A Perfect Day at the park!

It was a perfect day for a park visit!  The weather has been so hot this summer we haven't gotten to play outside as much as I hope we would.  So on this fine morning, we went to the park.  I called up Andi and she met us there with the boys.

 

Mason is getting pretty quick with the walker!

 Ryan is a MONKEY!!

 My attempt at some more 11 month pictures....failed!

 The tennis courts were a great place for Mason to crawl around on.  I put pants on him not only because there was a little breeze, but because I knew he would want to get down and crawl around.

Sometimes you play baseball on tennis courts too!

11 month photo shoot

I tried really hard to get a few pictures of Mason this month....oh boy what a disaster!  I no longer can take pics by myself.  Someone else will have to be there to help.  I knew I wanted him outside and standing up for the pics....never get what I want! Ha ha  here is how they turned out....

 

There Last three were the best I could get, no good smiles, but I guess this is how I will remember Mason's attitude at 11 months!

Never dull on Ross Street

 

There is always something going on on Ross Street!  Today they were repairing the street.  There were backhoes, dump trucks, and even a roller helping out.  These boys love trucks!!!!!

11 months

Oh my little one how can you be 11 months already????? 21 lbs and eating like a little pig you are sure to catch up to the other boys soon!  YOu are moving everywhere, and get so frustrated when mommy puts up the gates.  You hate being "caged" in.  You start walking along furniture this month and pushing a walker around.  Only 1 more month and I am sure you will have this walking thing down pat. 

Taking your 11 month pictures were no easier than you 10 month!  YOu were all over the place and we had to do 2 different photo shoots to get a decent picture.

You have the best laugh in the world! You laugh the most when you are tired, you sure get the sleepy sillies!  You sometimes laugh so hard that you start to fall backwards.  But most of the time you catch yourself and that makes you laugh harder. 

We only have one more month of taking these pictures.  Not sure yet what to do for your next set of pictures.  I would like to continue though, its sure is fun looking back and seeing how you have grown!

 

 

 Planning your first birthday party has been a lot of fun, I am just not sure I am ready for it to be here!

Fair Time

I love the County Fair!  I love going to the Motocross and Demo derby!!!  Last night we went to the Antique Tractor pull.  It was Mason first time to the fair.  He just sat and watched everything.  Taking it all in.  It was a little warm but we got a nice breeze every once in a while.

Today we went back out to the fair.  Andrea helped me take the boys out so we could see the animals.  At some point doing the time out there all 3 boys starting crying when we got close to the animals. 

 Mason checking out the pigs.  We even dressed like a farmer. 

(at the parade we said something about that the man driving the tractor was a farmer, and Jacob said he isn't wearing overalls!)

 Brody checking out the sheep.

 Case looking at the goats.

 Mason and Brody looking at the pigs.

 Mason wasn't sure what to think of them.  Yes he is a city boy through and through!

 This pig was just to "cute" not to take a picture of.

A few more pigs on our way out.

The cattle weren't there yet, and they were showing the poultry so the barn was too crowded for us to go inside.
