Some random Nov updates.......

Today we went to lunch with Julie and Tucker. We ate at Ithaca bakery which was really good and then we headed to the park for some fun. Tucker was nice enough to share a snow suit with Tale so he would be warm while they played. Thanks Tucker. Tale loved the swing. IN this picture you can kind of see his top teeth finally coming in.

Tucker loved the tunnel, Tale was just trying to check it out. He liked the sand on it more than anything. These two guys are soooo cute!!!!!

Loving the swing.

Cutie pie...........

We went to lunch with Julie and Tucker here too. We tried this place called Moosewood which is a vegetarian place. Surprisingly it was really good. These are some pictures Julie took after we were done eating. The boys loved going up the stairs and pulling on the bars.

Tale got a bruise on his nose you can kind of see it in this picture. He fell and hit his face on the tv stand. But he is still so dang cute. :)

We went over to Tiffany's house for dinner and the kids were playing. Then Tiffany turned on a video and they all raced to the tv.

Tahri and I also celebrated our 4 year anniversary this month. We went to a nice seafood resturant, it was good, but I was feeling a little sick so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have if I wasn't. But it was nice to try another resturant and have a nice meal. Tale got to come too and had fun eating with his daddy. His daddy gives him everything and anything to eat. :)

Week of Fun

My friend Melody came to visit me from California. We hadn't seen each other since we both had our sons so it was great to finally meet Jonas and for them to meet Tale. The boys got along great in the beginning but then Tale got a little terriorial and started biting anytime Jonas would get near me. He had never done that before, I have no idea where he learned it from. Here are a couple of pictures when they got along.

So they got in Thursday night, so Friday afternoon we got ready and headed to the science center. It was such an awesome place. There was tons to do but the boys weren't quite old enough just yet, but they still had a lot of fun. Tale loved the mirror, I wonder where he gets that from? ha!

Jonas loved this toy and Tale quickly joined in on the fun.

Then the boys spotted the water and they were there most of the day. Tale was the only baby that didn't have shoes on, ah hello it is freezing and wet and he is barefoot. But he had so much fun splashing and playing with the water toys.

After the science center we went to grab something to eat. We went to Chili's and Tale loved the ribs. :)

Saturday we headed to the apple cider mill. I guess they are closing down for the season so we didn't get to watch them make apple cider but we did get donuts, apples and an apple pie.

Here we are eating our donuts.

Then Sunday we went to the Grismore Fram, where he picked apples from the tree, there weren't very many left but Jonas had a blast picking the apples from the tree. Tale was asleep so we left him home with daddy. Sorry Tale boi..........

There were some animals there too, Jonas didn't like them at first but he warmed up to them in the end. The animals loved Melody though, I was scared too, but still managed to pet one animal.

Monday we took a ride to Niagara Falls, it was about a 3 hour drive. I'm glad Tahri was able to go with us because he knew exactly where to go. Tale loved hanging out on his daddy's shoulders although he kept laughing and throwing himself back.

Us by the falls.

It was awesome to have Melody and Jonas over, thanks so much for visiting us. We miss you guys already!

Halloween

Thursday Tale and I went with our friends Tiffany and her daughter Taylor to go get some pumpkins to carve. But going 2 days before Halloween doesn't leave you with very many pumpkin choices. They only had big ones left and we were looking for some small ones. Oh well maybe next year mommy will take you earlier Tale. :) But we ended up getting some yummy apples instead. Tale just loved the apples, he played with one for the longest time and would get mad if I took it away. I finally took a bite out of it and he sucked and gnawed on it for awhile.

For Halloween Tale was a bear, how cute is he...........

A bear and a monkey...........

Our Halloween started off by going to the cider mill. We got some yummy donuts and got to watch how apple cider was made.

Daddy walking Tale back to the car after smapling 4 different kinds of donuts.
After the cider mill we headed to the commons for lunch and some trick or treating. After stopping at a few shops for some candy the boys ate some on the way back to the car so we could get home for nap time.
That night we handed out candy to all the kids in the neighborhood, Tale gave all his candy away, what a good boy. There weren't that many kids that came by. Here is Tale at the door waiting for more kids to come by. By the end of the night we were handing out handfuls so that we didn't have a bunch of candy leftover.

Boston

This weekend we got to go to Boston. Tahri had a few days off of school for fall break and we decided to explore some of the surrounding areas while we are in the East, and we decided to start with Boston. Our friends Sam, Julie and Tucker also came and we had a blast. We had to take Chanel to a kennel for a bit and we hated leaving her.

On our way to see the city.

We started off at the Four Points at the Sheraton and just had an awful experience. It was quite a bit outside of the city and we had to pay toll charges everytime we wanted to go into the city. There had to be a wedding or something going on because people were up and down the halls, slamming doors, shouting in the halls, and we could even hear people through our walls. And then at 2 in the morning we had a fire alarm go off and had to wait out in the cold for nearly an hour. After that we decided to check out and go to the Westin, where Sam and Julie were staying. That hotel was sooo much better! I'm sooo glad that we were able to get a room there.

We started off by going to Quincy market, it was a really cool hangout place. They had a lot of different shops, street performers, and a replica of Cheers. We ate at this really cool pizza place, it was good pizza and the owners were Italians with a strong Boston accent that entertained us most of the night.

We took the boys to the aquarium, they enjoyed. At first Tale was scared at the big shark and turtle but when we went back a second time he didn't seem as scared. He really loved the penguins.

We walked the freedom trail, got to see Bunker Hill, Paul Reever's house, where the Boston massacre happened and a few other historical sites. We also watched the freedom parade, it was nice until a gun was fired right in front of Tale. Poor guy got sooo scared, probably because mommy screamed too.

We took some pictures during our walk along the freedom trail. The boys were getting tired of sitting in their strollers.

We also went on a duck tour that took us all around the city and it also went in the water. Tale enjoyed the water for a bit, but started getting annoyed close to the end of the tour.

We are in the water, sorry Julie I hogged all the room. :) Here are some cute pictures.........

Tale and Tucker wearing the same outfit on the day we were leaving are they sooo cute?

September updates

Some random shots in the month of September................

Tahri went in to get some glasses because he has been having a hard time seeing things in a distance and he would get headaches after studying for so long, so he looked into getting some. We put a pair on Tale, soo cute right? They are not prescription glasses they were just one of the sample pairs to see which frames we wanted.
Tale in a lion costume, I ended up taking it back because it was a little too small and he didn't like it too much.

We got to go to a baby shower. Tale loved the ballons.

A few of the babies that were there. We had a couple of visitors from Australlia come and visit. Michael has one of Tahri's mission companions and he and a friend came to visit the US. It was awesome of them to come and stay with us for a bit. They were such a crack up. Tale enjoyed having them over too.

A few of us went to the Apple festival. They had some really good food there.

Mommy had a big Gyro.
