Happy Halloween!

We had a jam packed Halloween weekend. We kicked things off with finally carving our pumpkins and enjoying a festive popcorn ball from our neighbor. As you can see, Jesse loved the popcorn ball more than carving.

The next day we got around to decorating his little pumpkin (the one he threw at the pumpin patch--see previous posting). He seems to like it now... And, yes, he's wearing half pajamas...that's just how we roll sometimes!

And then the BIG day arrived! He was very hesitant at first and only said "Trick or treat" after he got his loot and was safely back in his wagon. By the end of the night, however, he was running to the doors with the other kids and totally loving it!

Pumpkin Patch

Went to the Pumpkin Patch today, just me and my Little Man! He, however, was not so into the pumpkins...he was more interested in petting the piggies, eating cookies, and swinging on a tire. At one point, he threw his little pumpkin down and said "No like it". We got the pumpkin anyway and I'm pretty sure he'll like it when we put a face on it.

Reading Rainbow

He loves "reading" and I was able to sneak up on him a few weeks ago. If you know the books and listen carefully, he's actually saying words that are in the book...so funny the things they do sometimes!

How far?

How far will I go to get my grumpy kid to the table so he can eat his standard 2 hot dog dinner?

Last night Jesse's doggies has to join us, they even got their own plate of pretend pizza eventually too :)

I have a feeling this is only the beginning of bribing and dinner.

Whatever....it worked, right?!

Professional Ball Player?

The jury's still out on that! We need a bit more practice to say the least. Thanks Billy for our t-ball set, we love it!

Jesse turns 2!

He was SO excited about his puzzles (even if he doesn't look it!). Jesse with his hard hat on.

Chatting with Daddy

I'm still in shock that I have a 2 year old and I'm a Mommy...wth?!
To celebrate the occasion we had a bulldozer themed birthday party with a few friends. Garret even attended via web cam for the cake and present opening! A good time was had by all and the only toys Jesse has played with all week are his new ones. As a matter of fact, he actually wakes up in the morning and after nap saying "doy doy" (translation--"get me to my toys asap!")

Heat Wave

What better way is there to beat a heat wave than take a dip in the pool and enjoy popsicles with some of our best buds?!
