Happy Halloween!!!

I had a ton of pictures on my camera to share this post (surprise, surprise :)We are having so much fun with Karly... she had her 9 month check up appointment on the 26th and she is doing great...She built a fort with Dad one night...And yes... SHE IS WALKING!!! She had been pulling herself up on EVERYTHING and using it as a crutch to walk along with until the night before she actually turned 9 months, I noticed she was not using her crutch anylonger. I took her into the pool table room and stood her up in front of me and sure enough... WALKED STRAIGHT TO ME :) My little cutie pie!Playing with Grandma!Trying on some of our Halloween costumes :)Over at Ricky's sisters for Bellas Birthday party (Karly, Kellie, and Dan:)She loved the slide with Papa RickKarly and MichelleAlso, her first time in a bouncy machine... so fun!!!She loved it!Of course I had to get in on the action too!!!On Wednesday, Katie, Amy, Karly and I went to Trader Joes to get our pumpkins :)That night we carved them up at moms...Karly's first pumpkin....she was more interested in eating the inside of the pumpkin :)Rickys pumpkin...David'sKatie'sMom'sAmy'sWe had so much fun! Then the big day had come... since Karly would be wearing ALL WHITE... we decided to let her have her sucker before we left for the night!And here she is... our little TOOTH FAIRY :) Very appropriate huh?!? (I made her scrubs from an old lab coat of mine... she had my typodont toothbrush as her "magic wand" and we took a tooth from my old typodont and hung it from her halo to complete the look :)She was the cutest tooth fairy I have ever seen... and she was VERY comfortable ALL night... she did not even touch her halo, left it on all night long :)mmmmm,.... I love her!!We went and visited all of the kids in our families early with gift baskets for them and then headed over to relax with Ricky's parents for a while! Bella.... cutie!And Carlos... he actually scared Karly pretty bad with this costume, she started crying the second she saw him :/Then we finished the night up at my moms... Amy and AndreaI dressed up as the "tooth fairy's assistant" (lame- I know :) This was what we put on the back of my lab coat!Amy and Becca David- He loved his costume... Karly did NOT!!! He was going around all night trying to scare people as they came up to the door!
Nikki and Marshall (Marshalls costume was hilarious... the headless horseman, when he would remove his head he had a bloody neck, and he actually had it fully equiped with a funnel, so he drank all his drinks by pooring it through his neck! Really Hilarious!!!) Amy and ToddMom :)Katie and AmyKarly playing with the pine cones up at my moms house...she goes straight for them when she gets up there!!! ( and Ricky- come on... we all knew he was not going to dress up :(TracyAll three of our pirates...Even Uncle Bob got a little dressed up :)Sarah and NickOwie monkey!!! (he was giving Karly kisses all night long:)Amy and KarlyWe even had labels for all of the drinks thanks to Katie! (she also did an awesome cake that she did not like how it came out and made me promise I would not post a picture) Along with delicious pumpkin seeds and tomatoe soup shots that looked like shots of blood with tons of other yummy food... Everything was soooo cute! Our decorations!!!SCARY!!!

Amy and Karly... bright and early (not so bright outside though yet :/)Karly playing outside :DWhen Karly was younger Tracy was so surprised at how content she was with having her diaper changed (I guess Owie is a little monkey when you change his diaper) ... well Tracy... Karly has now entered that stage. She takes off right when I get the diaper off! :)By mid afternoon, we were all beat... time for a nap in the sunshine! Speaking of naps in the sunshine... here is our big boy king lovin the weather lately! And yes that is his stick to play with :D You should see us trying to throw that thing for him... J.K.
