Uptown Ankeny Trick or Treating

Tonight we took Addison Trick or Treating for the first time! Some of the businesses in the downtown area of Ankeny (better known as Uptown Ankeny) had Trick or Treating tonight. It was a beautiful night, so we decided to take Addison up there, and we had a blast. She even got the hang of it by the time we were done (she'll now be ready for Halloween), she was sticking her hand right into the bowl and picking out a piece of candy. You can tell she hasn't actually eaten candy, because she didn't ever pick out the "good kinds" :)

look at how beeautiful I am :)

And last but not least, a new video... Chris and Addison were having a little fun before bath time tonight!

Chris and I took a few more pictures of Addison tonight, so I thought I'd share them too!

6 Months, Camping and a Trip to the Zoo

Last Wednesday, Addison turned 6 months old! I can't believe it has been that long already! While pregnant, I heard constantly "it will go so fast!" I could never imagine that it was going to go this fast!

6 Months 3 Days

We took the above picture while we were camping at Lake Anita this past weekend. We debated whether we should go camping or just stay home. We finally decided to take the camper out one last time before we winterize it. Although I love the fall weather, it's a sad realization that summer is over and the cold winter weather is just around the corner. - Anyway, we are glad we went this weekend, because we had a great time.

We camped Friday through Sunday, but took time out to take Addison to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha on Saturday. She loved it! (and so did we.)

Watching a Gorilla!




Addi even got to pet a penguin!

And a few more 6 month pictures that Chris and I took at Lake Anita State Park...

Pumpkin patch

Last Sunday, we decided we would take Addison to the pumpkin patch. We bought her two costumes so I decided she would wear one to the pumpkin patch and one for Halloween. Sunday morning I tried her costume on only to find out that it was too small! So we decided to take some pictures of her in one of them anyway.



After our little photo shoot, we went and bought her a new costume and went to the pumpkin patch! Addi had a fun time picking out pumpkins for the front porch!
