Swim at the Y

Playing on his car this eveing

Today Oliver played with his friends at Jans. Daddy took Oliver to Jans and they had fun in the morning. After Jans house Mommy and Oliver went to the Y to go swimming. We had so much fun! Oliver is getting really good at kicking, but it was a little too cold to stand on the side and jump in! We had fun seeing Miss Meaghan and giving her a nice pool hug! Oliver even remembered to give her a kiss at the end of the class! Fun! Now he is playing and getting ready to go lay in his big boy bed and have sweet dreams.

A Friend is Born

Baby Boy Cunningham
He has such a sweet little face!

Eileen had a her baby boy last night a little after 11:00! We are so excited to meet Baby Cunningham (they haven't decided on a name yet)! He is beautiful and Mommy can't wait to hold him! Yay for new babies!!!! Oliver asked if he could see him tonite, I told him not yet!!!!

Oliver had a good day. He came and helped Mommy in her classroom after Jan's house. He pretty much gets into everything- but he is in training. We came home, ate dinner together and now are going to go to sleep. We can't wait to see if Daddy is bringing home any lobsters tonite after his diving excursion!

Oliver had a good day! Mommy and Oliver went on an adventure this morning trying to get to Encinitas. There must have been an accident blocking all the lanes to Del Dios- so after a million trillion traffic lights and about 45 minutes- we finally got to Jan's house. He had a good day and Daddy picked him up since its Mommy's late day.

The boys went to Rico's Taco shop and then to the Y for swim lessons. We haven't been in awhile- so Miss Meghan was so happy to see him! Oliver did everything except go under. Daddy got to experience showering and dressing with Oliver after swim- fun, fun!!! (Danielle, Eileen, Mommy, and Oliver had it down!!!) After they came home and played, watched Sesame Street, and hid under a blanket from Mommy when she came home.

Oliver went to sleep quickly and just a few moments ago he fell out of bed- sleepily he picked himself up and went right back to sleep!

Full Moon and Bob Marley

Full Moon around 4:50 in the evening.

Happy Dancers

Oliver had a good evening. He ate dinner with Mommy and Daddy. He was using his new ghost fan to cool off his egg roll at dinner (thanks Grammie!). Then he told us he wanted to dance! Daddy said to what and Oliver said, "Bob Marley." So Mommy took this wonderful picture of Oliver dancing with Daddy to Bob Marley. Then we all walked up to the water tower to view the full moon, the stars, the planet Venus, and Lake Hodges. It was great! Oliver came back got ready for bed and fell asleep quickly. Nice night with family, Bob, and the moon.

Family Sunday

To Start the November Blog, Mommy decided to use old pictures from the notorious turkey incident at the Del Mar Fair. Oliver and Danielle STILL talk about this and often at random times- there Moms report! This Thanksgiving shall be very, very interesting!

Danielle in shock, Oliver worried

Oliver had a wonderful Sunday. He spent the day hanging around the house. Helping Daddy outside and Mommy inside! Oliver got to go to the local nursery with Daddy in Bhuta's truck. They drove past Mommy and Ranger running, it was the cutest thing ever to give both of them kisses in the old truck!

Oliver helped Mommy in the afternoon with the weekly shopping trip and then came home to eat, bathe, and go to sleep early- thanks to the time change.

Happy Halloween

This morning at the Y in his hiking gear- measuring stuff

Running down the sidewalk to go trick or treating!

Spooky!
Getting our treats after getting tricked.

At another spooky house!

Happy Halloween. Oliver gets the idea of trick or treating, just didn't want to put his costume on! We got a little spooked at the first house, but we were okay! Oliver didn't have a nap today and woke up really hyper- probably from last night! So today was a funky kind of Halloween! We had fun with the Grandmas and Daddy tonite. Now we can start talking about TURKEYS!!!

"That was fun."

Fair Queen!

Oliver had a good day. He woke up early and cuddled with Mommy. Then we cleaned the house. He was getting into a bit of mischief and got a bloody nose and landed on the floor from a couch fall, but he was still having fun. We went to the Y and he had a good time, then we stopped by Mommy's classroom for a few minutes then we came home to nap. Oliver took a nice nap and then woke up to cuddle with Mommy and eat dinner.

Then we picked up Grandma, then Grammie, and we all headed for a special Halloween Festival at Grandma's church. When both Grandma's were in the car Oliver said, "It's Halloween!"

It was a huge Festival with tons and tons of people, lots of slides and rides and games. And tons of free candy!!! Oliver liked that part! Mommy and Daddy both have sweet tooths- so Oliver was bound to get one too! We had a lot of fun-- Oliver was so brave and wanted to play on everything! He even led us to some places! (He saw Dr. Rubin there too! He was pretty excited about that!)

When we got to the car, Oliver said to Mommy, "That was fun." We were all sleepy on the drive home--Oliver was in a zone. He is sleeping now, after he got a sneak peak of Halloween!

My Favorite Picture

Still my favorite picture ever of our little tree climber

at 3 months old!

Oliver had a good day. He woke up early and played with Daddy and then went to Jan's. Mommy picked him up and they went back to her school. He had fun playing with all the teachers, and dumping at Amanda's bucket of paper clips. He always has so much fun!

We came home and he ate "bug" pasta and the was so tired he went to sleep early. He is getting ready for a big Halloween weekend!

Driveway!

Our new driveway- the light is not that great but you can see it okay...

Oliver had a better morning! He wolfed down some pancakes and strawberries! Helped Mommy get ready and then was off for Jans house! He had fun playing with his friends and feeling the cool wind today! Mommy picked him up soon after she got finished at her doctor's appointment! (Mommy has a sinus infection- yuk! She has never felt so sick....or had to take so many medications at one time! Oliver helped her with that this evening!)

After Jan's we went to Mommy's classroom to clean up and prepare for a whole day of parent conferences tomorrow! Then we stopped by Ricos to bring home some yummo dinner! Oliver played when we got home and checked out our new driveway! We won't have so much dust blowing in the house now and getting on the cars!!! Oliver liked it-- now he can ride his bike- yay!!! He went to bed pretty quick today after a day full of fun, wind, and asphalt!

Tuesday with Daddy

He has great work ethic!

These pictures are sooooo cute!!!!

Oliver was kind of funky when he woke up this morning! So we got our morning off to a funky start! Oliver played with his friends and had fun at Jan's though! Daddy picked him up since it was Mommy's late day and they played with the tractor and other goodies that the paving people left behind. (We are getting the top of our driveway paved!) Oliver got into some things he shouldn't have- which just reinforces the need to make sure there are no tools, spray paint cans, sharp objects or other things lying around!!!

When Mommy got home Oliver was overtired and Daddy helped Oliver to bed. Mommy got to play with Oliver for a bit and now the boys are talking and getting sleepy on the sleeping bag.

Oliver's friend Twila Rose was born early this morning to our good friend Rochelle and her husband Conrad. We are so happy for them and can't wait to meet their baby girl!
