October Fun!

We have been having so much fun this October. Buck and Theodore have enjoyed the few dry days we have had. Buck had a Fall Break from Preschool and I decided to put Theo in PDO for an extra Friday so Buck and I could have a day together, we went to the Movies to see Cloudy with a chance of meatballs- it was Buck's first Movie Theater experience and he did great, we had to go right at the last 15 minutes of the movie, but we lasted a lot longer than I had guessed. He enjoyed a WHOLE movie theater bag of M&M's :) He had a perfect day.

Theodore has been cruising more and more but no solo steps yet, he is also babbling like crazy and can say Buck, Dada and Mama, and Ba ba - which is code for bottle, which he wants all the time. We have been having alot of fun, here are some pics of our adventures

Buck made his own Movie Theater Stadium seating, found him like this- we had nothing to do with the set up. We laughed and laughed!

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went to the Pumpkin Patch at Buck's School. It was a very simple pumpkin patch with loads of pumpkins and we must have picked the perfect fall day to go. Buck had a blast running around the pumpkins and we got some GREAT pictures of the boys. We told Buck he could have any Pumpkin he wanted but all he wanted to do was pick one out for his little Bro - he is the sweetest. Buck settled on a petite prince of a pumpkin for Hi T and we picked Buck a nice BIG pumpkin! We put them in the front flower bed and Buck loves to pet his pumpkin when we get home everyday. Here are the pics!

Ryan took this great pic! Just wish he could be in it too!

Theodore contemplating if he can carry this pumpkin to the car

Having a great time

Cheese! or wait say - Pumpkins!

Happy Theodore!

My Pumpkin is bigger than yours!

Here is a short video of Buck having an awesome time:

Theodore Time! (and some more preschool pics)

Theodore is really changing and getting his personality. I call him quite trouble. He is just as busy as Buck was at 9 months but he goes about everything very quietly and almost innocently. He is a climber and is starting to be quite the dare devil. He loves Buck and they play really well together, Theodore knows when to back away and do his own thing, especially when Buck does not share.


Climbing the chair, and yes he has almost made it into that pack and play


Double trouble

He is always so happy!

Being Super silly


He KNOWS he is really super cute!

Buck is doing really well in Preschool and I am very proud of him. WE are excited for family night in a few weeks where we get to tour his classroom and then go to the bookfair!


Still raining, Buck just wants OUTSIDE!

Buck in the Birthday Crown, we brought cookies so his class could celebrate

Fireman Buck, I know this was HUGE for him

Birthday Fun!!

Buck had his 2nd Birthday this weekend! We had a fantastic time celebrating and I will keep this short as there are a gaggle of pics to follow. I can't believe he is already 2!

A 64 piece tool set, Buck is excited and I am nervous!

Theodore thought it was his party, I didn't tell him otherwise, he was sooo cute!

Theodore enjoying Buck's Party!

My poor babies were sick at the beginning of the week, Buck had a virus nad Theodore was sent home from school and after a quick doctor visit it was determined he had not only an infection but pink eye too. Yuck. Poor Theo has also been teething bad but his hard work and sleepless night have paid off - he has 2 bottom teeth - YAY T!! He wont let anyone see his teeth yet, but I can feel them. Both boys are feeling great now and trying to get back to their regularly scheduled sleep patterns, I have faith that it wont be long and we can all sleep through the night, in our own beds at least once this month :)

Now that we are all well we can look forward to Buck's birthday this weekend! 2 years old already!

I took some pics of the boys in their camo, they are some mighty handsome hunters to be!

Here are the latest and greatest pics of Buck at Preschool, I love to see him interacting and having fun. He has only been 3 times and I can see how he is learning and advancing.


At Music

He LOVES the water table

A very artistic Buck painting Glue on his flag - he really liked this activity

Long Weekend Fun!

We had a great week, Buck is still enjoying his Preschool. They post pictures of the day on the website and I was able to snag these shots of Buck playing at the water table and making his red circles - which I thought was pretty cool!


Our best story of the week took place during our impromptu Pizza night. Buck loves pizza
(Pete -Zey he calls it) so since we forgot to defrost some meat, we got to have pizza on Wednesday night. Buck was very excited but we did not expect what would happen next. While we were getting all of the plates on the table, Buck folded his hands over his plate and said Amen, we realized we needed to stop and say the blessing. They say the grace at school at lunch and Buck reminded us we need to say it at dinner too, I was very proud of him!

We spent Saturday at the farm! We had so much fun, Buck went gatoring while Ryan dove hunted. T and I stayed cool in the house but got out for a few gator rides ourselves. Buck got a fishing pole at my baby shower, we decided this was the weekend to crack it open - Buck is a natural born fisherman, I do not know how mimi kept up with him. He went to the fishpond and would not leave! Luckily every cast was a score since we tied a plastic fish to the rod :)

8 month check up and Preschool

Theodore had his 8 month check up and is nice and healthy. He was in the 90th percentile in weight (shocker - lol) and 75th-90th percentile in height. He is really moving now too, he is a professional at crawling and is pulling up on everything. He is also just starting to cruise but this is hard at our house at it has been toddlerized and there is not much to cruise on. He is babbling and has a strong affection for puffs!

We have been busy getting back into our schedule now that PDO is back in session. Our big change this fall is that Buck is in Preschool 1 day a week. I LOVE his school and wish I could go with him. It is nice for THeodore and I to get our mommy and T time, he really enjoys that and I do too. Buck's first day of Preschool was a success, and he is very excited to go back this week, he says "preschool" every day and it is really the cutest thing he has ever said.

We also went to India Fest this week and Buck had his first taste of ethnic cuisine. He did ok, but the event was packed and very overwhelming for my little ones, we will definatley give it another go next year!
