My Birthday Bash!

I'm back...and I wanted to share photos from my birthday bash!












I had a wonderful birthday weekend...my Great Grandpa and Grandma Kesling, my Grandpa and Grandma Heidi, my Papaw, my Aunt Candice, and my Aunt Bobbi all came into town to see me! It was great to see them all and spend the weekend catching up!

Then Mom and Dad had a great party for me...I got to play with some little people friends and share in my cake and presents!

And I got some of the greatest stuff...I know it is not about the stuff, but wow, this is pretty cool stuff! I have a bunch of new books that Mom and Dad are working on reading to me...and I get to read them myself and point out the pictures.






I also got new clothes...since I am always growing Mom was pretty excited about the clothes! And, my Aunts got me this really cool horse...you'll have to check out my pics riding the pony! Grandpa and Grandma Heidi got me this little rocking chair...I get to be a big girl when I'm sitting in that!





Oh, yeah I got a new kitchen...so I can learn to help Mom out and make dinner! And Papaw got me a sports toy to help me enhance my athletic abilities...I'm working on the basketball first!









Oh, and of course I got to eat cake!!!!! It was really good and I don't think I made a mess at all! What do you think?















Well, I am very thankful for everyone that was able to join me in celebrating my birthday and for everyone that thought of me as I passed the major milestone of one year!

Thanks!

Sorry My Update is So Late!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get to the computer and update all of you on what I've been up to...October was a busy month!








The biggest news of all...I started walking! Yep, it started out as a couple steps and then grew into more steps...and then into full fledged walking! I still like pushing my car around, but now I just get up and go!







And of course, I enjoyed my first Halloween this year! I got to get dressed up and do a little trick or treating...okay, Mom and Dad really did the trick or treating...I just looked really cute! I was a Pumpkin...I know you are all thinking...boring, but way till you see me! Mom and I headed to Downtown Castle Rock for the costume contest...I didn't win, but there were a lot of cute kids to compete against! Then Dad joined us for a stroll around town to get some treats. And then I went to do a nice thing, dropped off food for a food drive, and got my picture taken.

I also enjoyed checking out some neighbors houses to show off my outfit and even greeted some of the kids at the door! Wow, there were a lot of different costumes! And Dad let me have some Twizzlers!







And in preparation for the big night, I helped Mom and Dad carve the pumpkins...well, okay I stuck my hand in the pumpkin a couple of times to see what it felt like...then I went to bed so Mom and Dad could finish.







I also went to my first pumpkin patch to pick out my pumpkin! It was a lot of fun and I hope I get to go again next year. You'll have to check out the photos...there were so many pumpkins I don't know how a kid can choose!










Mom and Dad and I watched "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!" Okay, I watched for about 2 minutes, but then I had to go off and do some playing!








And, I went to watch Dad and a bunch of guys from his work play football...it was a nice Sunday afternoon at the park. And Mom and I got to take a stroll in my stroller.

I've attached a sampling of my photo ops from the month...hope you all enjoy! And stay tuned for my next update...its the biggest of the year!

Catch you all again soon,
Reese
