Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween! Sierra has decided that this is a great day. You dress up like a princess, have a party, go around and see people who give you candy, apples, and books. She was thrilled and extremely ramped up. The picture of the three of us with Minnie Mouse was from the trip to CA last week. I will post that later. The Snow White pictures are from today.

I made the last minute decision to go Trick or Treat at the Governor's Mansion. The theme this year was "Dora the Explorer". Even the Governor's dog, Trooper, was dressed up as Swiper. Sierra was very excited to see Swiper. There was shrieking when she 1st saw him. He was not as excited.

Hi Daddy

These pictures were taken by request. As in Sierra was playing and informed me that I should take her picture, because Daddy wants to see her playing. As soon as I was ready to take the picture, she would smile, wave, and say "Hi Daddy". Then she needed to assist with review and informed me which pictures Daddy would like. I was laughing so hard, I was crying. At least that's the reason I'm giving for my big sappy tears.

The helmet is a new bike helmet to take into school. It came with elbow and knee pads. She had to try them out. Notice the socks. Yes, those are the little socks that are 0-6 months. One of the games that she was playing was to pull out socks. She put them on herself.

What is Chris Doing?

I just discovered that the Public Affairs Office has set up a blog regarding the training operation that Chris is on, Cooperative Spirit 2008. It can be found at http://cooperativespirit08.blogspot.com/. It provides a brief description of what they are doing, who is involved, and pictures of various training components. There are even a few YouTube videos at the very bottom.

Curly Pony

When I pulled my hair up for the evening, Sierra asked that I pull her hair up into a pony. This was the first time in a while that she has asked for a pony. I hadn't realized how much her hair has grown in the last couple of weeks. How cute are the curls? At least there is proof that there is some of me in there...some place.

Does it Get Any Sweeter?

The Bunny Never Stood a Chance

Smiling for Daddy

I was asked (directed) to take a picture to send to Daddy in Germany.
