Okay... last one for the night

Pumpkin hunting (I know, these are out of order....)

Walking through the maze with dad!

We found the golden nugget!

I'm just too cool for this big o'le tire!

Remember Halloween?

You know... that Holiday that was BEFORE Thanksgiving... here a few photos to prove that we did in fact celebrate the day:

Jaden just LOVES the Bumblebee Transformer! We (you know I mean Jaden) still wears that mask around the house - my little superhero!

With cousin John...

Out on the prowl for goodies...

On the way home from the apple farm, we decided to swing down to St. Kate's to see a few things around campus... I'm happy to report that the white squirrels that run around campus are still present - here's a photo to prove it:

Here's a nice picture of me and Jaden in one of the flower beds on campus - I'm sure that by standing in the middle of the flowers, we were technically doing something "illegal".

Boy, I am on a roll now... I guess I better keep adding pics!

A day out with Papa and Grandma

One sunny afternoon, I was restless (not to mention the little man) we decided to run to Stillwater to an apple farm and see what kind of trouble we could get ourselves into - I think the highlight of the day was the pony ride with Grandma!

Tiny Dancer?

This fall, Jaden was invited to "bring your friend to dance class week" at Northland School of Dance... the same dance place I danced at so many years ago! We tried a few classes, Jaden had fun, but I think we are going to wait until next year to continue...Jaden had fun being the only boy in class... he's 3, and already a charmer!

McD's... we came, we saw, we concurred...

Here are a few pics from Jaden's birthday party at Micky D's... Jaden had a TON of fun playing with his friends and cousins! Of course, now that I am actually looking for photos, I can't find them all... they must be on another disc!

Jaden Turns 3... where is my baby?

It seems like only yesterday, that we stayed up late, holding him in our arms, praying that he would sleep through the night - now I treasure the hugs and kisses that are given so freely - and even though I know that he is growing up... it's hard to see that my baby is gone - he's turned into a little boy - all boy, little boy!

A friend from work, Linda came to our home to take Jaden's 3 year old portraits - these a just a couple of the WONDERFUL shots that Linda captured! You have to check out her site for other wonderful work that she does.

On Jaden's actual 1st birthday (2006)- first thing before out of bed. I remember making a point of greeting Jaden with the camera that day... he had so many pictures taken of him on the date of his actual birth, that I wanted a few from exactly a year later.
