Hey...Is that...BUZZ LIGHTYEAR??

This year for Halloween at his dad's house, Drew dressed up as Mister Buzz Lightyear himself accompanied by his best bud, Bumble Bee from Transformers (Christian Schwab)!

He's pretty awesome.

We had some pre-Halloween shenanigans at the Spirit store since there wasn't much to do during the day on Halloween! Drew and Ava got to go Trick or Treating at Judy's parents house and since they were first, they got the top pick of the candy pot!

Is Anyone Surprised By Drew's Costume Choice? I'm Not.

Isn't he the cutest train conductor of them all? He certainly is the silliest...
Last night was the Night of 1000 Pumpkins on Sutter Street where kids dressed up in their costumes and went trick or treating at all the shops along the strip! There was a giant inflatable projection screen playing Beetle Juice too! Drew was so excited about the pumpkins, he didn't even care about the candy...although he requested ice cream with M&M's on it (hold the ice cream) when we got home of course ;)

Rollin In Mom's 4Runner...Like a Boss

Drew almost always requests sunglasses now during rides home from daycare...no matter if they actually fit his head or not ;)

Andrew Dayle Dent, MD...and Somersault Master

I got this email from your Great G'ma Hill and I thought it was so funny I had to share it!

"Andrew told his dad last night to be very very still. He said, “I’m a doctor and I need to check your nose.” So, Brad holds his chin up so Drew could look up his nose and instead, Drew stuck his finger in his dad’s nose. Brad was shocked and moved and Drew told him, "I told you to be still." It cracked me up and everyone else. (It was G’pa’s birthday…the Hill kids celebrated. ) Also, Drew learned how to do a somersault and Aunt Denise was the trainer. He was pretty good by the time he left. I would presume he’s been doing this for a while already. So, be aware if he goes tumbling all over the place…that’s what he’s trying to do for you not purposely crashing furniture. He was such a joy last night…and so good. You would have burst your buttons. You’re a super mom and it shows in that happy little boy."

Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.

Drew, after well over three weeks straight of you requesting me to read this book to you every single night, you have finally memorized every page well enough to finish almost every sentence I start. This is blog worthy to me! You make me smile every single day and the fact that this book is one of your favorites makes me happy...just like the tree ;)

Drew singing the song I have sung to him since he was born :)

Your Grandma Diana

Andrew, I received this email from your great grandma Hill today and I thought you would love to read it one day as much as I did:

"Our beautiful Diana was memorialized at the car show today. The car club she and Ken belonged to gave both us and Ken a memorial plaque. It was such an honor...and the tears flowed as you can well imagine.

The plaque (photo attached) has Diana's picture on it as well the toy-stuffed 1916 Overland (Diana's car that G'pa Hopkins gave her some 23 years ago). The Overland is used at the car show to collect toys for Charity. Diana loved this car show and her little car club which now has eight members. Small but mighty! They get a lot done for Charity. We are so proud. It was fun to see the Overland filled to the brim again this year.

Our 1948 Lincoln that Lee named "Diana" some months ago won Best of Show at the car show. I didn't know he named the car Diana until today when I looked at the front license plate and there was her little California black and yellow license plate Lee bought her over 40 years ago. He found the plate in his tool box and put it on there soon after her death. The little bike license plate has her name on it. Well...it brought tears to my eyes to think he did that. Lots of tears today."
