Grandma and Grandpa R came to town to celebrate Andrew's birthday. We visited the pumpkin patch while they were here. Within minutes of arriving to the patch, Andrew found his pumpkin. It was about 4 inches big and he carried it around the whole place. So cute!
We ended up finding lots of good ones. Daddy will be busy carving all of those.
We celebrated Andrew's 2nd Birthday on Wednesday Oct 14th. Our baby is growing up! Here he is at 7am on his birthday opening his presents from Mom & Dad. He got new Car shoes and a new "Tow-mater" car. 
Turning 2 is very bittersweet for us. While we get to celebrate Andrew's birthday, it is also time to say goodbye to Linda's daycare and move on to big-kid day care. Here are a couple pictures from Andrew's graduation outing.
Here are the new shoes. They are the "light" of Andrew's life. I suppose it helps that they light up and have Cars on them.
See next post for more pictures....
Hanging out with Jacob and Duncan. 
Silly Drew! He found some old glasses of Mommy's and wore them aroung the house for a while. 
Daddy at the State Fair enjoying bacon on a stick!
We'll post some more pics again soon. Until then! :)
For 7 days in August our town, Chaska, hosted the 91st Championship PGA. It was quite the big deal. Lots of golfers, volunteers and grandparents came to town. Grandma and Grandpa Raisanen were here for 8 days to enjoy the event. Grandma and Grandpa Wilson came to town for a few days as well. Each day someone was heading over there. I'm still not sure what the big fuss was about, watching old people play golf?? If you want to see a good golf game, you should check out mine. I'm awesome. Course I love pushing my bag around the most. Here's the best picture Daddy took. (That's Tiger's butt in case you don't recognize it). 
My rocking horse is finally short enough for me to get on it all by myself. I ride it every day and say "weeeeee" each time. So much fun. The picture below is of my Mommy's horse when she was a kid. I have another horse down stairs that mine. Aren't I spoiled??
As explained in previous posts, I can say the word "shoes". Every day I say, "Momma Shoes", "Da Shoes". I just love trying on everyone's shoes. Please come visit our house, so I can try on your shoes. 
Mommy likes this picture. For the longest time Mommy and Daddy couldn't figure out who I looked like most. But this picture clearly shows who I resemble most. 
Welp, that's all I've got for now. Enjoy the pictures. I am heading to the State Fair next weekend with my buddy Jake. I'm looking forward to some Deep Fried Oreos and Chocolate Covered Bacon on a Stick. Yum, Yum!
Andrew and Koko love the tank. Much time is spent just staring into it. (sorry about the flash in the photo).
Andrew loves shoes. All kinds. He loves pointing out everyone's shoes. He loves putting on his shoes, cause that means we're going outside. The typically outside routine is... 1) Put on Andrew's shoes, 2) Andrew finds Mommy's shoes and makes her put them on, 3) Andrew finds Daddy's shoes and makes him put them on, 4) go outside and have fun. 
And here's what we do when we get outside. Go to Andrew's park. We call it Andrew's park because all the equipment and swings are toddler size, so we are typically the only people there. He just loves the swings. At day care Linda has lots of toys in her backyard, but Andrew is content with just swinging all afternoon. If you ask him if he wants to get down, you hear a big "NO"!!!
Swinging with Daddy. He always laughs when someone swings with him. The higher the better!
More fun at the park!
We have another busy month ahead of us. The PGA Championship is coming to Chaska next week and with it both sets of Grandparents. We will have a busy house for a week, but Andrew will love all the attention and Mom and Dad will love all the extra help.
