A Birthday and Apple Picking

This past Friday was Will's birthday. It was so much fun to see his excitement when he opened his presents and blew out his candles. He is growing up so fast!

Every time Will opened a gift, he said "WOW!"Will got a tent for his birthday and loves it! Here he is just chillin' in it. The next day we went to Apple Jacks to go apple picking. We had a blast!

Will really liked the rabbit statue.

He also loved feeding the chickens.

Will had a good time opening presents.

Will had to use both hands when he picked apples.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great, long weekend together as a family. Here are some of the things we did.

We went to the state fair and saw goatsand birds (I think the bird building was Will's favorite part of the fair).We checked out the cowsand ate the outside of the corn dog (he wouldn't touch the inside).Had cheese curdsdrank chocolate milk,and tried to eat mini donuts, but was too tired.And of course, went down the giant slide! We had a great time!The following day we went to the zoo. Will had fun looking at a bunch of animals. Here he's looking at some wolves or "dogs" as he liked to call them.

There were also wild boars and a ton of other animals.

Here we are waiting for a bird show to start.
In case you were wondering...Josh went to the fair and zoo also. He just liked sleeping more than looking at everything.

Will loves playing with Josh. He is such a loving older brother.

Here is Will "playing" with Josh. Josh puts up with so much :)

Beach Week 2009

Another beach week has come and gone and we had a FABULOUS time! The weather was perfect even though there were threats of a hurricane and a tropical storm. Here are a few pictures to try and some up the week.

The entire clan.
Randy and his brothers BJ and Tom, and sister Stephanie and her son Mack. Randy and his parents. Thanks Cindy and Rick for another great week! Can't wait till next year!

Grandpa and all the grand kids (minus Josh). Can you tell which kid has my skin coloring? :)

It was so much fun watching Will and Mack play together. They are pretty cute together.

These two loved hiding behind the coolers and also looking out the window for birds.

Let's play tag!

Where's Mack, mimi? (That is what Will called grandma.)There he is!

Josh just chillin in his car seat.

Josh doing what he did most of the week--sleeping!

Will loved playing in the sand. He was always covered head to toe in sand.

Will ready to go swimming. This is one of the few times Will wore his swim suit. He preferred to run around in his diaper.

Will's favorite thing to do at the beach was play in the sand. His second favorite thing was to put sand on other people. :)

Will loved running up and down the beach. I wonder how far he could have run had we not stopped him.
