Presenting....

The Halloween crew for 2009.

Starring: Kira as Little Red Riding Hood

Mike as the Big Bad Wolf

Kimmy as the Sickly Old Grandma

Here's the trio!

Kira had tons of fun at her first official trunk or treat where she could actually collect candy. She loved looking at all the costumes people wore. She even won a cake from the cake walk. Here she is in the car with her basket of candy. She was exhausted at the end of the night, but she would not let us hold her candy. Kira made us hold her while she held on to her basket of candy. She's no fool. She knows Daddy has a sweet tooth. She literally could not take her eyes off all her loot.

The goods from trunk or treating. Pretty good stuff if I do say so myself. Quality goods!

2nd Trimester!!!

Just a quick update on being pregnant. I am finally into my 2nd trimester, and I wish I could say I feel great. Puking has slowed down a bit so I can probably say things have gotten a little better. I have been able to go out and about a few times which has been nice. To say I feel good though, would be an overstatement. But hopefully, things will get better as more time passes.

There's no picture with this post. There's nothing to show as far as a belly goes yet. If I wanted to show you a picture of something that's grown, I'd show you a picture of all the junk in my trunk. I thought I'd spare you the view though. : )

We find out what we are having in one month! Cast a vote on the side bar. What do you think we are going to have?

I'm hoping to feel good for our Halloween party this weekend because the costumes are all practically done. So sick or no, I will be going. We must wear the costumes! Halloween must go on!

Besides that, all is well with the Courtright's. Hope everybody has a fabulous Halloween!

I finally left the house...

Since I have been pregnant, I have been an anti-social, puking, hermit. Seriously, I have rarely left the house. After two months, the puking is finally slowing down, and I have determined that I cannot miss fall because I love it! So this week, I decided to try to go out and do a few things. I made it to the zoo, and we went to a pumpkin patch with some friends. It was worth it to see Kira having so much fun.

Here's my little doll baby! I bought her this outfit last year for $1.25. I waited all year to put it on her. Finally she can wear her little Halloween outfit.


So we went to the Roloff Farm. They had a free petting zoo which was awesome. Kira was in heaven even though all the animals were bigger than her. She loves all animals! They had a miniature cow, alpacas, goats, rams, pigs, sheep, and other little crazy animals all that you could pet.

The alpaca and me. It reminded me of Chewbacca.

So the Roloff Farm is famous because the people that run it are on the show called "Little People, Big World" on TLC. I actually don't watch the show, but our friends the Werner's knew all about it so they filled us in. This is us and Matt Roloff the dad.

Kira loved the pumpkin patch. She was petting and sitting on all the pumpkins. She also learned to say the word pumpkin while we were there.

We took a wagon ride of around the property. It was AMAZING. They had a soccer field, basketball court, an old saloon town, a pirate ship, a castle, the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, and other stuff. We aren't talking miniature here. It is all life size for people to play on. It was incredible.

Kira absolutely loved the wagon ride and kept giggling to her friend Brynlee who she loves! They actually got us on film while we were on the wagon ride so we had to sign waivers just in case we end up on TV.

This is us with some of the Roloff's from the show. They were super nice folk. Very down to earth.

Kira seriously had so much fun. It was worth all the puking after just to see how excited she was and how much fun she had.
