Happy Halloween!

Uncle Brad is home!

Miles is a bumble bee for Halloween.
I am going to be a unicorn. This is what my cousin Ashley wore when she was my age. 
This one is your Miles. 
Miles wants to start carving the pumpkins!

So it's been an exciting week. My mom, Miles, and I went to Iowa for the weekend last weekend. And to everyone's surprise, my Uncle Brad showed up at the barn decorating celebration at Uncle Cory and Aunt Sandy's house. It was fun to see him again. This was also the first time he got to meet my little brother. 

So Mom dressed us up in our costumes tonight, make sure they fit and all. I am going to be a unicorn and Miles is a bumble bee. The last photos are from last night when we carved pumpkins. I didn't do much. Mom and Dad wanted me to help scoop out the guts but I took one look in my pumpkin and decided it was too icky. 

Have a safe and Happy Halloween everyone!

Eating does make you tired.

All done!

So my brother really likes his cereal. Dad fed him this night and before I know it, Dad went to get the camera. I yelled, "No camera!" I guess he didn't want to take a photo of me, he wanted to take a picture of Miles because he fell asleep right there in his high chair. 

Miles, Miles, Miles

Not ready for this yet Dad.
Where's my cereal? 
Wild Miles

So Miles doesn't care for pizza quite yet. Actually Daddy just put the pizza close to his mouth while Mom took the photo. He now gets to sit in my old highchair. In the photo, he's waiting for his rice cereal, which he likes a lot. Mom says he's adding on the pounds way quicker than I ever did. Before Mom knows it, Miles will surpass me in weight in no time the way he's eating! The last photo is Miles in his jammies he got from Aunt Kerry, Uncle Mark, and cousins Ashley, Ryan, and Jacob. It's suits him pretty well...I’m wild.

My friend Harper

 Me and Harper
This past summer we got new neighbors and I got a new friend. Her name is Harper and she is a lot of fun. I even got to go to her house a while back for cake and ice cream since she just turned two at the beginning of October. She moved here from Maryland. She has three older brothers who run around and rough house a lot.

Harvest is here...journal entry from Mom.

Just thought I'd share a quick story that happened tonight. I will begin by saying last weekend we were all home on the farm and Sophia wanted to look at the tractor book. It's a coffee table/hard cover photo book of tractors of all ages, colors, etc. Well, every time she and Grandma would come to a John Deere tractor, we would all say "icky" or "icky tractor" so that she will learn that we Simonsen's are all about red. I never grew up on a farm, but pretty much you are either red or green when it comes to farming. 

Tonight, Sophia, Miles, and I went to church. After church we went to the grocery store. In front of the store there was this display of pumpkins, hay, and various other things for fall. From the backseat I hear a beautiful, perky, and excited voice, "Icky Mamma! Icky tractor!" You guessed it, parked among the pumpkins and hay was a big John Deere tractor. I had to laugh. "That's right, Sweetheart, icky tractor!" 

I go fast.

I love to push my brother in his swing!

Say cheese!

A smile!

So, my mom is always chasing me with the camera and I always managed to dodge most shots. Except tonight she got me! It didn't turn out the best as for lighting and all, but she got me smiling so she kept it. There's also another video. I was pushing Miles in his swing. Hopefully my mom can get it uploaded to this blog.
