new boots

Today we decided that Bay needed a pair of snow boots. I have been having a heck of a time trying to find some that are in his size. Almost every store I have looked for them at has been sold out. Lucky us, we found a great pair for bay at REI. Here is a video of him taking his first steps in his new kicks. Notice how he stomps when he gets onto the wooden floor its very funny.

Saturday in Bend

Today was another busy day for our family. It was nice to sleep in a bit and have a big breakfast at the hotel to start out our day. After breakfast we went to the shops down at the old mill and just spent the day looking around, picking some things up, having lunch at Pastini's ( one of our favorite restaurants), and chasing Bay around the outdoor mall. Here are some pictures from our day.
These are pictures of the first fire station in bend. If my memory serves me right it was built in 1927. Its not a working station anymore but a restaurant. It would have been even more neat if they would have kept it a station but it was neat none the less.
This is a shot of bay in his new boots. It was so funny to watch him walk in them. He seemed to really like walking around in them.


Look closely at these pictures of Bay and notice his static hair, it was soooo funny! I was laughing so hard every time he walked by the puffy coats at REI.

old town pizza

We are on a short visit to Bend a sort of "weekend getaway" to escape the daily grind. We got in later in the evening and checked into our room and spent some time just walking around downtown looking in shops and galleries before going to dinner. We were recommended to go to Old Town Pizza which was very very good. After dinner we just went back to our hotel and went to bed so we were rested for the next day of adventures.

Random pictures

I was looking over my photos and thought that these were just worth sharing. the first photo is how bay fell asleep the other night. It was so funny to see the death grip on the measuring tape.
Whiskers like to sleep next to warm bodies and bay definitely qualifies. I thought it was cute to see the two of them snuggling together.
Lastly the final one is just cute of him in his Halloween shirt and socks. I just loved how it was candid.

Halloween

As mentioned earlier we had a very busy Halloween holiday. Our day began with tailgating before the BSU game (only for a short 10-20 mins), then we went to the game, after which we got ready and dressed up to trick or treat with BAY before having dinner. We just trick or treated at the mall for a bit before having dinner at old Chicago. We decided to do a family theme this year for Halloween. Jeff was a great sport and dressed up. We were the animals from Australia. Jeff was a crocodile, I was a Koala and Bay was a Kangaroo. Here are some pictures of all of us dressed up.

BSU game

Halloween was a very busy holiday for us this year. Jeff's dad got us all tickets for the BSU game vs. San Jose State. We had great seats right down near the field, and it gave us an excuse to dress up in orange for the day which was so appropriate as it was Halloween after all. The game was fun, BSU never seems to disappoint these last few years/ I just hope that they get the national attention that they deserve for how well they play the game of football. Here are some pictures from the land of the blue (smurf) turf!

funny little boy

The other night after Bay finished eating a cookie he was being really funny and giggling really hard. I am not sure what he I was doing that was making him laugh so hard but I decided to take a movie of it because it was so funny. Hopefully it will make you smile or laugh as much as we did.

bird bath splashes

Awhile back we went to Oregon to visit my family. While we were visiting my brother and his wife Bay discovered a bird bath in their back yard. He thought it was great to play with and splash in. Take a look, it is pretty funny.

playing with whiskers

Bay has been playing with Whiskers much more lately. Bay thinks that it is so funny that the cat will chase him. Whiskers is chasing after a soft measuring tape that Bay is holding. I figured this movie was good for a laugh.
