X's Carrots

Xander picked out hummus to go with the whole wheat bagels he's been asking for all day, but when we got home, X insisted that the hummus was for carrots only. He bit his lip while eating them, but told me that "it's better already."

X rides the rollercoaster!

Xander loved all of the rides at the Mall of America!  Here are some taken on the rollercoaster--he went on this ride at least  six times!

Getting ready for Halloween

Xander tried in some spooky masks today!

X in SF

We've been visiting Xander's grandparents in Sioux Falls this weekend, as well as family in Minneapolis. We have tons of pictures from the past few days! Here are some from Sioux Falls:

Xander & Monica

Xander was able to see his great-grandmother, Monica, at his great-uncle Mike's 50th birthday party in Sioux Falls last weekend:

First Haircut

I was cutting Paul's hair outside about a month ago, and Xander said that he wanted his hair cut, too. We almost made it to his third birthday before cutting his hair!

Xap's 3rd Birthday

Xander wanted to go to Nobbies on the morning of his birthday this year. He rode some run rides and picked out his birthday "kitty cat."

First Ferris Wheel Ride

X went on the Ferris wheel at Scheels for the first time yesterday!  He had so much fun, I'm sure we'll be going again soon. 

Day Camp!

Xander just left his first day of summer day camp! He had a blast getting dirty out in the mud and rain! Here is a picture of the caterpillar he made:

Sand in the City

Glad we took these pictures before the rain!
