After our visit to the pumpkin patch we had to carve pumpkins. Sam was busy with school and didn't feel like do anything elaborate, so I definitely won the pumpkin carving contest in the Shinkle home. I carved the pumpkin Brylee picked out and tried to carve a minion for her (even though she's never seen Despicable Me). In my mind it looked a lot better than it turned out!
On Halloween we didn't really do anything. Sam had a basketball game, I wanted Brylee to have another chance to wear her costume so we dressed her up for that.
This is Kinzie her husband is in Sam's program and they play basketball together. We've become good friends since moving out here. Brylee just loves Kinzie and her husband Cody. And here is another video of Brylee walking. I realized the last couple videos were just of her when she started to walk. now you can see what a champ she is. I apologize for my terrible videoing skills.
Brylee's birthday is coming up so I'm working on some birthday invitations. I attempted to take some pictures of her. I couldn't get her to stand still, so I decided to use a chair as a prop. Then I thought it would be really cute to tie balloons to the back of the chair. Sam had the car so Bry and I walked a couple blocks to the party store to get balloons. I ended paying eight dollars for five balloons, crazy! Then when I got home two of them popped on my ceiling, grr! The picture I ended up using didn't even have balloons in the background but oh well. The pictures turned out pretty cute despite my lack of photography skills.
Brylee has such a big personality, and I love these picture because they sure capture it! We love our little princess so much!
