Summer Fun

Steven had fun fishing with his playgroup friends. Although he only got his worm eaten a couple of times, some of his friends did catch some fish.
Here he is on his new scooter (which he likes a lot better then his bike for some reason). The handle bar goes up, so Duane and I took it for a little spin as well:)

look at that smile!

Food in my mouth?

Why should I eat my food when it is so much more fun to play with it?
I think we may be coming to the end of just gobbling down the green beans!

If my brother is getting his picture taken, that means I need mine taken too!! (or at least squeeze into the background)

Hocking Hills

Duane had a week off so we were able to do a few things we have been wanting to do. We were finally able to make it down to Hocking Hills and it turned out to be a really nice day (especially in the shade!)
Steven had fun in the water until a couple of dogs got in and then he tried bolting out of the water so fast that he kept falling down and got soaked. Once he knew the dogs couldn't get him he thought it was pretty funny.
Steven is supposed to be showing how strong he is by holding up this tree
I don't know if you can see it, but for some reason a butterfly kept flying around Steven, he was pretty excited.

On the move!

I meant to post these a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a chance to until now. Andrew has been on the move crawling everywhere and pulling himself up. He is determined and has a quick grab so we keep having to move things out of reach higher and higher! Steven is having a lot of fun with him crawling (until Andrew touches one of his toys of course) and loves to be the boss and keep him safe by copying me and saying "no, no Andrew" or pulling him back by his legs to keep him away from something.

Birthday #4! Tribute to Steven

Just me smiling in my fat days:)
Birthday #1
Birthday #2

Here is the big 4 year old-I can't believe how fast time has flown by! We realized Steven was only 3 months old when we moved from Seattle and Duane went back to school! My new bike (it reminds me of the days of Julie's "New Moves"!)
For some reason I wanted a dog cake-so here is the best my mom could do!

Why I love Grandma and Grandpa's!

Steven loves Grandma and Grandpa's, he had lots of fun while we were in Utah-somehow he got lucky with both sets of Grandparents owning a tractor:)

More Utah

Steven had a lot of fun playing with "Cousin Nancy" (It used to be "Baby Nancy", but as Steven informed us, she is not a baby anymore!) They really seemed to get along-without naps and everything! He was sad to leave
