Fun at the Pumpkin Patch et all

end of a long day...

fearless Oh-I saw the last guy go head first so...

the perfect pumpkin Here's another one!

Had a blast with grandma and grandpa at the pumpkin patch! Claire made sure they both had plenty of pumpkins to carry while Darren and Damian found the perfect one. Damian had his 1 year dr appt-perfect of course! 22 1/4 lbs and 29.5" long now at 50% weight and height. Claire is all about going to the doctors now-her lips hurt last night so she needed Dr Kara to make her feel better...;o)

Best conversation of the week....

"mommy, you left your shoes in my room. Thats NOT fair and NOT nice. " when I laughed... " and its NOT funny. We need to go to your room and talk about this..." ( did my shoes stink???)

September

Claire's definately a little girl now=where did our baby go? Her conversations are hysterical! "mommy you scared me very hard-don't do that!"
"I'm going to sing, you stay quiet!"
"my leg is itchy too"
" You're ok little man, look Damians happy now!"

Damian is SO CLOSE to walking-he's cruising all over the furniture now, until big sis knocks him down-argh! We're also starting to hear more "words" hi! mamamama! byebye, grandpa thougth he heard hat today..

End of summer

First ferris wheel ride! Not too sure about it, especially when it stopped with her on top-LET ME OUT!! Walking as much as he can! Its hysterical when he stiffens his legs so you can't sit him down-WE WILL WALK NOW!

Playing a show for maw maw and pop

Claire and I saved a toad that fell in our window well-("Poor little fella-we have to save him!" Claire)

I belive Claire is channelling Picasso in her animal creations...

Whats this?

Swinging together!

Why won't this flower come off?

Pretty as a picture

Right now we're having beautiful weather and spending every minute outside that we can! Claire is busy making friends every time we hit the playground, pool, whatever, and Damian is getting more and more mobile. He's really cruising along the furniture now and getting better at his "roll, wiggle, crawl" move..We hit taste of colorado festival, where Claire and Damian both enjoyed checking everything out-And Damian loves BBQ (ate half of Daddy's sandwich!)

Hot times at the zoo and cooling off at home!

Cool as always-still loving her sun glasses! Chilling in the shade with grandma!

Monkeys are Claires "favorite choice!"

All grins and flirting with young mom next to us!

I sat on a zebra!!!

Groovin on his ocelot! DD loved the merry go round! Drums always one of the highlights!

"I'm going to be a musician!"
