Anna Kate got good use out of her Halloween costume this year. No, she did not actually wear it for a week straight, but she did wear it four times!
We started the "boo day" festivities last Saturday at her cousin Addie's annual Halloween bash. Unfortunately, the party was outside at night with kids running everywhere, so that resulted in me just chasing my one year old around... I had no time to take pictures.
On Wednesday, we went to Silverdale Baptist's fall festival with Ya Ya, Granddad, Aunt Brooke, Uncle Lee, Addie, and Little Liam.

Here is my ladybug snuggling with her pumpkin cousin before we left. They are so very cute!
Addie was precious in her Dorothy costume! This little girl LOVES The Wizard of Oz! I am kicking myself for not getting a picture of her "real" ruby slippers! Guess that is what happens when you are trying to take pictures and chase a toddler!
Anna Kate also loved Liam and Addie's cousin Katie's pink puppy outfit! Katie is such a sweetie!

On Halloween, we took a mini road trip with Ashley and Jackson, and Brittany and Ada (we missed you tons Jessica and Reed!). We all piled in my mom's mini-van early in the morning. After a trip to Starbucks for some pumpkin spice lattes, we hit I-75 southbound. We stopped at a farm in Resacca, GA where we found some very cute animals to pet (including miniature horses and donkeys, llamas, ducks, chickens, goats galore, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and a macaw) and a fun tractor ride! Unfortunately... lines got crossed somewhere and there were not pumpkins there like we all thought. We did find a cute pumpkin patch 15 mins. down the road in Adairsville, though.My baby girl LOVES animals! We've not found one that she is afraid of.
The three amigos on the tractor ride!
After she fed the goats, Anna Kate proceeded to chase them around! All of the goats were very pregnant so they probably did not appreciate this! We literally watched one for ten minutes because she was so close to giving birth (there were physical signs going on that we won't discuss), and we wanted to witness it.
Ada (and her mommy) were not as sure about the goats!
Sweet Jackson just watched intently.
Anna Kate and the pumpkins... (she would not put her bag of graham crackers down!)
I love this smile.
We had a fun day!
We ended the day with a nice quiet evening at Granna and Granddaddy's. We have a tradition of spending Halloween night at their house because they get NO tricker-treaters. I know, I am a party pooper, but we get soooo many at our house that I really get tired of going to the door!Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Want to know the ingredients for our fun fall weekend? beautiful sunshine, cool temperatures, sweaters, coffee, a red wagon, pumpkins, cardboard, apples, farm animals, a scarecrow, and family! After a couple weeks of nasty colds and not much fun, we decided to make it a point to have lots of fun this weekend!
Friday evening was filled with grilled cheeses and tomato soup (a fall classic comfort food), a trip to the local produce stand to pick out some pumpkins, and a walk around the neighborhood.
Here is Anna Kate searching for the perfect pumpkin...
She found one just her size!

Saturday after a lounging around all morning, we decided to go to Ross's Landing for some fun. Wheeeee! Sliding down the big hill on cardboard was so much fun! Although Anna Kate looks a little concerned upon launch, she was always smiling and clapping by the time we got to the bottom of the hill! All three of us had so much fun. After we got tired of climbing the hill over and over, we simply hung out by the riverfront and then took a walk.
She had fun trying to crawl up the hill by herself!
Goodness, she is not a baby anymore! Sometimes when I see her just taking off walking, I can't believe it!
We spent the day in Ellijay, GA on Sunday. We took off early on the coldest moring yet (42 degrees)! It is a good thing my whole family loves coffee, because a trip to Starbucks was a must this morining. After sipping on coffee (oatmeal for Anna Kate) we were nice and warm by the time we arrived. We hit up a couple of orchards and a yummy cajun resterant for lunch! It was a relaxing, enjoyable day.
I love babies in pumpkins!

She was too obsessed with taking her shoes off to look at the camera!
Anna Kate's buddy in the car, Chester. She thought it was hilarious that he rode with her!

Picking apples with daddy.
Anna Kate loved the petting farm! She laughed at the very friendly sheep, but she kept going back to the sweet baby cows! She was so gentle with them!
Notice her very appropriate shirt. ;o)
We ended the busy day on Sunday with making her very first scarecrow! I don't think it will win any beauty contests, but Anna Kate like it! That is all that matters.
Goodness I love the fall!Friday, October 17, 2008
My best friend Courtney (along with her husband Bobby and daughter Isabelle) welcomed a new addition to her family on Wednesday October 15th. Meet the precious Emma Elizabeth Davis. Emma weighed in at 7lbs 5 oz. and was 20 inches long. She must already be trying to take after her big sister, because those were exactly Isabelle's measurements when she was born! I think she looks a whole lot like Isabelle, too!
cozy cutie... Don't you just love her sweet hat?
So wide-eyed and alert!
Look at all that beautiful hair! Anna Kate is so jealous! ;o)
It was extremely hard for me not to be right by my friend's side on Wednesday. I am so used to us being together for those "big events" in life. Unfortunately, babies come on their own time, and you can't blink and jump across 900 plus miles. I did get to talk to Courtney a lot (when she was able) and her mom and Bobby were great at calling me with updates when she was not. Now, if I can just try to be patient for three weeks I will finally get to hold that sweet little girl! Anna Kate and I can't wait to finally meet Emma and visit with the rest of the Davis clan. Until then, Courtney will have to indulge me with a plethora of pictures and updates.Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Newsflash! After waiting one year, one month, one week, and three days Anna Kate has FINALLY started saying Ma Ma! Every time we have tried to get her to say it, she just smiled and laughed. Most of the time she would point to me when someone said Ma Ma. The stubborn little thing would just not say it! Today, my heart finally melted. I walked by her high chair this evening while she was eating dinner, and out of no where she uttered a loud, clear "Ma Ma!" I immediately smiled, and then she started clapping for herself. She knew it was something that I had been waiting for. I know for sure that it was not a fluke, because she said her new found word about 106 more times before the night was over...
On a side note, sorry for the lack of blogging lately. We have seriously had NOTHING fun going on lately. The next few pictures will show you the highlights of my last week... Although it may look cute in pictures, it's not so cute to clean up! This is definitely her new obsession. As soon as she thinks she can sneak past me, she RUNS to the bathroom to unravel the white spool of fun.
