Happy Halloween!

Here is Harrison with one of his girlfriends, Haylee! They went trick-or-treating together and were adorable holding hands while walking to each house. Of course, they loved the candy too as you can tell!

Pumpkin Patch....Again

We went to the pumpkin patch again, it was still muddy and a bit chilly, but not too many days to choose from this month! Harrison LOVED it again and didn't want to leave! Here are a few highlights from the over two hours we spent there!

H & H Pumpkin Patch Trip

We went to the pumpkin patch with one of Harrison's best friends, Haylee! They are adorable together - being cheesy, hugging, and dancing with Barney. This post has a lot of pictures, but it was just so hard to narrow it down much more. And of course, one picture with moms in it! We are rarely photographed anymore since kids came into our lives!

Paradise Pond

We have been to a fabulous indoor play place called Paradise Pond three times this month! Harrison loves going and asks to go back almost every day we're not there. We have met his friend, Christian, there and he loves "racing" him on the cars and they were a hoot dressing up as cowboys!

Future Dancer...

At Annie and Bret's wedding this past weekend, Harrison was enamoured by this 9 year old boy, Hayden, who played with Harrison, humored him, and taught him a new dance trick....

Introducing Harrison's first wedding reception dance move - The Worm!

Thank you Pretzel & Bret....

Annie (who we have nicknamed Pretzel) and Bret sent Harrison this great birthday gift. Harrison didn't quite understand how the gift came without them...

Big Boy...

During one of the times we were cleaning out the apartment, Harrison got back on his Powerwheel Jeep Aunt Elaine and Uncle Mark got for him for his birthday! He has been afraid of it, but seems to be getting the idea now! If only he knew how to steer!

We're Moved In (somewhat)...

Here are some pictures of the new house we've been settling into! We all love it. Harrison loves helping to give tours when someone comes over! Every time we pull into the subdivision he says, "Hi new house!" or when we leave, "Bye, new house"! Please excuse the bit of a mess here or there! Still a few things to get done!

The Return of Pat...

I thought it be fun to see Harrison's progression with Pat the Bunny over the past two years! (Thanks Kristin for the idea!)

Swimming...

.........................................................................................................

Harrison LOVES to swim this summer...I caught some video at the pool yesterday to show off his mad skills!

Second Birthday!

Here they are...pictures of the cake and a couple of other ones on the trains. Harrison and his friends had a blast at the party.

The After Party...

We had family meet up for lunch after the birthday party to enjoy some more time together. Harrison got his gift from Aunt Elaine and Uncle Mark there. He ran to it and said "beep beep" as soon as he saw it! You can see the joy in his eyes! He is a little afraid of it when it moves right now, but he will definitely grow into this gift for a while!

Our Monkey...

Probably a no-no, but he was so proud of himself...

Hi Grandma!!

He said it and we got it on video too!! It only gets better from here...

Family Fun!

We had a blast with Brian, Alyssa, and Dax visiting last week. Alyssa and I got away for the weekend to enjoy a scrapbook retreat, yes we are nerds and we love it! The boys survived just fine (I mean Steve and Brian survived - hee, hee). Of course I took a zillion pictures but decided to not bore you and show you only a couple favorites along with video. Harrison loved having his "uncle", "sisa" (Alyssa), and "Dax" visit. He has been asking for Dax to sit by him when he eats and riding in the car all of the time. I think he is kind of lost now without all the people around! We called "uncle" to tell them all thank you for the table and chairs they bought Harrison for his birthday and when we got off the phone, Harrison cried...he wanted Dax to play with him. Everytime he sees a suitcase he says, "uncle airpane" and wants to go fly. We miss them a lot!

Cousins in action...

If we had room, I'd totally get this toy, they LOVED it!

Harrison showed Daxton one of his favorite tricks (I suspect Daxton already knew about), even though it is a "no-no", they were having fun, so how could we deny them, right?!

Happy Fourth!

This post is late, sorry.... As we were waiting in the truck for the fireworks show, Harrison was having a blast, jumping all around the seats and climbing like a monkey! He had mixed feelings about the fireworks (boom booms as he calls them). He would say, "green, blue" and watch them and then hide in my arms. We were really close and they were loud, but he like them overall!

Boys and their toys...

These pictures were hilarious! Yesterday, after Joann and I took Harrison to the Aquarium, we met Grandpa Gill and Daddy at the Clubhouse when they were done playing golf. Steve was on the phone and I gave Harrison his play phone (thanks Grandma!) and it was so cute how Harrison started talking just like Steve!! Then, today Harrison kept trying to put Steve's ear buds in his ears so Steve hooked them up to his iphone and let him hear music. Harrison just stood there and listened, it was absolutely adorable!!

Last ISR Lessons!

We are officially done with swimming lessons! We have been going to the pool all week and Harrison loves swimming. He has no fear and can swim to a float on his back like a pro! Every time we go to the pool people ask if he took swimming lessons and are impressed with what he does! Best of all, he has fun and we are more relaxed with him at the pool!

St. Louis Visit Again!

We went to St. Louis again to visit the first weekend of June (yes, sorry I'm a bit late in posting). Harrison and I went without Daddy, but still had a great time! Dax and Harrison are having more and more fun with eachother each time we get together! We also had fun seeing some of our second cousins, Nathan, Alli, and Baby Ben, just to name a few! We went to the beach at the lake, Grant's Farm, and Sonia's Graduation Party! Busy visit, but lots of fun!
