5 months!

Five months already!! Lucky for me, Kendyl has not learned how to roll over just yet allowing me to take this picture of her. Since before she was born I envisioned this photo in my mind! Rest assured, every picture from here on out will have her bum covered but it was cute in pictures while it lasted!

Kendyl is such a fun little baby to have! She is very content being held and loved! She loves her Daddy and will do back bends to be able to have him in her sight. She has a contagious laugh and her big brown eyes are always full of wonder!

Love you little Kendyl!

Not too bad!

The time came to give Kendyl her first taste of real food, that is if you can call baby cereal real food. She occasionally got a scowl on her face after being fed a spoonful but she kept opening up for more. It must not be that bad after all!

Oh boy!

Big foot!

Look who has some big shoes to fill!

Virginia Tech trip!

Brady and his Dad seemed to have had an awesome trip! The one thing the Knowles boys can do is tell a great story and hearing about their adventures was beyond hilarious. It's one of those moments that you are just holding your stomach laughing as they re-enact funny moments. The game was a nail biter, but the Hokies won! I am sure it is a trip that will not be forgotten!

The golf course they both raved about. There is nothing like having the whole course to yourself!

Missing Daddy!

Brady left super early this morning headed to watch the Virginia Tech Hokies play with his Dad. He absolutely deserves this trip and for his Dad to be joining him is pretty cool. It was fun to get this picture from him, they waisted no time at all getting to the stadium to have a look around.

More pics to come when he returns from his trip!

Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween again!

I have made it a tradition to make caramel apples every Halloween for family and friends! I started it six or seven years ago and I get comments for weeks leading up to Halloween that "it's almost time for caramel apples", so I guess there is no stopping now. Since they are only made once a year, it is not that bad at all.

Every Halloween we pay a visit to Brady's parents and his grandmother. Then we come back home to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood and pass out candy!

Introducing Bryson as Mickey Mouse, Mommy the cat, and Kendyl the poodle!
This year Brady took Bryson out for the bulk of the trick-or-treating. Then Bryson and I went out again to a few houses. I carried an umbrella just in case it started to rain and even though it wasn't raining at the time, Bryson insisted on carrying it. This was the funny view I had for a few houses!
Bryson made out pretty well with plenty of candy!

A big Thank You, to my good friend Cassandra, who made Kendyl's adorable costume!

Carving the pumpkins!

Bryson found this little flashlight from who knows where, but he was loving it!
Checking out the inside with his flashlight.

Brady revealing his creation!

Brady had found the "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" on TV while we were carving the pumpkins. He mentioned loving to watch the show when he was young. It was interesting to see who else likes it too. He even got a front row seat!

Play dough fun!

I found a recipe to make pumpkin pie play dough! It was super easy to make and made the house smell yummy! It is the softest play dough I have ever felt and it kept Bryson entertained, who could ask for more than that!

Here is the recipe!

5 1/2 cups flour

2 cups salt

1 small container pumpkin pie spice (1.12 ounces)

8 teaspoons cream of tartar

3/4 cup oil

4 cups water

Put it all together in a pot on medium heat, stir until it goes from clumpy to peanut butter consistency. Pour onto a floured surface to cool a bit. Knead with extra flour to get the right consistency and start playing!
