The Blarney Castle and Stone

It was a really cold morning when we reached the Blarney Castle, and we could barely see it from the path.  Luckily, it turned out to be a nice day.  We were so fortunate that we didn't have to deal with crowds and we even parked right next to the entrance!

Kissing the Blarney Stone...Didn't realize what a hike it would be up the castle staircases!  I cramped for days afterward.  My doctor has said no more castles...and send him a post card!!  I'm confused!!  Since we now have the "gift of gab" from kissing the stone, I think maybe we'll have a little chatty baby girl!!!  Who knows!!!  

Dublin in a Day......

The Hop-On Hop-Off Bus was a favorite for Wes!!

Wes is tasting the brew that he created below!!  Gotta love the Guiness!!  Or at least he does!

Just kidding...that's John's beer!

Our Pumpkin

I guess John was being modest and didn't post these pics when I was in Sardinia!!  It was fun for Wes to watch him carve the pumpkin...When he was finished, he showed me that he carved the teeth to match Wes'!!  Four on top and 3 on the bottom!  Wes loved pumpkins this year!  He still wanted to carry the carved one around!


  

Fall Fun!

John finally had time to rake some leaves and spend some time outdoors!  Wes sure enjoyed the opportunity to help and play with the dogs!

Yummy!!!  Just like the dogs!!

Notice all the leaves that are still on the tree limbs...guess he'll be doing this again!

Wes is signing and saying "more" because he wants the ball back!

Ha!  I got it and I'm taking it away!

Happy Halloween!

We spent our Halloween eve in one of the hangars on base with games and treats! 

Gammi, Grampa and Auntie Kristie!!

 A little late here...but a few weeks ago we had a wonderful visit with Gammi, Grandpa and Auntie Kristi!!  It's so great to be able to visit pretty regularly while we live so far away!  Wes loved all the attention and was proud to show off his walking skills!!  

Wes and Kristi in Luxembourg...I love this pic of him with one of his godmothers!!

Kristi's birthday party!!!  Hats and birthday cake!!  She was so excited to see him go to town with more cake!!

New Photos

OK, so I'm a single dad this weekend as Bec is on a girls trip to Sardinia.  Since Katie keeps bugging me about not enough new photos on the blog, I learned how to upload during Wes' naptime.  Enjoy!

                                                         A good shot of the little guy

        Yup, those eyes are going to stay blue, however I think he is going to be right handed...

Still a messy eater...

Wes helping me build a cabinet, using his own tools.  I wouldn't have gotten it done without his help!

And here he is doing his best Carter Beauford impression!

Bowling

Wes has gone bowling a few times now!  He walks up to the ramp, pushes the ball and waves good-bye to it as it rolls down the lane!  Then he gets a high-five! 

More Pumpkin Photos!! Thanks to Jen!
