Happy Halloween

This year Halloween was on a Saturday which added to all of the fun!

Brayden really had fun and made the best "roaming gnome"!

As I have mentioned before Brayden loves to people watch...which made Halloween exactly his style. We all had a really great time visiting the neighbors and after we were done we had a great time passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters!

Florida!

We absolutely love visiting Florida! Michael scheduled a continuing education conference in Tampa...so we tagged along to enjoy the sunshine and the company of my grandma...Brayden's G.G.!

While in Florida we packed in a ton of fun.

We showed G.G. tons of fun at Gymboree...Brayden really enjoyed showing her the songs and fun that we enjoy weekly at home!

We took a drive to Sarasota and visited the Ringling Museum a couple of beautiful beaches and enjoyed dinner at the pier.

Most importantly we really enjoyed the time with my grandma and getting a chance to see her new home!

Goooooo Bearcats!

Today is the University of Cincinnati's Homecoming Football Game. The Bearcats won the "keg of nails" from the University of Louisville.

Brayden braved the cold weather at the tailgating before the game began. Here we are all bundled up ready to cheer on the Bearcats!

During the game he cheered and clapped and danced along to the band. We all had an awesome time!

Getting in the Spirit

I really enjoy the colors, sights and sounds of the Halloween/Harvest season. While at Burger Farm we picked up some decorations to add to the spirit of the season. Here is how We decorated the front porch. Brayden is enjoying pointing out the "pum-pums", birds, gourds and ghosts. He runs to the front window each morning to remind me they are all still there.To also help with the neighborhood decorations, this year we were asked by our neighbors, the White's to decorate a "tombstone" for their yard in the spirit and fun of Halloween. We decided to have a little fun with a play on our name...

Take a look at our spooky tombstone:

Party!

This weekend we were invited to another friend's 1st birthday! Brayden really enjoyed helping Emma celebrate her first birthday. He enjoyed decorating his own cupcake, another hay ride and driving himself around in a jeep. He really had a great time.

Pumpkin Patch

We have been visiting this pumpkin patch for a long time and really enjoy spending time on the hay ride and picking out our pumpkins year after year. Brayden had a really great time riding the big tractor up to the top of the hill and looking through the pumpkin patch for just the right pumpkins.

Rainy Day Fun

Today we were invited to play with some new friends Emilie and Anni at the Children's Museum. They had such a great time playing and entertaining us. Brayden really liked the fruit and vegetable market as well as being able to make some music while I sang the alphabet song.

I was surprised to see that he really didn't care for the sand table.

After playing all morning we enjoyed lunch and headed home for a nap.

This is how I roll...

Brayden had a great time at the skating rink watching all the kids from his uncles Jonathan and Danny's school. His G-ma took him for a few spins around the rink while he watched the lights and listened to the music from the comfort of his buggy. He really had a great time!
