.............................Thanksgiving!

This year, we had thanksgiving at our house and everyone came over. Mommy ran in the run to feed the hungry and had a great time (despite being all alone amongst thousands and thousands of people). Her run time was 41 minutes that included the massive delay at the start because of all of the people and the News 10 cameras!
We had a beautiful Thanksgiving with the family (despite Jeff catching the Bird on fire...literally!). Mommy decided that this year we were going to garnish the table with confetti in the shape of fall leaves and on each of them was a saying from someone in the family of something that they were thankful for. The table was beautiful and the food was very good too! The apple pinenut stuffing was a fav. Here's our little pilgrim getting ready for the big day...

Cotton Eyed Joe

This is the new game that we got for the Wii called "Just Dance" We tried it out with Papa Chappy when he visited at the end of December. If you aren't burning calories doing copying the dance moves, you sure are burning them by watching others try!

"Yummy Yummy Trick or Treat Trick or Treat Trick or Treat..."

Jacob could not WAIT for trick or treating on Halloween. NOt really because of the treats (although that really played into it)but also because he really wanted to answer the door for all of the "KIIIIIIIIDS!". He was so much fun and our lil Pumpkin Gav was just along for the ride as happy as any little pumpkin could be. We went out that night with Grammie and walked around our little neighborhood and he was the talk of the town. Mommy somehow has to convince our little social bug that it isn't okay to want to just walk into othe poeple's homes though! He was the cutest and most polite winnie the poo ever. He said trick or treat and thank you all night long. It was adorable.

Oh Gav!

Here is our little Rodriques face at 2 months old right before Halloween. Who would have EVER thought that after the crazy first month we endured, he would turn out to be such a happy little luv bug...he's perfect

Tommy Choo Choo Twain!

So Jacob's Birthday was on the 17th of October this year and we went to Bishops Pumpkin Farm and MAN that place was INSANE! The entire week was up in the air with weather and that specific day ended up being much hotter than anyone had anticipated (my poor dirt and worm cupcakes!!!). The next day it rained and rained and then on Monday it was sunny again. Because Aunt Lizzy and Co wasn't able to make it, they sent thier present and we got the day after the big rain. I only emphasize that because they so graciously sent an entire Thomas the Train (or as Jacob would say "Tommy Choo Choo Twain!) slicker set with an umbrella! He was in Heaven and had to try everything on that very second!
The only problem was that it had to have been 80 degrees out! Although he was sweating like crazy, he was having so much fun!

It's Bishops for the 2 year old!
