Costume Parade at the Goddard School

Kate (a ballerina) & Kitely (Abby Cadabby) waiting to get some Halloween treats from Ms. Becker after their costume parade.

Here is Kate's class outside during the costume parade.  How fun!

Kate was so proud to be the line leader for the costume parade.  Our sweet little ballerina!

At Kate's school, they had a costume parade and then each class got to go trick or treating to the other rooms.  Kate had such a great time.  She loves her school, her friends, and her teachers.  What a great way to start Halloween!

Making a Princess Pumpkin

Daddy & Kate decorated a Mr. Potato Head "Princess" pumpkin this year for Halloween.  The Dowdy's found this princess kit and thought Kate needed to make one for Halloween.  She had a great time putting it together with her Daddy.  She is "Daddy's little pumpkin".

Here is proud Kate with her princess pumpkin!

Harvest Festival at Central Baptist Bearden

Kate & Kitely had a great time together.  They kept calling each other "sissy."  (That's as close as they are going to be to having a sister for now).

Kate & Kitely after crawling thru the caterpillar about a million times! 

Kate & Kitely getting ready to slide down together...double trouble!

They had a great time decorating cookies, watching the puppet show, running thru the inflatable caterpillar, jumping in the moon walk and sliding down the slide.  It was a fun afternoon at church!

Freaky Friday

I took Kate to Mayor Bob Leonard park on Friday evening, October 24th for Farragut's Freaky Friday trick or treat night.  It was a rainy day and kind of chilly.  But it stopped raining for a little bit so Kate really wanted to go.  She had a great time walking around the park and getting candy in her ballerina costume.  We had a lot of fun and hopefully next year it won't be raining!!

Keeneland & UK Homecoming

UK trying to keep Arkansas from scoring (from our end of the end zone).

We went to Lexington for a weekend trip with Lance & Alison.  We decided to go to Keeneland during the day (a horse racing track in Lexington) and then to the UK Homecoming football game that night against Arkansas.  We had a great day and really enjoyed both Keeneland and the game.  We especially enjoyed the outcome of the game....coming back in the last 5 minutes or so and scoring 2 touchdowns to win by 1!!!!  We spent the night and then came back on Sunday.  We rarely get to all 4 get away together due to varying work schedules and children so it was a great treat for us all.  We left all the kids home with their grandparents.  We hope to make it an annual trip!  Thanks for a great weekend Dowdy's!

Clay & Paul's birthday party

Paul & Kate together after enjoying some birthday cake together.

Kate & Clay together -- he is very sweet with her and protective of her.

Kate really enjoyed going to Paul & Clay's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  She had a great time and really enjoyed the party!  She loves being one of their "little sisters."

The Dowdy kids - Paul, Charlotte, & Clay.  Those boys love their little sister.  (And Kate thinks she is their sister also -- and they love her like one).  

We went over to the Dowdy's on Sunday morning, October 11th for Baby Charlotte's 1st birthday party.  We were so glad to come celebrate with them.  We love them all!  Kate had a great time and really enjoyed being there for Charlotte's big birthday!  It was a great way to start the week!

Nancy's 4th birthday party at Jumpity Jump

Halloween fun with old friends

Lexi, Kitely, & Kate with their masks on that they just made.

Kate & Loryn running laps around our first floor in their masks.  They had a great time and loved wearing their masks and being "monsters."

Kitely invited Kate, Maddie, Loryn, Lexi, & Olivia over for a Halloween/Fall party.  We all brought either a craft or cookie/food making item.  It was a reunion for the girls, who used to go to their old daycare together.  Kate, Kitely, Maddie, & Loryn were inseparable when they were in daycare together.  And they all still love getting together.  They are really sweet together and had a great time Saturday.  They had lots of sugar & fun.  Thanks, Suzanne, for inviting us over for some fun times together!!

Kate's Harvest Festival at the Goddard School

Kate & Mommy at the Harvest Festival at Kate's school, the Goddard School.

Kate & one of her favorite former teachers & current babysitters, Ms. Sarah.  She loves Ms. Sarah.  We have to go say "bye" to her every day when I pick her up.  She's a great teacher & babysitter!!

Mrs. Becker & Kate, she is their teacher this year with Mr. Chad.  Kate loves being in Mrs. Becker's class.  She is a wonderful teacher!  I'm so glad Kate is in her class!
