Happy Halloween from Pebbles!

With all the holidays quickly approaching, this means more reasons to take pictures...and we all know that makes me happy :) We took Kennedy to Aunt Ja'Mamaw and Uncle Tim's neighborhood in Oviedo this year. There were SO many kids running around in their costumes, including Miss Kennedy! After some yummy soup at Tim and Jane's, we took Kennedy out for her VERY FIRST Trick-or-Treat experience. She loved the wagon at the Pumpkin Patch, but really didn't want to be in it walking around the neighborhood...surprise, surprise! She would rather be sticking her hands in the lit driveway bags everywhere or running in the road! And Rusty wants THREE kids??!! Really??!! Haha! Aunt Dianne made her costume for the 2nd year in a row, so special. And thank you to Nini for sending the extra touches to the costume! She was Pebbles...all she needed was Bam Bam to chase after! It was a fun night with the perfect Halloween weather!

So hard to get a good picture these days since she is on the go CONSTANTLY! We had to improvise a little on the costume since it was cool out so she couldn't show off her belly button like Pebbles!

She had her bone in her hair though!

My babies!

Exploring Tim and Jane's yard!

The Princess' transportation for the night, thanks to Daddy! And her super adorable treat bag thanks to April!

Giving Daddy a lollipop! Thanks to my friend Sarah, she loves these now!

Reaching in the driveway bags, BEFORE they were lit!

First house...the lady was so excited!

Choosing her candy...and then I took a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup for Baby G2 :)

Trick or Treat! I had to say it of course!

Eyeing the candy!

Lovin' the candy!

I think this was her looking at someone dressed up at the door.

My sweet Pebbles.

Told you she didn't want to be in her new wagon!

Trick or Treat! She looks so little yet like such a big girl here!

Patrick, Tim and Jane's son, was all dressed up to scare the neighborhood! Good thing Kennedy could care less this year!

We love the Moorheads! Thank you for a fun Halloween!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween too :)

Pumpkin Patchin' It!

What a difference it was taking Kennedy to the Pumpkin Patch this year! She was only 7 weeks last year just chillin' on Gramps' shoulder...this year her almost 14 month old little legs couldn't carry her fast enough around the patch to explore and she was trying to eat all the pumpkins! She loved all the pumpkins to choose from, the hay, riding in the wagon, and especially having her cousin Landon there with her to play. We have so much fun watching her these days, she is such an adventurous little girl, full of energy and curiosity! Happy FALL!

Family photo opp...this year Gramps didn't cut our heads off, haha!

Look at all the PUMPKINS!

I want this one Momma!

Showing off her new hip outfit from Auntie Missy!

Playing with Landon in the patch!

I love this picture, handsome boys!

Wish the other siblings were here!

I love this sweet face!

And this one :)

So much that I want to kiss it all the time!

Where's Kennedy? :)

Choosing the pumpkins for her and Baby G2.

She loved riding in the wagon! So...we went out and got her one too :)

Peek-a Boo!

Todd and Landon's turn!

I love this one!

She loves Landon!

Looking Back :)

Here are the Graf family pumpkins this year...and they are still sitting on our porch just like this...oh well, there's always next year!

We are HOMEOWNERS!

On October 9th, 2012 Rusty and I purchased our very first home together! Here's to more space for our growing family and for guests, a yard for our kids to play in, a garage for Daddy, a fireplace to hang our stockings from, and the sound of giggles and little feet down the halls! The house is in Maitland, FL (about 10 miles from Orlando)...closer to both of our works and where Kennedy goes to the nanny. There is A LOT of work to be done but we are very excited for the memories ahead. Rusty is in heaven with all his visions of "what this house CAN be"!! Kennedy, Baby G2, and I will just wait patiently :) I will be sure to keep the blog updated with the progress of the renovations...in my spare time that is!

Signing on the dotted line! Yay!

Home, Sweet Home!

Take a good look because it will look different next time you see it! :)

What has Kennedy been up to since she turned ONE??!!

We went to a Halloween party this weekend and I had so many people come up to me and say "Kennedy is so BUSY...and you are ready for another one??!!"! Ha! Ready or not, we have another one on the way! Yes she is a busy almost 14 month old girl...exploring everything she finds, jibber jabbering constantly, running faster than her legs can carry her, laughing at her Daddy, and loving life on the move! She is testing her limits now too (the world of NO has begun!) and gets smarter every day. I feel like every time I pick her up in the afternoons after work, she is doing something new. The latest is she tries to climb up on the couch. Watching her hike that little leg up is so funny and she looks like such a big girl...she gets so frustrated when she can't quite make it :( Instead of rambling here, I will let you see for yourself what she's been up to. My pictures have dwindled to mostly cell phone shots since my time with her is more limited these days.
