Pumpkin Carving

Ruth didn't like the feeling of the inside of the pumpkin on her hand and wanted nothing to do with helping us carve the pumpkin. If you can't tell... our pumpkin is a picture of a werewolf biting the neck of a girl.

Real Cereal!

Well I gave in finally! It has always been dry cereal for Ruth because she can be a big mess maker and was never real good at the spoon. She is getting much better now, although not perfect. For the first time in her life she had a bowl of milk and cereal! Needless to say it was still a mess but she is getting better. And she loved it so much better than dry cereal and a cup of milk.

Football Games

Lately we have been spending two nights a week watching Daddy play flag football. He is the quarterback of the Supply Department's team and he is GOOD! Ruth loves watching the game and saying "looooookk. BALL!"




Sometimes right before the game starts I talk to daddy and charm the referee (on the left). My magic charming smile I give him helps make it a little one sided to be extra sure that daddy wins the game!

At the football games it can get a little chilly so thanks so much to Grammy Eck for sending the perfect new football outfit!

Autumn Fest!

Tonight was Autumn Fest on the base and Ruth had a great time. She was the cutest pink poodle around and of course the only pink poodle around! She went "trunk-or-treating", rode the rides, and ate chicken kabobs, french fries, and funnal cake! When her belly was full and the rides were rode we headed home just in time for her to crash and do it all over again tomorrow night!

Playgroup

Ruth went to the Marinai playgroup this morning and had to wear her costume. She loved going to the playgroup and had lots of fun with the kids but HATED her halloween costume! Well she has 3 more parties and then trick or treating to go to so I guess she has to endure it.

I leave Ruth alone in her room to play. 2 minutes later I go in the check on her and this is what she does to her room! Every piece of clothing she owns is thrown around her room. We have officially hit the toddler years! What am I going to do?

OOOOCCCHHHIIIEEE!!!

Well long story short, Mommy and Daddy and I were going on a walk and I was on my tricycle that mommy has a handle to push me. Well when mommy went to make a sharp turn I let go and raised my hands for daddy to pick my up. I ended up doing a face plant in the road. Once again I end up with my nose scraped up and this time... my first bloody nose. I seem to be doing well after all was said and done I only cried for 15 minutes and then played the night away until i fell asleep. Man what a rough night! I think Mommy feels real bad. :(

GO STEELERS!

Today is the day! At 7 pm tonight we will get to watch our first steelers game this year. We have missed all the others because they weren't broadcasted out here. Tonight though.... it will be live!!!! We are are so excited! GO PITTSBURGH STEELERS!




We bought this bow for ruth and can't wait to see it in person! It isn't here yet but maybe by the next game we see.

Birthday Party

We went to Landons Birthday Party a couple of weeks ago. Landon and Ruth loved playing together! Happy first birthday Landon!

Well we went for Gelato (ice cream) last week and to enjoy the wonderful view from the top of the the city of motta. We bought our ice cream and sat down to eat it at the look out when it suddenly got super chilly. Instead we sat in our car and ate it! Ruth is eating a "brioche." These are commonly eaten along side gelato and some people cut the brioche and place the ice cream inside like an ice cream sandwich. Ruth however prefers just the brioche, is one of her all time favorites, and is much less messy to clean up!

Happy Halloween

BOO! We are ready and excited for halloween. Are you?
