More fall fun



We have been having such a good time enjoying the beautiful weather the last week!
We went to Dollywood with Ainsley bfitwww (best friend in the whole wide world) Alex, and rode all the rides we loved!
We're hopeful Emma can grow a little taller and ride more next year... but we're not holding our breath (due to the fact that she's in the 10th percentile in height...) but we love Dollywood at any rate!


Ainsley has also been really busy practicing riding her bike. She's getting to be really good pedalling on her own, we know next spring she'll be off like a rocket!

Fall Fun










Ok so I wanted to provide a couple of pictures from our fall fun. Because even though I didn't get a chance to post, I've actually been better about taking pictures.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Emma from the fall. She has donned a friend's goggles (refused to take them off all afternoon), found an old shoe and put it in a wheelbarrow, which she carted around the neighborhood.
Gotta love it!

As you can see, Ainsley has been busy trying to learn how to skate. She's getting better- this is from early September when big pop-pop came to visit. She can kind of walk on her own in them, and is learning how to actually skate as well!

Lastly, guess what Emma's been starting? Ok, not really so much, but at least I got her to pose for pictures! There's lots of potty talk around the Foca house... I'm hoping soon to be diaperless (soon being in the next 6 months:))

Ok, I guess that's all for now... more to come!

Trick or Treat

Ok, so it's been forever... Mom and Dad Foca have been to visit, fall happened, Chris and I went to Europe... but my mom had a great idea- don't worry about what you've missed, just stick some pictures up of Halloween!

So I'm taking her at her word and sharing some precious pics. We had a great Halloween- Ainsley was a cowgirl (which she wants to be because when she grows up she wants to ride a horsie) and Emma was a horsie (who was running from Ainsley much of the time when Ainsley wanted to ride her). Our first Halloween party was October 19th, and we had something almost every day for 2 weeks, which is why you see slight cosume changes in some of the pictures.
This picture is from Halloween night on our neighbor's steps... before the crazy trick or treating started! Ainsley had a blast, she informed me this morning that she wanted to have Halloween again today!




This is one of my favorite pictures from the evening... at the end of the night walking back home (notice that Ainsley's basket is so full she can barely keep it from skidding on the ground).




After going trick or treating, Ainsley elected to stay up and give out candy (go figure). Unfortunately, we missed most of the trick or treaters, so there was a lot of sitting and looking at the stars. At one point, she looked at me and said "This is serious" and went running down the street to gather trick or treaters to come visit.



All in all a great Halloween...
