The Pumkin Patch
We went to Eckerts with Grandma Mary and we rode the wagon to the pumpkin patch. Cael picked out his own little pumpkin (with a little help from me).

It Finally Happened
While I was pregnant Ben always said that he did not care if Cael peed or threw up on him. He just did not want to ever be pooped on. Well the other night, the unthinkable happened.....Ben got pooped on and it was the funniest thing ever!!

Gardner Family Adventure
We went to Bass Lake and Yosemite for a Gardner Family Reunion.
We had tons of fun and everybody got to meet Cute Baby Cael.(Cael's first plane ride at 13 weeks. He definitely takes after the Gardner side, he loved the plane ride and looking out the window!)

Like Father Like Son
Ben and Cael taking a nap.
The light above them was off, so I turned it on to get a better picture.
After a few seconds of the light being on.

Our Fun Food Adventures
Since I have been home on Maternity Leave we have been watching more TV. Some of our favorite shows at the moment are Man v. Food/Food Network which I blogged about before. On the Food Network they have featured a couple of restaurants that are famous for either deserts/food. Since a couple of these places are within driving distance from us, we thought what the heck, lets have some fun.
The 2nd place we went is called Pappy's in St. Louis. It has been voted the best BBQ in the STL. They only make a certain amount of food a day and once they are out of food, they close for the day. I am not a big BBQ fan but Pappy's makes one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I have ever had. This place gets 2 thumbs up.
The 3rd place we went was The Blue Owel in Kimswick, Mo (the sticks). We went specifically for their pies. We shared a piece of the apple pie. The pie seemed to be lacking something, it was not very good. This place gets 2 thumbs down.

The 4th place we went was SuperDawgs in Chicago. It is considered one of the 1000 places you have to see before you die. When you go to SuperDawgs do not attempt to order a hot dog cause they only sell superdawgs. The superdawg comes in a box stuffed with french fries. This place gets 1 thumbs up and 1 thumbs down.

Now we are looking for our next adventure! Anyone have any suggestions?
The 1st place we went to was Oklahoma Joes in Kansas city which is considered one of the 13 places you have to eat before you die. I was still in my 1st trimester of pregnancy when we went and my main food aversion was red meet and Oklahoma Joes serves almost all BBQ (not a fun combination). Ben thought the BBQ was one of the best he has ever had. This place gets 2 thumbs up.

The Joys of Parenthood
Our cute little baby Boy is growing up so fast. Cael has found his thumb, mastered the pouty lip, cried real tears (which broke my heart), smiles at us on purpose, rolled over onto his side and is starting to recognize us.
We cannot remember what our life was like without him. It seems as though he has always been here, like we new him before. I cannot wait to have our next one!

Sneaky Little Guy
I was taking Cael's 2 month pictures and during the process Cael decided to sneak a little something in one of the pictures.
Looks like he is getting ready for when he starts driving.
Can you see what Cael snuck in?

Brain Freeze
We have been watching Man V. Food and on the show they do lots of food challenges at restaurants across the USA. I have always wanted to do a food challenge, but there is no way I would ever win one.
There is a restaurant called Dr. Jazz that has an ice cream challenge. If you eat 12 scoops of ice cream and 2 toppings in 30 mins you get a T-shirt and bragging rights. About 300 people have tried this challenge and only 8 have successfully finished it.
Ben decided to try the ice cream challenge........ His strategy was to get the ice cream really soft and to drink hot water.
Unfortunately, his strategy did not work and he admits defeat.
