Whats up?

This post will be full of a lot of this and that's....
and THIS is my little buddy helping with some clean up!!!
I will apologize in advance to Lukas...but I just think it is way too cute to see his little butt in big boy unders!!! He does a great job keeping Thomas dry!!

So I started with by buddy and will end with him....till then a catch up on some or the other things we do!!!
Last week as you know we went to Sarah and Jesse's work for trick or treating.....I included the cute nice shots and had to show you this one.....I thought it was pretty fun!!! Someone doesn't like Barbie!!

And REALLY likes.....Loves Ken!!

LOL!!!.....I would have love to know who did this one!!

Sunday morning and it was time to face facts.....the leaves were not going away on there own!!

Turned out to be a good day for all the work!! Sun came out and with just an entire day and 4 tanks of gas this was accomplished!!!
Unfortunately, it is now the weekend again and as you can see not all the trees have given up their leaves so I will have to do this again!!

Brace yourselves!!!! This will be a shocker!!!

I....yes you heard me right.....I baked 2 pies from scratch....well, not entirely from scratch, pie crusts do come in a package!!!
To say that Dave was in a state of shock would be an understatement!!!
I think there is one piece left!!
and I LOVE my newer kitchen for cooking.....not the cooking, just the kitchen!

See I told you........more Lukas!!!

He brought puppy and daddy's puppy with him this week and wanted to introduce them to moose!!! Too CUTE!!



Weather was cold enough for the winter coat and he found that chewing on the zipper to be very comforting!!

He found this stick and was all excited to tell me it was an L for Lukas!!!

All day long all I heard was dranpa...dranpa..."drill wiff wood!!"
Last time he was here he and gpa hung out in the garage and played with all the tools. He couldn't wait for him to come home so they could go out there again!!

He doesn't forget much....they had lots of fun....We better be careful he will be building boats before we know it!!!!
No special story here....just a special boy!!!
He loved to use the "pincher's" to pick up EVERYTHING!!!


See ya soon all!!

Halloween 2010

Hello...
So It has been a really long time since I took over g-mas blog, and what better time than to tell you about my Halloween!!!
So any ideas what it is that I am going to be for trick or treating??? Come on put your thinking caps on?? Just a second I will put on my costume for you!!!!

There we go..........got it now??!!??
I am a Lemur!!
As you know I loved the lemurs at the zoo this summer so mommy and daddy looked and they found this cute outfit for me!!

This was going to be one really busy weekend!! Started out on Friday when I got to go to g-mas and g-pa house. G-ma helped me put on my costume and we headed over to Steelcase for lunch with g-pa!!

I love playing in the big water pond they have there....g-pa made sure I didn't get my outfit too wet!! I really want to ride on the big pendulum they have there!!!

See, I was trying to show some other boy in a fish suit the cool water....and I had to show puppy too. He was really interested!!

Silly g-pa put me in this chair and he kept spinning me round and round!! He had better be careful next time he does this because he waited till after lunch.....I maintained though!


I really didn't want to leave so g-pa had to carry me out....I was just having way too much fun walking around, riding in the elevators and meeting some of his co-workers.

After a brief stop at the house for a little nap to rejuvenate myself it was off to aunt Yaya and daddy's work, for more fun!

It took me a little longer to head in because there were these really cool stones all along the way! For some reason they were stuck in the ground and I couldn't get them to come up!!

Aunt Yaya met us at the door and I was sooooooooooo glad to see her. She is so much fun!!


She took me all around her department and introduced me to all kinds of really nice people, but I have to say I was most impressed with this man!!
Come on now......you would be impressed too if you had seen all these pez toys!! I really wanted his Thomas the train one but, he only gave me the candy that goes in it......hmmmmm and I put on my best cute face and asked nicely...."have it" and still he put it back on the display!!!
I'm thinking someone may get me one for Christmas!!! hehe

Then it was off to Daddy's office. I was so excited to see him I went running to him!

And, when he lifted me up I was able to see how his whole building had prepared for all the trick or treaters!!!!

I KNOW....... Impressive isn't it.
G-ma said it was awesome how everyone put this together for us, and I must agree!!


It brought a smile to my face!!

In one of the cubicles there was this witch.....I am sure she was a very nice lady, I just mean she was dressed as a witch,:).....anyways she had candy and maybe that was interesting to the other kids, but!! I spotted something way cooler than candy......yup, she had a broom!!! And like that guy across the street she wouldn't let me take it home either. She said something about needing it to fly home???

Come On, what does she think I am?????????

Gullible!?

Fine, I will get a much better ride!!! Ha ha my mommy was more than happy to give me a lift!!

And before we headed back to g-ma and g-pas house we posed for a family portrait. See how hard my daddy works....even while we were taking pics he was on the phone.

I may have been running a little and I may have tripped and got a little rug burn on my nose!!! But, in order to make me smile someone may have been willing to put a lemur hat on !

And , if you keep that person distracted she may have forgotten it was on and got almost all the way to her car before she remembered it!!
Oh, dranma!!!

I may have chewed on a few of the smarties...and maybe a few other things too. What you don't try things right away....mommy said you have to take the wrappers off first, who knew!?!?

I had a really good time ....we went to chinese for dinner and then home for the night. On Saturday aunt Yaya came down to hang out and after mommy got out of work we headed over to the nature center for another outing! I got to wear my cool costume again. I also made sure to take puppy along so he could see all the cool stuff.

Oh, and of course tags came along too. I do have to say it was a little cool out and this thing is really cozy!

We had a lot of fun, I got to see owls, and there were a lot of people dressed up in costumes in the woods telling stories. But, one of the BEST things they had .......donuts!!!

I went with the 2 fisted approach on these...they were YUMMY!!

All in all I think I like this Halloween thing. I really didn't appreciate it last year..I can hardly wait till next year. I did have one more night to wear this outfit around my neighborhood on the actual night!!
So I will leave you with one last picture of me playing dress up at my house!!
My mommy took the lenses out of a old pair of glasses and I like to play with them!!

I know ADORABLE aren't I??!!! :) :)
Hey, what are you doing on my computer buddy!!??...... Ok, never mind I read your post and you did a great job!! Thanks for filling everyone in on the latest goings on!!
To end this I just have to say he was beyond cute as a lemur and getting to share in all his adventures was my pleasure!!

Rambling......a mish mash!!!

So a mish mash of a blog.....I again have slacked so I will catch you up a little bit so that when I want to do that Halloween blog I won't feel like you missed out on anything!!!
When we were camping at the lake my mommy and sissy came to visit! My sissy Janney was coming out later but because of certain family situation :) she didn't make it and we met up for dinner instead! Here we headed out for a little hike around the lake. For those who don't know my sister Nancy....she is under some misconception that she is my parents favorite!!!!.......so she wouldn't let my mom just enjoy her walk and had to hang all over her!!

We did play on the swings and we all agreed they were bigger and way more comfortable when we were younger.......

Nanc and I sat in the lake!!

We sat at the state park and commented on the fact that we remembered it being a much larger beach area!! and that would have nothing to do with the fact we are older and maybe a different size than the last time we were here!!! :)

We had some REALLY wild weather this week. To start we had tornado warnings, rain, and then a couple of days of WIND....WIND....and more WIND!
Although I was very nervous Lukas and I ventured out to check out all the leaves that were flying around!!

He wanted to make sure that the moose saw them too!! He kept saying "leaves flying!!" He is also very concerned about the "DEAD" trees. I guess since the leaves are off they are dead and "drampa cut them down" hehe. We have had to explain they are sleeping and the leaves will come back in the summer!!

It is a bonanza of sticks to carry!! Of course we still had to have the broom and the moose. When he found pine cones and acorns he had to juggle all this around....and then finally wanted dranma to take them!!!


I sure do LOVE this face.

He is growing up way too fast. Almost potty trained, knows a lot of his letters, recognizes his name when written, knows one two shut the door, has a new girlfriend (and gets all coy and giggly when you ask),and as of yesterday is climbing out of his crib!!!
Stop right here for a bit , PLEASE!!!
Yesterday, I met up with some classmates...it has only been a few years since school!! We had a really nice group this time... hopefully we will continue to grow!
We met at the Daily Brew, a nice coffee shop in Wayland. It was really nice to see a few of the males show up this time. I know that Mike Tyler was thrilled when Mile Trubiroha( how weird when I spell check it gives me the word drawbridge as a possible correct spelling for his name :) wow!) showed up....he was afraid he was going to be hanging with the girls alone!

WARNING!!!
If you see this witch.........RUN!!!!
Thanks Lisa for all the great gifts and FUN!



There ya go....caught up for the most part. Did want to load a few more pics but was having a few blog probs....next time I promise!!
