Pumpkin Walk

We took Gavin to the annual Syracuse pumpkin walk last week. I wish I could say he loved it and we created fun family memories, but it was really a disaster! We were one of "those" parents who couldn't control their bratty kid. :) It's kind of funny because Gav is usually really shy and clingy around people he doesn't know, so we just expected him to sit in his stroller and enjoy the ride. Haha! Here are a few quick pictures we took when we weren't chasing after Gavin.

Over the river and through the woods... to Grandma Barbara's house we go!

Gav was nice enough to let his frog have a ride too.








































































What a goof ball!

































Candee made this darling cake.















Birthday Boy!












Who's more excited Crew or Kayson?

















Not a big fan of cake.

























Grandpa gave all the boys a pumpkin to take home.
























































Thanks Grandpa!

She's back!

Island Park

We went to Island Park with Cody's family in July. What a beautiful place! We were surrounded by mountains and wild flowers. The little boys had a great time exploring, playing in the dirt and water, and going on four wheeler rides. It was great to get away and spend time together. It's kind of sad looking at these pictures again because it makes me miss summer!

The four wheeler ride put all the little ones to sleep!

Our trip to NYC

Cody had some business in New York for work and I tagged along for the trip . You can't beat free air fare, food, and hotel rooms, right? I've wanted to go to New York for FOREVER! Thanks so much to Barbara for watching our little bubba while we were gone! We had a blast and I think New York is something everyone should see at least once. We walked our feet off, ate lots of yummy food, and tried to see as much stuff as possible.


Times Square. You better really not mind your personal bubble space being invaded in this place.
























We saw two musicals, the Lion King and Rock of Ages. Can you guess who picked what?




Lots of fun shopping on 5th Ave.




















We rode the subway a lot which always proved to be an interesting ride full of crazy characters.






Little Italy.





















We went shopping on Canal St/ China town where you can bargain for knock offs.







Grand Central Station
















Top of the Rock












NBC studios. Lady Gaga performed on the Today Show while we were there.













Metropolitan Museum of Art. Cool building. I love all the architecture and modern design in New York.











Crazy cabs!













My dream apartment if I lived in New York.

























Central Park. We got to see A LOT of this because we got lost trying to find the Met. :)
