"Some people never find it, some only pretend, but I just want to live happily ever after every now and then." -Jimmy Buffett

We had a great weekend here in Rochester! It was nice to hang out here and also to get outside-we had some nice weather here on Sunday!! Kyle and I had a quiet night together on Friday night. Kyle had a great weekend--watched a lot of sports, hung out with his friend, and finally got the new Guitar Hero, World Tour--complete with drums, a second guitar, and a microphone. We were jamming out Sunday night!! I also had a great weekend-my friend melissa came to visit. We went and had some Mediterranean food at a new restaurant on Saturday. I met her and her parents on Sunday at a pumpkin farm out in Gananda-we had a great time. We went through the corn maze, jumped on this huge inflated pillow (which is FUN, but kind of harsh on my old body! Ha ha!), went down this big tube slide, went on a hay ride, and ate some goodies! Grayson took his first sips of apple cider--he loved it! Couldn't have been a better weekend!







In my new toy--thanks cousin Caryn!!



















I love to stand up!






















Read, set...

















...go...here are my THREE teeth! I am about to have two more on the top as well!! Don't put your finger in there-those teeth are sharp!















In the corn maze--we had fun wandering around in there, but lacked the desire to find all of the puzzle pieces that lead you to the end...one of the workers let us out of a secret exit! We still had fun though!!






































Too cool for school!




















Hanging in my pjs.



















Hey, I want that!
















Maybe this will help?
















Almost...




















Wait a minute--where is my food?














HI!












10/25: 10 months old!! I am a big boy--my 9 month appt. was last week: I am nearly 19 pounds and 26 inches long. My new favorite tricks are rolling all over the place, spinning myself around when I am on my belly, and pulling myself across the room with my arms. I also am trying to get up on my knees too. Look out momma and dadda--it's just about time to baby proof!



















I am so cute!

















Me and my buddy! Why do I only see him once a month though?

"Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold"

Happy October!! Grayson and Paige tell me they are excited about their first Halloween! Doesnt Grayson look excited!

















Wait--dont leave!














This past weekend Kyle and I traveled to Buffalo to meet up with the old Bingo crew to tailgate and see the Bills game. This was the night before!! We were so happy my parents said they would babysit so we could get away for the night!













9am-let the tailgating begin!


















Kyle is entertaining Lanae and Kathy...















New and old friends, Kathy, me, Lanae










Hmm--a shot of tequila in a hollowed out pickle. Surely I didnt do two of these that morning...our friend Andrea's family tradition.


















Flip cup--a good game for 9:30am!














The winners!

















The losers! But is anyone really a loser after flip cup??









We finally got into the stadium--after waiting for the power to come back on. It went off and on several times during the game but the Bills played on--and they won!


















Bonnie and Chris--and creeper Kyle!















Wow-I must have been having a great time!

To err is human, a pumpkin is divine.

Grayson and I spent the weekend with my parents and Lisa and Maddy. Kyle and Mat were home working and busy doing stuff around the house. We had a great time and Grayson got his first pumpkin. It was a beautiful weekend.

"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile." -William Cullen Bryant

September flew by. Back to work for me--I love having Paige here every day! She and Gray "play" (they do notice each other now) and have a great time. They are definitely keeping me busy. Grayson is rolling all over the place, loves to bounce, laugh and smile, and has two teeth now.

We recently traveled to Pine City and Walton to see our families. We are looking forward to this month-seeing Lisa and Maddy, as well as seeing some of our other friends we rarely get to see!

We cant wait to take Grayson pumpkin and apple picking.

Look for some new pics soon, I promise to post more often!!





Poppa's Birthday--we celebrated up at Aunt Lisa and Uncle Mat's house. 9/5













Grayson, look up!




















Playing on the floor 9/9



















Up at the DuBois's house for Friday night pizza. I am not sure I like the 'Cuse, but I wore this for the Millers.

















9/25: 9 months old! Where did that tiny frog come from?
















I love to smile and laugh!















Me and my momma on 10/3.

















I love you, da da!













AAAA!!!














Where did my chin go?











I like da da's hat!




























Look at me--I am Winnie the Pooh!















Brr--we went for a walk last night and it was cold.
















Grr, I am a bear.







(This is our nephew, Griffin, when he wore this bear suit! I had to put it in-he was too cute too!)
