Kim!

I am so excited. It has been eight or so years since I have seen Ms. Kim Rowley. We went to High School together and it was like not a single day had passed when I saw her today! Kylie really liked her too! She keeps saying "See Kim, See Kim" when she wants to look at pictures on the computer. Hopefully it won't be another massive amount of time before we get to see her again. I can always keep my fingers crossed that she will pack up and move back to Texas, Austin maybe!

Welcome Baby Maren!

We are so excited! Jennifer and Waleed had baby Tidbit on the 14th. Her name is Maren Genna Lutfiyya. Yippe, Ky loves looking at the pictures of her new baby cousin. Good work Jennifer and Waleed, she is so beautiful. We can't wait to meet her.

Trunk or Treat!

For Halloween we went to "Trunk or Treat" put on by our church in the parking lot right outside of Gattitown (Kylie's favorite place to eat). Kylie seems to love the idea of "Trunk or Treat", all of the cars are in the form of a semi-circle with their trunks decorated and filled with all sorts of treats. In the center of the circle are all types of games for the kiddos to play. What fun! Even Ms. Linda and Mr. Jerrell had their car out filled with yummy treats... After Kylie filled her pumpkin to the brim we went over to Gattitown and had our fill of pizza and ski-ball. Yippee!

Carving a Pumpkin...

This evening we carved our pumpkin for Halloween. Last year Kylie dove head first into the challenge, but this year it took quite a bit of coaxing for her to get her hands dirty. She of course wanted Daddy to do all of the work. Kylie did have fun though, especially when it came to taking pictures and turning the pumpkin light on and off. Now it sits on our front porch as we hope it does not end up splattered on the sidewalk or taking a joyride with the neighborhood kids.

Halloween Bash at Bowie High School...

Today we joined Andrea, Will, Aiden and Josephina at the Halloween Festival at Bowie High School. The kiddos had plenty of candy as they played the various games and had a pizza picnic. Kylie also had a blast dancing to the many bands that played in the Courtyard. She seems to be looking forward to Halloween this year so today was a great treat.

Granny's Birthday...

On Saturday we took a quick trip to celebrate Granny's Birthday. We got to visit her apartment, eat a yummy meal and of course Granny got to open presents. Kylie also got to see MelMel and Papa. What fun it always is to spend time with family.

Christoval

On Friday afternoon we drove to Christoval to attend Meme and BigBud's SURPRISE RETIREMENT PARTY. Since we got there a bit early we took Kylie to the park, where she had a blast throwing rocks into the river and watching the fish. As soon as Meme and BigBud finish the house they are building maybe Ky can get in some fishing time!!!
