Catching up

Long time no blog...

Playdough at G&G Mc's House

Spiffed up for my cousins wedding.

The three highly mobile cousins at the zoo.

Helping Grandpa Mc open his birthday presents one tiny piece of paper at a time.  Then each little piece had to be put in the diaper genie that had to be hauled up from the basement.  Where does this little guy think this stuff up?

A couple photos from the Air Museum from a couple weeks ago.

Fall color and pictures up at the cabin in mid October.

Campfire pictures at night, pretty cool looking.

Pictures from my morning run along the trail.

Sorry No Pictures

I haven't taken much pictures this past two weeks because we were pretty busy.  Last weekend William and I headed to Minnesota for my cousin Chris's wedding.  It was fun, William had a great time playing with his second cousin Kylee (the flower girl) before and after the ceremony.  He danced his heart out with the bride, Amanda, and Kylee.

This past week was busy for the us, Adam was off at Volk Field for some training later in the week, and I had a big test and presentation for a certification at work.  Hopefully I passed so that the week long trip to Boscobel WI in June and the team I have been putting extra time in at work was for something.


Funny William and Adam sayings for the last couple months...

"Little caterpillars shouldn't fart in their cocoons", said Adam as William stunk up his "cocoon", which is really a sleeping bag, pretending to be a caterpillar changing into a butterfly before bed time.

"Maybe his middle name is Carnivorous", said William about his Great Great Great Grandfather he is named after.  We said that he had the same first and last name, but that we thought the middle name wasn't the same.  Adam and I said maybe it was Carnivorous, but we didn't think so.

"Only boys can go to the park by the lake", said William today.  So I stayed home and cooked dinner.  It is amazing how smooth that goes with no "help", I had dinner on the table and the dishes washed before they even got home.

William keeps talking about a boy as school named Greece.  We thought that was a really strange name so we kept asking him if it was Louis and kept getting no.  Finally we looked on the Leader day calendar and saw Reese.  Apparently his teacher Julienne also had trouble understanding until William went over an pointed to Reese in his class.  Not sure if it is normal speech development or if a speech pathologist is in our future.

Have a good week, hopefully more pictures next time.

Quarry Fun

Headed out to the quarry with Grandpa and Grandma S for some digger fun!

William loved the slingshot, but we need to work on overhand throws!

One of his digger books, say's "See how it stretches and scoops", living out the story!

Climbing the 30ft sand hill.

Big wheel race, need some practice.  I think there might be a big wheel in William's future.

Relaxing eating lunch on a BIG rock.

And our last fun, a dump truck ride.

Menomonie Park

William cramming himself into Murphy's Crate, unbelievable that he can still fit his whole body in there.

The weather was right, the light was right and I had my favorite lens on my camera.  So it was prime picture taking time today at the park...

Have a good labor day weekend, filled with fun.

1st Ball Game

Take me out to the ball game...I had a video but apparently it is too big to load.  So come visit and get the real live version of William singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" while playing the piano, or if he refuses the encore, watch the video.

We used some free tickets to the local Class A baseball team's game curtsey of a blood donation drawing.  It was way too hot, so we only lasted 4 innings, but William was soaking it all up (the game, and the treats).

Pretty sad photo of the three of us, but the best I could get at arms length.

William is super excited about our sunflowers finally opening. They are so tall!
