I hope they call me on a mission

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday was one of those fall days that make you love Washington. We decided to take advantage of it by going to the pumpkin patch with some of Scottie's cousins.













There were heaps and heaps of beautiful pumpkins. Here is Scottie with his cousin Eric. They are birthday buddies, both born on October 27th, just 4 years apart.









There was lots of room to run around and the kids loved seeing the tractors pulling around riders in the fields.











Cade and Scottie.















Scottie in the corn fields.

















Happy Fall everybody.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens... Since Scottie will be turning two this month I thought I would post a little about the boy. These are a few of his favorite things.


He Loves riding bikes. We bought him a little trike but his favorite is this pink and purple number we borrowed from the Schmidts. I think because it is easiest for him to pedal. He can really cruise these days.






He loves his Grandmas and Grandpas. This summer he got to live a few weeks with both his Anderson grandparents and Magelsen ones and he adores all of them. Here is a cute one of he and Grandpa Jim.











In Shanghai, he developed an obsession for all sorts of vehicles. Here he is with one of his favorites a "lo-lo-lo-lo" (motorcycle), I hope he never learns to say that the correct way.









He loves to go for a ride in the "har".














The hottub is a favorite past time. Here he is with his buddy Anza and his cousin Eli in the background.










Grandma Colleen's house has a trampoline, can life get much better than that?












Hours each day are spent lining up his "hars" and his "choo choo rains." Very very fun.












Yummy, fall apples, string cheese, bread, popsicles, you know, the basics.














With all of this and Mommy and Daddy, life is pretty dang good huh guys?

Mariners Game

We had a double date with Grandma Dorothy and Bill last Friday. They are a fun double date. They are big Mariners fans and they adore Scottie. Plus, Grandma shared her blanket with me. Thanks Aunt Chris for the awesome tickets.



Scottie and Mommy in a rare non-red eye shot. We had tickets right behind home plate so Scottie loved saying hi to Ichiro and other Mariners as they came up to bat. He also loved it when balls would fly back into the net and seem like they would hit us.







Scottie and Daddy cheering on the Mariners, the highlight was they won! Lots of homeruns = fun game.










Grandma and Bill looking fine. Thanks for the fun Grandma. These are the perks of living in Seattle close to family.
