Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Steph Hoover called me and asked what my plans were and of course since Nick was working I had nothing to do. She told me there was a pumpkin patch up in Michigan and asked if I wanted to take Jeff and head up there. Heck yeah, we've been wanting to get him a pumpkin anyway. I made sure Nick didn't care, and off we went! Jeff LOVED every minute of it. This place is great! They have tons of different pumpkins to pick from, a train ride, corn maze, hay ride, and of course animals. We were there about an hour and had a great time!

Jeff didn't know where to start...there was just so much to see!



Jeff liked petting the cow, but the cow did NOT like him!



Look at that grin! He loved the pigs and got a big kick (literally) out of them.



Here he is giving the horse a kiss!



Walking on top of a straw maze like a big boy!

I took some video of Jeff enjoying the farm animals. He was running all over the place having a great time! I can't believe how big he is getting...just seems so old to me right now.

Helping Daddy & Grandpa!

Jeff is such a BOY! He loves to help with anything he can get his hands on. Friday night Nick was changing his headlight...well when you look at the picture my dad was changing it and Nick was just standing there, but anyway Jeff ran out the door, went and grabbed a tool from the toolbox and went the "help" the guys. It was adorable. Just another way that he's getting so much bigger!

Jeff's Polar Bear Experience

Yesterday afternoon my mom & I took Jeff to the zoo. It was such a nice day, I just couldn't pass up the oppurtunity. We didn't have much time, only an hour or so, but we saw all we needed too. The best part of the whole trip was the polar bear. It was laying right up against the glass and played with Jeff for a good 10 minutes or so, I took some video so you could see it...Enjoy!

Jeff & His Gator!!

The Dance...

Just A Great Weekend!

It was another wonderful weekend here for us! We had a nice jam packed schedule...well on Saturday morning, the rest of the time, we just relaxed and hung out! I got out of work early Friday and left around 1, which felt great. I headed to the grocery because I was adamant to cook this weekend and try not to eat out...I think I succedded pretty well! Friday night Nick didn't have to work at Dominos, so I made a nice salmon dinner. Felt great to cook! But we really took it easy Friday evening. Had a wonderful dinner, and then we took a ride out to the airport so Jeff could see airplanes. We were lucky and saw 2 airplanes coming in for a landing...Jeff LOVED every minute of it! We were all in bed early. Poor Nick and his work schedule...felt good to sleep!

Saturday morning Nick headed off to work and I got things ready to head out for the morning. Amanda was coming to the house around 9 so I had lots to do! At least Jeff was cooperative and let me get stuff done! Harrison Rally Days was happening in downtown Perrysburg and I was not going to miss it. Jeff enjoyed his first parade (you can see in the pictures below he's dancing around to the music), picking candy up off the ground, watching planes up in the sky, and being to cute for words!!! Amanda and I walked by vendors before the parade started so that was good. After the parade we made our way up to the Carter's outlet to use coupons! I got Lauren's shower gift and a few things for Jeff...I love sales! While we were up doing that, Nick went to Tiffin to get a surprise for Jeff, the Gator! And boy does Jeff enjoy it. He doesn't quite understand how to turn it yet, but I'm sure he'll get there. I made some delicous chicken tenders before Nick went into work...so much better then buying the frozen ones! Jeff & I just hung out and went to the park while Nick worked and I went to bed early...we are just the life of the party!

Jeff being silly!

Jeff so proud of his new toy

Sunday was another fun filled day! Nick had to work and was exhausted so I let him sleep until 930 and Jeff helped me make breakfast. We got ready to go though because I wanted to get to the zoo one more time before it got to cold. It was so much fun! Jeff really enjoys it, and from the pictures below I'm sure you'll be able to tell. Had everyone over for dinner which was good to see everyone since I wasn't at the lake this weekend!

The sloath bear came right up to Jeff, I think it was because of the peanut butter sandwich




George the Giaraffe!

Tractor Ride With Grandpa!

Jeff has no idea how lucky he is...

Last night we had to cut a limb off the willow tree that fell during the storm over the weekend, so that meant that John brought his truck and tractor over...and my little boy thought he was pretty cool stuff.

I was inside with Jeff giving him a bath and getting him ready for bed when John came looking for him because he needed a tractor ride. So outside we go and tractor ride he got...he LOVED it! Grandpa and Jeff look like they are having a pretty good time together, don't they??? Of course I grabbed a shot with Jeff & Aunt Steph because I don't have a lot of pictures of the two of them, and she is his godmother for cryin' out loud!

Jeff & Grandpa enjoying their tractor ride!

Look at their smiles...they are two peas in a pod!
