Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Leo was Bob the Builder this year and a pretty good one if you ask me. He owned trick or tricking. When he was done he came home and stayed on the porch with me. He yelled "KIDS! Come get candy!" Then after they came and went he would stand in front of me and say trick or treat and pick some candy. Such a fun kid. Ronnie was Rambo at the trunk or treat on Friday night ;) He had a great mullet. 

Leo

 Leo is so hilarious. The end. ;)

Anything for chicken

On Sunday we were over my parents house for dinner. My mom had some chicken leftover (she made chicken pot pie ...yum!) and told Ronnie to give it to Piper. So Ronnie was having Piper do tricks for the chicken and Leo said he wanted a piece (which we all thought he would give to the dog of course) but he took it for himself! Then Leo proceeded to do tricks with Piper for the chicken. It was hilarious. I don't think Piper anticipated having to share her treats with Leo (since he pretty much takes everything else ;))

Other cute things....

Ronnie got me flowers one night and Leo said, "That's so nice!" and then took the flowers to smell them.

Went to the zoo and another family was taking pictures at the otters....of course Leo wanted in on the action. 

Some guys were holding the door for Leo and I at Chick-fil-a and I said, "Thanks guys." and Leo repeated, "Thanks guys!" They thought it was hilarious. When I was ordering the food, Leo repeated everything I said to the cashier. Then of course when we were "done" with our lunch he wanted "icemean!"

We went to the library and afterwards we were running errands and Leo says, "library!" I told him we already went. He replies, "Silly goose!"

He says the funniest things! I wish I was better at recording them! 

Beach with the Grandparents

Ronnie's parents came for a few days. The first day we took them to the beach to enjoy the sun. Of course Leo loves the beach so he happily went ;) He keeps saying, "Let's go beach!" I had to take him in the hall during our church meeting on Sunday because he kept saying it very loud!

Another beautiful day at the beach!

Mud Bog

Ronnie took Leo for a little Father/son outing last Saturday to the Mud Bog in NC (and he actually took pictures/videos and they're all of Leo ;)). Leo was a little nervous about the mud flinging but loved the trucks. It was nice for the guys to get out and also for mom to get a little break!

(Aunt April would be pleased....a variety of ear wear was used.)

TWO!

I can't believe it but my little baby is 2!

About Leo:

His common phrases are: "I'm stuck", "I can't reach _____", "Excuse me", "Ma! Come, sit"

 Longest phrase to date is "No Pi! That's my cookie!"

He really is getting better at talking and repeating what you say.

He really likes combines and other tractors, trucks and cars. He likes to look through his books and find the combine. "Where's combine?"

He loves "icemeam". 

He likes to chase Piper around. The poor dog. 

He is a fun and silly little boy and quite dramatic ;) And of course mischievous!

We're still looking for a sibling for Leo!

Throw Back to June

On Ronnie's birthday back in June, we went to one of his client's farms and Ronnie got to drive a combine while we rode along. Ronnie used to drive a combine for his uncle in Kansas when he was a teenager. So it was fun for him to get back in one. Leo was also in heaven, he still talks about it. He says, "daddy combine, daddy combine" and he likes to find the combine in all his tractor books. So since his birthday is coming up, I thought this would be a good hint for what we got him this year ;)
