Halloween festivities

We went to a Halloween Carnival last weekend.  Here's a picture of the whole fam.

Caden and his friend Luna were quite fascinated by this spider game.

And here's the monkey playing peak a boo.

One of our friends had a halloween party last week.  Here's the whole group.

On Friday, Caden and I went with a few friends to a nursing home.  There were so many people piled into one room; Caden was a little unsure of the whole thing.  He had this wide-eyed "what's going on" look on his face most of the time.

When we finished seeing the residents, we tried to get a picture of Caden with a few of his friends.  But he had definitely had enough...no more pictures in this silly costume!



Owen's Farm

We've been having so much fun enjoying the Fall festivities & cooler weather.  Friday before last, Caden and I went to a local "farm" with a few friends. 

First we fed the goats.  Here's Caden contemplating whether he wants to get close enough to feed them...he didn't; mommy had to feed them.

Then Caden went on his first hayride.  Here he is with his friend Caroline.  He didn't want to sit still; all he wanted to do was climb up and down off the hay seats.

Caden and  his friend Tessa were quite fascinated by the longhorns munching on pumpkins.

Here are Mommy and Caden.

His favorite part of the visit was probably seeing this old fire "truck" and a few other horse drawn carriages.

He got to pick out a pumpkin to take home.  It was a big decision...maybe this one?

And then he found one more his size.



Texas vs OU and the State Fair

Caden and I went to Caden's first TX-OU party while Daddy was at the game.  Here's a picture of all the kiddo's lined up in their Texas attire.

Last week Caden and I went to the fair with a few friends.  Here are the kiddo's all lined up.

Despite the look on his face, Caden enjoyed the petting zoo and seeing all the show animals at the Fair.

Caden got his first taste of fair food.  He had a bite of the cornbreading from my corny dog.  Being the carb lover that he is, he loved it.  But here's a picture of Mommy's favorite...Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!  Mmm, not much tastes better to a pregnant girl than horribly fattening fried fair food :).

I got a new sewing-embroidery machine last week.  Here's a picture of my first project.  I can't wait to start embroidering cute things for Caden's little sister!



Hungry fire truck?

I was trying to get Caden to eat a few more bites of his dinner the other night, when I picked up one of his animals and started saying "yum yum"...pretending that the animal was eating his food.  He thought it was funny and started making his trucks and cars eat.  I, of course, explained that animals eat food, but trucks and cars do not.  But we thought it was pretty funny.  As usual, he's a little camera shy, but he sort of does it with his fire truck in this video.

Palm Springs

We had so much fun in California last week with Mimi, Tia, Kevin, Kelly, and Wyatt.  Caden LOVED playing with his cousin.  Caden did really well on the flight, but never adjusted to the time change...which meant REALLY early mornings for mommy and daddy :(.

We went to the zoo one day.  Caden and Wyatt both enjoyed watching this train.

Caden enjoyed watching the giraffes.

We all got to feed them, too.

I put the apple in Caden's hand to see if he would feed the giraffe, but as soon as the giraffe started sticking his tongue out, Caden got a little scared and pulled his arm back and dropped the apple.

Caden and Wyatt riding the "oink oinks"...aka hog statues.

Caden had fun running through these hut like tunnels.

Wyatt enjoyed brushing the goats. 

Caden wasn't quite sure about it. 

We swam several afternoons.  The boys had fun playing in the baby pool.
