Our final stop was at Grandpa & Grandmas where he was allowed to dump all of the candy on the floor. It was great fun!!!

Dad, Mom, and Little Roo went to "trick-or-treat" downtown. It was perfect for Rio because it was from 4-6 pm. He didn't have a clue what was going on, but once he got ahold of his pumpkin, there was NO WAY he was going to let it go! To top it off, he got a lot of suckers and those are his favorite!!

We're ready to go trick-or-treating!!

Rio won't let me do anything in the kitchen unless he can watch what I am doing. So, we pull up a chair and he "helps" me cook. Baking is the best because he can lick the spatula when I am done with it.

Rio and cousin Corbin opening birthday presents!

Rio turned 1 year on October 1st! He determined right away that the frosting was the best part!

We managed to grow three HUGE watermelon in our garden. This was the biggest and weighed in at 40 lbs! Thank goodness it tasted good. There was a LOT of watermelon to eat!

Thanks to Uncle Bill, we now have a sprinkler system! As you can see, Rio was a LOT of help that day!!
