Halloween

This year I went with the kitty cat costume -- easy to put on, easy to take off & no whining from Rylee about being in some frilly, poofy costume!

She is such a cheese!!

This is 'Gonga' & my Uncle Rick from California

And those nice brown streaks on my Mom's cheeks are from Rylee. She felt it was only fair that if Gonga got to mark on her face (with eyeliner), she should get to mark on hers. Smart girl :)

Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago we had pictures taken with the 'Goldie' side of my family. It was definitely long overdue.

Front row, left to right -- Spencer (nephew), Dad, Rowan (neice), Kathy (step-mom) & Brenden (nephew)

Back row, left to right -- Debbe (sister), Jeremy, Rylee, myself, Eddeana (sister) & Tony (brother-in-law)

'Ghost Train'

Saturday night, Michele, Shelly & I took the kiddies to 'Ghost Train' in Mt. Pleasant. It's an outdoor carnival with a 'Ghost Train' ride. It was pretty cool & all the kids loved it!!

Here's a picture of the 'gang'!

Here's Michele & Trent when we went on the train ride. It had random stops where there were scary scenes and spooky people walking around the train....as you can see, Trent wasn't really too fond of this part. Poor little guy.

Here's Rylee is the Jumping Castle. Which she loved..until 'Spiderman' (there to her left) knocked her down. Then, that was it for her.

Overall, it was a very fun night!! Rylee is so much fun at this age. I was very proud of her because usually at 'new' places, she tends to stay glued to me. But, not last night. She got right in every single line, all by herself, holding Sidney's (Shelly's daughter) hand the entire time. I have to say I was so relieved to see her being so outoing & independent. She has a tendency to act shy at times, and she misses out on all the fun. But, not last night!!

Some Saturday Fun!

First we took Rylee to the St. Vincent's Carnival Saturday night. She had a BLAST!! She even did the cake walk & won us a cake!! She loved all the games & especially the food!

Then, we dropped Rylee off at Gonga's & BaPop's for awhile while Jeremy & I went down to my Dad's bar, Chintz's, to hang out & listen to the band. We had a good time & we ran into a bunch of people that we haven't seen for a really long time (since we don't go out anymore)!!

Ok, so...maybe we should consider signing her up for some dance classes!? :)

She makes up a lot of these 'moves' (if that's what you want to call them) herself. She definitely has a good sense of humor.....not real sure about rhythm...but definitely humor :)

Too Funny, I Just Had To Share.....

So, while I was gone tanning.....Jeremy asked Rylee to pick up her room. Look how great it looks!!!

However.........here is what our hallway looks like:

Now either Rylee has too much stuff OR her room is too small....and I'm leaning more towards the 'she has too much stuff' idea!!!

And it's now 8:00 and Rylee is still adding to the collection :)

I'll say one thing....as much as she can stress me out, she's always good when I need a laugh!!

Pictures From PJ & Bobbi's Wedding

Ok, so I have to start off by admitting 2 things: #1: These pictures were 'borrowed' from PJ & Bobbi (thanks!!) because I didn't get any that night......which leads to #2: I was sure glad that Katie got some pictures of my daughter, because I was way too busy trying to keep up with her at the reception, that I didn't have a second to grab my camera!! So, thanks to Katie for catching the moments & thanks to PJ & Bobbi for sharing!
