Meet My Newest Lady Friend!

I gotta tell ya, I am one lucky man....

I have a BUNCH of buddies, and a BUNCH of gal pals!

Mom and dad were lucky enough to go visit Miss Adalyn Speer:

Isn't she pretty?  I can't wait until she's old enough to play!!

I also can announce that two more of my buddies were born!

On Saturday, Aunty Kristen had a healthy baby boy, Mason!

Here he is:

(Sorry, mom stole this from facebook since he lives in Thunder Bay)

He's the little brother of my friend Kaleb!

Up next:

Jacob!! He was born yesterday.

I don't have a picture yet though, but his mom and dad are Aunty Shannon and Uncle Brian.

We haven't been able to meet him because he lives in Minneapolis!

Lost Sheep to Shephard....

The other day mom and I went for a walk...well she walked and I sat in the stroller.

We went to visit Dad while he washed his truck.  I never thought it was such a big deal since I get to ride in his pickup all the time.

But I was VERY mistaken!  Did you know that my dad has another truck, it's SO super cool!

Dad hoisted me up and let me take the wheel.

How do I start this thing?

He has a window back here!

Ohhh he has a tv...which means a remote! My fave.

And a bed I can jump on!!

This was all way too cool.  Dad promised that once I get bigger he would take me with him on the road! Can't wait, I will keep eating my veggies so I keep growing!

Over & Out!

What CAN'T you deep fry?

Today I had another first...along with Mom! We went to our VERY first County Fair!

Before we could leave, we all had to get ready! Dad was doing something funny to his face...not sure what that was about, but I was intrigued.

Yahoo we are FINALLY here! It took so long that I even took a cat  nap!

First up...deep fried Milky Way and Oreos for the parents.

Dad really got into it.

"You're embarassing me dad."



So NOT fair!



Hah, they gave into my whining!

....and I think I'll take a few years off of trying this stuff again! What were they thinking!?

Dad wanted to be like the guy from Man vs Food today...he's cut off from the Food Network

Mom went with something she knew...beef kabobs

Finally after stuffing our faces we went to see some animals! First up were the cows....they were all groomed very nicely, but I thought they were kind of snobby

Then we saw the horses...

....they were everywhere!

What kind of a duck is that!

Hehe....

More over here....

....these were my favorite!

They even came in little sizes!

This next building was called Grandpa's barn...but I called it Opa's Barn :)

Mom was showing me how to milk a cow! Opa & Uncle Marty, I'm getting ready for when we come to visit next time!

These guys look soft....

.....and they kind of look like Fran from this view.

Oh, flowers!

Oh, & look, EARS! Is that you?

Nope, this must be Ears' grandpa, Norman, a mini Mule

I loved watching all the rides, too bad I'm not tall enough to go on any yet....maybe next year :)

Mom let me play one of her all time favorite fair games, PICK A DUCK!  She said she would play it at Hymer's Fall Fair...I was so nervous how I'd do!

....I got Nemo...can I get another one mom?

Dad tried to get me an Angry Bird...well its no surprise that he didn't make it to the big leagues with that arm and aim!

Phew, after a BUSY day, mom and I relaxed and I was in bed early :)



Here comes the bride....

Finally!!! The event of the summer! Mom and Dad got hitched :)  Man o man it's about time!

I had a blast! EVERYONE was there!

Here is mom & dad with Uncle Adam, Barry and Jon!  They all got to go on the short bus...but I got to go play with Kayla, so I win!

Here is a quick glimpse at our family picture...I am kind of burned out of taking pictures these days though!

Oma and I hung out at the reception

Here is mom and all her college friends! They haven't been together since Aunty Shannon's wedding in 2007

Deanna took this picture of the winery at night!

My biggest fans...mostly because they love as much as I love them! They were GREAT helpers allll weekend long!

Here is my Great Aunt's, Linda & Karen!

I danced with my second cousin, Olivia, man did she have some great break dance moves! Since we're related we kept it PG....obviously.

Here's dad and a bunch of dudes he went to college with...football players I will assume ;)

Here are some of mom's friends, and 3 friends of mine baking in their mommas' tummy's!  Ashley doesn't have a baby baking though...just thought I'd clarify :)

Our first dance as a family.

Uncle Adam and me hanging out post wedding festivities.

"Hey there Grandpa...have a little extra on that plate for me?"



WINNING! Don't worry mom, I didn't choke, I'm a big boy now :)



I brought Aunty Emily to my favorite thing when I'm at Grandma's & Grandpa's....

.....I showed Lily too....

.....and I told Grandpa that I REALLY REALLLY needed to go there....

Took some of my 2nd cousins to see the show!

.....and of course Oma took me to see my 2nd favorite puppy, Molly!  She's in a cage so she can never get away from me!

Oma & Tante Ag dragging me away from Molly...against my will of course, I could set up a tent and sleep there!

Opa loves puppies too, so he was happy to join me!

Busy weekend! I was very happy to see my mom & dad on Monday again!
