Fall Day 2011

I took a camera workshop a few weeks ago and I got a new lens and I have been practicing on Lauren. I think she might be a bit tired of this but I think I got a few nice pictures this morning before going to church.

11-11-11 (veteran's day)

Lauren and I had the day off for Veteran's Day. It was so nice out we decided to go to the zoo and walk around. It was a fun mommy and Lauren day!!

Fall in Arizona

The weather has finally changed in Arizona. This week Lauren got to wear her boots, jeans and her fur vest. I love this time of year. Fall has finally come to the southwest!

Halloween was a fun full day. We started the morning with some great pictures of Lauren with a witch's hat. She was having so much fun just playing around.

I took a half day at work and went to Lauren's class Halloween party to help. It was fun to watch Lauren with all her friends. I love being able to watch her in these fun settings.

In the evening we went to a classmates house and joined their neighborhood for a party. There were a ton of people and it was so fun for Lauren to go trick or treating with her classmates. She had the best time. On the way home we stopped by Don and Janine's home to show them her costume and to get a few more treats.

We finally made it home where Lauren had to dump out all her candy and sort them all out. It was a great Halloween.

Spirit Week

This week was spirit week at Lauren's school. It was also Red Ribbon Week. The first day was to wear red. Tuesday was favorite sports team. Wednesday was backwards, inside out day. Thursday was crazy sock and crazy hair day and Friday was Aloha day.

Lauren had a great time this week. Everyday we would pick out what she would wear and she was excited to see how other's got into the spirit. One of her favorite days was crazy hair and sock day. We painted her hair blue and thought that was great.

The only day I took pictures was the last day in her Hawaii outfit. She was so excited.

Ready for Halloween

The house is ready for Halloween. Now we just need a few trick or treaters.
