Binder Park Zoo

This zoo is awesome because you can get face to face with and feed giraffes.  Awesome until they blow snot on you.

Happy Trails and Sweet Dreams

We took Buzzy on his first solo horseback ride while we were in Michigan.  Was he ever excited!  Kept turning around to flash me a big grin and a thumbs up.  We had an extensive discussion about listening to mommy and the guide and behaving so he'll be safe.  Buzzy was doing awesome... pointing out wild carrot and cabbage moths...

Newtie got to ride shotgun.

20 minutes into the hour long ride, Buzzy seemed really relaxed, but then didn't listen when the guide told him to lean back in his saddle.  Well, it was because he had fallen asleep.  On the horse.  While it was moving.  I had to give Newt to the guide and carry Buzzy out.

Lake Michigan

Sweetwater, by Buzzy

The Herd

Buzzy and Newty have been running around Sweetwater with a literal pack of cousins.  I'm still quite a bit nervous that one of them will wander into the neighboring forest... but for now, they just show up with the group, demanding PB&J, Koolaid, barrel drinks and spaghetti before disappearing off into a cloud of dust...

Super Papa

Newty wanted nothing more than to walk around holding on to Super Papa...

Kissing Cousins

Newtie couldn't get enough...

The Liberty Belle

A B17 came into town and we took the boys to see it.  They were excited to see the same kind of plane that Super Papa flew in.  Can't wait to show him the video!

Double M Rodeo

Holy Cow!  We have rodeos up here!

Here they are doing something to a cow:

Ponies at the Rodeo

Buzzy sez:

"Hot Pudge"

Tough Guy

It's really difficult to look tough in tae kwon do class when your Buzz Lightyear underpants are showing through your white uniform pants.  At least it wasn't the Elmo underpants...

Captain Vegetable

Six months ago, you would've had to fight to get Buzzy to eat a squash.  Today, we picked one out of the garden, cut it up, cooked it together and he ate the entire thing.  He declared it to be 'my best vegetable ever.'

Sweetest. Boy. Ever.

Buzzy came home from the last day of preschool with a photo frame with his name on it.  In it, a picture of him holding a sign that said:
The thing I liked the most about school was:
Isabella
But that's not the girl he usually says he likes...so, I asked him about it.  My sweet, 3.5 year old son said, "Bella was sad and crying and I wanted to make her happy."

Watch out!

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Mother's Day

Roll over Jim Henson

Newty is deathly afraid of puppets. Shreiking-running-away-scared. Particularly of mustachioed pirate puppets.
