He's Not "Loosey Goosey"

Garrett and now Gannon's school has a Fall Harvest Feast everyyear and this year Garrett and his little friends were so cute. As soon as Caroline and her family arrived they were running around holding hands! Really what are they teaching at this place!?! They have been in the same room for a year or more now are she holds her own with the boys - Garrett's been pushed over a few times by this little one. They are all so cute!

I can't believe Gannon is already 10 months old. It seams like just yesterday when we counting down the days of his arrival. He sure has a fun little personality, keeps us on our toes, even Garrett. He discovered the stairs some time ago and if we don't have them blocked off he is right there trying to go up. If we are not right there, Garrett is telling him no! I have let him climb up with me right behind him and he is actually pretty fast. He is a little light to my day, everyday! Love you little guy.

Trying to make is way up
Oh so excited he thinks he's on his way - yeah right!

Happy Halloween!

Garrett has been so excited to wear his costume and the day final arrived! We started with a quick visit to the Evans' Family and then headed out to Trick or Treat. Gannon really didn't appreciate having his monkey costume on his head so most of the night it was off. We had a great time watching our little Buzz Lightyear this year.

Oh, Daddy even got a little treat from a guy - random!

To Infinity and Beyond!!!

Pooped little monkey - time to go home!

I wanna ride the bus!

Garrett has been telling us lately that he wants to ride the bus. If we are driving and he sees a school bus you'll hear in the backseat say, "I wanna ride the bus". Atwater FFA goes on a Corn Maze trip every year so this year, Garrett got to ride the bus! He was so excited to spend the evening with Dave and all the big kids for a trip to the pumpkin patch. Dave said he was so excited when he saw the bus pull up at the school that he wouldn't even eat his dinner!

"That's a lot of pumpkins" as Garrett would say
Pumpkins to bring home

Being a big boy on the bus

Wonder Pets!!!

In effort to create some potty training excitement Grandma bought Garrett a pack of big boy underwear. Wonder Pets our his favorite so he was very excited - to put them all on. Any time he puts on underwear all of his clothes have to come off, except his shoes! The underwear came in a three pack and of course he had to put them all on so here is the result. Way to funny, although he still wants nothing to do with the potty...some day.

4 Years and a birthday!!!

Dave and I like to incorporate whatever the traditional gift for anniversaries that particular year into our gift. So this year was Fruit and Flowers. I really wanted to get Dave new saddle bags for his motorcycle, well I knew that was something he wanted, and of course that didn't fit the theme. So I put my creative thinking cap on and decided I would YouTube how to make money flowers. There was a great little training video so I thought, I can do this. With the help of my mom's bank I picked up crispy bills and went to creating flowers. Dave seemed pretty excited about the flowers left on his vanity in the morning!

The real present was given by my mom. She offered to watch the boys for the weekend so for Dave's birthday I surprised him with a night in San Francisco and Wicked play tickets. We had a great time together and of course missed the boys!!!

Columbia

We spend the weekend camping in Columbia and visited a few of our favorite spots. Railtown is one of Garrett's favorites, you get to play with trains, climb on trains, and even ride the train. Dad and Dianne joined us for the day and it was great fun. We of course had lunch at this great little saloon/restaurant that has good sandwiches and the coldest beer in town! There was a man playing his guitar and harmonica in the street and I swear Garrett could have danced and played his air guitar all day. Thanks to cousin Allison he even now has his own harmonica.
