Pumpkin Carving Time.

Starting off!

Finish product - Connor and I's on the right - Jacob and Andrea's on the left!


Well I think those pictures say it all :) Becides watching the Steelers kick butt this weekend - we spent some time pumkin carving! Andrea and Jacob joined us in the fun! We have had some nice wether lately so, we have had a few long days out doors this week. For the end of October we will take high 60 low 70's any day! Update on Connor Boy: We are still in the process of potty training we are doing well but, since he just turned two we are just having some issues with him being able to tell us in time to make it to the potty.. He understands that he has to go but, tells us that second - We really didn't expect him to catch on this well just thought working with him now by the time he is about 3 we would have it down! We are not giving up and trying to be positive with the accidents but, still working my butt off - not having to buy diapers for him anymore makes it all so worth it :)

Baby news update: I went for my 15 week check up on Monday and have actually lost a few pounds - No I am not depriving this child. i have to eat small meals more often and the doctor says its probably all going to the baby - good for mommy I know in time my belly will get much much bigger so, if I can keep it smaller now i will love it when the baby grows! Super strong heartbeat, my doctor is very happy with everything so far.. Me too - I have been feeling much better this week and hoping it stays that way! Sure would be nice to stop feeling sick all the time especially with the holidays all coming up very quickly!

Hallowwen Costume Hint: If you know me, its SUPER easy- We could not find a dinosaur or Shrek in Connor's size this year :( Since he is still a little young to know the difference I got my way and Eric said yes - next year he will want to pick his own out! So the hint is : It's mommy's favorite animal!

And one more fun note before I go: we want to wish Auntie Shel & Don a wonderful vacation in Hawaii - I know you very well (Shel anyways) and you will LOVE it just as much as Eric and I did! I can't wait till we can all go together - That would be super awesome! Safe travels and I can't wait to see those pictures!

Happy Birthday to Mommy:)

Yesterday you and Daddy both made sure my day was a special as it could be:) Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Bob & Johnathan sent you a halloween package so, along with helping me open my gifts you got to open a few of your own! They sure do spoil you - You are still having fun with things from that package! Now, let me thank all my friends and family for wishing me happy birthdays yesterday - I truly do have the best family and friends! Now, lets back up a few days - What did we do this week?? Well we wished Grandma and Grandpa Urbanski safe travels and they headed off Thursday for Florida- wanted to visit Aunt Jennifer & Family. We miss having them around but, happy they are enjoying themselves - vacations are always a good thing! Friday - you, me and Daddy took a trip to Babies r us to pick you our a halloween costume.. You will have to wait another week or so to find out what Connor is dressing up as! :) bahahahah - I know you want to know! Then on Saturday we took a trip up to Henry and Greta's new house (very very nice by the way) to celebrate Greta girl turning 1.. What a great party - good times! You had the best time and did not want to leave. After Greta's party we took a trip out to Sylvania to watch the Buckeye's Game - Disapointment I must add:( But you had a good time there as well. Sunday - the three of uf had a wonderful day at home just enjoying each other and watching our STEELERS kick some Cleveland butt! We also worked on some more potty training - you did go poop on the potty for the first time!! So, good and again yesterday - we will be there very soon - our goal is before your brother or sister makes there apperance! I think we can do it:) Last night for mommy's birthday Grandma and Grandpa took us out to dinner - so we could spend some time with them! You loved it - Just like you love everything - Your such a good boy! Well the pictures above are you enjoying your Halloween present from Aunt Jennnifer, Uncle Bob and Johnathan.. First is you wearing your monkey hat - Second - You seeing your light up ghost - I believe you were saying "wowwww" - Third you lighting up your new ghost! Fun Pictures!

Erie Orchard

Well we definatly had a productive week and weekend. I must tell you, your new favorite things when we take our daily walk is to stop by the park over at church and swing. You could stay there all day. However, we still have to get our walk in. We did get our family pictures taken at church on Thursday and I must admit you were the perfect boy. Doing everything they asked you too (and yes, to those that know us - you will get a copy). We also went back this year to the Erie Orchard. (We went last year with Unlce Bob & Johnathan) Must asmit we missed them being here but, you still enjoyed your self. Both grandma's and daddy and I went along to watch you enjoy the day. You got to go on the pony ride, did a photo shoot with the pumkins, got to pet a deer, look at the chickens, goats. We also got ourself some fresh apple cider, donuts, and apples! Sunday we missed the Steelers playing - them being on a bye just is not the same. We did watch a little football and help grandpa and uncle eddie root on their Packers. Well off to play some more!

Along with some things for mommy and daddy as well.. You got a coupon in the mail for your birthday for a free kids meal so, guess where we ate dinner.. Chick- fil - a.....yummy.. we all three love that place:)Friday night, you hung out with daddy, grandma and grandpa U, and GGG - while mommy and grandma when over to Kalamazoo to support Aunt Shel with her photography! We had alot of fun and got to visit with alot of the family. So, Saturday you went a played with grandpa so mommy and grandma could go buy groceries for dinner. We hung out for most of the day till daddy met us over there for dinner.. Then as usual we went over to grandma and grandpa's to watch football.. Our steelers didn't have the ending to the game we wanted :( but we still have lots of games to do it! We will have a better week in two weeks after there bye. Me and daddy also got to go to mommy's doctor appointment this week and listen to your baby brother or sisters heartbeat for the first time.. How exciting!
