Halloween

We had a busy October - Halloween is always so much fun, and it was extra fun this year with Cooper! We had something fun to do almost every weekend - we went to the Pumpkin Festival at Stone Mountain, a party at our neighbor's house, the Zoo to Trick-or-Treat, Mama's office to Trick-or-Treat, and plus we got to see all of our grandparents on Halloween! Halloween night was a little messy, but we all went out in the rain and had a great time and got lots of candy!



Picking out the perfect pumpkin at Stone Mountain:





I found it!





Mama and Cooper at the Zoo. And this is the only picture we have of our day at the Zoo because I refused to cooperate.




Helping Mama make some brownies. Please take a moment to admire my slippers, I am very proud of them:




Enjoying a treat after Trick-or-Treating at Mama's office:




Having a sword fight with some friends and Daddy at our neighbor's party:





Batman is ready to Trick-or-Treat!




I gave Papa and Bebe a tour of our neighborhood so I could show them all of the spooky decorations. I love it!




Ready to head out to Trick-or-Treat!






Cooper had to turn in early from Trick-or-Treating because it started to rain too hard and he was getting tired. So he helped Grandmama hand out candy while me and Mama and Daddy went back out:

Fall Festival

We spent the afternoon today at a Fall Festival and had a great time - Mama, Daddy and Cooper watched as I played my little heart out and I think they were pretty entertained :) It was all fun and games until I got too excited/distracted and peed on Daddy. Sorry Daddy! But luckily my parents thought something like that just MIGHT happen and brought a change of clothes for me. But none for Daddy. Whoops!



Making friends with the bunnies and trying to feed them a leaf:



I really loved this pig too:



Where does one even start to get all of the tangles out of this huge cow? I need about 12 more hands:



This pretty little pony just slept the whole time. Kind of like Cooper did:



Concentrating really hard on getting up this hill!



The Bouncy is always a huge hit, even if it does smell like feet:



They even had pony rides!



And this may have been my favorite part - showing off my football and baseball skills!



I hit several home runs here! I will probably try out for the Braves Farm Team next year:



Now here's something I've never done before:



Sitting in a tractor with a REALLY high bucket!



Once we were back in the car, Cooper decided to wake up. He has great timing!

Micah's Last Day

Today was my friend Micah's last day at school - I am really going to miss seeing him every day! We have been buddies from the first day we met - he has been my favorite rock-inspecting partner, a funny friend to laugh with and my constant playground playmate. We are going to miss you, Micah!

Happy Sunday!

This morning, Daddy went to race in a triathlon at Lake Lanier. We all wanted so badly to be there to cheer Daddy on, but we heard parking would be terrible, it was cold out and Cooper was not feeling great. So while Daddy was gone, we played, ate lots of yummy food and even cleaned up a little! We'll be there for the next race, Daddy - you make us boys so proud! We can't wait to do a race with you one day!



Enjoying some yummy pudding after working hard around the house:



Singing to anyone who will listen. This is my new favorite pastime.



Molly likes to keep watch over me while I play. I love her very much!




Back to work! For some reason I find vacuuming and mopping endlessly entertaining. When does this wear off?




Daddy's back! And still has enough energy to attack me with kisses. Cooper doesn't know WHAT is going on, but he wants you to see his feet. What?

Brothers

I love playing with Cooper - especially when he's playing with my old baby toys! I help him reach the toys that hang down over the play mat and make sure his binky is in his mouth if he wants it. I love you Coopy!

Morning at the Park

It was a sunshiney, perfect day today - so we decided to head to the park for some fun in the sun before lunch. While Daddy and Cooper snuggled, me and Mama played our hearts out together and had the best time. We chased, climbed, jumped, laughed, rode and rolled all over the place and neither of us ever wanted to stop! Ladies, you may want to skip this post - but we just HAD to document my first-ever outside pee! What can you do when you are playing hard and there isn't a potty in sight (Bebe, we forgot the portable one!)? You water a tree! Whew - it is good to be a boy!


Snuggling with my wonderful Daddy:




Driving the fire truck with Mama - time to put out a fire!





My first rock-climbing experience - I am a natural!




Jumping on the bouncy bridge:




This tunnel is perfect little-boy size, but a bit small for Mama!



Time for a pee-break:




Playing Follow the Leader down the slide:





Here we are at the beginning of the Race Track Obstacle Course. I had to show Mama how to get through the circle at the beginning or else she never would have figured it out:



That's how you do it, Mama! Now chase me.




Can't catch me! I am really fast.




Mid-race, I decided it was a perfect time to show Mama how to slide into "home":
