Football Game and Spooktacular

Vernie and Dennis gave us their tickets for the game this last weekend against Colorado. We had a great time. Easton made friends with the people around us and got to practice his touchdown motion. Although, when he was really getting into it, no one was scoring! But it was still fun to watch! And we won! Can't get any better than that! Oh yeah, unless you get to take a mid-game nap!



After the game we took Easton to the zoo for Spooktacular (trick or treating). We didn't care much about the candy, as we don't really feed him much yet. But we'd never gone to the zoo with him, and it was a nice day. Manhattan Zoo isn't huge, so we saw about everything in an hour. According to Easton, everything we saw was a kitty-cat, including the wallabys. I think he enjoyed the little monkeys. They were about the only animals that moved much while we were there! And we did see a baby chimp too! Hopefully next summer we can go to a bigger zoo.



This video is from last week sometime. Easton is really into all sorts of cars and trucks right now. Basically anything that has wheels. Even if it's foam and stationary, if he realizes it's a car, he'll drive it around! And hauling things is even better. (He gets that from his Daddy!)

I got a new camera today, so maybe I'll be a little better about taking pics and posting....MAYBE!

Early October

Here's a few photos from early October. We've spent a few evenings at the park, since our days finally seem to be calming down a bit now and we actually seem to have time to go. So on the nicer days, we try to stop by for a few minutes. The sitter has a new slide at her house that they play on inside, and he is LOVING that! So at the park the other day he told Momma and Grammy Dene "go down". That was the first time I'd heard him say 2 words together like that! He's much better about going down on his bottom now, but sometimes he'll even surprise ya and go head first! He's even mastered the big slide at the park, and even waits til you're behind him to climb up!




Easton gets naked time for about 5 minutes after a bath or shower. We're certain he's peed in the shower, so one would think he would be good to go for at least 5 minutes! Right? Well, so far that's proved true. But one day last week he hadn't even been out for 2 minutes, when he peed on my blowdryer on the floor in my room!!! Thank God he missed my shoes! And luckily I have a backup blowdryer!!! He sure does enjoy this "free" time though! We can't let him run around in only a diaper anymore, cuz he knows how to get that off! So it's 5 minutes after a bath and then the pants are back on. Darn Mom and Dad!

Pictures from the farm

This last weekend we made a trip back to Osborne. It was a planned trip for my 10 year high school reunion. We did, however, end up going back a day early for my great uncle Math's funeral. So on Saturday, after the reunion lunch, we made a trip out to Uncle Math's farm. We got to see the house that my grandma and her brother and sisters had grown up in. I thought it was in surprisingly great shape! Easton had fun playing in the grass. It was a little tall and kinda hard for him to walk in. But he enjoyed himself anyway.

Oh, and before anyone emails to ask...those are mosquito bites on his head! Those buggies just love to nibble on him.






On the way back to town we decided to detour out to Uncle Ralph's farm, as he mentioned he had some new baby kitties. He also has a couple turkeys...one is rather large!!! Easton had a great time trying to chase the turkeys until I distracted him with the sighting of ducks. He chased those instead. Mom has some not so great memories of being chased by Grandma Sigle's turkeys!!!





I'm pretty sure Easton needs a baby kitty, but we really don't want another cat in the house. Ellie wouldn't like that. She's kinda a one-cat cat. Maybe someday we'll get an outside kitty...
