Happy Halloween!

I had peas for lunch today and when mama wasn't looking, decided to put one in my ear! After lunch, mama had a Dr appointment and daddy and I went with her. We got to see a little baby on a TV screen. Mama said it was the baby inside her tummy, it was my baby brother or baby sister. I had fun entertaining the Dr and nurses in the office. I dressed up as Batman to go there. The Dr let me play with her tape measure and let me go with her to get on her computer. After the appointment we went straight home for a nap (mama included). When we got up, we met daddy in town for dinner and then headed to the harvest festival at our church. We met Maren and her family there. We played a game, jumped in a bounce house, and pet some animals in the petting zoo. It was lots of fun. I was cat in the hat, but didn't like wearing the hat very much ;-)

Having fun with cousins!

Yesterday daddy had to work, and we headed to grandma's house after my morning nap. All of my cousins were there except Kenzi because she was still at school. I had fun riding on Shea's back and knocking over her blocks when she would stack them for me. After our naps, and school, we all played outside blowing bubbles and jumping in the leaves. Everybody came over for dinner and it was a little crazy, but we all had lots of fun! Mama and I headed home when it was my bedtime. I was so excited to see daddy this morning when he got home from work. We played while mama went for a walk with her friend Tami.

Lots and lots of leaves!

I helped mama do some baking last week. I like to pour things into the mixer after mama measured them. I also helped chop up the chocolate chips for the pumpkin muffins! I spent Friday with grandma, Aunt Linda and the rest of my cousins. Grandma's house was pretty crazy,  but we had fun
:-) mama's friend Memoriee came down to take our family pictures at the park, it was beautiful and sunny. Memoriee's husband Bruce kept me looking at the camera by holding things up and making me laugh. Aunt Linda and grandma came down on Sunday. I decided to show off for them and be very silly. Once, mama put me in a time out and I went to the corner to stand. I heard a camera turn on so I turned around to look at Aunt Linda, but mama said to look in the corner. When I turned back into the corner I kept saying "cheese",  because I knew she was taking my picture. Aunt Linda stayed with us for a couple days. Mama had to work on Monday and daddy had lots to do after work, so I spent the day with Aunt Linda. We had a fun day, she pulled me in the wagon, read books and played outside. When mama got home, she raked some leaves so I could play in them. When we were done, they loaded them all into a trash can so daddy could mow. I rode in the leaves for fun!

Exciting news!

Lately mama has not been feeling very good and then I noticed her belly is getting bigger too. She told me there is a baby in her tummy, but I don't see one when I lift her shirt up. She tells me I will have a baby brother or sister at the end of may, but I have no idea what that means.
Last weekend mama and I went to a birthday party at a train park. I had fun riding on the train with mama. I also liked climbing on a wooden train that was there to play on. I took a couple of swings at the pinata, but didn't hit it hard enough to break it. Monday mama and miss Tami went for a walk, Maren and I ate snacks in our strollers. After nap, mama took me on a four-Wheeler ride to get the mail. Daddy worked outside and I played. Tuesday I wasn't a very good boy and got several time-outs. Today we went for another walk. Daddy worked outside all day cleaning up the property and cutting stumpa. After mama and I napped we walked down to the creek where I could try out my new rain boots. I fell in again, but it was hot today and I didn't mind. While mama went to the gym, daddy and I ran errands in town. Daddy and I wrestled a bunch before bath, and it was so fun. Whenever he would leave the room I would holler "Daddy, are you".

Little cowboy

At first I was afraid of the rocking horse, but now it is my favorite! I love pushing the ear to make it Winnie and gallop. We mostly just played around the house this week, mama tried to take me to a kinder gym class but it started right at nap time. So I cried and mama took me home. After nap, I went outside with daddy and rode my bike. Wednesday I had my first dentist appointment. I liked the dentist, I even let him look at my teeth. There was a nice lady there that polished my teeth and put fluoride on them. My favorite was when she put this wand in my mouth that sprayed water. On Thursday papa came to visit, I was running around the house like a crazy boy to show off for him. We wrestled on the floor and played hide and seek! Yesterday we went grocery shopping and then went to the gym to have appetizers with mama's friends. I had fun swinging on the rings at the gym.

Working boy!

On Thursday I spent the morning with daddy, while mama went to town. In the afternoon, mama and I went to Roseburg to miss Joanie's house to spend the night. Grandma is in pa visiting family so I spent Friday with Joanie while mama was at work. We had a lot of fun, I liked playing with her exercise ball the best. I liked jumping onto it and rolling off. We went for a walk and played outside after it warmed up. Mama came to get me after my afternoon nap. We went to the duck pond to meet papa before heading home. Saturday was a lazy day, it was cold and rainy, so we all relaxed and mama made soup for dinner. I played in the living room trying to be a stunt man, it was silly. Today we got up and went to church, I cried when mama and daddy left me at Bible school, but the ladies there fed me crackers and I was better. After church we headed home for lunch and nap. It was nice and sunny out, so when I got up, daddy had built a big bonfire behind the house. I had fun picking up sticks and throwing them in the fire. I also liked riding in the wheelbarrow on the way to full it up with limbs and sticks! Mama's friend Tami and Maren came over for dinner. I showed Maren how I ride my new horse I got from cousin Grace.

Visit to Lala and Bampa's house

Daddy, Alli and I made a trip up to The Dalles to visit Lala and Bampa. I slept most of the way there and so did Alli. Lala and Aunt Doreen took me to kinder gym on Friday morning and I had so much fun running back and forth on the trampoline. I ran and played with all of the other kids there too. After nap, Lala and I visited great grandpa, I think he was happy to see me. Daddy went hunting out at Aunt Leann and Uncle Tyler's, but didn't get anything on Friday. We went up there for dinner and I had fun playing with Grace and all of her fun toys. On Saturday Lala took me to the park and we played with Alli in the yard. Mama was there when I woke up from my afternoon nap, I think she missed me a lot. On Sunday morning I was in my first race, it was a super hero race and I was batman! It was a sunny but cool morning, perfect for running. I ran the whole 300 yards, mama had to bribe me with some cheerios at the end, but it was fun. After my race, Lala and mama ran a 5k and pushed me in the stroller. I needed a snack every little bit, because I thought they might want a break from running. After nap, we went to the park and played and took great grandpa some soup. Daddy got a big buck today, but I was sleeping by the time he came home. Cousin Grace came over on Monday morning and we played inside until it got warm outside then rode bikes outside. After nap, daddy and mama loaded up and we headed to papa and grandma's house so they could cut and package the deer meat on Tuesday. Tuesday morning, I played with my cousins Shea, Wyatt and Kenzi until Kenzi went to school, then we played out in the garage while daddy, grandma and mama cut up meat. It was grandma's birthday, but I think us kids made it a little rough on her. When the meat was all packaged, and daddy went to the store, we headed home. I needed to catch up on my sleep, so I slept until 9 this morning, and still took two naps! After lunch, we walked to get the mail and also made a trail down to the creek that is now running. Mama sat me on a rock near the creek so I could touch the water and when she was trying to take my picture I fell all of the way in. We then headed back up to the house to play in the sun to warm up!

My first ear infection :-(

Monday daddy was sick and mama had to work, so I went to grandma and papa's. I started to get cranky after my morning nap and grandma took my temp and said I had a fever. I took some medicine and another nap and then mama came to check on me. I snuggled with her for a while before dinner, then mama decided to take me home instead of staying at grandma's. When we got home mama took my temp and it was 104°. Mama and I didn't get much sleep that night, and she took me to the Dr in the morning. Dr said I had an ear infection in my right ear. We got some antibiotics and headed home to catch up on some sleep. We all took it easy on Tuesday, and daddy went back to work on Wednesday. I woke up feeling better and ate a good breakfast but got cranky so we didn't go to story time at the library. We walked to get the mail after nap, and Alli and I ran all of the way back to the house. I only fell once. This morning I woke up yelling for daddy. He came home from work shortly after I got up, and we played until nap time. When I woke up we went for a hike behind the house. I had fun running down the hill for daddy to catch me. I was covered in mud by the time we got home because I fell a lot. After dinner, mama and daddy loaded a bunch of stuff in the truck and daddy, Alli, and I hit the road to the Dalles to visit bampa and lala. Mama was very sad when we left, so I gave her lots of kisses. She has to work tomorrow and is going to a wedding on Saturday so we will see her when she gets to The Dalles on Saturday.
