September and October!

I cannot believe it has been 2 months since I have posted! These two months have flown by, but they have been very fun. Throughout the month of September it was back to reality for Taylor and I, as we both went back to school full-time. The change was smooth at least, and we now have the routine down. Taylor is used to going to school 5 days a week and is making many friends very fast. She is in the Nursery School/Preschool room now, and is loving it!

Spetember 12th Taylor, Tony and I went to the Renaissance Festival with Beth, Dave, Coorie and Mike. She had a blast and loved seeing all the royal shops and people that were walking around.


Taylor, Beth and I all had our faces painted and then Taylor rode the horses with Corrie. This time she rode bare back, without a saddle or reins to hold onto. She did a wonderful job and wanted ot ride them all day! After riding the horses, we went and saw a show called "The Zucchini Borthers" where they did a bunch of tricks and humor using fire. Taylor watched the entire show very intensely.





Her favorite was the royal jousting. It lasted about 45 minutes and she watched every minute of it. We had a great spot where she was along the railing and had a great view of the horses. She was in awe every time they trotted by.


Taylor played at the Chidlren's area for a while, and made a magical wands that she used to make wishes! When she waved it ove rthe tree stump she made the feathers fly!


After the fetival Taylor, Tony, Corrie, Mike and I headed to Halloween USA to look for halloween stuff for our party. While there Taylro decided to dress up and chase me around the store!


October has been a month filled with fun. October 10th Taylro went to her first formal wedding and did very well. She sat through most of the wedding service, and had a blast at the reception. She loved being with Evan and dancing with Jenn. She was all smiles, loved to dance and the best part was, during the toasts, when Tont asked her to be quiet she replied with "No! This is my wedding!" She had a great time and even made a friend her age!





October 25th we met up with my cousin Amanda and her family Gentry, Jackson and Lilly at Erwin's Orchard. Taylor had a great time playing with her cousin Jackson and they could not get enough of one another. They played on the small bounce house and then went to the boig one and actually had a great time! From there thye went to look at animals together. We said our good-byes and Tony, Taylor and I went out to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. The whole day was wonderful, and we all had a great time.






Halloween! Our Little Princess Belle!
Taylor had her Halloween party at school on October 29th and had a blast! She made a lot of things and got to play with her friends all day...all while wearing her costume!





That evening we carved pumpkins and Taylor actually had fun playing in the pumpkin
guts! She was so proud of her little pumpkin!




Halloween night my mom came out and went trick-or-treating with us. Everyone had a great time and Taylor got a ton of candy! Our neighbors Gary and Karen even gave her a mini backpack full of candy! Taylor loved being Belle and is wearing the costume!
