Catch up-Part 2

Fall family photo

Daddy and Cali

Pumpkin mid-flight as Cali pushes it off the edge

At church for cousin Brody's baptism.  Can't get enough of this baby face!

 Sharing the window with cousin Parker--squealing at the puppies outside

 Cousin Brody pooped after an exciting day

 Random photo--this was the out of control bonfire we had with the Kinsey fam at the lake one night.  A friendly police officer payed us a visit--luckily, right after we finished hosing it down enough to save the tree next to it.

 The rocking horse my dad made me when I turned one--refurbished for Cali.

The Elegant Farmer!  Can't wait to live across the street from this place.

 A hayride

 A super big rocking horse!

Apple picking

 Mmmm...and not nearly as messy as the strawberry picking we did this summer.

Cali climbed right up this ladder

 The rare photo of the 2 of us :)

 Sportin' the shades

 Awww...

Catch up again

 The first of two installments of me trying to play catch up... And I skipped 2 major events this summer--our trip to CA for Kristen's wedding and Disneyland, and my UWP reunion (those pics are on my facebook page).  And these are in no particular order...hey, you're lucky i even got going on this again :)

Mommy finally bought Cali a rocker.  Don't get to rock her to sleep in it, but we can snuggle and read.  

Grammie's rocker.  Cali is thrilled after realizing she can crawl up there on her own!  Then she gets it going and says "Raa Raa" (misses the second syllable of most words)

Mom, this rock is HEAVY! 

Riding on the train at the zoo with Daddy's work friends for Zoo A La Carte

The Fall Festival up north--Cali disappointed her ball didn't reach the pins...

but super excited to find this treasure at the rummage stand!

Meeting cousin Brody for the first time.  After frantically trying to crawl over him and get into mommy's lap at first, she finally decided she would share mommy and kiss the baby.

Mommy's UWP friends and their babies

Here's Cali about to tell you what a cow says at the WI State Fair

Driving the boat with Grandpa

Cali's first official fort

Cali going down the slide by herself!

Pulling pony all around the house

 Does this go around your neck mommy?

 Cali's response to "Ready to go Bu-bye?"--she grabs my purse and heads for the door.

 Sandbox fun with Grammie

One of Cali's favorite activities--picking "tatos" with Grammie.  Then she eats the small end and throws the rest.

 Look Uncle Dylan--the leaves are changing colors!

 Doesn't she look so tiny here??!  The backyard is the one time she could care less where Mommy is--she's off on an adventure.
