Ready for the snow

Well, it finally happened. My parents have been warning me about this white stuff coming. I didn't seemed to bother by it till mom got out this funny outfit for me to wear. 

Check me out, I am ready for the MN winter weather. I'm pretty excited!! 

Bring on the snow!  

Playing with my daddy

 This morning my mommy and daddy gave me a new toy to play with that I got from some very special people that were mentors to my mommy growing up. I was so excited to play with my daddy! 

Deep in thought trying to figure out how it all works (check out his tongue)

Hey Dad, when can I get my own cell phone

Thanks Kim and Kathy for such a fun toy!! I know he will get LOTS of use out of it!!! 

jumpin for wednesday!

hope you all are having a good week.

Just Hanging Out

I like to hang out and be able to see my parents pretty much all the time. They are getting very creative trying to keep my attention while still being able to get things done. One of my favorite places to play while mom makes dinner is my highchair. 

This bumbo seat my parents keep trying to get me to like... 

This might not be that bad.... 

15 seconds later.....

OK.... MOM I AM DONE!!! 

Our little Monkey

Hard to believe that we have Colton sometimes. He is getting such a personality and is so fun! We dressed him up as a monkey and he sure didn't mind. He was very happy to help pass out candy and watch the kids and lights this year. We never got around to carving our pumpkins, we will have to do that with him next year! 

This year Colton stayed in with us to pass out candy, but we did go trick or treating to grandpa and grandma's house.  

With a face like that, what's not to love! 

Play Hard

I put Colton down to play with his toys while I was putting his clothes away. He was playing and then it got pretty quite. I looked over and saw this....

The GREATS visit

This past weekend Dan's uncle Tim and Aunt Bev (AKA: THE GREATS)  came along with their son Billy and his wife Kara. We had not seen Billy or Kara since their wedding because we had to cancel our weekend trip to the Dells because some little guy came!! 

We had a great time and always look forward to spending time with them. Friday we headed to Stillwater to take in the shops and go out for dinner. Saturday we went shopping and then Colton went to our friends house to hang out while the adults went to a Wild hockey game. I (Kate) was super excited about this as I LOVE hockey. We had a great time and ended the night by playing dominos into the early morning.

We had such a nice time and can't wait for Thanksgiving!! Thanks for making the drive and spending time with us!!
