Thanksgiving in Colorado

We took a road trip to Colorado with Gramma & Grampa Andreasen to see Aunt Joni, Uncle Colin and cousins Sophia and Amelia. The trip wasn't bad, I got to see lots of animals, fields of windmills and finally the mountains. The weather was beautiful and I got to play A LOT on their swingset in the backyard.

IT WAS SOOOO MUCH FUN!!

I kept climbing to the top and yelling, "All aboard!" or "Wanna come in my house?"

I had such a great time! Now I just need to convince one of my Papa's that I need one at my house!!

We had a great turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Of course there was tons of food and desserts, but that made up for good leftovers. I most enjoyed sitting at a 'kids table'. I didn't eat much of the food (not surprising), but did think Gramma's homemade rolls were pretty tasty! Apparently everyone else did too as she made more the next day!

 

Amelia helped Gramma make the rolls...I was very curious.

 

We had more family come over for the Nebraska game on Friday. I was a little out numbered by all the little girls playing, but I still played with anything that had wheels. I managed to find the Barbie stuff - a few cars, a motorcycle, and a couple of bicycles. The football game was over in time for me to take a nap while Mommy, Joni & Gramma went out and did a little shopping.

We unwrapped a few presents later that night! It was going to be Amelia's birthday soon, plus their xmas presents from Gramma & Papa. I also got a few birthday presents. I got a really cool hide & seek book (like Where's Waldo), pluse these cars, some truck coloring books, and some counting cards! I liked them all!!!

Halloween 2012

I had a super fun halloween!
I went as an orca/whale/Shamu - whatever you call it.
We met over at my friend Cole's house and later I played at my friend Fletcher's house.
Here's my costume:

 

Ready to go!
 
Here's a few of us that went trick-or-treating together:

A football player, Scooby, Daphne (in the Mystery Machine), Elvis and me!

 
We had a good time! The first house I went up to, I had to push the doorbell about 5 times ('cause that's what I do at home to drive Sadie nuts). When they opened the door, I tried to put candy from my bag and put it in their bucket. Then I saw a dog in the house come down the stairs and I was over the candy & just wanted to see the dog, so I just started walking right in. Luckily Dad was with me and told me what to do (or not do)! Ha! After a few houses I finally got the hang of it... I was whispering "Trick or Treat" and usually always remembered to say "Thank You" afterwards. After a while of walking around the neighborhood, I started slowing down. Daddy asked, "Beck, are you getting tired?" and I nodded my head. He then said, "Are you ready to go back home?" I looked up at him and said, "No Dad!" We walked a bit more...and found a haunted garage that Daddy tried to bring me in, but I was scared and later went to play at Fletcher's house for a little while. Boy, was I tired when I got home. I went to bed and fell right asleep without even a bite of candy! Whew!

 

Here's a few more pictures:

 

 

I LOVED playing with the glow sticks!

That's all!!



October 2012

I've had a great October! Mommy checked some books out from the library - all had to do with fall, leaves, apple picking & pumpkin patches. I loved learning about them! Even as we drove around, I would point out the color of the leaves on the trees. I also like to tell you the color of the stoplights - "Green means go...Red means stop" as I often say.

I'm still working on the potty thing, but I'm having less wet diapers. I've also had this nasty nighttime cough that I can't seem to get rid of. It doesn't bother me when I'm playing during the day though. I also got to go with Mommy & Daddy to the baby doctor this month. We found out I'm going to have a sister! I've been saying sister all along. Well, except for when the technician asked me...I said boy. Oops! I'm so excited! 

Gramma & Papa (from the farm) came to visit me this month. I had a great time playing with them! We went to Deanna Rose Farm to feed the animals and I took them to my favorite place to eat - Fritz' Railroad Restaurant! I also got some one-on-one time with them when Mommy & Daddy went out on Saturday night.

Here's a few pics from our fun day!

Then Aunt Molly came for almost a week to watch me during Daddy's conferences. This started as a tradition 2 years ago and I have a blast every time! She took me to Penguin Park to play, we went for walks and played with my choo choos. Oh, and my favorite was that she brought me all these cool animals to play with - cows, pigs, sheep, goats, duck, chickens, and lots more!!! I had soooo much fun with them!!!

Penguin Park

I kept on yelling to the other kids, "Come on! All aboard!" 

We stopped for a snack break 

Then ran around some more! 

 

We had some great weather to take some walks

(or a nap in my case)

Here are the animals she brought me.

I LOVE PLAYING WITH THEM!!

We went to a pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins to carve.

We also got Mommy this pretty mum. 

 

I lined up the wagons just like I do with my cars at home. 

 

We made some crafts!

And played in the leaves! 

 

 

 

We finally got a chance to carve our pumpkins

before Aunt Molly had to head back home!

 

 

Here they all are!!

Happy Halloween!!!
