a little fun....

Brian was playing around the family room tonight and decided he wanted toys out of his toybox. Well....I put the toybox on its side so that HE could get the toys out. He decided after getting the big toys out that he was going to get IN the box!!! I grabbed my camera and snapped these!! He played in there for about 15 min.

fall weekend

Hi! Hope everyone had a good weekend! We took Brian out to the Millstadt Eckert's Fun Farm this afternoon (Sunday). He seemed to like looking around and watching people. Got to see the pumpkin launcher, watch pig races, play in a strawbox (a pit filled with straw instead of sand) and pet some goats...he liked that the best!!! (especially when the goats licked his hands!) Because the Millstadt farm didn't have the apple that Papa liked, we went to the Belleville farm (they are both close to our house) and Brian and Daddy enjoyed a funnel cake....YUM!!!!! Enjoy the photos! Hope you all have a great week!

a few more.....

Thought I'd add a few more while I waited for itunes to burn some cds for school.

The 1st one was taken July 31st at Wayne's. (Vera's friend) Rob had to work late and Vera had asked us to come for dinner. B had a grand time playing in the yard with Aunt Kathy!

The rest were taken June 22nd on the way to Cinci for Ashley's wedding. B enjoyed the 5 hr. ride..sleeping for about 1 1/2 hrs. and looking out the window the rest of the time. He got cranky the last 1/2 hr. on the way there and on the way home. He was just tired of sitting. I discovered that turning on some classical music calmed him down. (Though Daddy said lucky.)

just a few more for tonight! :-)

these are the last 4 for tonight.... the 1st is B with his Aunt Kathy (holding him) while a neighbor of Grandma P's and Wayne's gives them a ride in a go cart. One of B's favorite toys is Daddy's remote....he will fight to get it! Daddy had this bear chair from when he was a little boy and I got it out for B last weekend...he loves to sit in it since it is his size. The last is a random photo Papa took one weeknd when they were over.

Hopefully I will get a chance to post some more later!!! Hope you all enjoyed! Have a good week!!

meet the new cookie monster!

I forgot to post these.....Guess I was interrupted and forgot that these were in the draft....

Well...Rob decided B just HAD to try oreo double stuff cookies. He LOVED them as you can tell on his face! The 1st 2 are from the 1st time he had ever had them. Then the next weekend Nana and Papa came over and they wanted to see him eat a cookie....so this time we stripped him. Thank goodness...he had it all over!!

One of his favorite pasttimes!

I managed to snap this one morning (before school started back) while B was playing in his room. He LOVES to play with the laundry (clean OR dirty!) and it will entertain him for about 15 min. He'll take it out of the basket and move the clothes from one pile to another. Sometimes I'll sneek in and throw the clothes back in!

a few of the promised photos! :-)

Ok.....so, here are a few of the promised photos. These are from B's birthday...I made his "smash" cake. The 1st time to ever try decorating a cake like this...not TOO hard. But, it was also a small, single cake. He never did get much of the cake and he wasn't too messy with it. He did not care for Daddy's cheesecake. :-P
