ENGAGED!!!!!

No, not me (I'm still FAR too young for such a commitment)...Aunt Nay Nay and Een!!! Een popped the big question on Saturday and Nay Nay said yes. Yay Nay Nay and Een!

Halloween in December???

Hi Everyone,

So, my parents have FINALLY gotten around to getting my Halloween pictures up...it only took them a little over a month. :)

Here are the cool pumpkins we carved. I loved sitting on the island and scooping out all of the seeds. I even got to do a little carving...though I'm not sure how effective my little butter knife was.

My friends Markus and Clare came over to help me put on my costume.

You can barely see it, but I even had a little bag of clubs. Unfortunately, only one was removable and it was filled with batting. Not the club you want for ultimate performance. I think I'll stick to my plastic set.

The hat, however, was great...even if my head was bordering on too big for it. And check out the cool shoe covers!
Finally, we got down to the business of trick-or-treating. We even ran into my friend Ethan and his parents. He makes a great Superman!

Ethan was all about racing up to doors, but I was a little more cautious. Luckily, Aunt Nay Nay was there with me.

What do you mean you want to stop for pictures...I want more CANDY!!!!

After our photo shoot, I convinced mom and dad to hit a few more houses while Aunt Nay Nay and Een handed out candy at our house. Then, I melted down...

...I'm not sure why. I think it just became a little too much.

So, I went back to the safety of home.

And even scored another Hershey bar from Aunt Nay Nay. I was having a hard time focusing on dinner with all the kids coming to the door in their cool costumes, so mom and dad moved my high chair to the entry way.
From my new post, I could eat without missing any of the action.

Finally, it was time to get out of the costume and get down to the business of eating CANDY!!!

Pumpkin Patch Part Deux

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the lag time, but we're still a little behind on the photos. This set is from before Halloween when we went to the second pumpkin patch. Listen, when you find a good thing, it's hard to get enough. . .

Hello Chicken, can I pet you? Bigawk!!

We brought a cart into the field to bring back our pumpkins. Dad needed a little help keeping the thing moving.

Then Mommy started threatening to come get me and I just couldn't help but laugh. . .

and laugh . . .

This funny things looked like a great toy, but Mom and Dad wouldn't let me bring it home. They are so restrictive.

Check out my new boots! They're cool, allow Mom and Dad to leave me running around in puddles in mud, and they have monsters on the toe area.

We went to the patch with our friend Allison, Brad, and Foster. Our parents thought it would be fun to pose me and Foster on some hay bails.

Do I look happy to you?

But, I have to admit that the Simcox men do make a formidable joint force (with fashion sense too).

Then we went back out into the pumpkin patch. I found this pumpkin and thought it looked tasty.

So I took a bite. . .

and after some deliberation. . .

I decided it was delicious. Give me a KISS!!!

Does the dirt on the road also taste fantastic?

Launching "Connor in Motion"

Hey Folks,

Mom and Dad bought a new camcorder, so here we go :) They want to post videos on the right side of the blog, so check out "Connor in Motion" to see some of my recent, glorious moments. And, to get rolling, below are some starters. . .

I can DANCE!!!

And, I can SLIDE!!!!!

Please Feed the Amnimals

If any of you folks out there have good reason for this, I'd like to know. I went to the pumpkin patch a couple weeks ago with Mom, Claire, and Angela. Why is it that all these pumpkin patches have amnimals? What is an Alpaca anyway? I know I haven't been around a long time, but what kind of amnimal is this, anyway? Distant cousin to the Llama? Strange cross between a poodle and a camel, a cama-doodle? Okay, enough of my rant, on to the pictures. . .

Goats say Eeeeeeeeee. At least, that's what Mom and Dad have taught me. I didn't hear these goats making that sound though.

Hey, you!! Come over here please! I want to talk to you.

Hmmmm, they're actually not as small as I thought. Kind of intimidating when rearing on their hind legs. . . I still want to talk to you!

Claire, enough with the Alpaca flirting. This is serious business. Don't encourage them.

What? We're going to feed them? That seems strange. I'll like it? Okay, I'll give it a shot.

Hey Goat, want some tasty food pellets? Eeeeeeeeee!

Does that look mean the goat is happy? Well, he's sticking his face through the fence, so maybe he wants more.

Here you go Mr Goat. Let me shove some more in there.

Once the goats had their fill, we went over to the wild hay bale riding rodeo. Ride em hay bale!!! I went for way more than 8 seconds. I should go join PBR (professional bull riding).

Clarie as Farmer Claire. She pulls it off well I think.

Farmer Berg here. Where's my tractor?

Once we were done playing farmer, we headed out to the pumpkin patch itself. Is this the right way. Guys?

Not the right way? Okay, I'll follow you.

I see PUMPKINS!!! Look at them all. I think they're calling to me.

Gettem before they run away.

Which one do I want? They all look so good. Did that one just move? Mommy, are they still alive?

I don't feel like this field of pumpkins is a defensible position. I'm moving to higher ground.

Hit the road jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more. . .

Mini pumpkins!! I can handle these guys if they attack. They're kind of cute.

Wait a minute. Some of these things don't look like pumpkins. What's with all these crazy shapes and colors? Is this the land of mutant pumpkins?

Oohhhhhh, they're squashes. I get it now. God really does create some crazy stuff. Well, let's role with it.

To complete this post, what should this species be called? Looks like a cross between a rocket ship, pumpkin, and zucchini. . . a rockpumpccini? ? ?
