November

A little fall randomness...



Our friends Charlene and Durkes came to play...we went to the park and fed the very hungry, very friendly ducks!
Durkes and Andiee throwing bread to the ducks




Durkes having a little chat with one of the birds...such a cutie!!!



Andiee and her new "Ariel" dress....getting ready for Disney on ice.




We went to Disney on ice:Princess Classics with our friends Patrick, Nanette and Mikayla. The girls had a blast...and were especially excited to see Ariel and Cinderella!



Mikayla and Andiee sucking on their lollies after the show...looking a little dazed!(=


Twirling in their pretty princess dresses



We finally got our first "real" snow...so Andiee was soooo excited to put her new boots on and go play!


Daddy giving Andiee her first "GOOD-TAR" lesson-as Andiee calls it! She LOVES the guitar....which stems from her little obsession of Taylor Swift.

Fall / Halloween 2009

We've been busy with Halloween parties, pumpkin patches, and lots of playdates this fall.



Andiee decorating her halloween cookies with LOTS of sprinkles and frosting!!

Pumpkin patch day with her friends...on the hay ride out to the patch, she kept informing me that she was going to pick a "BIG ONE".




She LOOOOVVVESS pumpkins!...by love, I mean has to hug and kiss every pumpkin she sees!



oh...and scarecrows too...she thinks they are "babies".




We went to another pumpkin patch with Kyle and some of Andiee's friends. They are going down the hay slide.





Halloween party #1...at the park with all of her friends in all of their cute costumes.



Parachute fun


Smiling in her "SeaSocks" cheerleader costume.



Carving pumpkins...it looks like she is getting into the "yucky" stuff from this picture...but she wouldn't have anything to do with the messy slime on the inside.




She kept putting her arm around her pumpkin and posing for more pictures.




CHEEEEESE! Andiee and Daddy's pumpkins





Halloween night...ready to go trick-or-treat.

Carrying her basket like a purse...and insisted to our neighbors that she wanted the baby lollypop, not the big one...and she only wanted one, not the handful they were trying to give her! (= She was super into the trick-or-treating and was always ready for the next house.



We went to the zoo halloween morning...Andiee and Daddy posing on the tiger statues. We were lucky enough to get to see the new baby giraff, baby elefant and new baby tiger cubs...we had so much fun!


Andiee was feeding her monkey friend some candy...and then gave him big hugs.



Guess who got stuck in the spider net??...maybe we should leave the toys for the kids? Ha!




Andiee's ballet/dance class she goes to every week....she loves it...and what is cuter than watching a bunch of 2 year olds in a ballet class! (=








Summersaults!....she does them all over the house now...too funny!



Andiee and her buddy Mikayla waiting for their turn.

Andiee's 2nd Birthday

We didn't end up having a huge party for Andiee's birthday because we had just got home from our big vacation in San Diego a couple days before her birthday...so we did it "low-key" this year. Kyle's parents came down for the weekend, so we had a mini-celebration.



ELMO baloons!!...she kept giving the elmo baloon kisses and hugs. (=

Trying to squirt papa with her squirt bottle...but mostly getting herself.

We took her to Red Robin for her birthday dinner (she is still young enough where we get to choose where to eat) (=


PRESENTS!!



Rocking and feeding her new cabbage patch baby




Helping daddy put together her new porta crib for her babies








Papa and Grandma Knopp got her a vacuum...I think it is nicer than mine. (=




They also got her a coffee maker...starting her out young..(=



CUPCAKES!!




Feeding ducks at the park



Aunt Tami and Uncle Gerry got her her first Polly Pockets!...she is now OBSESSED with them and wants to play "polly pottet" every second of the day...thanks guys. (=



Playin' at the park

San Diego Summer Trip

I am FINALLY posting our San Diego trip (a month later). Andiee and I met my mom, Leah and Taya there for a week, then Andiee and I stayed a little longer with my friend Anna-Lisa that lives there. We had SOOOO much fun, but we were sad that Kyle ended up having to cancel his plane ticket because of work! Here is a little bit of our trip...sorry there are so many pics...we got a little snap-happy! (= Also...they are a little out of order...it wouldn't let me re-arrange for some reason.
