Thatcher turned 2 on November 4th. We had a fun party that next weekend, but I haven't been able to post because my computer got a stupid virus!
Anyway, thanks to Kenda for taking some cute pics! There are many more...but I won't bore you with too many pics of my favorite toddler!!
GameDay. Where is our respect now, huh????
My new BFFs in the row in front of us. I yelled in this poor guys ear all night. They didn't care, though. GUNS UP!
Hays....loving his sister....
Thatcher was not too excited about helping Daddy clean out the pumpkin. He just kept saying, "eewwww, yucky." But, he was pretty happy with the finished product. He kept wanting to "push the button." We tried to explain that this one doesn't have a button, we have to light a candle...he just didn't get it. Either way, he thought it was "pooky."
This is his parrot costume. I didn't get a family pic (he as a parrot, us as pirates) but I know my mom and Pat's mom did. I will try to get a copy. He thought he looked pretty cute. (the pink wings behind him in that last pic are not from his costume...it was a little girl standing behind him.)
My favorite story from Halloween:
We went to see the Harlans. After Thatcher took all the candy he could from Beth, he decided to check out their house. While inside, he decided to take one of Beth's potatoes, also. She, of course, let him have it. So...his bucket was a little heavier for the rest of the night, but he didn't seem to care.
I guess we make him a baked potato???

Thatcher pooped in the potty on Wednesday. He was excited, proud and confused. On Thursday I gave him a bath, and asked if he wanted to go tee tee in the potty first. He agreed. Then, when he saw the empty potty he said, "My poop! Where'd it go??"
Pottying is hard stuff....
Just a quick note to let you know that Thatcher tee tee'd in the potty 2 days ago. Pat and I are so proud of him. (yep, officially a mom if I am proud of potty time.) He was sitting on his potty while his daddy and I were talking. We looked down to see him right as he said, "I TEE TEE!!!"
Good job, buddy. One step closer to no diapers!
We went to the fair this past weekend. Thatcher LOVED it. He rode on 3 different rides, but he would have gone on all of them. He is already braver than his uncle Hays. 
He doesn't look like he is having fun, but he loved it. Pat and I laughed...we are pretty sure he thought he was driving this truck.
And the REAL reason for going to the fair.....
We saw the bear show on the way out. How does a bear go? grrrrrrr
We went to San Antonio this past weekend. The river is nothing like I remember it.....
HA HA! Just kidding!!!!
Pat ordered Lone Star....he was so proud!
People on the boat. I HATE the boat. We did not go on the boat.
Prickly Pear margarita....NOT as good as Santa Fe...
Kurt and Chicki got word that we were in San Antonio...so they loaded up and drove from Austin. It was really good to see them. We had lots of fun and laughed A LOT! And....let's just say that I was glad our hotel was within walking distance.
We were not feeling our best after the night with Kurt and Chicki....so we got some Mexican food at this place. BEST FOOD EVER! I got the chicken tortilla soup and it saved my life!
After lunch we did some shopping at the market center (or whatever it was called.) These guys were outside break dancing. They were really good!
We took this picture b/c it made us laugh. The sign reads: Please DO NOT try the sombreros unless purchasing. We laughed because they are so tiny! Even my head is not that small! (see Pat's hand for reference...
This is where Patrick and I ate Saturday night. It was soooo good. We got a table right on the river and enjoyed some tasty food. I got the big tails and little tails. Pat got the blackened prime rib. It was delicious!
I tried to get a pic of our hotel at night....didn't work out so well...
The Alamo with our hotel in the background....
We went to this cool museum thing that had a bunch of Texas Ranger stuff. (this item is not Texas Ranger, but I HAD to include it. It is over 3500 years old!!!)
Here is some of the Texas Ranger stuff. I took lots of pics, but I won't make you look at all of them. It was pretty cool, and Pat really liked it.
This gun scared me...
This one is for Eric....
We came back through Fredericksburg so Patrick could have some sausage and kraut. Not really my thing, but he loved it!
