"C'mon, Mommy! Let's go!"

Our first stop was next door at the Grand C's. They opened the door and Sophia walked right on in! We were only able to trick or treat for about 10 minutes while the rain stopped, and we only had about 6 trick or treaters come to our house because of the weather.

Park play with Madelyn

Sophia and her friend, Leighton "racing" up the stairs!


This is one of Sophia's favorite places now.

Sophia has a busted lip in this picture! While at a friend's house for a playdate, Sophia slipped and fell and busted her mouth!

Toddler time at the skating rink. During this time, they open the floor for toddlers and their ride-on toys.

War Eagle!

It's great to be an Auburn Tiger!

Cagle's Dairy Farm and Pumpkin Patch

Well, we ended up not going to a true pumpkin patch, but while we were at Cagle's Dairy Farm, we took advantage and took some pictures by their pumpkins. While we were at the farm, we saw cows, calves, and goats. Since I'm so not an animal person, we didn't touch or feed them. (Hey, at least I took her! haha!)

We also took pictures at the pumpkin patch at church....

Sophia got a "Sophia size" pumpkin."Can we get this one?!?!"

Celebrating Kaiya's 2nd birthday

Our friend, Kaiya, celebrated her 2nd birthday recently. We were there to help her celebrate.

Sophia loved playing with Kaiya's stroller.

Sophia's first beach trip

We took Sophia to Orange Beach over the summer. We went with 3 of my girlfriends from Auburn and their families. All together, there were 8 adults and 4 children.

Sophia didn't care too much for the ocean. She played with the sand, but did not want her feet to touch it!

The whole crew

Sophia and me on the dock at Sea N Suds.

L to R: Sawyer Smith, Julia Savois, Austin Lee, and Sophia Tauber
The buckets were painted by Amanda for all the little ones. They were so cute!

September pictures

Time has gotten away from me (and I've been a slacker), so I am adding pictures by month. Here are some of our favorites from September.

Playing with Pops and getting ready to watch some Auburn football!

" Here's my belly!"

Blowing kisses to Pops.

Sprayground fun!

Sophia with her new favorite "toys".....sweatbands!

This is how Sophia tells us that she is ready for a nap.

Relaxing with Daddy.

Ready to nap!

Giving Baby kisses!

So much fun!
