Go Pack!

Sydney is destined to be a Wolfpack fan!!

The cutest "Touchdown!" signal I've ever seen

HaPpY hAlLoWeEn!

Anyone who knows Blake, knows his love of Halloween.  He refers to it as his "Superbowl and Christmas all wrapped up into one".  This being said, it's no surprise that Halloween is kind of a big deal in our house.  Our house was decorated pretty much beginning October 1st and Sydney had an outfit for just about everyday.  Again, Halloween is quite the ordeal for us. 

A couple pictures of her outfits:

"Ghouls just want to have fun!"




Our yard:

Grisswald-esque?
We of course did the traditional Halloween things like carving pumpkins and going trick-or-treating, even though that was only to two houses.  We decided to dress Sydney up as a duck this year.  It was an easy decision since "quack quack" is one of the first things she said.  When we went shopping for a costume, she saw the duck costume on the rack and started "quack quacking"....that sold us for sure! 


Ready to decorate some pumpkins!

So helpful (Ok, so she was really pulling the pieces out...)

Over the years, I know Sydney will come to love Halloween soon as much as we do!

NC State Fair

We decided last minute to take Sydney to the State Fair the last weekend it was in town.  She continues to love looking at books about animals so we thought it would be fun to take her to see the animals at the fair.  I'm glad we did!  She loved looking at the ducks, goats, pigs, and cows.  I think we'll definitely make another trip next year.

Goats!
