Middle of September!

Don't they look like twins in this picture?

Eddie..do you want to see my artwork I made at daycare? Ahhh...No Thank you..says Eddie.

Alex is trying to drink the peach juice from his cup of peaches. Gone is his tray for his high chair! He has joined the table and is now using silverware and plates. He is still a really messy eater. At least he doesn't drop as much on the floor anymore.

Evan helping to make my cake and he gets to lick the whipper. He takes after his Mom:-)

Alex realizes he is missing out on something and comes over to check out what is happening. Whenever we are cooking Evan always brings over his booster seat and has to stir and pour whatever we are making. What a good helper!

The Sit N Spin makes an appearance. Alex needs a little help to spin, but Evan can do it by himself. It has funky music if you press the button on top. They like that:-)

Alex doesn't really go fast enough to fall off, so I think he was just tired. He is learning to take turns..this is difficult for him.

He loves to sit in the chair in his room and look at his books. When his brother sees him sitting there he tries to join him and Alex does not like that. Notice in the last 3 pictures one of his socks is missing. I wonder why he didn't take the other one off? Silly kid:-) Doesn't it feel funny to have one sock on and one sock off? He probably likes it because I keep asking him..Where is your other sock Alex?

Wayzata Parade

Mom, Sue and Rex waiting for the parade to begin!

We are gonna watch a parade?

Westie's dressed as firemen!

We love listening to the band! Too bad there wasn't more than one band in this parade!

Evan calls a police car a siren.

I LOVE getting candy thrown at me during the parade.

Papa Dewey...thanks for carrying this chair down here for me! I think it fits just right:-)

Parade Highlights!

Grill tractor..pretty cool.

Do they think those balloons are going to lift up that car?

TRACTOR!

A camel..advertising for a chiropractor. Don't let your spine look like mine..clever.

Wayzata parade

Alex passed out in the wagon on the way back to the car after the
Wayzata parade. A beautiful day for a parade! We got bags of CANDY!

Birthday Cake!

Today Eric and Evan made me a birthday cake with our family traditional malt frosting. It was delicious:-) Evan ate a piece and Alex didn't eat any:-)

Sharing the cart at Jubilee

Scott B's for breakfast this morning and then we headed over to
Jubilee for some groceries. Good thing this cart doesn't have a
windshield!

September already? Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today is my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! The boys gave me some nice birthday cards when we got up this morning. Last Saturday night Eric and I went to see Tim McGraw at the State Fair(Eric got the tickets for my birthday). We've spent the last two nights on the boat. The weather was a little chilly, but we brought warm clothes and had a heater on board. Nighttime lows were in the mid 40's, so it would've been really chilly without a heater. Quite a difference from the upper 80's and 90's just a couple weeks ago. We came back home from the boat in time for nap time. After naps we did some shopping to get the boys some shoes and went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.

Me and my baby boys ready for bed!

The boys had some fun swinging on the tire swing out at the island.


Evan was having fun going down the slide:-) He is doing really well with his potty training. He had only a couple accidents at daycare last week and just one accident this weekend. During naptime we put him in a pull-up and he woke up both days from his nap to say he had to go potty and his pull-up was dry.

Both boys on the tire swing!

Alex is learning to climb the ladders on the rainbow play system. He needs a little help. He loves to get to the top and just smiles and laughs as he plays with the tic tac toe board and steering wheel. My baby is growning up!

Alex was helping me move beer and pop from the cooler to the fridge on the boat.

Alex also has fun going down the slide!
