Painting with Damian

Whenever we venture to Joann's or some other crafty store I usually let Damian pick out some sort of fun crafty project.  This last time he picked out a fun skeleton to paint.  Some spots were heavily painted and it took quite some time to dry but he did a fabulous job!  Who doesn't love a good arts and crafts project!

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

The weather has been so beautiful this past week, it was the perfect time to hit up the pumpkin patch.  Damian was able to do so many more of the activities now that he is a "big boy", his words, so he was super excited.  This preggo lady could have used a motorized scooter but I managed to waddle my way around and snap some cute pictures of our trip.  

 Both of my boys enjoyed all the slides!

 Damian showed no fear when it came to the giant slide!  He climbed up all by himself and away he went.  He would have stayed their all day if we hadn't moved him along..to another slide! 

 Good thing he loves slides!

 And animals, he lovessss animals.  I think he is a little farmer boy at heart. 

My little man is getting so big, and soon he will be a big brother!

An apple a day...so they say!

Though it didn't feel like fall, it was apple picking time again.  Once again we went to the Beilke Family Farm and had a great time.  I will be a busy bee for the next few days while I make some yummy applesauce and probably a few pies.

Fun with Abuelita (Grandma)

Sorry I have been such a bad bad blogger.  In my defense it has been a busy summer and I am making a baby :)  I have finally downloaded some of the pictures from Jorge's moms visit.  Damian had lots of fun playing with his Abuelita and learning more spanish, but also teaching her english.  

Sun and Sand

My mom recently decided that we needed a sandbox in the backyard for Damian.  I have been pushing back against the acquiring of a sandbox for quite some time, but finally gave in.  I am very glad I did as Damian absolutely loves his new sandbox.  

 He was beyond dirty by the end of the project

 "Helping" daddy load the sand in

Thank you Nani and Grandpa!  I love my sandbox!!!

Fountain Fun

This last Friday with the temperatures rising, Damian and I met our friends at the water fountain downtown for a little picnic and fun. The kiddos had lots of fun playing around.   I couldn't get the two of them to stay in one place long enough to get a picture take together though...maybe next time.

Going on a Trip

Sadly Damian does not always nap at nap time anymore.  Somedays I put him down for his nap and am pretty certain that he is asleep as it is so quiet.  The other day was one of those days.  However when I went to go check on him, I found a boy who was all packed and "dressed" for a little trip.  

 He was so proud of himself and all ready to go get on an airplane and take a little trip.  We recently took my parents to the airport so he has been talking about airplanes a lot.

I asked him to show me what was in his little suitcase...it was full of books!  He was wearing all his clothes so he could pack his books in his bag, so adorable!  He was wearing 6 pairs of shorts/pants and 4 shirts plus his hat.  I love this little man so much.
