Let's go Buffalo!!

Jeff and I spent the weekend in Buffalo with some of our great friends! We reminiscenced about college days, tailgated like pros and saw the Bills/Jets game from the 1st row on the 35 yard line! A fantastic weekend (despite the Bills loss)!! We only wished it had lasted longer. Although...I'm not sure how many more deep fried chicken wings we could have eaten.

Jeff and my shadows on the field!

HALLOWEEN!

We had a gorgeous day/night for Halloween! Temps were in the upper 60s with sunshine, pumpkins and trick or treaters galore! Brady & Ainsley warmed up by trick or treating at a company party. Then, we all went home for the official trick or treating! Turns out a 2 year old and 9 month old can really score some candy! Our race car driver and bumble bee were a big hit!

Papa's Birthday!

We helped Papa celebrate his birthday with yummy steaks, chocolate cake and presents! Brady didn't give Papa a chance to forget his bday, telling him every 2 minutes that it was "Papa's Birthday".

ZooBoo!

This past Saturday we went to the zoo for their annual Halloween party, ZooBoo! Aunt Alyce and cousin Landon joined us, and a great time was had by all! There were animals, kids in costumes, candy and stuffed tree frogs as parting gifts. All the makings for a fun time!

Check out Landon (doggie) and Brady (race car driver) playing a game.

Ainsley & Brady's Weekend with Grandma Maria

While Jeff and I were in Virginia catching up with friends, and running the Army Ten Miler, Brady & Ainsley had a fun weekend with Grandma Maria! They hit an indoor play place called The Sandbox, went pumpkin picking and enjoyed a haunted hayride! They were properly spoiled, and Grandma is a hero!

Henry's Birthday

Our nephew, Henry, turned two and we headed to Syracuse to help him celebrate! Here are some highlights from the trip:

1- Henry putting on 15 layers of clothes, as he opened his presents! I've never seen a kid get excited about getting clothes as gifts!

2- Seeing baby Helen again!

3- Taking the annual Heimerman Christmas card picture! (Thanks, Nate.)

4- Aunt KK's amazing fire truck cake. She put moms like me to shame.

5- The helmet party. Henry, Brady & Ainsley all got to wear helmets. Gramma Sue, too!

6- Grampa, Gramma, Brady & Henry went to Hafner's and had a grand time at their fall festival. Face painting, a maze, a SpiderMan sighting and pumpkins!

7- Time with the Heimerman clan! (Jeff may not agree with this one.)

We Did It!

Jeff and I completed the Army Ten Miler! Jeff was a trooper and stayed with me the entire run. He found that us "slow folk" have a lot more fun than the serious runners. Maybe he'll run with us more often?!

It was a gorgeous day for a run. Blue sky, sunshine and in the 60s. It was a good run (for a 10 mile run), and I was glad when it was over! Jeff on the other hand stated that "This makes me want to run another marathon". If I had the energy, I would have swatted him.

We also had a fantastic weekend with friends and being back in Virginia! Awesome to see everyone and our old haunts, and it was hard to get back on the plane to Rochester.
