Monkey Business

Happy Halloween! We took our little monkey to Grandma and Papa Bettorf's, Papi & Mimi's, and then to Nina's to trick or treat. Jayden had a great night and got lots of fun toys and treats.

Carved Pumpkins

Dada carved our pumkins tonight and Jayden loved them all lit up. Dada even carved his name in one of them.

Pumpkin Fun

Tonight we finally got around to cleaning out our pumpkins we got at the pumpkin farm. Jayden wanted to help the entire time and did a great job!

Below, Jayden checks one last time to see if there is anymore stuff in the pumpkin.

Then, of course he had to look to make sure too.

Bruce Concrete Annual Family Picnic

Today was the annual family picnic for Daddy's work. Great food, hayrides, horse and pony rides, a bouncy house, and much more! It was very very cold but we all had a great time.

Jayden was fascinated with these deer statues.

Jayden enjoyed the view from up above.

Mama and Jayden found a great spot (not too close) to enjoy some Cheerios and watch Daddy compete in the shooting competition.

Family Trip to the Pumpkin Farm

Today we went to the Pumpkin Farm for the first time. The entire family joined us for the outing - Mimi, Papi, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Tara, Aunt Ashley and cousin Jacob. It was a real good time but surprisingly hot for October.

Saturday with Mama

Dada had to work for most of today so Mimi and Mama took Jayden to Brooke's soccer game. Nina & Aunt Bev went to the game too. Then Mama and Jayden went home and watched the Gamecocks beat Kentucky! Go Cocks!!

Jayden is walking everywhere. Here are a few pictures of him running around the house. They were taken while Mama & Jayden were enjoying the football game so of course we had to wear our new Gamecocks romper personally made by one of our SC friends. Thank you Kalen!!

Driving for the First Time

Papi & Mimi rented a convertible this weekend and brought it over today to let Jayden drive. Mama is not at all ready for this yet!

Trip to the Park with Mama

Hunting season has started so Dada was out of town for the weekend so today Mama took Jayden down the street to the park.

Hunting Season 2008 is Here!

Since hunting season started this weekend and Dada is out of town, Mimi & Papi stopped by to play for awhile tonight. Aunt Tara came over and had a sleepover with us later in the evening.

Trip to the Zoo

Today was Jayden's first trip to the zoo. Mama, Dada & Jayden had a good time!

Gathering for Great Uncle Bill

Tonight Nina grilled out and all of the extended family over for Jayden's Great Uncle Bill who is visiting from California. It was great to get to see him and Jayden had fun getting lots of attention and playing in Nina's yard.

Papi introduced him to this cute little girl in Nina's landscaping. We think Jayden had a crush!

Jayden is One!

Mama took Jayden this morning to get his pictures taken. Here are a few of them.
