Halloween 2010

Just like last year...Tyler enjoyed dumping out all the candy and putt the bowl on his head!

Tyler shows off his candy!
Tyler, Abby and Brianna having fun trick or treating!

Early in the day Grandma, Grandpa, Grammie and Pop-pop came by to see Tyler all dressed up! Then Tyler went trick or treating with Abby and Brianna. He didn't really seem "into" it but we kinda expected that....however, after each house he would ask for more! It's too bad he was so shy while trick or treating because our little monkey sounds so cute when he says "trick teet"! His favorite part of Halloween was playing with his new truck that Jenn, Shane, Abigial and Olivia got him and handing out the candy to the trick or treaters that came to our door!

Baby Nerd, Grammie and Monkey, Corn Maze!

This day began with Tyler asking to wear props from his daddy's Halloween costume. Then Grammie came over to babysit and Tyler tried on his Monkey costume for her and Mommy and Daddy enjoyed an evening out at the largest corn maze in Illinois with Jamie and Rick! We actually completed the maze in two and a half hours and we were able to hit every check point! We had so much fun we are going to make it a tradition to go every year!

Neighborhood Halloween Party and Baby Shower!

It's not everyday you see grown men dressed as cowboys, nerds and scarecrows drinking from a baby bottle!

The expecting parents!

Mckenzie and Kerrigan!

You can tell Tyler is very used to playing with girl toys from being at Abby and Olivia's house...as soon as he gets to Mckenzie and Kerrigans home he plays with barbies and has Ms. Kali straighten his hair!

The Friday before Halloween we had a neighborhood Halloween party! All the kids looked so cute dressed up...and the adults had fun dressing up too! A big thank you to Kali and Jeremy opening up their home to all of us (they were very brave considering 12 kids on a sugar high were running through their home)! We also had a mini surprise baby shower for the Tekampe's we are expecting their third baby but their first little boy...who by the way was due today (Nov 5th) but still hasn't arrived! We had so much fun making a Halloween themed diaper cake, dessert cake and even games like drink the blood from a baby bottle with spiders and fingers floating inside! And Tyler loves playing at the Latham's house...barbies and playing beauty salon are his favorite!

Pumpkin Painting

In both of these pictures you can clearly tell that TJ is saying "cheeeeesssse"!

So the idea was to carve pumpkins...However, Tyler is still a little young and he honestly could have cared less about doing the project (he did momentarily help scoop the goop out of the pumpkin). So painting pumpkins is what he got to do instead and this he loved!!!

Hitman

Tyler has very much enjoyed going to watch his daddy play football on Sunday mornings! Okay honestly I don't even think Tyler knows there is a game going on because he is too busy playing and running around the track with Abby and Brianna! But they look so cute in their matching t-shirts!

Halloween Party

This year for the annual Halloween party that our friends from college throw I dressed up as a cowgirl, Vince was a nerd and Tyler was the cutest monkey ever! Tyler had fun playing with his best buddy Evan the hamburger (his mommy and daddy were Dave and Wendy)! Like always we had so much fun and it was great getting the old college gang together once again!

Pumpkin Picking

Tyler in deep thought about which pumpkin to choose!

In the shot above Tyler was saying "I don't know" because we kept asking him where the animal that was behind the fence was!

We had a blast taking a trip to Stade's farm for pumpkin picking! Tyler loved the pony rides, slide and petting farm. He even enjoyed taking his first tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch. It was so adorable watching him select him very own pumpkin! He always seemed to go for the pumpkin covered in bumps or the one that was not really orange! And after we picked our pumpkin Tyler got to play in the corn box! This was his favorite part out of everything! After playing in there for a very long time we literally had to go in ourselves and pull him out while he was kicking and crying to play more! We really had a great time and can't wait to go back next year!
