Ribbit Ribbit

This past weekend Denver and I went down to my parents. Here are some pictures of our eventful weekend! One of the things I most wanted him to do was ride in the combine with Grandpa, but with the weather lately this didn't happen!:( But we did manage to do some fun things!!!

D playing in his tent that Grami set up for him.

Playing with the seeds while the rest of us carved pumpkins.

Me & Lilly...ewwwww slimy!

D loves the kitties at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

First haircut......not his favorite part of the weekend.

Big boy with his new haircut, looking at all the curls that got cut off! Fortunately, it looks like his hair is still going to be curly!!!

Mommy and her little froggy on Halloween.

Ribbit! Happy Halloween!

We all happened to go trick-or-treating at great-grandma and grandpa's at the same time! We also accomplished getting all 7 cousins in a photo that turned out very cute!!!

Cousins Denver, Lilly, and Ruby. Clint, Nicki, Lilly, and Ruby dressed up as Steelers. Lilly was James Harrison and Ruby was the football!!! So cute and Nicki made their costumes!

It was a great weekend and we look forward to heading down to Steve's parents next weekend for more family fun!

PEEK-A-BOO...

HAPPY FALL!!!!!!!!

Love, Denver

Future Golfer???

Denver smiled big for me when I was taking his picture today! I love it when he does this! I think he's looking more and more like Steve every day!

Do we have a golfer on our hands? He hadn't even see anyone do this! He just started trying to hit the balls with the clubs. I think he's a natural, Dad!

Fall

Yesterday Denver & I went to the pumpkin patch with our good friends Dan, Jess, and Halle. It was brrrrr cold but fun! (Fortunately, Denver received a hat in the mail from Great-Grandma JJ that he could wear and stay warm!!! Thanks, Grandma!) We went on a hayride, though the corn maze, saw the animals, and got some cute pics of the kiddos. It was a fun afternoon!

Where's Denver?

Mommy and her best boy

Hayride

Right before heading home...this is the sweet, tender boy we have - Halle didn't want to be in the wheelbarrow too badly...this made Denver sad, too.

What a fun day it was! Happy Fall!

Big Boy

Our little Denver is growing up! The baby days are slowly fading and a little boy is beginning to emerge! While it is amazing to see these changes and so fun to watch him grow....a little piece of me misses my little baby! However, I am continually amazed at how much is really going on in that little mind and body of his! While he is still holding our hands to walk and still a pretty quiet little boy, he understands so much and knows exactly what he wants! I am realizing that this is difficult for both of us!!! His wants are expressed through whines and grunts, sometimes fussing, and my patience is being tested!:) I'm sure a lot of moms out there can relate! Let's get some words going Denver so you can express yourself in other ways!:) Despite it all, our days are joy-filled and delightful. I'm beginning to miss the warm weather and can't believe I have to put a coat, socks, and shoes on when we leave the house now! No more bare feet!!! Here are a few pics of the one we love.

The simple things: climbing into wherever he can fit!

I'm a big boy - I am starting to eat with a bowl and spoon! And I love cereal just like daddy!

Another favorite place to crawl into.

He loves looking out the window. One morning all three of us were looking out and here comes a squirrel right in front of us on the lawn! And about 3 or 4 birds. Denver was pointing and grunting sooo excited! The little things!

Another cereal pic - not sure why this one's down here and the other one's up there...oh well!

I'm excited to get some Fall pics taken of D with some pumpkins and harvesting with Grandpa!!! I'll try to get them up soon...I'm not quite back in the routine yet!

When the house is quiet........

......you know they're up to no good!!!
