Gma's Surprise Party!

We had so much fun at Gma's Surprise Party.  It was so funny to see how surprised she was when she walked in to the restaurant!  For all of the wonderful things that G'ma does for all of us, it was so nice to see her have a special day that she deserved.  We love you, G'ma!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday!  I'm so grateful that I got to celebrate with my wonderful family.  I especially had so much fun with all of my cousins who were home from college.  Also, a special thanks to Aunt Anne for my Thanksgiving outfit!

My First Carousel Ride

I had so much fun riding on the carousel!  If you would like to see, just watch the video below.

Happy Birthday Pa!

I know that I look like a ghost in this picture because of the flash, but Mommy couldn't resist.  I was actually looking at the camera AND smiling!  I had so much fun going out for dinner to celebrate Pa's birthday.  The best part of the night was seeing the "choo choo" when we left the restaurant.  Move over rocks, "choo choos" are my latest fascination!

With my favorite person, my "Pa".

Hi, this is Matthew's Mommy (don't worry Matthew gave me permission to write on here).  I wanted to share a cute story with you about Matthew and his "Pa".  From the time Matthew was born, his Grandfather has always said, "I love you" to Matthew and also used the signs for the phrase.  Well on October 7th, Matthew said "I love you" for the first time.  Guess who he said it to?.....Pa!  That's right, he walked right up to Pa and said "I love you".  It's incredible to witness the special bond between Matthew and his Pa, although it isn't surprising at all. 

Happy Halloween!

Mommy took me to New York City to visit my friends, Rylee and Hunter, to celebrate my second Halloween.  I had so much fun dressing like Bob the Builder with my construction hat and tool belt.  Rylee was a great Minnie Mouse, and Hunter was a cute tiger.  I hope that I can celebrate Halloween with my friends every year!

Pupple Picking

Mommy and G'ma took me pumpkin (or pupple as I like to say) picking.  The lady that worked there showed me all of the different pumpkins. I had so much fun looking at (and sitting on) the pumpkins until I found the one that I liked most.  The best part was that I got to take it home with me.

Testing them all out.

I finally found the pupple that I wanted to keep.

Fun with MaMoo

I had so much fun playing with MaMoo today.  For those of you who don't know MaMoo, she is my great Grandmother.  I like to call her MaMoo though.  We had so much fun playing with rocks (that's no surprise, for those of you who know me!).  We also watched the ducks swim in the pond.  Mommy taught me a really good "quack quack" impersonation.  I can't wait to visit MaMoo again soon.

Still counting.
