Festival fun!

We went to Fall Festival on Saturday. There was so much to do! Here I am wanting to ride the horse.

Here I am wanting to NOT ride the horse:)




Sliding with Daddy!

Fun after the festival...

'Bama Joyce and I spent a while looking through her photo albums after I went trick-or-treating at her house. I loved seeing Daddy as a kid!

Look very closely at the image on the TV screen. Do you know who that is? That' s my mommy when she was 5 years old! I sat for the longest time, awed by the little girl who looks so much like me.

Carving Time!

The finished product!


I decided I liked sorting the pumpkin seeds from the yucky stuff better than pulling the yucky stuff out. This I can handle!

Punkin' Pickin'

Finally, time to pick some pumpkins! I loved petting all the pumpkins, and wanted to take them all home with me.



























Everyone needs a little love!

Visiting Nana

Nana had surgery and was hospitalized for over a week. I just had to go see her for myself and make sure she was okay. After checking on her, I got comfortable in Papaw's chair.

Fun at the park

One Sunday afternoon, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to the park. I loved being outside in the cooler weather.

Welcome!

My best friend, Emma, is a big sister! Claire Elizabeth arrived on October 25, 2007. Mommy, Daddy, Big Sister, and Baby are all doing well. Congratulations!!! (Isn't she cute?!)

Family time

The first weekend in October was my Nana Phyllis's family reunion.

Here I am with Mommy and my great-grandma, 'Bama 'Ceil.

Chris and I share a hug (unwilling on my part).

Katie and I share a hug (unwilliing on her part!).

Always fun is the old playground! Mommy and Aunt 'Chelle played here when

they were little, too!

Katie has a funny way of getting around--she scoots on her behind! I tried it, too, but I'm not as fast as she is!

Our trip to the beach!

Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Myrtle Beach for my first beach trip in September. We spent hours at the beach everyday. I loved playing in the sand and surf.

My first steps in the sand!

Everyday we spent at least 3 or 4 hours at the pool. I am definitely a water bug! I couldn't decide which I enjoyed more--the lazy river or the 2 foot deep toddler pool!

I had my first mini-golf experience while we were at the beach. I loved it! I waited patiently for my turn (and there were 6 other people playing!!!), and held on to the ball and the club the whole time. I even got a hole in one!

My favorite part of the game was getting the ball out of the hole!

Here I am, trying to make a run for it while Mommy and Daddy are otherwise occupied. Sadly, it didn't work. Aunt Beth caught me on camera, and Mommy and Daddy started laughing, and grabbed me.

The silly faces of Mackenzie at mealtime!

Mommy and I enjoyed one last evening watching the waves. We had such a great time, and can't wait to go back to the beach next year!

Relaxing on Labor Day

Mommy, Daddy, and I went strolling this weekend, and I loved interacting with the statues.

I also enjoyed laying by the fountain, and almost went to sleep!

Fun at the museum!

Mommy and I went to a children's museum a few weeks ago. I had a blast. I played with moon sand, painted, tried to open the magical doors of Sesame Street, painted some more, and played dress up. We were there for over 4 hours, and not once did I want to leave. We will definitely be going back!

Taking a short break to recharge!
