Celebration Weekend!

For those in the know, we got some great news and have a huge weight off of our shoulders so we took the weekend to celebrate starting on Thursday night. We headed to a childhood favorite spot of Brian's - Mark's Choo Choo for wings and pasta! And yep, the name explains the restaurant...there is a train car in it!!


On Friday night we headed to Mall of America and enjoyed dinner at Rainforest Cafe. We had a prime table so Trevor enjoyed watching all of the fish in the aquarium!

Well, fish plus one eel - ewwww!


He liked to get up close and personal with the fishies!


Maybe we should get his vision checked??


So many fish, so little time!


After dinner we headed to Nickelodeon Universe for some rides! First up, a ride similar to Dumbo at Disney!


And these crazy cars that whipped around corners at ridiculous speeds. After the first corner Trevor scooted over and snuggled in for the rest of the ride.


Trevor actually requested a ride on the carousel - even on a horsey, but we found one that didn't go up and down and he loved it!


He rode the big trucks with Dada!


Weeee!


And a quick ride on Thomas! Trevor wanted to ride all by himself but he's not quite big enough!


And before leaving the mall, Trevor got his wish for a 'cook'!


On Saturday we headed to the Zoo and caught our first Dolphin show - how cool!!! Before the show Trevor and the dolphin got in some quality time. Seriously!! The dolphin kept coming over to where Trevor was!!


See, not kidding at all!


Want to play ball?


Catch!


During the show, Trevor didn't take his eyes off the dolphin!


Afterwards we checked out the new penguin exhibit!


And found some cool hiding spots!


Trevor had fun going in and out of the bamboo reed doorway.


Saturday night after putting Trevor to bed, Mommy and Daddy enjoyed some delicious steaks and nice wine. Sunday we went out for bagels and went to church before heading to the outlets to do some shopping. What a wonderful weekend!!! Randle even got in on the action by getting his own bagel. Trevor really enjoyed giving it to him and watching him eat it!

Fall Festival

Trevor's school had a Fall Festival for parents, family and friends and it just so happened that Grandma Jeanne and Papa Steve were in town so they came along! We enjoyed Trevor's favorite meal - hot dogs and BBQs before starting into the activities like cookie decorating. Not so much decorating for Trevor, more like eating the decorations!


A sucker tree....and so begins the fascination of suckers. Lucky us!


Tossing the bean bag...our little lefty :)


Showing Grandma and Papa R his classroom....


...and sticking his hand in a bucket of goo to get a prize!


He also tried out some fishing and caught some skittles!!

Hello Ladies!

Trevor had class pictures taken a few weeks ago and we just got them back - check out our little ladies man. Doesn't this picture look like its ready for a match.com profile? Blonde hair, blue eyed male ready to meet Ms. Right. Oh boy Trevor, please stop growing up so quickly!


Also, Dada uploaded a video in the previous post - check it out if you want to see crazy, sugar-high Trevor!

Halloween#2

Halloween was so much fun this year with Trevor!! He loved everything involved including decorating the house with our Fall decorations and decorating his pumpkins. We opted for the easy route this year and didn't carve the pumpkins. Instead, he got Woody....


And Buzz (did you expect anything different?!?)


On the actual night of Halloween we took to the streets and visited a few neighbors/friends but before doing so we had to get a picture on our front step:


Trevor really got into this whole event of going up to doors, saying 'trick or treat' and getting candy. Our polite boy always said thank you (when prompted) too!


Come on people, stop stopping for pictures. I've got candy to collect!


We stopped by our good friends Katie, Erik, and Mac's house. Mac wasn't too sure about giving away his candy!


When it became too much to walk, Trevor got a ride on Dada. Good thing Dada could still see around Trevor holding out his bag for candy!


When we got home Trevor proudly poured out his goods and contemplated over which piece he was going to have first:


The winner? M&Ms - he loves these things!


More candy? Trick or treat is what he's saying here!


Trevor really enjoyed dumping all of the treats out...


....looking at the empty bag:


...picking out a piece or two then putting it all back in his bag just to dump out again and start the process over!


We let Trevor stay up a little late so that he could hand out candy to other trick or treaters at our house. The baby gate you ask? Well, that's so Randle wouldn't escape every time people came to the door. It did also work well to keep Trevor contained too :)


Trevor's friend from down the street Julia came over:


And then the sugar high hit and Trevor would run around in circles then fall to the ground and say boom! This went on for quite a while - it was so fun to hear him laugh and laugh and laugh!

Fall Pics #2

We finally got the CD from the photographer we had take some family photos and as it turns out there were a few cute ones :)
