Uncle Blake's Surprise Birthday Party!

Aunt Casey had a SURPRISE birthday party for Uncle Blake to celebrate his 26th birthday a few weeks ago!  It was so much fun and Uncle Blakey was really surprised!  Aunt Casey did a great job...she is the best, most thoughtful little wife (and Auntie!)!!!

Gotcha!!!

Aunt Taytay and Isla!

Yaya and the always smiling Isla!

Crewsie getting his drink on...haha!

Playing a little basketball...

Me and Crewsie being silly...

Happy bday!!!

Boo!

Crew is all about Halloween...it's almost like Christmas to him! We decorated the inside and outside of the house a couple of weeks ago, but Crew wants to keep adding to what we've got...so we've added lots of spider webs and one 9' tall blow-up pumpkin! He also loves driving around the neighborhood looking for houses that have "spooky stuff!"

Dental check-ups...

Crewsie and I both visited the dentist this morning. This is his third visit to the dentist, but his first actual full cleaning. The dental hygienist let Crew help clean my teeth, so I think this made him very comfortable when it was his turn! I was worried he would start squirming when she polished his teeth, but he just sat there with his little sun glasses on! And he had no cavities and dentist said his teeth look great. Such a good big boy :)

Kiddie Party...

Crewsie went to one of his friends 3rd birthday party a few weeks ago!  A fun time was had by all the little munchkins!

Boo!!!

We were at the dollar store the other day and in the Halloween aisle he spotted this Jason mask. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted it was the toy he wanted! He of course has no idea who Jason is or how funny it was that he was driving around in my back seat with it on! I'm sure anyone that saw him thought I was nuts! Oh, and if you look close you can see his little smirk through the mask...what a turkey!

Zac Brown Band...

Saturday night we headed out for dinner and a concert with my family! (Crewsie spent the night with Grammy!) We all met for dinner at Papa Joe's and then headed to Blossom to see the Zac Brown Band! Greg, me, mom and dad had great seats right in the center of the pavillion and Blake, Case, Tay, and Joe were in "the pit"....which means they were about 10 feet from Zac (thats how I got the one close up pic)! It was fanastic...one if the best concerts we have all ever seen! Thanks so much Mom and Dad!

Cedar Point!

A couple of Sundays ago we decided to head up to Cedar Point for the day. It was a perfect day to visit an amusement park...cool, partly cloudy, and NO CROWDS!!! Crew had been asking to visit "Dinosaur Island" (a new exhibit within the park actually called "Dinosaurs Alive!") all summer because we would always see it from the boat when we were sailing. Greggy and I said we would have felt like failures if we didn't make the trip for him...and even though we waited until the end of summer, we finally made it! And guess what...once we got there he didn't even want to visit the dinosaurs because all he wanted to do was ride the rides!!!! Oh well!!!

Our first ride was the sky ride above the park...he thought he was on a roller coaster :) We got there at 11:45 a.m. and left at 6:00 p.m.....and we were all exhausted!

He ended up weighing 38 lbs., which is exactly what he weighs here at home...so their scales are right! They have to guess you within 3 lbs. and of course the girl guessed him at 35 lbs....we lost this one....but we got them back when we had them guess Daddy's weight! hahaha! The girl guessed Daddy at 264 lbs.! bahahaha! Waaaaay off!!!

Below we were on the antique cars...

Some of the rides Crew had to be with a parent so Daddy had to ride all the rides with Crewsie since Momma is preggo....and Daddy barely fit!

There are four main areas for little ones. We were surprised at how many rides there were for kids....tons and tons and tons of them!

The frog hopper ride was my favorite one to watch! I love the pic below...it's so cute that two little strangers can have so much fun together!

Front car!!!!

Top Thrill Dragster...this roller coaster is at a 90 degree angle and looked crazy!

One of the few rides I was able to go on and of course I got dizzy! haha! I remember when I could ride roller coasters all day and it never bothered me...gone are those days!

Exhausted and not happy that we were leaving the park, but refused to put down his GIGANTIC elephant ear! Poor thing was out like a light 30 seconds after we got in the car...but don't let this face fool you because he had a blast!
