Our Family Blog – Mike, Louanne, Nadia, Amelie, & Dani
This year we headed to the Flowermound Pumpkin Patch again and Daddy came with us! It was a really nice day, cool and windy. Nadia ran all around and even jumped in the bounce house and did the hay maze. This is the most ambitious she has ever been at the pumpkin patch. She did have to find the “perfect pumpkin” again. Mike captured a lot of great shots and I am going to let them speak for me.
We started out with a 1st birthday party for Cade. Brooke did such a cute job on the decorations and everything for the party.
Love the monster cupcakes!
Craft time.
Nadia and the boys.
Having some dinner before we headed out to trick or treat.
Fun shoes.
And we ended the night by visiting Grammies house in our yearly tradition.
Our tradition for Nadia’s family birthday celebration has been to visit Boo at the Zoo. This year they moved it to the daytime and had everything in one area which was really odd, but Nadia still had fun. They have treat stations for candy, carnival games and music. This year they also had a craft area where kids could make a bead necklace and draw on pumpkins.
We caused quite a sensation as The Cat in the Hat along with Thing 1 and Thing 2. Many people asked us to pose for a photo and quite a few more just took photos while we were walking around or stopped to play games. We had kids yelling out when they saw us and I waved at all of them and even high 5’d several older kids.
We also rode the train round trip with a stop in the middle for Nadia to ride the carousel. This was the first time she rode alone. Such a big girl!
They had a group of clowns out too and this guy made me smile. The sign on his walker says, “Old age ain’t no place for sissies” Awesome!
We have been blessed beyond measure with Nadia! She is a delight and really such a fun kid. She has a personality as big as Texas! I am grateful to God that we get to be her parents.
Here are some things that I don’t want to forget about you as you turn 4.
We love you Nadia!
