Halloween Part I!

This past Thursday we had the annual Parke Halloween parade at Nana and Pop's!  It was a huge crowd this year and everyone really enjoyed it!  Cora was so excited to dress up with her brother and cousins.  We took some pictures and then went trick-or-treating.  The girls were very into it.  Josh is slowly starting to walk, but he is very SLOW!  So he rode in Nana's car and got pushed around.  He had his little Halloween bucket and would reach out for the candy, it was so cute!  We are ready for the real Halloween on Wednesday.  It is suppose to be much colder then, so we are glad we had warm weather for the parade!

Pumpkin Patch!

We have been so busy this fall! And we are loving every minute of it! This is a late post but a few weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch with the McGuire's and their neighbors Lissy, Anna, and Laney. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect! Cora picked out her pumpkins and of course had to get one for her daddy and brother. Nana kept Josh which helped me out a lot! What a fun day with just my girl and I!

A special day..just the two of us!

Apple picking!

This past Saturday we went to our favorite fall event...apple picking at Carter Mountain! We went with the Mcguires, Meehans and Nana! Pop was busy working in the yard:) We had a great time and picked our favorite apples in the Fuji orchard! Of course we had apple donuts and packed a picnic lunch! We also went on the hayride which is always a favorite! What a great time with friends and family...nothing like good ole' fall fun!!

Sweet brother and sister!

Busch Gardens!

Last week we went to our annual fall Busch Gardens trip!! It was a little warmer than usual but we still had a blast! Cora enjoyed all the rides and even went on the roller coaster all by herself with Isabella. I even convinced Cora to ride the big swings with me...and she loved it!! Josh could only ride the little swings and he seemed to enjoy it;). What a wonderful day with friends...love love love fall activities! I didn't take too many pictures since I had a busy one year old to entertain since he couldn't go on the rides!

The girls were able to ride by themselves!

Josh's only ride he could go on!

So much fun!

Riding with Ellie!

Disney on Ice!

This past weekend we went to Disney on Ice with Aunt KK, Madelyn and Ellie! It was such an amazing show...the best we've seen yet! Cora was so excited, I loved to watch her excitement and share such fun times with her cousins! I enjoyed the show myself and get so excited to go every year!

Cora all ready to watch the show!

The girls were so excited!

Here we go!



What an awesome show!!



Cora and Ellie were all giggles, Madelyn took it all in!

Showing lots of love!  Poor Madelyn in a head lock!

My sweet Cinderella and I:)





Richmond Strikers!

I signed Cora up for soccer back in early summer and I've been so excited for her to start her little soccer league! She is in the 4U Richmond Strikers league and two of her preschool friends are on her team too-Alex and Talia! Today she had her first game and did awesome! She listened well, ran fast, and kicked the ball really well! She was eating lunch after the game and said..."I don't think I scored a goal..." I told her she would next time!!  She has a game every Saturday until the end of October...I think I may be more excited than she is!

Talia and Cora!

Running fast!

So excited before the game...with her pink socks and ball!

Listening to directions during practice!

So cute!



She was very fast!



More practicing!

She got a popsicle after the game!

She looked so cute with her short hair!

Such good little friends!
