The Hills - lots of pictures!

We had a fun filled fabulous weekend! I will just tell the stories in pictures as we go.....


Justin had a ENT appointment on Thursday. He has to get tubes AGAIN :( October 14th. They might take out his adenoids while they are in there. If they do that, it is a 2-5 day recovery, so he'll still be good to go for the wedding!

What do you do to entertain a 2 year old during a 2 fricken hour appt? Have a photo shoot and show him each picture after you take it :)















































































Playing hockey with his "goalie"!













Friday night I took Justin to the Metamora vs. East Peoria football game. We had to park almost a mile away, the line to get in was over 300 people long (one old lady selling tickets - it was rideculous!) because it was hyped up to be a great game - both teams undefeated. Metamora won 50-0. We left when the 3rd string made their appearance in the 3rd quarter!







This was the visitors side. There were SO many people there!













Saturday morning we got up and went to breakfast with the Gibson Family (Rob's old boss - they have a son 6 months older than Justin). After breakfast we went to Tanners Orchard...what a fun time! I loved it there! Thanks Gibsons; we'll have to get together sometime soon!


Justin on his pony - his name was Ransom (thought you'd like that Mom!!)





On the way out to the pumpkin patch! It was a covered wagon pulled by a tractor - Justin liked it!













Sitting on a pumpkin :) When we got out there he said "I do potty" - aka he needs a bathroom. So I just pulled down his pants and told him to go...he looked at me confused, but then he went. He then wanted to pick up the pumpkin he peed on, but I distracted him away from that one :)
BTW - we were the only ones out there; nobody else was in sight!







Looking for the perfect pumpkin.......













....and this is what he picked :) It's the charlie brown tree of pumpkins. He picked it up himself - it is 1/2 green (since turned mostly orange) and would not let it go. We had planned to get 3 and Gibson's get 2 since they were 5 for $20, but he had to have this one, so for $5 it was not worth making him cry :) He still likes to go out on the front porch and hold his pumpkin!







After Tanners we went home and changed and were off to St. Louis (yes, busy day!) for the Cardinals game. We had great seats, it was perfect weather, there were 4 home runs (aka fireworks!) and we had zero traffic on the way out - perfect night!

Here is Justin taking in the sights as soon as we sat down.





I love this picture :) I might make it a 5x7 for his room.













Daddy and Justin!














Mommy and Justin - I bribed him to smile by promising him ice cream :)












Justin's 2nd MLB game (3rd if you count the Tigers/Cubs when I was 8 months pregnant!)














Too tired to stand and play trains!
