Dawson's Birthday party at school...................

Dawson got to celebrate his birthday at school on the 11th.  I think that mommy was more excited then he was.  Since he got to take a special treat that day I made pirate ship cupcakes and took paper pirate hats for all the kids to wear.  When the kids bring in a treat they get to help Miss Anne put out the napkins..........he did it perfectly!  She only had to ask him to do it once and he didn't question anything...........I wondered what she did with my kid =)  After school that day we also went for his 4 yr. check up - our big guys is weighing in at 46 lbs. and 44 inches tall.  He is our big boy!  Lauren had her 4 month check up too that day and our petite little princess weighed in at 13 lbs. 9 1/2 ozs. and was 25 inches.  

Eating cereal..........

Lauren started eating cereal last week..............and she loves it!!  

School trip to the Pumpkin Patch.........

Last week we went on Dawson's first field trip.......to the pumpkin patch.  Of course we were just there a few days before but he loved it just the same.  The minute we got there he looked for his new best friend Evan.  I would have loved to have gotten a picture of their faces but they were to quick.  From what Miss Anne says they are inseparable and play very well together.  We got to go on a hay ride and pick our own pumpkins.  He was so proud of himself when he was able to pull the pumpkin off the vine himself.  We got to pet some of the farm animals........which I have to admit was gross.............and who lets 25 3 and 4 years olds in with a bunch of animals and the mess they make?

Such a big girl these days.............

Little Miss Lauren decided last week that she was a big girl...........she now can hold her bottle by herself.  Its amazing how she is changing!  I don't want her to grow up!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We went to Walsh Farms last weekend to pick pumpkins and for Mommy's favorite photo-op with Dawson.  We got the pumkins but not the photo!  Dawson has become to busy for the camera and when I do get him to sit still he has forgotten how to smile........that is smile normally.  We had perfect weather that day and were very surprised when we saw they had a 60 foot slide...........Daddy and Dawson rode on it three times, once together and then Dawson wanted to go by himself the next two times.  What a big boy he has become.  Lauren and Mommy waited at the bottom with hopes that they both made it down safely.  When we got home that afternoon Dawson and I decorated our pumpkins with my new favorite things!!!  No more carving for us =)
