Fall 2009

FALL

I love fall and all that it brings; the leaves changing colors and the cooler weather. It even has a certain smell and feeling. We went with some of our friends and picked out some pumpkins at a place down the street. Addi was really excited about going to choose a pumpkin. She talked about it for days before we really went. We didn't get around to carving our pumpkins before Halloween. They sure look cute still sitting on our doorstep though. We'll keep them there till thanksgiving.


Fall also brings Halloween, and we had a great time this year. This year, Addi was actually aware of trick-or-treating and could not wait to go. She was watching a cartoon one morning and they were talking about trick or treating. She came running up to me and asked if we where going to go trick-or-treating and get some candy. So I explained how it all worked and she go so excited. I think hearing that they would put candy in her bag made her squeal with excitement. The night finally came and she got all fancied up in her clown attire, face painted and all. She looked so cute.

This Fall also brought a new sister-in-law to our family. My youngest brother Spencer got married to Mckell on October 1 this year. I forgot my camera so I don't have any picture from the wonderful event. Fall also brings the news of a new member coming to the Brennon and Hillaree Baker family in mid April. We are really excited. If you ask Addi what it is going to be she says, "a baby bwudda" (brother:)). We'll wait and see if she is right. We find out a week from this Tuesday. The picture below isn't that great, but I thought it was appropriate for the end of our post. We were at my mom's a few months ago and Mckell was rocking baby Dax back and forth on the stair. Addi saw her rocking and grabbed her baby and started rocking her baby like Mckell. It was so cute. She going to be a great big sister.
