Carving pumpkins

Jonathan preferred to use a spoon while mom used her hands. Who is the kid here? The guts are my favorite part! And dad can do the detailed carving, he is great at that!

A day in dad's shoes!

One of Jonathan's favorite thing is to put on daddy's shoes and try to walk around in them.

The shoes are so huge on him. He looks so cute and small again. Some days I feel like my little boy is growing too quickly.

Birthday Cake

I made a couple different treats and we had some friends over to help us eat them all. For Morgan's actual birthday cake, I made a baked Alaska cake. It was so yummy.

The pictures didn't turn out so well, if I knew how to photoshop, I would have fixed them, but since I haven't figured that out yet, they remain dark.

Happy birthday to a wonderful husband and dad! We love you so much and are so glad we got to help you celebrate your birthday.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Morgan turned 26 on October 3, 2010. We had so much fun celebrating his birthday. I love a good excuse to have a party.

Jonathan and I woke up early excited to make Morgan's birthday a great one. We started the morning off with a very special breakfast, waffles topped with peaches, ice cream, and a dollop of whipped topping.

We even put a candle in his waffle and sang happy birthday to him. Well, I sang happy birthday, while Jonathan kept trying to blow the candle out.

Jonathan thought this special breakfast was pretty neat. He devoured the ice cream and most of his peaches, and left his waffle pretty much untouched.

Scrub a dub dub my little fish in the tub.

My little boy is turning into quite the fish. He could play in the bath all day long. And at the pool he is wanting to go off on his own now. He is growing up too fast!

Labor day weekend

We had planned on taking off early on Friday to go camping all weekend, but for some reason, we didn't leave until Sunday afternoon. It wasn't a bid deal, though. We were just excited to go and be in the mountains for a bit. We only had to drive a little over an hour to find this beautiful camping spot. It was perfect and we were so lucky it was open. Jonathan loved playing in the water and probably would have stayed in all evening. Once his lips started turning blue, I made him get out. Mean mom!

Labor day cont...

It took us a bit to figure out how to set up our new tent. Last time we went camping, we had all three of us and our gear packed into one of those ultra-small, ultra-light backpacking tents. It was VERY cozy to say the least. I love our new tent. We have so much more room to spread out. And the best part, it is a 4-season tent. Last time we camped in the winter, I thought I might freeze to death. Now I know I won't with this tent!

For some reason Jonathan got all upset about something and being the really nice mom I am, I decided to take a picture and then see what he was so mad about. Turns out he was mad a nothing, but at least I got this picture. I thought it was kind of funny. He almost looks like he is crying and saying, "Dad, I am starving. Hurry up and finish cooking dinner." Always dramatic!
