saturday night fun.

Justin's 30+ birthday was Saturday.  Michelle whipped up a fabulous picnic, Mackinaw Valley Vineyards had a great band playing on their lawn and these little boys showed us all how to dance.

our evening entertainment

fort bible

over the weekend, kurt and davestorm started to build a fort.  there is still plenty to do, but brody is already over the top excited!  now we just need the trees to the west to grow some more for more evening shade. 

Side stepping.

He's walking more than crawling these days!

state fair 2011

we spent the day at the state fair today.  brody and riley got to meet lots of animals.  riley was content viewing from a distance, but brody became more and more brave the longer we were there.  he ended up milking a cow before we called it a day.

off to grammy's house

randomness

 brody started sleeping in a twin size bed over the weekend.  he calls it his big boy bed and is pretty excited to show it off to just about everyone.  i only have one set of twin sheets right now so when he peed out over the weekend, he ended up sleeping in our bed.  sheets are on our shopping list for the weekend.

 yep, they still ride on the lawn mower for entertainment. 

brody likes to build boats and airplanes out of the cushions from the sofa's and chairs.  riley was enjoying their 'boat ride' so much he about fell asleep!

riley likes corn on the cob.  he had his first piece on his birthday and hasn't stopped eating it since.  watermelon is another favorite food right now as well.  he took some steps tonight to get to aunt helen for watermelon.  six or seven steps at a time are all he takes before he realizes he is walking and plops down.

brody is working on potty training.  he peed on my mom's kitchen floor and thought he should still get a special treat.  we had to rewind and discuss where we can and can't go to the bathroom again. 

kurt flew via helicopter to beck's hybrids plant in indiana today.  brody was pretty excited to see the pictures and video kurt took.

brody had lettuce and some salad dressing for breakfast...better than a donut i guess.

and that concludes some tuesday night randomness.

 Is he not adorable?



More Wedding

 The Cowden girls!

Mr. Will...his outfit matched all the other little boys.  He may have stole the show from Courtney with all his cuteness?

Brody was traumatized when he accidentally let go of his first balloon.  It was soon okay whenever everyone else sent their balloons into the sky though.

Check Shutterfly for more pictures.

Happy Honeymooning to the Newlyweds!

THEY ARE FOUND!

Kurt asked Brody where his Crocs were this morning.  Well, the little stinker finally remembered.  He had put them in Kurt's "orking boots"!  Sure enough, there they were just waiting for someone to find them.  One shoe in each boot.
