Not Cho Cheese!!!

Well another week has come and gone and we have had many a fun meal with Toby. This week we had nachos, Spaghetti, and stir fry chicken and shrimp. He loved the nachos and the spaghetti but didn't really like the Stir fry. Tonight we are having garlic chicken sandwiches with mushrooms, asparagus, and macaroni.

On Tuesday Toby and I drove around for a while and when we got home he decided that it was his turn to drive...not really but he thought it was. He is so cute.

On Thursday we went out for lunch with grandma Debi at Red Robin and Toby had pepperoni pizza dipped in ranch dressing and lemonade. There was a little girl at a table just across from ours that was about Toby's age and he was trying to talk to her it was adorable.

Chowder Head

Well as you can see summer is finally over so i can update a little more often than in the past. Anyway yesterday was a fun filled day full of new foods and exciting times. For breakfast Toby ate a Cinnamon french toast piece with some fruit nothing too exciting yet had occurred. by lunch he was showing interest in walking with out any aid. I stopped working and cooked us up some Clam Chowder I thought that it would be fun to see if Toby would be interested in eating some with me. Oh my gosh what a fun meal. He had chowder all over his face and clothes but I was also surprised how much he actually got into his mouth. For diner he ate a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich on Poulsbo Bread (one of My favorite fast meals). After diner we tried the walking thing again, Toby seems to make a game out of it as if he knows that he can do it and he is just teasing us. Well needless to say he finally took those long awaited steps. My life is now officially over as I know it. I just know he will be into everything running back and forth, I can just see it know. What the heck is next, Oh my gosh, driving argh.
Toby also has a new found infatuation with shoes his and ours. He tries to put shoes on his feet and then get up and crawl of walk around with his walker it is too cute. He brings me his shoes and then points his feet straight up in the air as if he telling me to put them on. So I do and he gets so excited, it is hilarious.

Hunting Trip

Well as you all know it is this time of year that Troy and i pack everything up in some form of vehicle and head east to Stan and Beaver's for our annual deer hunting trip. This year we took the Bronco we all fit just fine even the dogs. We took a ferry over to Seattle and from there the trip was on. We made ot over the mountains just fine.




As we were in route we found out that there had been a small brush fire that ran up right to Stan and Beaver's front door man i would to have liked to see that. Saturday, October 11th was opening day Troy and i had decided that i would take the first outing to see if I could bag my deer. I had no luck in the morning even though i had a few chances at a small buck. The next day Troy took his shift when the Bronco's starter failed, this did not prove to be a good morning what so ever needless to say he did not have any luck either. .


On Monday i chose to go out back where i have been successfull many times before. I have a secret spot that at about 9:15 every year the deer seem to accumulate. i however had a successfull morning.

All in all we had a good trip even though we had some car issues but hey what is new I am a disaster when it comes to vehicle luck as everyone knows. Even though Troy did not get his deer this trip he has an Elk tag for a cow in Margret down by Mt St Helens, he is really excited about it and he should be able to get his elk this year. let's all cross our fingers i would really like to have some elk in our freezer this year.
