Random fun shots

Last week, I took Sean to Miller Park zoo....the merry go round isn't operating yet, but he still had fun pretending.

Fun profile shot with fun sunglasses...

ok seriously AJ didn't look like this when he left the house this morning!!!

AJ pulled a chair to the fridge tonight, pushed the correct button on the "smart shopper" (electronic grocery list) and said really loud..... CARS FRUIT SNACKS.

I took Sean and and AJ to Carmi on Friday and we planned out some action packed fun. On Friday we had Dimaggio's pizza with Brett, Sherri, Rachel, Fran, Grace and Walker and then watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Then on Saturday we headed to Brett/Sherri's farm for some horse feedin' and tractor riding.

Sean loved to climb up high on the hay wagon!!!

AJ's favorite horse was Bella!!!

Both boys had a lot of fun petting the horses...

Sean used to be scared of horses but not any more!!!

He even fed Bella a mint....AJ did too!!!

AJ lovin' on the horses

Sean back to the hay wagon!

AJ running on the 'mountain' as they called it!!!

Sean on the mountain of HAY!!!!

John Deere tractor ridin' with Brett!!!

Sean driving with AJ crusing along too....

SUPER FUN!

and the grand finale of the day was a golf cart ride at David's with an impromptu fishing excursion which landed Sean his first ever fish......a fun little blue gill!

SUPER PROUD OF HIS FISH..... at the end of the day, Sean said the most fun parts were tractor riding and catching the fish. thanks Carmi friends for all the fun!!!

backyard fun.....FINALLLLLLLLLY!!!

we FINALLLLLLLY got a warm day and so we really enjoyed time in the backyard. Sean played kick the ball, bounce on the ball, throw the ball.....had TONS of fun!

AJ wanted to break out the Nemo sprinkler and Sean even tried to get the hose out for him. it was only 64 degrees.....

Both boys loved getting muddy and AJ was slightly jealous that Sean could climb higher than him in the tree.

Sean played hide and go seek with me....his hiding skills could use some work!

the slide was the big hit of the day....mostly because there was MUD at the bottom. BIG FUN had by all......COME ON SPRING !!!!!

Shrimp Boil/Playdate 2010

Chicago family (minus Paul who was stuck in New York) came down on Saturday for a shrimp boil which Sean affectionately called a playdate. Both he and AJ put Uncle Mike and Aunt Carol to the test to make sure they are prepped to be grandparents. They PASSED but I hear they were worn out the rest of the weekend.
