Thanksgiving in Detroit

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Hope you enjoy the pictures. It was so great to see Luke's grandma and everyone else as well.

Trick or Treat!!

We went trick or treating with our friends: Amy, Jameson, Jett, and Kai. It was really fun and I think the kids got the hang of it. Although Ben was a little hestitant to walk up to strangers...he was more than willing to take the treat!! Happy Halloween!

Pumpkins!!

Here are some pictures of the pumpkins carved this year.

Umm...I think you're too big for that!

We had some people over for our 3rd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party and there were several babies so we brought out some of the baby toys for them. Ben saw his exersaucer and asked to "Get In" and so I put him in. He played in it for like 10 minutes and it was hilarious!!

Halloween Cookies...yummy

Our friends Amy, Jett, and Kai came over for dinner and we made and decorated Halloween cookies afterwards. It was really fun!!

Daddy's Boxers

Ben has been really interested in learning how to dress himself. He will shirt off and pull it up and ask for a different one "on". Anyways, he asked for his "shirt off" and grabbed Daddy's boxers. We showed him it wasn't a shirt, they were shorts and he wanted them on. So here is Ben with Daddy's boxers on. They're a lil big. :)

Stapleton Park

There's a new park that just opened up in the Stapleton development (old airport). We call it the million dollar park because that's what it cost to build it. Anyways, here are some pics of Ben & Jett at the park.

My lil climber...

We took Ben to a different park this weekend and found this rock climbing part for kids. Ben did it all by himself on the first try. What a brave boy!

This is how I found him...

I think Ben got in a fight with his pajamas or something because the other day he woke up and this is how I found him. It was hilarious. Of course he wanted mommy to fix it right away (that's why he looks upset), but mommy had to get a snapshoot. Too funny!

Last Day of the Summer!!

We went to the pool everyday over Labor Day weekend because the pool officially closes after Labor Day. We had lots of fun and Ben is turning out to be a great swimmer. He jumps in the pool, blows bubbles, doesn't mind being submerged for a second or two. It's great! He's my lil fish. We also went to the park everyday. What a great weekend.

My friend Savannah

My sister, Nattie's best friend came to visit from Houston. Their daughter is 4 months older than Ben but they had fun playing together. Here's some pictures from our trip to Breckenridge last weekend. We had a lot of fun!

Sunday's Best

Here are some pictures of Ben in his Sunday's best outfit. We had just got out of church and he found this garden he decided to play in. So I took it as a photo op.

I can see much better from here...

Ben is a climbing machine, so if we're not looking he loves to climb on top of the coffee table to watch "Elmo". Here's a couple of pics of him watching "Elmo" and pretending to drink wawa's from a cup.

Chillin w/ Mama!

Here's a picture Luke took of Ben and I after I just got done with my bike ride home. I've been commuting once a week on my bike to and from work. And Luke got me a new road bike so it's been great. Life is good!
