rachel:o)

Best buds...okay, so this is her third best buddy...Cade, Laura, and Nimbus will have to fight over the BFF title!

Playing ball at home on a beautiful fall day...

Nimbus on the stairs watching Rachel play...and thankful she's giving him a moment's break!

September Stuff

September was full of fun! Below is only a sample of all the things we did!

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was so much fun! We started the weekend with Rachel staying at Nana's which gave Adam and I a chance to have a night out. We went to Carrabba's in Green Hills...it was yummy! Then, we grilled out with friends on Saturday night...and Adam and Mark went to the Vanderbilt game while Nikki and I played with the kiddos. Pa visited Rachel on Sunday afternoon, then we tried out the new bike trailer with a 10 mile ride on Monday. We rounded out the weekend with another grillout at Papa and Mimi's Monday night. Busy, busy, but fun, fun!

Here's Josiah helping vacuum...I bet Nikki appreciates the help!
