Halloween 2010

Attempting the Two Thumbs Up.

Yee Haw, pardnahs!
"It's you and me tonight, buddy. You up for this?"
The sheriff and his deputy.
Godzilla attacks.
Having the time of his life, as usual!
The Bitty deputy.
"Don't start forest fires!"
"You're pretty trusty I guess, but my steed is trustier"
Enjoying the Bergmann's grass.
First stop on the Trick or Treat Trek.
Figuring it out.
"Yep, I got it now. Let's do this!"

Arrestingly adorable. Ha! Get it? Baba is so proud right now!

Weekend Pics

We had a BIG weekend!

Saturday morning we went to the zoo with the Claytors.

Evan trying to climb into the cow pen at the petting zoo.

Evan approaching the business end of a goat.
Next he tried the "in yo' face!" approach.
Being bashful with Delaney.
My guys.
I Wanna Iguana!
Evan is newly obsessed with leaves, thanks to some serious leaf jumping in MN.
Thinking about making a move on this young lass.
"Wheeeee!"
Riding the cheetah (jaguar?) on the carousel. More "wheeee!"
On Sunday we (Brian) carved our pumpkin. When Brian asked Evan what he wanted his pumpkin to say, Evan said he wanted it to have a smiley face and say "me so nice". We are truly indulgent parents.
Not so sure about the pumpkin innards. Just like Brian when he was little.
Spidermanning helped get over any reservations he may have had.
The Bitty Bit pumpkin.
Brian trying to instill enthusiasm through osmosis of the craniums.
It didn't work.
Taa Daa! The Me So Nice pumpkin is complete!
Cheese!

Thumbs up!

Happy Halloween!

MacDonald Ranch 2010

Today we went to MacDonald Ranch, it has become a fall tradition to take the crew.

Evan rode TWO horses. Yee haw! He is really getting into the Halloween spirit this year since he and Hollan are going as cow people.

The pumpkin patch.

Is it possible? We got them all to sit still at the same time!

The petting zoo.

These are a bit out of order due to a super chaotic day...sorry!

Hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We almost got kicked off the wagon when the kids started kicking the metal under their feet. Apparently it spooks the "horses" (mules).

Evan's prize pumpkin!

The above mentioned horse ride. He is very serious about this.

Sit down and make yourself comfortable....this will be a long one!
