Fall Trip to Iowa

This past weekend I got to take a fun trip to see my Grandparents in Iowa. My Uncle Brian and Aunt Beth came too, so the whole family was there!

We went to a neat pumpkin farm and I got into some trouble...

Here I am shopping for gourds.
They had a neat "sand" box that was filled with corn kernels. It was a lot of fun and I didn't even try to put that many of them in my mouth!
Look at these turkeys...
I love pumpkins...
We got to go on a hayride around the farm...
And I went on lots of tractor rides at Grandpa's house...

My Baptism

I was so happy to be Baptized on September 23rd...what a special day!

Here's the whole group: my parents, Pastor Marty and my godparents Aunt Beth & Uncle Brian. Thanks for such a special day!

I love Apples, Yes I do, I love Apples, How 'bout you?

A few weeks ago I got to go to a neat apple orchard with my favorite people...my parents and all my grandparents!! What a fun day!
This is me with Grandpa O...people say we look alike!
And here's me with my Grandma Judy...that hay ride was so much fun! As you can see, I've mastered the art of pointing and I now point to everything in site just so you know that I see it.

First Haircut!!

Today I got my very first haircut. Kisha, the lady who cuts Mommy's hair, gave me a very badly needed trim today.



...still fuzzy, but much more manageable!

Before my haircut this morning, I had a fun adventure with a basket of socks. For some reason, I think socks are hysterical. So while Daddy was watching me this morning he thought it would be fun to put me IN the sock basket. He was right...what a riot!!

Grafton ND - What a Fun Place to BE!

We had the chance to spend Labor Day weekend in the fun town of Grafton, North Dakota where my Grandma & Grandpa Evens live. It was such a nice and relaxing weekend...

We spent a lot of time in my Grandma's beautiful backyard. I've heard a lot about her gardening skills, but to see her flowers in person was really a treat!

This picture is of me and my parent's friend Rob. We got to have lunch with Rob before he left for his worldwide adventure to southeast Asia. He is touring the world on his own and photographing and blogging along the way (just like me!). To check out his travels, go to roamingrob.com.

A highlight of my trip to Grafton was when we went out to my grandparents farm. The land has been in my family for generations so it was very neat to spend time out there. My grandparents rent the land to farmers who farm sugar beets, potatoes and many other delicious things!

Thanks for a fun weekend Grandma & Grandpa - I can't wait to visit again soon!!

Brian's Welcome Home Party

I know it's been a long time since my last post...sorry. My Mom hasn't given me much computer time lately because she's been working a lot on the computer. But I finally got some internet time (my parents think I'm sleeping right now...shhh don't tell them!)

Anyways, these pictures should have been posted about a month ago! We went to Chicago on August 18th for Uncle Brian's Welcome Home Party. We stayed with my best friend Caden and his parents that weekend...what fun!!

This is Caden and me hanging out in my ride - we had a lot of fun rolling around Downers Grove the whole weekend in my wagon (Thanks Grandpa!). I kept trying to steal Caden's snacks, but other than that we got along great!

Each morning we took the wagon up town for coffee & treats. Yum!
Caden was also kind enough to share his bath tub with me. Our moms said we'll be embarassed of this picture when we're older, but it's cute now!
This is a picture from Beth & Brian's party. In addition to their welcome home event, they also renewed their wedding vows. We were inside for the ceremony, but luckily the rain stopped for the backyard party.

Uncle Brian's Home!!

Hip Hip Hooray...Uncle Brian is home from Iraq!! I got to meet him last Saturday when we were in Chicago. I love you Uncle Brian - I'm so glad you're back!
