Waving and Talking

I was thrilled to see myself on camera for the first time...Can you tell?! Hehe

Magnets and a Baking Sheet

Mommy created an awesome magnet board in my room
using a baking sheet, wood crafts, and magnets

Daddy screwed the baking sheet into the wall and then
Mommy hot glued magnets to the backs of wood crafts
I love anything having to do with trucks, machines, and cars,
so I was thrilled when she chose these!

Mommy got the idea off an awesome website called Pinterest.
If you haven't joined -you should!
My life has gotten even better since my Mommy joined
this virtual pin board.

My favorite!!!

Power Equipment Store

Sooooo excited to go with Daddy to the  power equipment store!

Checkin out the goods

Tried to convince Daddy to buy some new Stihl equipment
He said no.

Daddy has been working alot of over time this week so I was thrilled when he came

 home early today and announced he was taking me with him to the Power Equipment store. 

I love hanging out with Mommy, but I really needed to be around some testosterone!

Painting Pumpkins

Carving is messy and involves knives so Mommy decided
I should paint my pumpkin instead

Painting with my fingers is more fun

Showing Daddy my painting skills

TaDa! My painted pumpkin!

The Farm

Ready to visit The Farm in Snohomish
 for some Pumpkin Picking time!

Helping Daddy push the wheelbarrow

I like this idea better...

Found my Special Pumpkin on my own!

I like having a different pumpkin than everyone else!

It's comfy in here!

I'm a big boy now!
Mommy wore the same clothes as last year so she could recreate
our picture at the Pumpkin Patch last fall
Look below to see my baby picture!

I'm such a baby in this picture.

Ready to leave the Pumpkin Patch and head to
the other activities on The Farm

The Biggest, Best Sensory Bin EVER!!!
Call it a big barn of corn if you'd like. 

Playing in the barn of hay with Daddy!

Getting "Hayed" like crazy. I was no match against Daddy!

Told Daddy I wanted to jump off the bales of hay like the big boys

Not only did I get to jump off the bales of hay,
but Daddy threw me up in the air too!
The other boys didn't get to do that. I am pretty lucky!

Sharing some giggles with Daddy

The Farm has sheep to pet! I decided to give one a hug instead

Off on our adventure to the 12 acre Corn Maze

Saw the Space Needle on our mission

and we crossed a HUGE bridge  

We completed the Corn Maze thanks to Daddy's great navigational skills
The Farm is a Hoffman family tradition
Looking forward to going again next fall!!
Signing out -Peace!

Water Play

Mommy taking me over to the water park

This water park was sneaky...it sprayed
water up from the ground when I wasn't looking

My 'alarmed' look after I was sprayed in the face

Decided playing at the playground was more fun...

Joined my friend Jolee, making music together
What a fun day!

You are probably thinking....water play and shorts in October?! What's my Mommy thinking?! These pictures were actually taken in September when we had that hot spell. My days have been quite busy lately so I haven't had much time to upload photos and blog. Hopefully will get back on track soon!

Puyallup Fair

This goat had such funny ears. I couldn't stop laughing.

Tried to give it a kiss. It was so cute.

I told Daddy I was tired of looking at horse ass.
They all look the same....see?!

Learned how to pet little animals gently

Hugged my first sheep!

Mommy laughed out loud when she saw this,
so I had to post it.

This cow and I had a staring contest. No joke.
I don't know cow language, but it kept mooing like crazy at me

On my way home from the fair
I fell fast asleep while looking at my farm animal book.
The Puyallup fair was awesome and I can't wait to go again!
