Halloween

We had so much for at our friend Jen's house last weekend - first for the kids Halloween party, trick or treat, then for the adults spooky celebration the next night. Livvy wasn't too keen on her costumes so we made an impromptu kitty cat outfit. She asked for candy at the neighbors houses but we "forgot" to bring it home. However, am sure she didn't miss it as this is the kid that prefers rice to jello. Anyways, what a great weekend.

Earlier today we met our friend Corie and her kids, Hunter and Taylor at the pumpkin patch for pony rides and photo ops. Tonight we're carving our Halloween pumpkins.

I gotta get candy for the big night. We used to have some but somebody ( Me) ate it. I tried to give some to Livvy but she wanted some raisins instead. If I give raisins out on Halloween, we'll get egged.

Anyways - HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE.

I Find This Funny...

This is a photo of me in Tahiti at about 10 months old (70s)

This is a photo of Olivia w/Grammie in Hawaii at 6 weeks old (06)

I can't believe the change in STROLLERS. Was speaking to my sister Kelly earlier today, who's is joyously expecting her first child next Spring, and we were discussing stollers. She likes the Bugaboo, which is an ultra stoller that tops the one in the Hawaii photo. Compared to the top photo, my Graco looks like it could withstand a meteor shower.

Kelly, maybe you should hijack a shopping cart and affix a stadium cushion to the bottom, then bungee tie the baby into it b/c I lived thru the 70s in something kinda like that...although, am starting to wonder...if the stroller in Tahiti looks like that, what did the plane we flew on to get there look like?

Time Flies When....

How did we get from here...

to here (and I haven't aged at all? just kidding) ....

I was at the park with sweet Miss Olivia Jay the other day and Livvy was running away from me, yet kept checking over her shoulder to make sure I was still there. The woman standing next to me said "That's good she keeps looking back because one day she won't." That's been stuck in my brain, and prompted me to start documenting some of the amazing things happening to the SB Keils because time does pass, and since I know don't work in an office full time, I need something to do - ha ha.

We are a very blessed family, who just moved to Seal Beach into a home that we're currently settling into. Scott's job has been going well, which allows me to stay and play with Olivia most days. I am going to try to throw some stuff up here and share fun thoughts and images. Thanks for reading, more to come.
