Happy Birthday Dada!!!

It was Don's birthday last week so we went out to eat to celebrate. Don's parents joined us. We went to Don & James' favorite resturant Texas Roadhouse. Don & I like this place since James can be as loud as he wants and no one cares :)

It was really cute & funny but James thought that we were singing Happy Birthday to him :)

Park Time

We have been trying to get oustside as much as we can lately before the cold weather comes. One of James's favorite parks is the playground at Clay elemaentry school in Altoona. It has play ground equipment for every age group, so there is one perfect for him & his size!! His favorite & mine is the bumble bee ride :)

James LOVES steering wheels & pretending the drive!!

Carving Pumpkins

We decided that we were finally going to carve our pumpkin that we got a few weeks ago. This is the 1st time that James has ever carved a pumpkin before. He really wasn't too interested in it. I stuck his hand down the pumpkin which he thought was funny, but than he got mad that he hand was all dirty! Don & I carved most of it , James did help by poking holes in it with the pen that we used to trace the face with before cutting it out :) For some reason this blog has had some major issues uploading pictures sorry....I try:)

1st Pumpkin Patch

We headed out to our 1st pumkin patch with James this weekend. After talking with other friends that have one years we decided to go to Center Grove Orchard in Cambridge, just outside of Ames. It was amazing it was a pumpkin & apple orchard. They had a petting zoo, little tractor races, corn pool, jumping pillow & a huge slide you go down on with potato sacks, which I think was James favorite part & mine too!! He laughed and laughed the whole way down the slide it was so heartwarming to hear him giggle!! They had a blue grass band playing live music and James got right up front and danced along with the other little kids. James ended up picking out our pumkin that we took home, all 15 lbs of it!! We came home with some yummy apples and apple crisp too!!
