Fall Festival

Sunday we went to a Fall Festival at First Baptist Concord with our pals Tony and Kim and their great kids Nicole and Anthony. Joey got to ride a pony for the first time and he absolutely LOVED it!!

Here he is petting the pony while he is riding.

They also had all kinds of inflatable jumpers and Joey loved those too!

The obstacle course he is climbing on and through was his favorite!!

Boo at the Zoo!

We took Joey to Boo at the Zoo and had a great time. He absolutely loved seeing another Frankie.

Here he is giving a high-five!

His reaction at the first treat station was AWESOME!!! He was so excited and then....

Once he looked in his bag and figured out there were toys and candy in there, we could not stop him. This is a great pic of him peeking inside his bag.

And off he went running to all the treat stations with me and Dad chasing him.

A cute pic of a lip whistle he got that he loves to blow, and blow, and blow....and eventually we hid it!!!

The 4th Annual Zanoni Halloween Party

We had a blast at our annual Halloween party last week and hope our guests did too!!! It was a great success with over 50 people throughout the night! Here are some of the best photos, I really wish I could include them all, and even going through them I noticed some people I forgot to get pictures of entirely...so if you were there and have some good ones email them on to me : )

(Quick note: these pics were uploaded in a random order and in the interest of time I am not going to sort them...with the exception of the first of Joey)

Halloween Decor

Well we have been TRYING to decorate for Halloween and Joey is having a blast with all of the decorations...he isn't scared one bit and makes sure to greet Edward our scary butler and Al the Axeman every morning with great big Hellos and waves. Here he is hamming it up in the witches cauldron....here is some Joey stew, sure is sweet!!!

Here he is playing with our funny cat

He keeps stealing the bones (and tombstones) from Dads graveyard...it is driving Dad CRAZY!!! He likes to grab the long bones and hit things...he looks like Bam-bam from the Flintstones

Here he is with our skeleton door curtain...don't count on seeing it hanging this year....Joey likes it better around his neck.

Our nicely placed witch didn't stay there too long.....a great playmate for Joey.

Joey got fairly angry with us for putting this strange skeleton in his rocker...its okay for Rusty Bear to sit there he is a pal...but a stranger in my rocker...NO WAY!!!

Here he is "helping" us unpack a box....he LOVES the snakes and bugs.

And rolling the pumpkin, definitely fun for a little boy
