Clowning Around ~ Day 324

Zoo Day! ~ Day 323

Our first of the year!  Papa was in for a visit and he just loves a trip to the zoo, as do the kids.  I'll let the pics speak for themselves.  Enjoy!

Day 281

All decked out in his OSU gear!

 And sporting a Toledo Walleye's hat from Papa, Uncle Derek & Aunt Tiffany!

A Second Chance ~ Day 239

To see Santa Claus!

 Enjoying the decorations while in line.

 This wasn't a planned visit.  I made a last minute trip home to visit my father for the weekend and when we showed up at the mall there was Santa Claus.  There was barely a line so we decided to take advantage.  I totally wish Dell was dressed a bit nicer, but over all I am very happy with the picture!

Day 233

 

Wearing a new birthday sweater & practicing his walking with Mommaw!

 

Shopping for HIS Christmas gifts with Mommy and Papa...

Unbeknowst to him of course!

Pumpkin Patch Here We Come! ~ Day 184

This is my absolute favorite time of the year.  It is even more exciting now that I can share it with my children.  I hope to start a lot of traditions.  One tradition I started last year was a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Dell was in my belly last year, but this year he was happy to join in the fun!

We started off with some pictures at home.

Then some funny ones @ the farm.

  Time to check his height!

 Kensington and Neela taking off for the maze!

 Brenden got in on the action too!

 They had a huge area to play in the hay, complete with slides!  Can you spot Kensi in the background?

 Chad and his boys!

 We found a few fuzzy caterpillars.

 Dell wasn't sure what to think!

 He really loved the hayride!  He was just about to his melting point and then we got on the wagon.  What a life saver!

Time to pick our pumpkins!

 Dell thought this one sat nicely!

Apparently Brenden found a cozy one too!
