Thanksgiving and Halloween

Okay, so I know I'm one of the worst Bloggers in the world. But here's a quick recap.
Cameron's parents came to visit for Thanksgiving and we got some darling "18 month old" pictures taken of Kashton. Sorry I couldn't make them any bigger.




His Grandma took him to see Santa at the mall. He wasn't even that scared of him.


Peanut Butter and Jelly Monster



We went to Silver Dollar City and rode some rides.



Look at that sweet face, all bundled up tight.

We went up to Aunt Kay's and Uncle Mike's house in Springfield for Thanksgiving Dinner. This was in the backyard.

He LOVED the grand piano....and so did Mommy and Daddy!!!



Ron and Elaine (Cam's parents) came to see us perform on the Showboat. (I'll post some pictures of our show later)

We went to the Butterfly Palace.


Out to eat at Danna BBQ

My favorite picture


We went to the Branson Zoo and fed the llama and deer.



Cool Dude!!!

I have red hair now.

Me and Kelly at our work's Chili Party. How we kick off the fall season.

Halloween at Bob's Halloween party. Kashton and Parker. Kashton was Superman (or baby) and Parker was Jack Jack!

Halloween night. He got the idea very quickly, however we're "those one parents" who are really mean and don't let their kids have candy. Kashton still hasn't really had any candy but we sure did enjoy it. :)

And that's all folks!!!

Our Trip to Denver

The first of October, we took some time off work (actually, Cam had vacation days) and we made a little trip to Denver, Colorado to visit our friends that we haven't seen in a while. We had SO much fun visiting with them all. We took SO many pictures and Eric and Sariah were so nice to send us home with a whole bunch of pictures as well. I couldn't put all of the pictures on here....you might get bored looking at 100 pictures of us in Denver. :) However, here are just some of my favorites.
We went to Eldorado Springs and went hiking and played in the water.




I LOVE this picture. He threw a rock into the water and I caught him clapping and SO excited about the splash he made.

He kept picking up the rocks and putting them in his mouth. YUCK!!!


We had so much fun with Joshua and his awesome family. It was so good to see him and spend some time with him. This is Eric, Joshua, my baby boy, and my big boy Cameron.
Kashton had so much fun with Sariah. He loves her.
Cool Dude!!!
Uncle Eric and Aunt Sariah took Kashton "Fall Clothing" shopping and spoiled him ROTTEN. Thank you so much you guys. We love you and had so much fun.
We went to the Denver Aquarium and Kashton absolutely loved it. This is him and Cameron petting the sting rays.
All wet!
Petting more fish. I've never been to an aquarium where it's okay to touch the fish. It was kinda cool.


Sadly, we had a tragedy and Cameron lost his head.

Kashton was NOT amused.
Eric petting the fish. SLIMY!!!


This lady was cleaning a huge tank and Kashton was completely fascinated with her. We couldn't pull him away. He kept waving and pointing at her.

Playing Eric's piano. He takes after his daddy.
We also went to Estes Park and that was the most beautiful place that I've been to in a long time. Thanks so much for taking us there Eric and Sariah. We ate outside at this Italian restaurant.

Little Flirt!!!

Playing on the slides with Sariah.

It was Elk season and they were everywhere.

At Estes Park
Thanks so much Josh, Eric, and Sariah. That was the best vacation we've had in a LONG time. We love you!!!!

The Rest of Our Summer Together!!!!

We tried really hard to enjoy the last bit of our summer. Kashton watched mommy working in her herb garden so much, it was his favorite place to go and dig in the dirt too. He always had the spade in his hand.Oh, I will definitely miss those wrinkles. Cute little bum!!!!


He loved to play in his little sprinkler that Steve and Kelly gave him for his birthday!!!
We had a few days off from work at the first of September, so we took a trip up to Kansas City with our friends Tim and Gretchen. We had so much fun visiting the zoo.
Cameron (the animal lover) kept feeding all the animals Cheerios. Kashton was so sweet to share his snack with all the animals.


Our little duck!! He tries so hard to make the noise like a duck. He says "Whaa, Whaa, Whaa."
Trying so hard to be a big boy and eat his pancakes. He's so sweet.
We went to this FANTASTIC restaurant called Raglan Road. It is an Irish Pub and they had a live band playing authentic Irish tunes and even an Irish dancer got on the table and did a little jig. It was great and the food was wonderful.
While we were in Kansas City, our sweet little Macy Elizabeth was born. We were so happy to finally welcome her to the world. Congratulations Mark and Kelly.

And THIS little stinker wont ever stay out of the Lazy Susan. Everytime I don't know where he is, I know I will always find him in this exact position. Cute little stink bug!!!

I'm Alive!!!

Hi Friends!!!! Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while. I've used almost all of my spare time remodeling my master bathroom, reading some fabulous books (Breaking Dawn anyone??), and enjoying the last bit of warm weather with my son. We've been going to the park and taking walks and having so much fun together. I LOVE this age that he's at. He's talking so much and has the funniest personality on him. Kashton just turned 17 months and he is so much fun. I just love playing with him almost every chance I get.

We are currently in Denver Colorado visiting some friends. We just took a few days off of work and we drove here in one night while Kashton slept. We're here just for three days and then we'll head back to Branson where we begin rehearsing for our Christmas show.

Just wanted you all to know that we're safe and doing great. I have some FABULOUS pictures that I'll post once we get home. We love you all and I'll update more later.
