Halloween 2012

Cohen and Daddy getting ready to do their pumpkins!

Cohen making his Captain America pumpkin!

So proud!

My two loves!

Halloween 2012 - "scary T-Rex!"

Cohen and Mommy getting ready to go trick-or-treating!

Mommy was saying, "Okay, ready to go back to the house?" and Cohen was saying, "No...more!"

Well, we had an interesting Halloween week, that's for sure! Between Will slamming his finger in the door and nearly cutting it off, me either catching the stomach-bug of a lifetime or getting food poisoning from bad carrots, and Cohen having (yet another) unexplainable fever Wednesday-Friday, we were a sad lot! We did let him go trick-or-treating up and down our block one time on Wednesday night (because when I told him we weren't going to go he was so genuinely sad it broke my heart). He had a fun time, and then came back home for another dose of Tylenol and an early bedtime, poor baby! Needless to say, as of the writing of this blog, we're all feeling mostly better (except Will, of course...his finger is still healing).

2012 Pumpkin Patch

Thinking about petting the little bull (but he never did...).

A little scared of the goats...

...but finally worked up some courage!

We couldn't get him to look at us! This was the best one I could get...

Sweet boy!

Before we took this picture, Will took a picture of Cohen and me and Cohen was SCREAMING and crying! Our camera said the file was "corrupt" and it wouldn't upload that photo. So, now you can note the blue lollipop in Cohen's hand/mouth. It was a bribe. What can I say?

But look at that face!! He couldn't be happier! Thanks, little blue lollipop!

We had some fun at the pumpkin patch this year! It's definitely NOT the Dallas Arboretum, but it'll do for this year! Happy Fall, y'all! :)

Long overdue random cuteness!

Cohen showing off his Halloween costume and his new cold-weather hat! (9/7/12)

At the children's hospital a few weeks ago - he was looking at the fish and he looked over at me and said, "Take picture of me, Mommy." (9/21/12)

Waiting to see the doctor - poor crummy-feeling guy!

Not feeling great, but he sure was sleeping pretty well - next to me, in my bed - which pretty much meant I wasn't sleeping at all!

At the McKenna "fishing!" (9/29/12)

Driving the fire truck with daddy!

I told him he was lucky she didn't just help herself! (10/01/12)

Our latest trend - his new red cowboy boots! He wears them all over the house - including nude! I've thus far refrained from taking any nude pictures of him in his red cowboy boots, but I might could use one of those some day... (10/10/12)

At the Guadalupe County Fair fishing for a "prize!" (10/12/12)

Big ol' slushy in hand, he was telling us where he needed to go next! :)

Riding the rides, with a nervous little smile!

And this time, he had his "tough guy" look on! Silly boy!

I tell you what, being a full-time working mom has not done well for the blogging business! These pictures in this blog are clear back to the middle of September, but some of them were just too great to not share! We had a scare a few weeks ago where Cohen came home from school with a fairly high fever and it just kept going up and up. We ended up in the ER with him, but all was well - it turned out to be some sort of strain of hand, foot, and mouth virus and it "had to run its course!" Story of our lives! Anyway, we're healthy again, and have been for a few weeks, and we're constantly having fun and staying very busy! I'll try to post more often, but I can't promise anything... Stay tuned! :)

Cohen loves to flip!

Cohen taught himself how to do "ships" (flips). He is getting pretty good at doing somersaults...a-l-l over the living room floor!

Just a boy and his dog...

I love this picture - it looks like Cohen and Muppet are having a serious conversation!

So sweet!!! They were watching Will clean up and mow the backyard!

We never in a million years thought Cohen would love Muppet as much as he does. And she loves him! They're the best of friends, and they act like siblings - including Cohen telling on Muppet when she does something bad!  He loves that ol' girl (even though she's crazy!) Haha! :)

Cohen's 2nd birthday party!

Daddy bringing in Cohen's "big" present from Mommy and Daddy!

He was pretty excited about his new horse! He named him "Happy."

Cohen's 2nd birthday cake! Dinosaurs!!

Having fun at The Jumpy Place!

Getting ready to blow out some candles!

GiGi caught this one on her cell phone! Yay!

Having some tasty cake! Yum-yum!

Silly boy!

One tired guy!

Cohen had a great 2nd birthday party! We had a lot of fun with friends and family at The Jumpy Place! He's growing like a little weed - we can't believe we're already into the third year! :)
