Sneak peek at Halloween...




Meet Alberta, the Alligator. Marisa made Maryn's costume, after hours of work, it's complete and awesome!









Thousand words...












It's all in the eyes...and the teeth...










Gator chomp!

Trunk or Treat?




Off to a Halloween Carnival, hosted by Marisa's group, the Alachua County Mom's group. Not a bad place to hang out!









See the cars in the background, that's where you 'Trunk or Treat' Let me try that, Mommy...











Look what I got!










We're very Halloween-y. Can I say that?

Go Beavers!




Even when you're on your way to the game, you have to stop and smell the flowers...









Ready to cheer on the Beavers. Check out Maryn's game face.












TOUCHDOWN BEAVERS!!










Ready to lead the team to victory. Not pictured is the Rodgers brothers from OSU, who are about the same height as Maryn. Proof, good things come in small packages.

College Gameday!



Working on our skills in case she needs to go in the game! Thanks to Aunt Jenn, in Missouri, Maryn got a cheerleading outfit from Mommy's alma mater - Mizzou.








We went to the Florida Museum of Natural History and made some butterfly wings...which of course complimented the ensemble. A good day for all, since the good games didn't start until after bedtime!








Happy baby girl! Who wouldn't be happy in a new cheerleading outfit and butterfly wings?!











Miraculously Maryn actually scooped this one up and caught it. Just take my word for it. She's quick as a cat, er, Tiger.

LIttle bit of chicken fried...



Little bit of dad's homemade fried chicken. Glad to see the youngest member of the family likes it too!









Forget the pieces of chicken, I want the whole drumstick!














You get your own!

Pumpkin Patch...



Hangin' at the Pumpkin Patch and corn maze. Family fun for all! My girls...











High on the hay bail. It was chilly, hence Maryn's coat. I think it was only 70 degrees or so.

















Lift with your legs Maryn! You can do it!












Maryn was leading us in the corn maze. Fortunately she talks small steps. No rescue needed.















Happy girls! Let's go find the Great Pumpkin!

Tea time!


Tea time with Mama!

















Mama and Toulouse, the kitty, stop by for high tea.










And, it's really good!

2020 Olympics, here she comes!


Maryn is preparing for the Olympics. Up first, the soon to be added "Tunnel crawl."










Mastering the balance beam. Her extremely, extremely low center of gravity helps.
















She is very excited that the trampoline was recently added as a sport. We're working on more air time. But, if her jumping on the couch is any indicator, I see a gold medal in her future.








This is just cross training. She often climbs mountains - aka - the wrong side of the slide.











She is doing pull ups in preparation for the uneven bars. No joke - she is hanging there. I think she was singing "Eye of the Tiger" while doing this.

Maryn's many looks...


Mama thinks Maryn can hear better with these on. Maybe Disney will sign her as the next Hannah Montana, then Daddy could retire!















Maryn feels like her hair gives her so many versatile looks. This is her young and playful look.
















This is her older, more serious look.











Daddy is home from a long Guard weekend, happy to see Maryn and Mama.

Close ups!


I'm looking directly at you...and I know what you're thinking. I can read minds!










I might smile, but not as long as you're holding that camera.











Okay, you got me!










Happy girl!
