SAY CHEESE.........

Good thing I did not count on John to smile good for a Christmas card this year! He was being such a "ham" in front of the tree. I could not get a good picture to save my life. This is his new thing where he smiles so you can't see his eyes :) He was poking at the tree and moving all over so I finally sat him in his bumbo chair. Good thing we had professional photos taken for cards, however I could have came up with something clever to go with this one................

Playing with Cody and Abby

My nephew was in a play 2 weeks ago so he had called and wanted me to go. Let me tell you, it is the FUNNIEST play I have ever seen. I laughed and laughed :) The weather was so nice out on Saturday so we decided to play outside for awhile. Cod has a 4 wheeler and Abby a 3 wheeler, they got them out and took John for a spin. He did not have to much reaction about the whole deal, just loved being outside. He was in a good mood all weekend, he loves going to see Aunt Mo and his cousins.

First Trick or Treat!

What a good first Halloween John had! Melissa, Emma, John and I started Friday night with trick-or-treating downtown Sheldon. Afterwards, the guys came home and we had pizza with the kids. John and Emma watched The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and played the night away. On Saturday night we took John to some close friends and family. Somehow he managed to get 2 pumpkins full of candy! Now what does a 10 month old do with that? Most of it is still sitting on our counter. We have been nibbeling a little here and there!

SPOOKY SPIDER

Well, here we are John's first Halloween! I wanted to try on his costume to make sure it fit. It was perfect :) We went outside (BEFORE all the snow came!) to take some pictures. I am so lucky I got the one I did. He was more interested in the leaves, cars going by and his pumpkin. We were outside for about 45 minutes. We will go trick or treating uptown with Emma and Melissa then to see a host of family and friends. We will see how long John will last.

HMHC Billboard

HERE HE IS! Many of you have asked that I post a photo of the billboard that John is on for the hospital. Here it is :) It is off of Hwy. 18 when you turn to get on 75. Fortunately, I get to see it everyday on my way to work :) I get a HUGE smile whenever I look at it. I cannot think of a better way to start my work day. My friend Nancy works in marketing, she is the one who 'brewed" this up.

It's FALL!

A couple Saturday's Amanda and I took the kids to Pumpkin land and had a great time. The weather was super nice, I was actually sweating! The BOYS had a blast, Dawson was hissing at the animals to get their attention, I do not think Amanda and I could of laughed anymore. He is a HOOT. John just sat in his stroller and enjoyed "site seeing". As long as he is outdoors he is bound to have a good time.

Here kitty kitty

John's uncle Nick's cat had some kitties about 3 weeks ago. I will be the first to tell you, I HATE CATS! But, they are so stinkin cute :) If only they stayed that little and cute.......John was not sure what to think of them. Dad helped him looked them over. Also, uncle Nick had a derby on Saturday so John is wearing another good luck derby shirt!
