Happy Halloween!

Big surprise...Ben was Champ the Bobcat for his first Halloween. :)

On the prawl...

Ben was invited to a kids' party over at his cousin Elsye's (the pea). Also in the picture are his other cousin's (Kara's twins) - Stetson (Alfalfa) and Phoebe (cowgirl).

Ben & Elsye

Our next stop was at our 'Grizzly friend's'...Rob & Amanda. They had to admit that Ben was one cute Bobcat. :)

Ben and his buddy Rob

Next we had to stop at the Weedin's so Ben could catch up with his monkey buddy Brady.

Checkin each other out...

Why do our parents do this to us?!

Enough of the dress-up, time to play ball!

Final stop on our big outing was at Beth & Sean's so they could check out their favorite Bobcat.

8 Months Old!

Some of Ben's 8 month pics...

Now that he's on the move, this is one of his favorite obsticles is trying to get through the end table...

...and if he can't go through, he tries to squeeze around it!

Helpin with the laundry.

Teasin the puppies.

Dad coaches pee-wee (5th & 6th grade) football so we geared up to go watch one of his games on a nice Saturday morning.

Everyone wants outside to play!

Loungin with mom.

Lots of new tricks!

Peakin over the couch.

Look at that crazy hair (or more like crazy 'hairs' :).

Big yawns.

Pretty big boy.

A little playtime with the puppies before bed.

Out like a light.

Pumpkin Carvin

Ben helped out with carving his first pumpkins...

...by trying to eat the lid...

...and making sure we got all the gunk out.

Pumpkin Patch

We took Ben out on a cold fall day to the Pumpkin Patch at Rocky Creek Farms with friends Bryce, Jamie & Jane Harrison and Garth, Tracey & Dayton Clingingsmith.





We had to take a hayride from the farm out to the pumpkin patch.

Ben & Jane...who wasn't real thrilled about the whole ordeal!

"Harrison Fresh"....how fitting.

Bozeman Hot Springs

We went out to the Bozeman Hotsprings for a dip with some friends. It had been awhile since Ben had been swimming, but once he splashed around a little he was loving it.
