Evans Events: October 2010

Trick or Treat!

We went over to Mackenzie's house to trick or treat. Mack was Bell and Abby was a ballerina/princess. :) Here they were putting on their shoes and socks to head out!

Cheryl stayed behind with Brooklyn and the Dads, girls and I headed out to trick or treat.

Bye Bye Brooklyn and Cheryl :)

Everyone thought they were the "cutest thing they had ever seen". :) At the first house Abby tried to give them a tootsie roll she had gotten from Mack's house. It was pretty funny. She figured it out pretty quick after that though. She also wanted to hold on to every piece of candy until she got to the next house. I told her that if she didn't put it in her bag that the next house wouldn't give her more candy.

Cutie pie!!

Later we stopped by Grammy's house. Abby got to help pass out some candy. Uncle Dave scared her by putting his hood on and acting like he was a trick or treater. :)

October Pictures

Abby enjoyed playing with the name tags that I was making for my kindergarteners. :)

What a big girl!! My friend Melissa is due with her first child a week after me. She ended up buying our stroller and infant carrier. Abby had to have one last sit before she said goodbye. :)

She insists on wearing her bath towel on her head to bed each night. She is eating peanut butter on a spoon like Mackenzie does. :) Dan and I like to do it too but I hadn't given any to her on a spoon before.

Halloween card from Grammy.

Money for her piggy bank and STICKERS!!!

Notice the sticker on her belly button. She consistently puts stickers on her belly button. Funny girl!

Putting her money in her piggy bank. Uncle Dave recently taught her that George in on the one dollar bill. So now anytime she sees money she points to the man on it and says "George"!

EZ Orchards

After I got over the initial shock of paying $7 per person to get in, we did enjoy ourselves. Abby was free and she was the one doing everything!! :) Abby loved the little playground area. She did both slides and Daddy helped her climb up the rock wall.

School bus!

She insisted on wanting to talk to this goat and he would not turn around and look at her! It was hilarious!!

Mama pig and her babies. I love the squat with her hands behind her back.

Grammy waited in the long line for Abby to ride the pony. It turns out that if they are under 3 they just get to sit there on the horse. Bummer because it was her third time to ride a horse or pony and so she didn't really understand why they weren't going anywhere!! She loved it anyway. A few days later she was talking about the pony named Cookie and how she said "bye bye Cookie". She has a great memory!!

They have a cool corn maze in the shape of Oregon and they have a hay mountain and other things inside of it to represent things in Oregon. This is a huge slide and she went all by herself. Dan went with her the first time and hit the back of his head on the way out. Ouch!

Smile!! A family of 3 for only a little while longer!

Abby and Grammy. :)

Picking out her pumpkin.

Driving a tractor...

and lassoing a steer. :)

The Little Gym

My friend Julie was in town from Colorado and she invited us to her daughter's birthday party at The Little Gym in Tigard. We had never been there but it was pretty fun. Abby loved trying all the things out. She is really good at walking on the balance beam.

The rings were fun too.

She hung on the low bar...

They had this big race track mat that they blew up and the kids could run on it. The boy in the yellow is Corvin my friend's son. He and Abby were born a week apart I think.

Abby helped pick up the dots when they were done with them. :)

She loved this!!

and she hung on the high bar!!

She wanted to hold my friend's daughter Scarlett for the group picture. It was pretty cute.

Happy First Birthday Scarlett!!

Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch

We thought it would be fun for Abby to go to the pumpkin patch with her cousin Arden and Grandma. So one rainy Saturday we journeyed out to Sauvie Island. We had never been there and Dan's brother and his wife hadn't been there for a long time. It was a fun drive and definitely worth the drive.

Grandma got Abby some boots and they came in handy because it was VERY muddy and wet. The nice thing is that it didn't really rain while we were there.

They have a market with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. This zuchinni was huge!!!

Abby and I rode on a little cow train ride. We were the second to last car so we felt every turn. I kept praying that it wouldn't tip over as the driver went around turns and there were like 10 or 12 cow cars attached. We had fun. :)
