Halloween 2011

The week before Halloween we went to "My Gym" (where Tyler takes classes every week) for a special Halloween Day. The kids all wore their costumes and they had games, songs, free play and other activities. It was on a Saturday so Daddy got to go, too! Tyler had a great time- he loved the parachute and bubbles.

Daddy carved a Mickey and Pluto pumpkin for Tyler this year. He loved them and they turned out great!!

This year my whole family came out to visit over Halloween.... Nana, Papa, Auntie Krissy, Uncle Tim and Kenzie! It was so fun to have them here. We went to a friend's house to go trick-or-treating and the kids had so much fun! Tyler loved getting candy- it was a little cold but we weren't out too long. At least it wasn't raining! The day before we tried to go to an event in downtown Naperville but only lasted about 15 minutes since it was an outside event and pouring rain. They were closing most of the bounce houses and other activities. :( Maybe next year? It was great to have everyone here this year!

The Pumpkin Patch 2011

Daddy's idea of feeding me dinner...

Our little Monkey....

Tyler is definitely a climber! Scares me to death... I had just changed his diaper and walked across the hall to wash my hands and came back to this! I was gone for the like 30 seconds and he managed his way up there... and he was SO proud of himself! I had to laugh!

I love Bella!

Tyler loves the dogs! We still aren't sure what they think of him! He wants to constantly follow them around and pet them. He just laughs and laughs when they go to kiss him.

A few random pictures...

Tyler loves to play with the dog biscuits and loves to give the dogs treats! We just have to keep an eye on him because he's been known to put a few in his mouth!

Peek-a-boo! His new favorite game is emptying out a cabinet and then climbing inside. He loves to climb inside anything he can- baskets, tubs, his old car seat that is in the basement, etc...

Tyler loves this bucket and loves to walk around with it on his head- Jeff likes to joke that he has my brain. Haha! It's amazing how well he will walk around and not run into anything! Definitely makes us laugh though!

He loves playing in Daddy's closet!

Labor Day weekend with my cousins...

Jason, Laura, Jake, Meg, Kyle and Max came to visit us over Labor Day weekend. It was so much fun to have them here! Grandma and Grandpa also came that weekend. We went to downtown Chicago one of the days and went shopping and to Navy Pier. We also went to the Labor Day Fair in downtown Naperville but didn't last very long because it was SO hot!! It was great just to see all the kids together and get to just "hang out". Wish we could do it more often!! We miss seeing them!
