Carving Pumpkins

Noelle and Elizabeth carved their pumpkins in anticipation for Halloween night. Elizabeth named hers Charlie and since Elizabeth carved Noelle's pumpkin eyes into slants, we named it Fong. So Charlie Lamey and Fong Drummonds will make their debut tomorrow night!

Sunday at the Zoo!!

Noelle, Leah and Cousin Elizabeth went to the Tulsa Zoo. It was a whole Sunday of fun. They rode the zoo train, carousel, and saw many wild animals... of which the chimpanzees were by far Noelle's favorite, though she got excited about the Lion. She walked around the zoo with her hand as a paw and kept saying "roarrrrrr".

Fall Festival

Noelle and Leah attended the Sunshine School's Fall Festival (Parents as Teachers program) this past Saturday morning. They had fun. Noelle played games and went in the bouncy-bouncy and Leah just watched all the kids. Actually, Leah is still trying to figure out why Mama is making her wear the ridiculous costume... but it was a big hit. Our little lamb and little bo beep were adorable!

Halloween Party

Noelle, Leah and Cousin Elizabeth were invited to a Halloween Party on Saturday night. Lana's brother and sister-in-law threw a great bash. There was a camp fire (ie. where the cavemen hung out), lots of great food (Aunt Lana's brownie eyeballs were Noelle's favorite), hay ride, games, and so much more fun. We got pictures of JoJo (Bella) and Tristen with Elizabeth. It was a blast!

Boo!

Mama had to get a picture of baby Leah playing. The outfit was a gift from a coworker of Doug's and it is the cutest outfit. I just love how her name is spelled out on the butt of the outfit. However, Leah was in no mood to have her butt photographed.

Picking some pumpkins!

Noelle and Leah went to the pumpkin patch today to go on a hayride, walk through a pumpkin maze and go out in the field to find some pumpkins. They tried to convince us to take the big one home in the first picture, but Daddy's back would never make it. So Noelle found some medium sized ones and the little ones that she got just for baby Leah in the bottom picture. Even Leah was facinated with the little orange chew toys!

Razorback cheering section!

We all went to see the Razorbacks play Auburn on the 13th. Noelle and Elizabeth were all dressed up in their Pink Razorback attire. Even they gave up in the 4th quarter to play in the inside club with Mimi and Papa.

Elizabeth turned the big 7!

Elizabeth and Noelle iced and decorated the birthday cake all by themselves (can't you tell?)! It was the crunchiest cake I ever had... but good. Of course, we had cream cheese frosting and lots of sprinkles on the top (ie. why it was so crunchy). Elizabeth got so much Hannah Montana and High School Musical presents... we are so happy she had such a wonderful birthday!

Nana and Noelle

Noelle's Nana (Nanny Erin) and her pose with the pumpkins they decorated. If you are at our house, Noelle will eventually take you outside and show you her creations. She is so very proud.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Ray!

Grandpa's darlings pose with him to sing Happy Birthday and blow out the big 63 candle. However, Bella beat them all to the punch and could not wait so she made a wish for Grandpa and blew out his candles!
Leah also took the time to pose with a picture with Cousin Bella... isn't this a sweet pic. Thanks Aunt Lana for remembering your camera that night!

Sliding on a Sunday Afternoon!

Noelle had so much fun sliding at the park. She is such a big girl now and can go down all the slides (even the big squiggy ones... as she calls it). It is so nice that Mama does not have to go with her anymore, I can just wait at the end of the slide and catch her. All I see now is the happy adorable face coming towards me like the picture.
While we were at the park, we spotted this ghetto ice cream van. I am all for being an entreprenuer, but would you let your kid buy ice cream from this van?

Gooooo Nanabacks!

Noelle went to her first Razorback game. We braved it with her... we choose a boring game like North Texas so in case she started acting her age, we could leave anytime :)! She had a great time! Woo Pig Sooie!
