Cohen's first offical "school" picture!

OMG!! He is adorable and so grown up looking.

Trick or Treat...Smell my Feet!

Tonight Ed and I took Cami, Ben and Cohen to Living History Farms to Trick or Treat. They had a great time getting candy and tatoos, eating kettle corn, riding the hayrack ride and roasting marshmellows. This was Cohen's first experience trick or treating and he was a little overwhelmed with the people and lights....but don't worry Cami and Ben helped show him the ropes.

Pumpkin Carving Contest 2009

A little rain could not spoil our 2009 Pumpkin Carving Contest. There were quite a few pumpkins this year; but the winners were Sarah who created one pumpkin eating another pumpkin with pumpkin guts everywhere and Gavin who had a scary face pumpkin....congrats to both of you....the competition was tough!

Cohen had a great time throwing pumpkin guts at his cousins Liz and Jenny...and he even tried to eat a few pumpkin seeds.

The party was also hopping with HAWKEYE fans watching the game against Michagan State...for awhile we all thought the hawks were not going to make it through with a win...but they did and everyone was so excited!

Thanks to everyone who came to the party; hopefully you had a great time.

Good Puppies

The dogs played in the front yard while Ed hooked up the TV on the top of his truck so everyone at the pumpkin carving contest could watch the Hawkeyes! Too bad it rained....we had to move the tv in the garage! Everyone still had fun though.
 
 
 

Girl at Blue Moon Dueling Piano Bar

Ok, so Saturday night we went to Blue Moon Dueling Piano bar to help my friend Libby celebrate her 30th birthday....it was a blast. And for anyone who has not been to this bar it is fun and laid back and quite fun! They call random people on the stage and make fun of them or sing to them, mostly to the birthday people or the people who are they for their bridal parties. Or you could be my friend Libby who volunteers to go up on stage and dance with the piano players while they play...she had a little too much to drink.

But during our time at the bar they brought up a women who was about 30ish and pretty and cute and adorable....and they sang "You've lost that loving feeling" and they mentioned that she had just found out that she was in remission and no more cancer.

So why am I telling you this...I have no idea...and I have no idea who she was....but I do know that for the 3 minutes while they sang to her while she sat on one of the pianos...I felt that the whole bar bonded as we clapped (and I am sure silently prayed) for her health. There was this weird feeling, almost goose bumpy, that made me want to go hug her. But I didn't. Way to go to the girl who fought and won the battle with cancer.

Howell's Pumpkin Patch

Today we decided to take a small road trip and go to Howell's Pumpkin Patch in Cumming. Cohen had a blast and can't wait to crave his pumpkin! Click here for all the pictures.

 
 
 
 

A little Friday night fun!

On Friday night Ed and I went to an indoor BBQ (indoor because it was a little chilly and rainy) with some friends from Tesdell. We had a great meal and a great time...I even touched Sage, Gavin's snake.

 
 
 
 

Playdate at Jordan Creek Mall

On Saturday, Cohen had a playdate with his friends Noah, Greyson and Alec. All four boys are within 2 months of each other and are becoming good buds! The play area was super busy and little scary as the bigger kids were running all over the place. The boys had fun for about 45 minutes and then we found ourselves shopping in Children's Place.

Go Hawks!

Cohen is so happy that the hawks are 5-0. He loves to to watch the games with Ed, grandpa, and great grandpa. Cohen drinks his milk and eats his goldfish while the other Thielking men drink a few beers and munch on more "grown up" appetizers! Click here for more pictures!
