Ali 'Cat' and 'Princess' Kimberly




Not sure why this picture wont turn right!!! Ali had her first taste of Twizzlers. (From Great Grandma Dyches) She definitely liked it!
Kimberly didn't want much to do with carving pumpkins. Janica stopped over for a min so we let all the kids get in on the carving action. (Kimberly was dressing up with some of Ariana's costume, She was a Fashionesta)



Then we put the pumpkins out and went trick or treating! First daddy took Kimberly and Ali around our house while I handed out candy. Then I took Kimberly and met up with Danielle and went for a little while. Kimberly got a decent amount of candy!


I still can't believe it is November! October was a good and busy month!


~Sitting up~

I've been trying to work with Ali a little more with sitting up by herself and spending a little more time on her belly.

She had kind of fallen onto her stomach from the pillow so I left her to see if she would play that way. Well...........
...........she was like this for over 5 mins. I want her to learn herself but because the pillow was in the way she couldn't get to her back. I'm not sure if it is true but the doctor said she may not crawl if I don't get her used to her belly. So you may think I am a mean mom but I'm doing it for her. (At least that is what I have to tell myself, so I wont go help her)
I gave Ali a taste of a chicken in a bisket cracker. She liked it!


~Hollywood Connection/Leaves~

 Nick and Kimberly's birthday are only 6 days apart so Patti got them and a friend passes to Hollywood connection. Kimberly took Anela and Nick brought Max (his cousin). The kids had a great time. It was Anela's first time riding a roller coaster. She loved it! Will will have to take the kids back again.



 The other day Jeremy racked up some of the leaves in our yard so I took Ali out to check them out for the first time. She liked picking them up and playing with them. And even tried a taste.

 Then we put her in the leaves and she was ok with them, then didn't like the them.......
 Then liked them again. Silly girl I think it was the sound they made under her that was scaring her. Rover even checked her our to make sure she was ok.
Kimberly was napping so we will have to take her out when we rack up the ones in the back yard.
