First Hair Cut and Halloween!

I gave in, I was waiting for the big 1 year but it was just driving me nuts. NO more Joe Dirt mullet in the back! He did a great job!

Loved Amber.

We also participated in Jude's first Halloween. This included us running to the store about 30 minutes before 5 to get candy. Because that's how I roll now. We grabbed 3 bags. NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. By the time you take out the bag Jude and I ate, that only left 2 :/ Had to close shop by 7. Whoops.

No wonder we didn't have enough!

I see you!

What like this Mom? Did you get your picture??

BOO!

Pumpkin Patch!

Believe it or not, this will be Jude's FIRST Halloween! Woohoo. What does that mean? Nothing really because he's too "big" kid looking to put a "my first Halloween" onesie on. I'm trying to not buy onesies anyways. We may go around to the neighbors and hand out candy though!

We did go to the Pumpkin Patch with our good buddies the Maxedons. What a great patch! Check it out!Oh man, just a bit more than I thought. I guess that's what happens when you play around with your new camera :) At least I didn't type a lot :)

LOVES riding toys.

Long hair!

I love his concentrated, determined face.

The one place I let him roam around free outside! The park!

Our little men.

Cold, wind, and swing = bad combination!

Styling with his new fall clothes!

Mommy love.

Uh, pretty sure, this guy has a thing for Rachel...

Ouch.

Awwww.

Tired and ready for nap, both of them :)

Everytime we see Eli, I feel like Jude puts something by his head. :) A hat Eli?

Tractor ride!

OH MY! Look what he found!!!!!!

I bet he literally peed in his pants seeing these! hehe

He thinks he's "sooo big" at the patch!

He LOVED this.

No fear.

Talk to the hand Eli, no time for chatter, smile!

What am I suppose to do with these!

Hey buddy, I didn't know you were coming!

Now you should be good until Halloween! Cheers!

11 month activity

It's been awhile. Things are going. He's everywhere in everything possible! He's so fast. Nearly running really. His favorite places are under the end table, in the toilet, under the kitchen chairs, you know, all the deadliest places. A lady at the park asked if he is "fearless"...after pondering and then spotting him climbing up the stairs on the playground, I said "yes." He's fun though! So funny. Walks around throwing things saying "uh." Right, he fails to say the "Oh." He also just started saying "mom mom mom mom." Like "dada" I'm not convinced he is purposely saying these, but it's cute.

School and work are going. Had my fall break this week which is really spoiling. I have to go back :( Ugh. I think I'm half way (or more) done with this semester though! I can't wait for November. We'll have Thanksgiving break then just a little bit until I'm done for the semester. Then Spring and BOOM! Never going back again. Can not wait for MAY. Really, I can't wait. I look on the Umsl page at least once a day to see when graduation is. Yes, I will be walking proudly in that awful gown. I never look good in hats. But hey, I'm doing it. I even hope to get some special tassel, rope things too. Clearly I don't know what they are, but I figure a 3.9 gpa should get me something pretty to whip at my neighbor during it. :)

Well here's what we've been up to.
