October Highlights

Hello!!! We are back. Wow, this fall has flown by. Scott and I were just talking about how we think this fall has been busier than the summer was for use. So after a few harassment's from my sister-in-law, her sister and my mother-in-law I am really going to try and keep up with my postings. So here are a few updates from October.

On October 3rd we took Colin to the St. Michael Fire Department open house. We had so much fun. We saw the Monsrud's there (our daycare family) so Colin and Cooper were able to run around and play on the fire trucks together. Check out these two cuties, they might be trouble in a few years!!

I'm not sure who had more fun spraying water out of the hose, Colin or Daddy.

On October 12th we took Colin to the Apple Orchard and to pick out a pumpkin. We went to Deer Lake Orchard in Buffalo and had a great time. Colin was really excited that we got to go on a hay ride pulled by a John Deere Tractor.

They had a huge pile of hay bails that Colin climbed all over.

Then, the biggest news is that on October 15th Colin woke up and declared that he was a big boy now and does not wear diapers. So we went with it and put him into pull ups and he is now in big boy underwear!! We are so proud of him and are amazed that the training process has been much easier than we could have ever imagined. Not that we haven't had any accidents, but it's been much quicker and smoother than we thought it would have.

We headed up north for the weekend October 18-20. The weather was beautiful and the colors were amazing on the trees. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

We headed into Camp for a while which was a lot of fun. Colin asked if he could just stay there. He wasn't real happy to leave, but feel asleep on the 4 wheeler on the way out. It was a great day!!

This was also Buster's first trip into camp. Can you believe how big he has gotten!!

Scott's working on developing Buster's hunting skills. He seems to be doing really well.

We were also able to spend a little time with Jason, Melissa and Brian. Brian keeps getting cuter each time we see him.

This past week Jason, Melissa and Brian were down for a few days and we were able to spend more time with them. We had the boys both put on there Halloween costumes. Colin loves telling us that baby cousin is going to be a pea in a pod for Halloween.

Yesterday we had our ECFE Halloween party. Colin's friend Jackson was also there. We had a great time playing game and doing crafts. Here is the monkey and Diego.

More pictures to come of Diego after Friday night Trick-or-Treating. Happy Halloween everyone!!
