Grandpa and Nana visit

December 23rd, 2014. (23 months, 1 week old.) by andrew

Grandpa and Nana came to visit for Christmas.  They are really great because they helped me do the things I really like to do, like reading:

… and playing with Play-Doh.

I was very proud of the pancakes I rolled out with Grandpa’s help!

Yay!


Making Gingerbread Houses

December 12th, 2014. (6 years, 6 months old.) by ben

Aves and I made gingerbread houses last weekend.  Well, I made a house and she made a cottage – long story.

But it was tasty just the same!  Thanks Uncle John for making such yummy gingerbread!


Peter Pumpkin Patch

October 19th, 2014. (6 years, 4 months old.) by ben

We went to the big pumpkin patch again this year.  This time they had a corn pit!  It was really big.

I can see Andrew thinking, “Woah.  Just… woah.”

I showed Andrew the top of the hay pyramid this year.  He likes climbing, so… no problem.

Of course, we got to see the tractors.

And there were wheelbarrow rides for some.

Andrew got to meet the local livestock up close and personal.

After a bit of warming up, he was ready to pet the cow.

And of course we had a good time with our cousins.

Hay ride!

 

 

 


Family Photos

October 9th, 2014. (6 years, 4 months old.) by ben

Well, it’s that time of year again.  We took some pictures with Jeneanne.  This year I got to keep Andrew from falling off of rocks and into the water while she was taking pictures of us – big job!

Ma and Pa were with us, too, which was a lot of fun.


Airplane! Truck! Grandma! Grandpa!

August 13th, 2014. (19 months old.) by andrew

I went on my first airplane trip!

It was fun seeing all the airplane stuff, and playing with the tray in front of me, but the flight was waaaaay too long.

At least after we got off the airplane I got to see Grandma and Grandpa.  Grandma read me a story before bedtime.

And going for a walk with Grandpa was fun.

And Grandpa has a very cool green truck.  It reminds me of my Little Blue Truck book.  We got to go for lots of rides!

Peek-a-boo!

And I got to help move the gate up and down!…

…and play golf in the back!

On the airplane ride home I was just too tired to stay awake.

What a fun trip!


Wedding Trip and LegoLand!

August 13th, 2014. (6 years, 2 months old.) by ben

We went down to cousin Christine’s wedding.  Our rental car had a trunk big enough to use as a PJs changing room!

Before the wedding, we went to LegoLand where we saw lots of Legos and went on roller coasters and saw a 3D show about Clutch Powers!  They have lots of Star Wars Legos there now!

I got to be in the wedding.  I was the ring bearer.  This meant I got to go practice, which included sitting in the dugout with the groom guys.  (Ed Note: Looks more like the penalty box!)

Of course, cousin Avery was in the wedding, too.  She was a flower girl.  Doesn’t she look nice?

I had a great time at the party after the wedding.  Dancing to the music and getting chocolate from the fountain was really fun!  I can’t wait until my next wedding!  Does anybody need a ring-bearer?


Fair

August 2nd, 2014. (6 years, 2 months old.) by ben

Daddy took me to the fair today and guess what we saw?  A Lego model of AT&T park!  I was just there on Wednesday!  There’s even a big Coke bottle and a picture of Buster Posey on the Jumbo-tron!

I also liked this flag made of baseball bats.

Avery and I got to go on some really fun rides, like this ‘Silver Streak’!

And the crazy caterpillar coaster!

 


Sleepover

July 20th, 2014. (6 years, 1 month old.) by ben

First, I had to practice at home with my sleeping bag for a few nights.  After that, I was ready!

Then it was over to Avery’s on the appointed evening.  After dinner, we pitched the tent…

…and moved in!

We stayed up late and read stories by flashlight!  Awesome!


Christmas with Grandpa and Nana

December 17th, 2013. (5 years, 6 months old.) by ben

Grandpa and Nana came up for a Christmas visit.  It was really great to see them. They had a good time visiting with Andrew.

And they brought Christmas presents!  I got Legos. Grandpa helped me put stickers on my Cargo Heliplane.

Here’s my heliplane and space shuttle all finished.  Awesome!


Visit to Dan and Amber’s

November 18th, 2013. (5 years, 5 months old.) by ben

We took a trip to visit Cousins Dan and Amber.  Avery and Ollie came, too.  They had a great backyard with lots of leaves to play with.

We collected them up…

… and then had as much fun with them as we could!

Wooo hooo!
