Happy Halloween:)

 Honestly I could not have imagined such a wonderful little girl. She fills everyday with happiness and today, Halloween, was no different. Her dad and I watched her in wonder tonight as she ran house to house collecting candy, balloons and play doh. She understood the concept after just one house and all our hearts filled with joy watching her face light up. I love this little lamb more than I can ever express.

 The hat was purchased off etsy and is beautiful, I really need to learn how to crochet. The body suit was made by yours truly:) The pants and shirt are bought. I think next year she is going to be a mouse so we can use the hat again:)

 Standing proud with her cousins. We went out with her cousins and there friends. I was very surprised that her cousin Jada did not even care that her friends were there, she knew Lainey wanted to hang out with her and she went door to door holding her hand and caring her. What a sweet heart.

 Taking a little break:)

 In action

We had such a great time. Before tonight I debated bringing her because no one here needs the candy but I am truly glad that we did because she had so much fun and that is all that counts. 

I hope Trevor eats the candy because I really do not need it:)

Hope everyone had a great Halloween.

Love this fabric.

In the midst of making a gift I cut these pieces into 1"x1" squares and sewed them in a patchwork. I am in love with this material. It is Bliss by Moda and I have had in on my shelf for awhile, to afraid to touch it. I have made myself a coffee cozy so that I can stare at it everyday:) Can't wait to use my fat quarter bundle of Ruby, same designers.

Note to self, better to use material than save it forever:)

Pillow Seat Table

I love having time to sew. I see something I make it, it is such a wonderful feeling. I came across this pattern this week and went out and bought what I needed and made it today. I just new Lainey would love it! It is a little larger then I thought it would be but she'll grow into it. haha

Anyways taking photos of her is always fun, she so cooperative.....oh and I hate my camera!

 Alright I love her face here and her head looks like it does not belong on her body, hahaha.

 Running away from me.

 I tackled her but still could not get her to sit still. Oh well we had fun.

 Gosh I love her!

Check the pattern out, it is really easy to make, it uses a lot more stuffing then I thought but is worth it. 

Overload

What happens when you do not post anything for a month? You get days and days of updated photos! First of all arn't these two super cute! This is a picture of them dancing to there song after a nice dinner, I only hope that Trevor and I are this happy after years of marriage. What amazing role models. 

 Lainey in the plane. All I say is NEVER fly with a 16 month old!!!

 Trev captured this picture as we were coming into Vancouver. It is of Mount Baker, which is a volcano. 

So much character, everyday is so much fun. 

 Lainey's hat she picked out, looks so cute. (Sorry I didn't edit a lot of these photos:()

 Monkey

 She loves her cousin so much. Her face lights up when you say his name. He even lets her play with him and his little friends. She is so lucky to have him. He loves her a lot too:)

 At the aquarium, she looks so smug. lol Those are the pants I made her. They turned out pretty great and they are reversible. 

 Pumpkin patch number one. She wanted to take them all home. lol

 I love this beautiful little face.

 These skirts are pretty cute too, I will defiantly be making more.

 I could watch her play forever. 

 Hahaha this picture is awesome, Trev looking amazing Lainey insisting she needs to cary her bag. This picture puts a big smile on my face.

 oh my gosh!!! She thinks she is so funny sitting in my bean pot. Hahaha she is:)

 Pumpkin Patch 2

 She loved the tractor, she screamed when she had to get off, I think she could have stayed on it forever, this might be her future.

Hope you enjoyed the photo overload.

Bike Rides

 Sometimes I want to go for a bike ride just so I can see her in the helmet! she is so adorable!!! And she loves bike riding:)

Vacation on the east coast

This fall we went back home to visit family. We had the chance to get together with my grandpa and aunts and uncles who we had not seen in a long time. It was so great. I was so happy that they got to meet Lainey. I only wish that I brought my camera to the party:( Here are a few pictures I stole from my mom's camera. 

It was especially nice to see my grandpa. I think of him often and have such wonderful memories about him that it meant a lot that he drove all the way down to see us. I love you grandpa and I hope we can see you again soon:)

 Grandpa and the kunkel girls

 We also got to celebrate Peytons birthday! She was so funny eating her cupcake! I can not believe how easy going she it! Lainey was napping and we never got to take a picture of all of them:( But here they are getting ready for cake.

 Bath time with friends is way more fun.

 My 30th birthday! It was the best birthday yet. Dad took us to the vineyards and Niagara on the Lake. It was a such a wonderful day. We tasted wines, ate lots and got to spend time with each other. I wonder what my parents will do next year to top this??

 Check it out, horse drawn carriage rides!

 We were able to sample grapes from the vinyards, they even indicated which grapes where for the type of wine.

 Dad and mom showing Lainey. Cute!

 A couple days later we were off to the zoo!

 Look at her excitement! 

 This is how she runs. lol Arms back make her go faster perhaps?

 Check out the sweater my mom designer and made her, adorable!

 Papa Love! It's pretty amazing how all the little ones just love dad so much!

 Check out how shes looking at him! Love this picture of mom and dad with Lainey.

Sorry it took me forever to write this post. After vacation we had some changes and I got a viral infection that came out on my face so I have been going to the hospital for treatment everyday. I am know finished that treatment and on to a specialist. 

It was so great to see everyone! Wish I had more picture from the first weekend, but I can just take them from Julie and Melis blog.
