Mavericks that aren't trying to get into the Whitehouse

We all got to sit in the General Mills suite for the Mavericks / Gophers game tonight! We had a blast and the boys did great.

Halloween for Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat

Lots of Halloween festivities going on around our house this week.

While Granny B was here we went out to the apple orchard and when we were there we took a picture by the pumpkins. And brought home a peck of Honey Crisp apples (YUM).

Lots of Costume time for Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat...We went to a Halloween party for MOMS Club yesterday and Cayden got to wear his costume to school today.

Mom attempted to make pancakes shaped like pumpkins for breakfast this morning. They were even colored orange! :)

And tonight we're trick-or-treating for just a little bit and then going to the Gopher/Mankato hockey game (a treat at Mariucci arena). Chris won tickets at work and we get to sit in the General Mills suite!

And finally our neighborhood is having a fire tonight, so by the end of the day we will be tuckered.

Happy Halloween to everyone! We've had a great one at our house.

Love,
Jan

Happy Birthday Little Dilly

Well, I'm REALLY slow at getting this out today, but I wanted to be sure to post a picture of our baby on his special day.

Dylan Tyler is 2 years old today. We have had a fun weekend of celebrating...we have had lots of visitors...Grandad, Mima, and Nan came last week and stayed until today. Aunt Phyllis and Blake came for the weekend. And Granny B came yesterday and will be here until Wednesday.

We went to the Minnesota Children's Museum to the Halloween Spooktacular event, went out for lunch, and after Cayden's swimming lessons tonight we went to DQ for a Happy Birthday ice cream cone. It's been a great day.

I have a bunch of pics to share eventually from the fun celebration weekend. But for today here's a few of our little man. We love you Dilly!

Dad, Mom, and Cayden.

Out for the night...

We have a house full for Dylan's birthday this weekend! We went out on Friday night to Chino Latino for some stellar eats! Here is the pic they snapped for us:

Happy Birthday Vikki!

I would like to say Happy Birthday to my sister! She celebrated a big one today...but I won't say which one. We had a fun time getting together with the rest of the family and having some great food courtesy of my mom. I have a cute video on my phone of everyone singing happy birthday but it's in a different format then the blog takes and I only have 1 more minute to post before her birthday is over!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIKKI!
Love - your little brother and his family :)

Sweet ride

Cayden, Dylan, and I took Urv (my truck) to get a bath yesterday and happened upon this ride. Once I saw the plates I had to snap a pic! I think I'm going to go clean the bathroom and hope Jan gives me a raise!

Chris is Magic

I took this shot this past weekend in the midst of my eight Portraits in the Park sessions (whew!).

What Chris does with the kiddos we photograph is amazing. I couldn't get the shots I do without him.

I love working with you Chris. Thank you for your magic. And thank you for the hard work you do (seriously, sometimes he just about does everything but cartwheels)...love you!

This one's for you, Marcy

My friend Marcy asked me a LONG time ago to post a pic of my newly acquired cowboy boots so she could see them. So this one's for you, Marcy!

I LOVE them. (except I haven't officially worn them out yet...)

Husband...we need a cowboy boot début date!

Winter isn't in MN yet

This is Cayden playing in the neighbor's leaf pile. We had a beautiful day here!

DQ

We had a fun impromptu trip for ice cream after Cayden's swimming lessons tonight.

Weather

I hate doing a job that is dependent on the weather!

We had to cancel Portraits in the Park for Vokal Photography today. :(
