Halloween

Nate had a lot of fun tonight. He loved looking at all the kids at the door. He was taking the candy out of his bag before we would leave a house. Here are our pictures of the night...

Our Business Man...

I had to share this picture...This is one of my favorite outfits Nate has...He really looks like a little man....

Halloween Party

The Irish Cultural Center had a Halloween party today - and what fun we had. There were games and snacks and JUMPIES!!!!!

Nate went as a Star Wars Storm Trooper (thanks Uncle Jeff) and he loved running around and playing with all the other kids...Here he is with Aidan McVeigh dressed as "Woody"

After the party upstairs, we went downstairs with Steve Goulding and Nancy Callahan and met Grandma and Papa Porter for dinner. We had a great time. The Baglins and the Sheridans were there for dinner as well and Nate had so much fun playing with the kids...especially Maura!!

Festival

This weekend we went to the St. Cecilia's festival. They had lots of great slides and bouncies if you were a much older boy!!! But we found a mini bouncy for mini people! Nate loved it. When we would take him out so others could have a chance, he would cry and cry. He waited fairly patiently for another turn. But we found that after the second time of playing in the bouncy, he was ready to come out!!!

Have you seen this guy!! :)

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went up to the Russian River. We wanted to go back to the Pumpkin Patch we went to last year. http://www.muelrathspumpkins.com/index.html in Sebastopol. They have a really neat set up and it's right there on their farm. We also picked up some acorn and butternut squash. Nate had so much fun running around. He wasn't too keen on the Hay or the corn maze. We didn't dare take him into the Hay tunnel since Jim tried that last year and got freaked out!!! We missed the Hay ride this year but next year we plan on doing that! Here are some pictures!

Las Vegas

We spent 3 days in Las Vegas in September. Nate had a rough time on the airplane going down. Jim and I were not sitting next to each other and the seats never seemed so tight! Fortunately the flight was only a little over an hour. We got to our hotel and learned we couldn't check in until 11:00. He had fallen asleep in his stroller. Once we got to our room, he was in heaven. So much fun. There were 2 bathrooms and he was running back and forth. He also loved to look out the window at all the cars! While there he went to Build-a-bear, Circus Circus and FAO Schwartz!

Playing with daddy in the hotel room

On our second day there we headed over to Circus Circus. He played on the cars and ran around. He also got some new buddies...

He loved looking out the window and checking out all the cars 23 floors below!

On our last day, Nate and I went to FAO Schwartz in Ceasars Palace. He said "Hi" to all the toys. He didn't want to leave!

He enjoyed watching the Gondola ride at the Venetian while we waited for Jim to finish his meeting...
