Mountain Man
Adam and Patrick went hunting in Oklahoma over the weekend. I guess it was a successful trip because they are bringing back 3 deer. Here is Adam's nine point - my dad had to explain what that meant. I'm what you might call a true City Gal.
Happy Hunting out there!

The best aquarium....ever!
Geez, I should get a kick back for this post. While in California, we went to the Monterey Aquarium. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend you stop by. It was a huge aquarium with countless activities for kids. We had so much fun watching Holton explore the whole place.
Holton was doing some research on Shamu
Here is Adam trying to get Holton to touch some of the sea life
How artistic, don't you think? Amanda took this picture.
He loved the slide
Me and my little guy
We had a heck of a time getting Holton to leave this play area.

I love this picture of the newlyweds. Adam, Holton and I took one of these, but the pictures are still on my mom's camera. Look for us in the clam on your Christmas card.

Holton's Birthday
We celebrated Holton's 2nd Birthday in California! We were in town for my cousin's wedding. And I really lucked out and found this wonderful bakery on line and they created the perfect cake for us.
Thankfully I took these pictures before we had the birthday lunch. That is when Adam forgot the cake was in the stroller (because I wouldn't let anyone hand carry the cake for fear of dropping it) and he flipped the cake box over. Let's just say I was not thrilled with that. Poor Adam. But, all was ok. When it came time to cut up the cake and give everyone a piece, Holton started to cry. He was very upset that Adam cut apart Thomas....LOL.
Anyhoo, Holton really liked the part where he got to open his gifts from Patrick & Amanda. Here he is enjoying his presents.
Because you are only two once, I had a shirt made for his big day :)
Now, I must give my review on Carmel, California. Two words - never again! The people are crazy there. You could hear a pin drop at any restaurant in that dang town. Seriously, they don't talk there. People were giving us the worst looks during our lunch. If you are wanting a warm, friendly, place.....avoid Carmel. It was so quiet in our restaurant that we had to whisper sing Happy Birthday to Holton! Check out the bitter family behind us.
We ignored the snooty folk and had a good time celebrating with our little guy! He just kept on playing and didn't notice any negativity. Happy Late B-Day baby boy.

I'm late on Halloween
I am very behind in updating the blog. Yes, I'm just now getting around to posting Halloween Pictures. Holton was a dinasour that carried a Thomas the Train Bucket. He has his a unique fashion sense.
Holton with his older buddy, Owen.
We went to Robin's house first and enjoyed all her decorations.
I must have been really funny.
We may have a new Star Wars fan.

Holton is two today!
It is so hard to believe that our little guy is 2 years old! They say that time flies, and it's so true. It seems like just yesterday we were checking into the hospital for his delivery.
Holton has brought so much happiness to our lives and I can't tell you how much I love being his mom. Oh sure there are good and bad days with any toddler. But most of the time Holton cracks us up and it's so much fun watching him learn each day.
Right now he's talking up a storm - when he isn't being completely shy. You really have to watch what you say around him because he'll repeat whatever he hears. Some of his favorite things to say:
• Come here - says this to me, Adam and always to Gus
• Excuse me, mamma - this is when he wants me to move
• Bye guys – says this to his friends at school
• Choo Choo Train
• Thomas – he loves trains
• Fix it - started saying that this week when the plumber came to our house
• Chocolate milk - this one is a big player in our house
So Happy 2nd Birthday, Holton!! Your dad and I love you more than anything in this world!
Holton with an early B-Day present
Getting his groove on with the Yo Gabba Gabba guy. For you non-parents...Oh just wait....

All things Fall
I know I'm very behind on the blog and now I'm playing catch up!
Below are some pictures of Holton enjoying fall activities. OK, so you may not think he enjoyed himself by the stern look on his face, but I promise he did. He's been to two pumpkin patches and loves to say pumpkin over and over. And, he was very impressed with the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin show last night. The big pumpkin at the start was very intriguing to him. He said - whoa, big pumpkin!
Dee, Kaylee, Holton and me went to a pumpkin patch at the Frisco Rough Riders stadium.
They were not thrilled with the idea of waiting in line. But, Holton was kind enough to hold Kaylee's bag. See - they are meant to be!
The kids scoping out the perfect pumpkin
Is it too early to plan their wedding? Seriously, Holton looks more interested in that tiny pumpkin and Kaylee was just enjoying the popcorn.
Bev and I took Holton to another pumpkin patch. If you notice, he needed help from Thomas the Train that day.
Yea, we didn't do this ride. Holton was ok with a photo op....and nothing more.
And, I enjoyed a little October festivities too! Last week I went to two great Halloween parties. I love seeing the different costumes......some were not fit for this blog.
Me as a 50's car hop, Teresa as a Margarita, and Jess as a sexy flight attendant.
Check out this hot guy we danced with at Robin's party.
He was very popular.

Random Pictures
I'm still waiting to download some pictures from our camera. We've been pretty busy with fall activities like the state fair, pumpkin patches, playing at the park etc. But here are some random photos in the meantime.
In early September we hit up the local fall festival. It was sooooo hot, but Holton loved this ride.
That's him at the top of the ladder about to go down the slide. He had no fear this day!
Adam's Uncle sent us this one. My two Hawaiian Guys!
Holton was very happy partying late into the night.
We have some great pictures from the State Fair, but here are a couple from my phone.
We went to a birthday/costume party on Sunday. Holton was a dinosaur with a pacifier and matching flashlight (a new twist on an old costume) and I'm a cave woman in a wind storm, with trendy, knock-off glasses.
