Happy Halloween!

...from the town of Kannapolis...

We went trick-or-treating with a bunch of friends from the neighborhood and church... so fun!

We're off to see the neighbors!

... and they gave us candy! What a great Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

Family pic. on board the pumpkin wagon. No hay on this ride...

I call this shot a wagon full of trouble! Keeping warm with Mom.

Three little Northrups on one big pig!

Pumpkin Picking!

We all found the perfect pumpkins for us!

Climbing Stone Mountain

Stone Mountain HIke

Two weeks ago Dad and I were camping here... wearing tee-shirts and shorts! Boy, has the season changed! We were FREEZING! It snowed here in the morning and the wind was really kicking up! But to no avail, we still forded on and found victory atop the mountain!

... and we found some smiles along the way!

Camping with Dad

Dad took me camping again this fall with some friends from Cannon. It was great... just Dads and kids!

Here are some of us kids hanging out by the campfire, drinking coffee, chatting...

We went on a 5 mile hike!

Here are us girls at the top... Dads, up here! Come on, Dads you guys can do it! Can you keep up with your five year old daughters?

Raining Meatballs

Today, it rained meatballs at our house... well, not really meatballs, just small plastic balls: just as much fun and much less messy! (shhh... Don't tell Aunt Kristen that the weather in NC is so nice that we need to pretend that it is raining just to play with our umbrellas!)

Mower in Training

Cooper is moving up the ladder on mowing the lawn, first riding along, then pushing his own toy. Look out, grass, here comes the big-time! Can't tell if Cooper is more excited about eventually going out on his own, or Leigh is...

Toothfairy!

So, I finally lost that front baby tooth! Mom has been wiggling and wiggling it much to my dismay, and when I awoke this morning... the tooth was out! Lying there in my sheets! I surprised Mom and Dad letting them know that it is out! Apparently it came out after midnight and so the toothfairy will come tonight. I put the little tooth in my toothfairy pillow bag and will wait to see what my toothfairy brings!!!!
