Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween! Gabriel had a great time trick-or-treating. Here in Aurora, t-o-t starts at 4pm and goes until 7:30pm. That was different than we are used to. We went through our own neighborhood but didn't get much loot - so we headed to another neighborhood and got lots of treats. Gabe was such a cute fireman and really enjoyed seeing the other kids in their costumes! Hope yours was spooky too!!

Metal for Gabriel

Gabriel just finished up a 6 week Sports class through our local parks & rec. He had a great time learning about sports and playing a new one each week. Roy attended class with him and they had a lot of fun. They played t-ball, soccer, basketball, football and hockey. He really liked his Coach Mike, who made things really fun for the kids. During his last class he got a medal...he's very proud of it!

Raking Leaves

Today we finally got the leaves raked. Dad did a bunch of them earlier in the week for us and filled up a bunch of small pumpkin bags. We did more today and filled one huge pumpkin bag! It was a perfect day, about 57 degrees and sunny! Take a look http://picasaweb.google.com/gabesmom1003/RakingLeaves

Museum of Science & Industry

This past Monday, Roy and I both took the day off and took Mom, Dad and Gabriel all down to the Museum of Science & Industry. It was great!! Almost every exhibit is hands-on and very interactive. It was perfect for Gabe since he likes to push buttons! Check out the pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/gabesmom1003/MuseumOfScienceIndustry

Gabriel's Birthday Party

Gabriel had a wonderful birthday!! We spent most of the day at Chuck E. Cheese! Everyone played games and ate pizza - it was fun! With all the tickets we won, we bought a CEC t-shirt and a gum ball machine. After that, we had cupcakes and a cool ice cream cake from DQ! Everything was Hot Wheels themed! He opened his presents and got so much cool stuff....from a football, board games, clothes, video games and a new bike!!
