Lately

Here's a few things that have been going on lately (I haven't taken many pictures, but will start again soon).

Fischer won't eat a muffin that I cut up for him anymore...he wants them whole, even though this happens!


Playing basketball with daddy.


Getting some "hang time."


Ready for Dustin's 10-year high school reunion.

Fischer enjoyed the open space of the big soccer field at daddy's old high school.

Then he had to take a juice break.

He loved this dirt bike...and posed at just the right time for the pic!

Halloween 2009!

We began the night at Papa Jack and Granna's house where Fischer learned quickly what a bowl of candy was for:


Giving "ghostie" some love :)


He found his pacifier hidden in the bottom of his bag...we got it away later!


Loving the duck pond at the Fall Festival:

He kept asking us for "cake" all night long...finally, he won on the cake walk and enjoyed a cupcake with daddy!

Pumpkin bowl!

Ring toss...toddler style

It started getting a little chilly when the sun went down, but he warmed up by shooting hoops!

This attempt didn't go as well as the little tykes set :)

Finishing off the night with the football toss...time to go home!

This isn't related to Halloween, but I wanted to show how Fischer isn't afraid of anything! We were at the local bounce house, and Grandma was helping Fischer get up the ladder on the big slide...she must have been taking too long b/c he decided to slide by himself, then wave at Grandma as she came after!

Some More Random Stuff

Here's some stuff that went on recently before the big move:

Fischer's first gummy worm! (He just sucked on it until he was covered in sticky goo)


Sharing grapes with Charlotte at the park.



Rolling up playdough balls...


Then squishing them!

Long before Fischer was even a thought in our heads, I took a trip to East Asia with my sister...the toddlers there were wearing these little sandals that squeaked like a toy when they walked...I'd never seen them before, so I had to buy a pair! Four years later, Fischer is enjoying the benefit of my forward-thinking:

Once again, here's the difference between girls and boys...Charlotte is playing so sweetly in the pumpkin patch, then you'll see what Fischer is doing for his entertainment at the end:

Papa and Fischer were playing t-ball in the yard...before this video, Papa was tossing the ball up and hitting it with the bat instead of using the Tee...here's Fischer attempt to copy him:

This little infant toy was Fischer's favorite as a newborn...now that he's bigger, he is trying to make all the sounds it makes:

Eva's 1st Birthday!

Little Eva turned 1 last week...she's getting so big! Here's some pics from her party:

Mommy, where's my cake???


She bent over and licked it instead of using her hands...can't get those pretty fingers dirty!


Fischer took a break in Eva's room with Snoopy:

Balloons are always fun!

Presents!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Fischer met Charlotte at the pumpkin patch last week for lots of fun running around! Here's Charlotte with her choices:


Fischer liked this one:



It took 4 tries to get him to look at the camera!

He got mad that he couldn't pick up the big ones:

This is the best pic I got of the two of them together...neither one would be still long enough!

This one looks funny mommy!

After they tired of the pumpkins, we walked across the street to the lake to feed the birds:

Fischer decided he was hungry too :)

Random Fun

Play time at the park: this is Charlotte swinging, and Michael running in the background.

Fischer's favorite activity: watching monster trucks on youtube.

Sunday morning muffins with daddy:

He has always wanted his little blow-up tub...until a few weeks ago when he insisted on a big-boy bath! This first one was very slippery, so we got him an Elmo mat which he loves!

His favorite chair at Lowe's:

Helping daddy take apart the dining room table:
