Happy Birthday, Aunt Michele!

"Happy Birthday!"

Playing at the Farm

"Chicken nuggets!"

"It is really bright out here."

"Getting ready for the corn maze."

"Somehow, I'll find my way out."

I Love My Parents

"Just waiting for the hay wagon to pick us up."

"My mommy."

"She's the best."

"Dad is pretty awesome, too."

"Just holding down the wagon."

Check out my Pumpkins!

"I like this one, mom."

"See, I can carry it."

"Now to finish picking up the rest."

"Daddy and me looking for pumpkins."

"Our final choices."

Out to the Pumpkin Patch

"Dad, there is straw on my butt. I thought it was a hay ride?"

"My mommy."

"Dad and I are going to find the great pumpkin."

"Wow, this place is huge."

"Mom, what is this vine thing for?"

Pumpkin Farm 2011

"Mom's little pumpkin at the pumpkin patch."

"Trying to leap on the train."

"Time for me to drive it."

"Growing every year!"

"Um. . .does this mean you are too big for the pumpkin farm, dad?"

Playing in the Dirt

"Playing in the rocks."

"Looking for buried treasure."

Grandpa's Birthday

"Thanks for having a birthday, so we can have cake, grandpa!"

"Hmm. . .what's the best course of action to get all those candles blown out?"

"Everyone blow them now!"

Metamora Grist Mill

"Mom and me with the grist mill."

"If I smile, can I have pancakes?"

"Mom, is it safe for me to be on the train tracks."

Canal Days and Kettle Corn

"I have decided that I am a HUGE fan of kettle corn. I almost polished the bag myself!"

"Still munching the corn. . .if I let it out of my site, dad might eat it."

"Yes, I'll pose with mom, but I'm still not letting the popcorn out of my sight!"

"Are we done? I need to finish munching this stuff."

I am not a fan of kettle corn at all, and didn't think Kyla would like it, but boy was I wrong. I have never seen her so possessive about any type of food. Canal Days were fun, but the highlight for her was definitely the kettle corn!

October Cutie

"Mom thinks I look like a cute hippie."

"Lining up my followers."

"and planning my world domination."

Open House at the Fire Station

"I got to go for a ride on a fire truck, and it was awesome!"

"I can fill these boots, no problem!"

"Yes, I could be a medic, and mommy can be the patient as usual."

"Playing roulette to get out of my car seat and into a booster seat."

"I can wear a pink hat and still be a firefighter? I'm in!"

Woodcarver's Show and Tell

"I'm ready for the meeting."

"My name is Kyla, and I carved a heart and a duck. . .out of soap!"

Soap Carving

"I carved this heart out of a bar of ivory soap!"

"Daddy made a matching one."

"Daddy even machined me a custom made carving tool."

"I love my duck!"

"My first carvings!"
