Happy Birthday Damian!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our beautiful little boy!

Creating Memories through Paint

This past weekend my mom and I took Damian and Addie to Create a Memory to do a little painting and memory making.  Due to some secrecy issues at this time I cannot show what Miss Addie was painting but Damian was all about the cow! 

So serious...for a few minutes that is!

Moooooooo

Didn't want that extra paint to go to waste.

Trick-or-Treat

A few months ago I asked Damian what he would like to be for Halloween-Cow he told me.  I continued to ask him in the weeks leading up to Halloween and the answer was always cow.  So like the good mother that I am I made him a cow costume!  I have to say he is the cutest cow that I have ever seen!!!

 After sitting him down I barely had time to snap this picture

 Moooo ready for some ready for some Trick-or-Treating!

 Headed out the door past the big spider

 I stayed home while Daddy and Grandpa took Damian Trick-or Treating and did not realize they let him crawl on the ground until I was downloading the pictures.  At least now I know how his costume got dirty.

Mooooooooooooo spooky cow!

Pumpkin Carving Time!

I have been a bit of a bad blogger as of late so I have much catching up to do!

I love Halloween so we have had lots of fun all month long and of course carving our pumpkins was one of them!  

 He was probably hoping to find candy or something exciting inside.

 Who doesn't love the gooey mess inside a pumpkin!

I know he looks miserable and like he hated the whole experience but he really did have fun!

An Apple Lovers Delight

This past weekend Damian and I went up to the Apple Tasting and Festival at the Portland Nursery with Jon and Addie.  We had a great time sampling sooo many different varieties of apples, fresh pressed apple cider and lots of other yummy apple goodies.  

 The apples just went on and on and on!

 Little pumpkin painters

I got one to look at me!

This was my first year going to the Apple Festival and already I cannot wait to go again next year!

I made a delicious pie for dessert using a new apple that I had tasted.  Sorry no picture-it disappeared fast!

Pumpkin Patch

This past week we took a trip to a local pumpkin patch.  

 Loaded up in the wagon and off to the patch we went.

 Damian is not the picky one...I am!

 This isn't the pumpkin he ended up picking...he deemed it too heavy.

 After roaming the fields for what seemed like forever we loaded up the wagon and enjoyed some yummy treats.  Kettle popped caramel corn and apple cider donuts of course!  

 My little boy is getting so big!

 He had lots of fun playing on all the different activities they had set up.

I wish I could carve pumpkins this good!

Yummy in his Tummy

Nothing beats homemade warm applesauce!
