Halloween is fast approaching!

There were some nicer days this last week, so we managed to get outside and enjoy the fall weather. Kieryn still loves playing in the water, so I set her buckets up and she played for nearly 40 minutes on day!

After the K-State victory on Saturday, we headed over to Carrie & Ryan's for a Halloween party. It was a lot of fun and boy were there some GREAT costumes! We dressed as robbers and Kieryn was our loot! Sadly there were no other kids for her to play with,   but she had fun with Ryan and Lu... and giving high fives to everyone at the party.

I didn't get pictures of every couple, but this was Daniel and Lu. Lu was afraid that her costume would scare Kieryn and feared she wouldn't be able to sleep, but we explained it was a mask and that Lu was being silly. By the end of the night, the two were playing peek-a-boo, and Kieryn slept like a rock!

Carrie did a great job on the food spread!

On Sunday, we visited Seneca for some trick-o-treating! Kieryn dressed as a witch!

Kieryn's funny face...

We visited Great Grandma & Grandpa Bergman.

And then visited my cousin Stacey. We couldn't resist meeting their new addition, Josie (5 weeks).

McKenzie and Kieryn had a blast playing together. There were lots of toys to keep them entertained.

After trick-o-treating, Grandpa took Kieryn out to see all the animals. She loved it!

She even got to help gather the eggs from the hen house.

What a fun week and weekend! Since Halloween is on Wednesday, there will most likely be another post towards the end of this week. Thanks for visiting our blog! Happy Halloween (a bit early)!

Fall is officially here!

Kieryn had lots of fun outside this week (when it wasn't windy or freezing cold). We played in the leaves, hit golf balls, played in the sandbox, and of course, fed the birds (her favorite activity).

She now knows how to show her tongue and her teeth...

Feeding those birds...

This weekend, we had another garage sale... trying to downsize before a potential move next May. You may notice that Kieryn doesn't quite look herself in some of these last pictures... she didn't sleep very well over the weekend due to some serious teething. She's getting in four molars at the same time. She was miserable....in lots of pain, just wanted to be held, REAL swollen gums, didn't want to eat, couldn't sleep, and ran a high fever. YUCK, NO FUN!!!

She did manage to have moments of feeling ok...during one of those times, Daddy taught her where her coat pockets were and we were asking her "where did your hands go"... you can see her response...

On Sunday, we ventured to Auburn to visit the Copp family. Many of them hadn't seen Kieryn since May, so it was fun for them to see how big she's gotten and good for us to catch up with everyone! She LOVED playing with Haley. The two of them were having lots of fun with Grandmom's toys. Kieryn just loved sitting on her lap!

Hopefully we're on the down hill slide of the teething... we really need some sleep!

We girls like to have fun!!

What a fun week this was! Grandma Haug came to stay with us Wednesday thru Saturday while Steven was at his conference in Colorado! Kieryn was very excited to get to spend some quality time with Grandma...

We went to a mini "Octoberfest" at the Riley Co. Health Department. Kieryn loved the apple muffins, live music, and all the pumpkins!

She had to show Grandma how good she's gotten at feeding the birds. We keep a bucket of bird feed by the back door to feed the birds each morning. She loves to get it herself and dump it on the feed stands. She could go back and forth all day if we'd let her! Her first REALLY BAD tantrum was after I'd stopped her once she'd been going for about 10 minutes.

We even took Grandma to playgroup! Kieryn was showing Grandma all her favorite toys and putting on quite the show!

  

Kieryn loved playing with Grandma... wearing her necklaces and her shoes... they had so much fun!

We did some shopping at the mall and threw some pennies in the water fountain.

While Kieryn slept, Grandma and Mommy had craft time! It was so much fun! Check out our projects!

One morning we knew that Kieryn was missing Daddy... she set up her table just like Daddy does... computer out, books to study, cup of coffee, and feet up! 

We watched the Wildcats on Saturday and Grandpa drove down to join us! Kieryn had so much fun watching them defeat Iowa St. while playing with Grandpa! Uncle Travis stopped by briefly but I didn't get any pictures. Kieryn just LOVES him! She was bringing books to him and wanted to sit on his lap the whole time he was here.

She had a blast with Grandpa's hat...

Thanks again Grandma (and Grandpa) for such a fun week and weekend!
