Pumpkin Picking

Definately is not the same as NY when it comes to fall here in Florida. BUT we are trying to make the best of it. We found a place not too far from us that had some pumpkins and we went and got some. I do have to say they were way cheaper than we've paid in the past so that was nice. I know there's some more in depth pumpkin places but they cost too much to go to. Here's some pictures from our lil outing. We'll carve them on Friday.

CHEESE

Alligators

We have a pretty big lake right at the end of my street, and it has some Alligators in there. We took my Aunt Kay down to see them today before she left to go back to PA. They were scurring all around today. They are just babies. We haven't seen mama or daddy yet and sort of ok with that! lol

Cubscout Campout

This weekend Tim and Eric went camping with the cubscout pack. They were gone Friday to Sunday. They had a great time! Eric got to use a bb gun, play sports and shoot bow-n-arrows. They had a Halloween evening Saturday night with haunted houses, a haunted trail and so much more. They had so much fun.

Owwy's

Owwy is what Eric got tonight!! He was outside playing and riding his scooter, he bailed and got a big ol goose head. Poor kiddo. Alex came right in to tell me that Eric needed him so that was good. And of course Eric has school pictures next week Thursday! Then after I get Eric settled with ice and everything Alex sprayed bug killer spray in his eye! UGH what a day. Luckily it wasn't serious and I got it taken care of right away but wow these kiddos today!

So far so good!!!!

We are on day 4 of no bottles!!! Ivy is doing AWESOME!!!! Good thing too because both bottles are in the garbage! Very proud of my lil girl!!!!!!

Bye Bye Bottle

Finally we are saying bye bye to the bottle. I wasn't as persistant on getting rid of the bottle when Ivy turned 1. There were so many things that happened this summer...finding out we were moving, Ivy's surgery, actually moving...so I didn't really push. But yesterday was day one of having no bottle all day! She did very well especially since she had gotten shots on Wednesday and just cutting another tooth! She took a nap great and slept awesome! So, now onto day 2 of no bottles! Boy, I can't wait to make a post about no diapers! someday lol

Dr Appointments

We found a new doctor and had to take Alex and Ivy for their checkups yesterday. It was for Alex's 4 year old physical and Ivy's 15 month check-up. The new office seems pretty good so far. I was really pleased with the nursing staff and the doctor herself was awesome!

Alex got 2 shots and is 40 inches tall and 37.1 pounds. He's growing proportionally so that's great! He's about 50% all the way around but he's doing well! Ivy got 3 shots and is 30 1/2 inches and 23.94 pounds. (she's still a peanut compared to the boys at her age but that's ok!) She's doing very well too! About 60th% for weight and just under 50% for height and her head...well yup...it runs in the family! She's just under 90% for her head. Eric got a shot yesterday as well.

I don't think they should have given Ivy her shots in her legs tho. Our old pedtrician would give them in the arms when the child started walking and now I can see why. Ivy doesn't want to walk too much, her poor lil legs are sore. But Alex is complaining bout his arms too. Should make for an interesting day today.

But all in all they all look great and are doing very well!

Alex's Birthday Party

Here's some pictures from Alex's Birthday Party on 10/2/10.

Happy 4th Birthday Alex!!!

Today is Alex's 4th birthday! Hard to believe he's 4 year's old already! Seems like just yesterday he was born! We had a nice little party for him on Saturday. We had some family from both my side and Tim's side. It was very nice to still have some family be able to come for his party! He got some nice presents from everyone and is just thrilled to pieces.

Today we went to Cocoa Beach to celebrate in the sun. What a wonderful day it was! The weather was perfect! The water was amazing! We all had so much fun!!! Alex thought it was a great birthday!!!
