Happy Birthday Maryn!

The weekend before Thanksgiving, our good friend, Maryn, turned the BIG 3!  What does any 3 year-old want?  A party at Chuck E. Cheese, so that's where we headed.

It wouldn't be a party without juice!  This was Moses's first time having juice and needless to say, he gulped it down.

Well he gulped down what didn't end up on his shirt.

After the juice, Moses was ready to get on some rides.  First stop was the carousel. 

Then it was onto driving Chuck E. Cheese.

He tried chauffeuring around Barney.

But Moses didn't like the big purple dinosaur!

So he decided that off-roading would be better.

It ended with a motorcycle chase by Officer Moses.

Happy Birthday Maryn!  It was another fun night at Chuck E. Cheese!

Big Boy Shenanigans!

Our little man just turned 15 months and here are some of his big boy shenanigans.

"HA!HA!  Can you see me?"

"Check out my new ride!  I'm getting ready for sledding in Tahoe."

"Do I look like a scientist?"

"I'm SUPERMAN!"

YUM...YUM...YUM!!!

Thanks to Moses's buddy, Ryden, we have found the greatest popsicles, the Mighty Minis.  We let Moses enjoy one the other night and boy did he enjoy it!

"SUGAR!!!!!"

"I can do this myself!"

"Thank you, Mommy!"

Now it was Daddy's turn to share in the fun.

"Can I have some, Moses?"

"No, Daddy, it's mine!"

"Oh, okay.  I'll share."

"Hey, Daddy!  That bite was way too BIG!"

"Thank you!"

 

Creepy Crawly Festival

This past weekend, we headed out to the Wild Animal Park.  The Creepy Crawly Festival was going on, so we all got to BUG OUT!

Our first stop was the gift store to see if there was anything that Moses needed to have.  While we were shopping, we found this scary lion! 

After our encounter with the lion, we headed to the petting zoo.

"Here I come deer!"

"I promise I'll be GENTLE!"

"See....GENTLE!"

"HEY!  Don't go!  I thought I was GENTLE!"

Since Moses enjoyed petting the deer so much, we decided to move onto something else he could pet but not run away from him.

"Really?!  This is what you want me to pet?"

"It's a HUGE cockroach!"

"Okay, I'll try petting this enormous cockroach."

"NO THANKS!!  I change my mind."

Since the cockroach was too much, we tried something smaller...ladybugs.  Moses got to set one free.  The ladybug is the small black dot on Moses's hand. 

After all the shopping, petting and setting animals free, Moses was ready for a snack.

"Mum Mums weren't enough!  I need some more!"

"Yummy yum!  This is DELICIOUS!"

"What is it that I'm eating you ask?"

"MEALWORMS and GRASSHOPPERS, of course.  It's a BUG Festival!"

Thanks Wild Animal Park!  It was a BUGGY good time!



Trick or Treat!

On Halloween, we went trick-or-treating with some neighbors and friends.  Lacking in our paparazzi skills, we didn't get any really good trick-or-treating pictures.  

"AARRGGHH!  Trick-or-Treat!"

"Next stop, PLEASE!  We need more candy!"

How many kids can fit in one wagon?

However, we got some good pictures of Moses playing with his new friend, Samantha, and all of her fun toys.

Reading with the girls.

Just chillin' on the bean bag.  Halloween is over....til next year! 





Goodbye Pumpkin Patch!

It was Halloween and the last day for the Pumpkin Patch.  Since we still had tickets, we decided to go for one last time.  This time, Daddy went down the big slide with Moses.

"YIPPEE!  We made it to the top!"

"WOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

"That was AWESOME!"

"HEY!  Get off me, Daddy!"

All the rides and games were half off, so we were able to do everything and still have tickets left over.  So we decided to play some games to get rid of them. 

The Kappy boys decided to test their strength at the sledgehammer game. 

"HA!HA!  I told you I was STRONG!"

Who do you think really wanted this prize?
