Happy Birthday Daddy!

For Dave's birthday this year I ordered a Miami Dolphins Cake from {the Kakery} and it turned out so cute.  Garrett is now to the age where he understands the whole birthday/party/cake concept so he was excited to sing and have candles for Daddy.  Gannon likes to sing and of course loved the cake.

 "Happy Birthday to you!"

 And a kiss too

 This is the look we got from Garrett when we asked him for a kiss

Gannon's cake didn't have a chance

For All Ages

For Dave's birthay he bought himself a remote control helicopter.  Who knew this would be so entertaining for him and the boys.  Gannon especially loves this little toy.  Dave explained to him that he has to be gentle with the helicopter so when it crashes he runs to grab in and sets it softly on the coffee table and strokes it like it's a pet.  Funniest thing to watch.  This is Dave's new entertainment piece when I am finishing dinner.  Much better than a little guy trying to climb my leg while I cook! 

Pumpkin Patch

The boys school has a family day at the pumpkin patch today and we were a little worried about the rain, but we were able to spend about 45 minutes before we headed out to beat the down pour.  Garrett and Gannon had a great time.  Garrett loved the corn maze and Gannon just wanted to pull the wagon around.   Each kid got to pick a pumpkin to bring home.

**Notice Garrett is still wearing sweats.  Really I don't know how this happened!  I hope it's just a phase!  

 Cute little guy.

 Crazy man!

Being silly for Dad

A birthday party for Aunti Gin

Aunit Gin celebrated her birthday yesterday so the family got together for a bbq and party.  The boys had a great time running around.  the {kakery} made another beautiful cake and Aunti Gin loved it! 

 The boys on guard!

My own Ratatouille

Garrett has been into Ratatouille lately so when I cook he wants to be just like Ratatouille and help.  He pulls up a chair and stirs and pours in what I will let him.  He was in a pretty bad mood and it was time to start our mini meatloaf dinner so I asked him to help.  As you can see he was then all smiles! Great little helper. 

Ice Cream Man

I was eating an ice cream one night and Gannon wanted a bite.  This is why I normally wait for them to go to bed before I have my ice cream...I lost it to my 20 month old!!!  He was too dang cute with it though.  Gannon was so excited that he to hold a big ice cream all by himself.  NO I didn't let him eat the whole thing.  About as much as you see in these pictures and off to the bath we went. 

The coldness of the ice cream had him laughing so hard that he could hardly hold on to it. 

I think the drumstick company should have his as their spokesman!!!

A Visit with Papa

While I was away for the weekend Dave took the boys to visit Papa.  They also went to Lowe's for the project of the weekend, the fire truck in Gannon's hands.

 Gannon happy as always!

Garrett, no sure!
