Just one more...

Happy Halloween!

 Our very serious cow at Aspen Grove's Trick or Treat Street.

 Loving the fire engine!

 Our little cow fireman :)

 Here he is with our amazing pumpkins!

Unfortunately we can't ever get him to sit still for a good picture :)

One year later

I'm slightly embarrassed that this still fits (I blame myself and my short stature)...but he still is a darn cute monkey!

My final race

I know I said the same thing in September after a 5 mile race I did...but this time I really mean it...this was my last race until baby #2 arrives. I don't want to be this woman in fact, that sounds fairly terrible. But at 23 weeks, 6 miles was doable. So this past Sunday I ran the Littleton Stride 10K, a race to benefit Littleton Public Schools. I felt great and was able to run a lot more than I anticipated. My pace was very slow and I had to walk up the hills, but otherwise it was a great day to be out running and an especially great end to the 'race' season. 

Here were some of my fellow runners, The Leclaires, The Smith-Krause Clan, and Abby and Ethan (two new teachers in the LA dept. at Arapahoe) (not pictured: Jeff Krause-thank you for taking on the sherpa/cheering duties...Jon-thank you for caring for our child and playing video games so I could run without the stroller)

Our Big Helper

Adam has found a new way to Guinness' heart...

Thank you Holmans for the idea! 

He is always so pleased with himself afterwards :)

Big Boy Room

Of course it wasn't all fun and games with Grandma and Grandpa, my mom was also hard at work putting Adam's new room together. She is the master painter in our family so she offered to help paint Adam's new room! We were going with a transportation theme thanks to Jon's sister, Sarah, making us the coolest paintings for his wall.

So while Adam napped, my mom got busy and painted his new room (was formally the office/guest bedroom). I think it turned out amazing! I am so excited for Adam to start using it, but for now it will just look cool, because Jon and I are not ready for him to be unconfined while sleeping :) Here are some pics of the finished product!

 So excited to jump on his new bed!

Pumpkin Patch!

We just had an incredible week long vacation with Grandma and Grandpa. Adam was spoiled of course and got to stay home all week. He went to The Children's Museum, the park, Starbucks/Safeway, and had endless entertainment. He of course is going through withdrawal, now that they are gone and walks around with his hands up saying, "Papa?"  Here are the pictures we took at the pumpkin patch. Of course Adam was in heaven, being able to wander around, play in the dirt and look at animals.

Adam is just learning to say 'cheese' into the camera...hence the goofy expression :)

 A pumpkin just his size...well a little too big, he promptly dropped it...

 This one was much better.

 Kristin and Baby Sam came along for the fun as well...he was not so sure about all these pumpkins, but his jammies fit right it!

 There's a smile! (This was Kristin's first trip to a pumpkin patch!!)

 Always so happy with grandma and grandpa.

 Adam was not so inclined to sit still for the pictures.
