10 30 2009 Carving the Pumpkins

So we got home from the pumpkin patch, ate dinner

then started carving. Daniel was OK cleaning the

pumpkin as long as you were doing it as well. I don't

think he was a huge fan. But when Dennis pulled out

our battery operated cutter Daniel wanted a turn.

He tried to get his hands on in the rest of the night.

I tried to get Daniel to do all the work so I

didn't have to. It didn't work.

While we carved our pumpkins, we had Daniel color

his. He really enjoyed it but he still wanted to

cut the pumpkin.

The finished product.

10 30 2009 Pumpkin Patch

Talk about last minute. Off to the pumpkin patch.

When I found this place online it said working farm.

This was not a working farm. But it was fun. Daniel

enjoyed himself.

He loved the hay maze.

Dennis didn't know what was on the front and

I wouldn't tell him.

Daniel was not a real fan of the slimy lama mouth.

Dennis tried. Daniel copied.

I don't know why he wanted to ride the pumpkin.

He also thinks he is suppose to throw the pumpkins.

We only bought 1 and then headed to the

store for cheaper pumpkins.

10 24 2009 Steven Cable's Wedding

So Steven and Holly got married at the

LA Temple. It was beautiful. It was a perfect

day. Jenny Cable was willing to watch Daniel while

Dennis and I went inside. He did very well. At least

until the end. If you look at the group pictures

next to the stairs had plants next to them in the

garden. Jenny was able to keep Daniel off the sides

in fear that he would fall off. Well, as we came out we

could hear Daniel crying. Come to find out he just did

what Jenny fear. He walked right off. The poor kid

had scratches all over. I thought it was too funny. Of

course it would be our child. We sure love the excitement

he brings into our lives.

The handsome couple.

They did a wonderful job decorating.

Daniel was so tired but refused to fall asleep.

He was a handful.

He loves grandpa.

10 23 2009 BB Gun

So we headed up to Dennis' moms because Steven

Cable was getting married. Alan (Dennis' brother)

took his BB gun. The boys went out to play

except for Daniel. I went out to talk to Dennis and

Daniel just watched. He wanted a turn. So Dennis

gave him one. I'm not a big fan of guns but I thought

this was a cute picture.

Another funny story that happened on this day was

I had Daniel in Mom C. backyard. It usually keeps him

out of trouble. But not today. Daniel came very excited

saying "Mama rocks. Rocks." He had two big handfuls of

old dried dog poop. So disgusting. I quickly had him drop

them on the grass and went and cleaned him up. I thought

later it would be funny if I had taken pictures but I really

didn't want him to repeat this activity. We had a talk about

them not being rocks. I thought it was so gross but very

funny. Boys will be Boys.

10 14-19 2009 Disneyland

Aunt Lori and Alicia were headed off to pick up

a seizure dog around Disneyland and invited me,

Daniel and Grandma along for the ride. It was great.

Aunt Lori would take Daniel in the morning while

me and Grandma took our sweet time to start our

day. There was no rush. It was great

At 9:25pm we could see the fireworks from our

hotel. It was great. Daniel was naming the colors.

10-14-2009

We also went to the Halloween Part. That was

fun. Daniel did not want his Halloween costume

on at all. I eventually took off the Yoda head but

made him keep the rest on. The parade was pretty

neat. It was a dance party. They pulled kids up to

dance. It was short but cute. Daniel really didn't

care because he had his eye on the balloons. Grandma

gave in. Daniel was happy the rest of the night. Daniel

didn't really get the whole trick or treating thing. I guess

we have two weeks to work on that.

10-15-2009

I just loved the scarecrows. They were funny.

The dance party parade.

Daniel warmed up pretty quick to everyone. He

loves being read to.

10-16-2009

This day we hit up Disney California. It was soooo

hot. Daniel just loved the water area. It always

surprises me when Daniel will go up to the characters.

I guess he feels like he already know them.

We also went and watch the play Aladdin. I just love

it. Daniel was a little antsy because he needed to sleep.

But he loved the big elephant.

10-17-2009

We hit up Disneyland on the last day. Grandma really

wanted to go on Its A Small World. Dennis had met up

with us last night and suffered through it. He even got

Grandma to go on Pirates. She really doesn't like the dips.

It was a blast and we are very grateful we were invited

to go along. I miss time spent with Grandma alone. And I

do miss Stockton.

10 10 2009 Legoland

Dennis received free tickets to Legoland from work

so off to pick up Grandma and then to Legoland.

Daniel loved the aquarium. I thought it was funny

when we were at the touching pool he was a little

nervous and he would put his fingers in the water

then quickly pull them back. He did this so quick he

almost fell off his stepping stool. Too funny.

Daniel's favorite part of Legoland was a kids roller

coaster ride. I can't remember what it was called but

Daniel called it the Dino Train. It was his first

roller coaster ride. You really couldn't tell if he

really liked it except when he got off he asked for

more.

We also enjoyed the boats. I did like how Legoland

puts areas along the side of the lines for the kids to

play in.

The cities were pretty neat. Its amazing what some

people with a lot of time on their hands can do with

legos. It was a bit long for Daniel. It was fun though

but I think Daniel still needs to be a little older for

more of the rides to have a blast.

10 18 2009 Mickey Mouse

We got a wonderful surprise package from

Nana and Gramps. In it was this Mickey Mouse

Clubhouse Jacket. Daniel just loves it. He calls

it his Mouse Shirt. He had to put it on right

away. Thanks Mom!! We did need a jacket for the

winter.

10 05 2009 Happy Halloween

Yeah!! Its October. Time for Halloween Decorations.

We put our out today. Its not much but it will do. I

have other stuff but I don't know if they will get out but

for now this is good.

10 04 2009 Grandma Musser's Tacos

This is for you Grandma. So Grandma's tacos

are not your typical re-fried beans and hamburger

meat. They are pork and beans and chili brick.

Daniel has not had them before and he dug it.

He is on his second taco in this picture. He even

didn't make that big of a mess.

We miss Stockton.
