Happy Halloween!

This Halloween we dressed up as Dorothy and. . .


the Cowardly Lion!


Ok, I am not really a coward, my sister just keeps picking on me and I have had enough!!!

Everything was better once I saw Auntie brought over Zadie aka Toto!

Getting two kids and one dog to sit still long enough for a picture was tough work!

Hope everyone had a super Halloween! We sure did!

Have a scream!

1 year and 2 1/2 year pictures

We had these taken awhile ago, but kind of forgot about posting them! :-)

He loves playing hoops!

There is no question about it, our little guy loves basketball! Tonight he carried his ball around for over an hour, where ever he went! He would walk up to the basketball hoop, stand on his tippy-toes, reach up with all his might, and try to throw the ball. Then he would chase after it and do it over and over. The ball never actually made it into the air when he would throw it. . . it more so would just fall out of his hands, but it was still pretty cute watching him play.

And as you can tell by the first picture when he is bringing his ball back to the hoop, with his tongue out. . . we might have a little Jordan on our hands! ;-)

Pumpkin Carving!

Today we finally got around to carving our pumpkins we got from the pumpkin patch!


Getting all that slimy stuff out is tough work!

Daddy helped get our Jack-o-Lanterns just right!

Yep, they turned out pretty good!

And. . . they taste pretty good too!

Weekend fun!

Daddy left yesterday for the Vikings football game. We miss him, but we have kept very busy reading books, coloring pictures, playing with play dough, watching movies, playing in our tent. Here are a couple pictures from our fun weekend at home!

One Year Check-up

Our tough little boy ended up getting 5 shots today! He handled it better then his sister, who got the nasal mist flu vaccination and cried more then he did!

We found out that he weighs 19 lbs. 15 oz. ~ 15%, was 30 3/4 inches tall ~ 80%, and his head was 46 cm. ~ 40%.

Party #3

Wow, this is a lot of partying for a little guy! Good thing I like parties. . . not to mention cupcakes!


Yep, these are good cupcakes!



REALLY good and messy cupcakes! :-)


On to the presents!

My sister and cousin were really good helpers!

How cute is that?!?!

Hey! Wait a second. . . I didn't say she could play with MY toys!

We love the books!

And the plastic cover to the LEGOS. . . they will provide us with hours of entertainment!

This partying stuff is hard work! Doesn't she look cute in my old PJ's?

Thank you EVERYONE for coming to my parties and for all the gifts! I have the best family and friends a one year old could ask for! Hugs and Kisses to you all!

Party at Daycare #2

I had another birthday party at daycare today! Yum, more cupcakes!


And more presents!


All my "monster" friends were there to join in on the fun! (Sorry we are missing a couple of you in the picture! Getting you all to stand in one spot is asking a lot!)

And the scariest monster of them all!

Good Morning Birthday Boy!

Mommy was not very nice this morning! First she came in signing "Happy Birthday" while I was still trying to sleep. Then she turned the lights on and started taking pictures of me . . . which I again did not think was very nice! Oh yeah, take a good look at my crib. . . see all those scratches. . . that is from my teeth! Nice huh!


OK, that is enough Mom. . . pick me up and stop taking pictures!!!



Still a sleepy head! Can you tell Mommy is more excited about this birthday thing then me?!?!

Birthday Party # 1

OK, I got a lot of grief today because I did not update the blog as soon as party number one was done!. . . So here it is!

The party favors, filled with candy and jumping monsters!

The cake that Mommy made.

Yep, there were LOTS of little monsters lurking around!

And some big monsters too!

The birthday boy with is monster cupcake!

He wouldn't leave on his monster hat! But, I did manage to get one quick shot of him! Look at that messy boy!

On to the presents before nap time!. . . by far his favorite part!

And another little monster's favorite part too! :-)
