Ever since we moved to Ohio, every Saturday morning we head down to Sam's office (they have a ton of property, and a mile long path that loops around a huge grass field) to let our dogs run around and we'll walk the loop a few times. It's my favorite time of the week, and I wish it wasn't starting to get so cold because I have a feeling our fun Saturday morning's outside are getting numbered.
Maizie girl is getting pretty close to walking...


T likes to pretend that the stroller is a train (like the Polar Express) and I'm the conductor. We go through the whole spiel of "why the polar express of course!" and "suit yourself!" "Wait the little boy wants to get on the train! I must stop the train! Maizie stop the train!" ha ha ha. He loves it. (he likes to do this at the grocery store too) Here he is sitting in his seat, waiting to give me (the conductor) his ticket. It's his favorite game. He makes train tickets all day long while we're at home. Tickets for everyone. (every time he hands Maizie her tickets, he says "don't eat them Maizie, you need them to get on the train!") ha.


my pretty baby.


Saturday night Sam & I went to a fancy Wine Gala. ha ha. Yes you read right. Pretty positive we were in the only ones in the room with empty wine glasses, but we still had a ton of fun. His work needed some representatives to go and we're always up for going on dates with no kids, especially ones with free dinners. haha. It was fun to dress up, and yes I'm wearing heels, a very rare occasion (first occasion?!) Sam was wearing pretend heels. haha. Sorry babe. Thanks to our babysitter who took a picture of us on our way out the door and said it was like Prom. haha


Cheers!!


It was actually pretty cool. There was a silent auction with all kinds of great stuff from vacation packages to kids books and autographed things. We bid on some things (a sweet rug, some steak knifes and a inside grill, a pretty necklace, a beach bag stuffed with beach trip stuff, and 5 large pizzas to our favorite delivery pizza here) We got outbid everything (we went up on a few things but still got outbid) except for the pizza!! Now we have 5 large pizzas to use so if you come visit us, we'll have a pizza party! After dinner and during the silent auction there was a live wine auction. It was so funny! I'd never been to an auction before, the auctioneer had the crazy fast voice going and everything. It was great. Oh and these wines were going for thousands of dollars, it was unbelievable. haha. It was a fun fun night, we had a lot of good laughs.

On a totally different note, on Sunday the Primary met in the Chapel to practice for our primary program coming up. After church, I swung by nursery to pick T up and took him back to the chapel to gather my things. Apparently I didn't pass down my fear of speaking to this kid. He ran right up to the mic, stayed there talking for a while and had a major, major meltdown when I told him it was time to head out (he's usually running out to the car..ha) I snapped a picture of him with my phone because he did look pretty darn cute up there. (is that okay? to take pictures in the chapel? I'm not sure...) anyway, he's a real natural.


T loves it when the dogs hang out in his room. He was pretty stoked that Ollie was letting him be his foot stool this morning. haha. Cute huh? Ollie's a good sport.
