Last week Trav was out mowing the lawn so we joined him. I'm still beyond thrilled about all this nice weather! Collin is getting to be quite the climber. This was the first time I've seen him make any progress climbing our tree. Of course I had to help him down. At the park, during playgroup, he made it all the way to the top of one of those rainbow ladder things.... and then needed help down. I'm really pretty surprised he hasn't broken his arms yet.
I was lying on the grass on my back and Weston was sitting on my neck (sounds weird, but you've done that right?). And the light was hitting the trees and all sorts of pretty colors were in the background, so I had to try to capture it in a picture. Real life is just so much better.
Tried out a new {do} on Collin. What do we think of the side part?!
Last Friday for our date night, we finally cashed in on a Groupon I bought over a year ago. We went to a cooking class at a place called Delish, sort of downtown. I know husbands everywhere are sooo jealous. I had actually thought we would be cooking together when I bought it, but it turned out to be a demonstration type thing. The night was centered around chicken recipes so she made about 5 different things and we got to eat a bit of all of them. We had ideal seats and our wine glasses kept a steady flow of Diet Pepsi, so I was a happy camper! Trav had a good attitude about the whole situation so that helped! He probably figures that since I'm putting time and effort into planning these nights he better be a good date, right?! :) And we couldn't help but buy a couple of the {Sprinkle-esk} gourmet cupcakes from their pastry shop to take home! Not too shabby!
On Saturday, we headed to Clarence to go to the Great Pumpkin Farm with some friends. I was reminded that it's really more of a carnival/fair with pumpkins in the front and a hay ride in the back. It's really a big let down compared to Becker Farms. Anyway, Collin had fun getting his face painted (Batman) and we did the hay ride.
Because I just don't take enough {sleeping baby} pictures....
Is there really anything sweeter than a sleeping babe?!
And I love that even when I have to wake him up, the first thing he does is smile at me.. (whilst squinting at the bright light).
Have to admit that when I catch him like this, it scares me a bit. Apparently the helmet gives him just enough space to get air, even laying flat on his face. He better not get too used to that.
Every night we sneak a peak at Collin, he seems so big. And yet, he's still got that darn pac. Trav's on a mission to put a hole in it then gradually make the hole bigger til he doesn't want the pac anymore. Trouble is, he keeps forgetting to make the hole bigger.

Ok amillion things to say here...
1) Is that hair popping out of Westons helmet in the first pic? It's adorable whatever it is and I can't believe what a big boy he is!
2)You always come up with the most creative date nights! I am going to start taking notes from you!
3) Love the pumkpin farm but please never forget our first excursion to Becker Farms together downing donuts, squeezing through that nasty haunted house bubble thing, corn maze, and laughing the day away. I wish I was there. My heart is hurting. People were so excited about the pumkpin farms out here as they've told me, and all they have is one in a parking lot next door to McDonalds! I miss NY this time of year!
4) I also about died laughing looking at the pic of Weston face down! hahah. What a little sweetheart!
5) Why do our children love their binkies? Don't they know it's not COOL anymore!
6) Why don't I just call you instead of writing a novel in your blog comments????
Miss ya!
Those sleeping pics of Weston are so cute! It needs to be December so I can see him! So as I was admiring all the pretty tree pictures I realized that last year we would be coming to visit you guys next week. Ah I wish we could come again. Collin is so big now and is that the blanket I made for him? Yours looks so clean and shiny, mine is all matted down and nasty. But, it is our favorite blanket.
oops posted by accident. I had to say something about the houses. I busted out laughing at the temple pres house. Haha, the others were pretty good too.
Your kiddos are just so dang cute! And they are getting so big! I wish we could've visited you guys, seems time has run away without us and we are still trying to catch up. Way to go with the potty training! Doesnt it feel glorious to have him reach that milestone?! Tip about the binky, we heard about the hole and slowly making it larger but when we cut the binky we made it too big. But it worked out because we gave it to him, he cried and said fix it. We said we can im sorry its broken. He cried for a bit then, anytime he asked for it we would say remeber its broken. It took a weekend but then he was over it. Glad to hear everthing is goin good though. :)
lovin the side-part on collin, he looks like Tin-Tin, do you remember that show?
