Halloween 2011 - it is a comin

So this weekend we went out to the pumpkin patch to do some pumpkin shopping. We ended up with 150 lbs and that is even after mom and dad took 8.. or 10.. or maybe even more out of the wheelbarrow. I just kept grabbing and grabbing ALL the "babies" and loading them up. I would have liked to have brought them all home but here is the outcome..not too shabby. This year my costume is Spider Man and here I am trying it on for the "big night".

Great Aunt and some Doggy fun

As you all know I am an animal lover. While on my trip to meet my Great Aunt Paula I also met her very, very well behaved dog which became a new best friend. He was very patient with all of my petting and following and such. Here is some pics from all of us meeting.

*** By the way on this trip before we went to Oregon we went down South for a doctor appointment and we learned that I am having a HEALTHY BABY BROTHER!!**

-- He and I will share blog space once he is born
(which is most likely in January)--

Koi fun in Oregon

Here is one last pic at the zoo and then the rest checking out the Koi pond.

More Oregon trip

These are all pics of the Zoo day and visit with momoms friend J.

Road trip to Oregon

I just got back from my first trip to Oregon. There I went to the Zoo, saw my 2nd cousins and had a blast playing with them, and also met my Great Aunt Paula for the first time. She has a really cool doggie and also some really neato fishy I enjoyed thoroughly.

Here I am using my potty with a view on the side of a road ( not a lot of people can say that - right?).
And another amusing photo I put my arm rest cover on as shoe...ah the joys of road trips..never a dull moment ; )
Also a pic of me in a nest at the zoo.
Cousin Fin and I bumping bellies and having a great ol time together.

Having a ball

Here is little Elena on her bouncy ball. It took about a day but she figured it out and is really jamming quite well on it. You can tell by the look on her face how proud she is of herself.

My First Pony Ride

Ever since seeing Sleeping Beauty ( thanks J - he he ) I OFTEN ask to ride a horse. My parents response is always the same thing " when you get bigger". Well within the last couple of weeks we almost went on a pony ride for 4th of July ( but they booked up too quick ) and then now I finally got to ride! Boy did I love it all smiles for all who watched. And now after riding I continue to ask on an even more frequent basis - ahhh the joys of parenthood- lol.
