A day at home...


Enjoying a smile at home with mom and dad...his most favorite place to be!

Car ride to Dilworth

He was so relaxed on our way into town for the parade, sucking his thumb, eyes half shut and a death-grip on his "candy bucket"...it was the funniest thing! I busted a gut when I turned around because he was so quiet...and then he started to giggle. He's so much fun!!

Dilworth MN Loco Days Parade

August 1st we headed to town to watch a parade...one of the best I've ever seen!
We got free hotdogs, chocolate milk and freezies! What a great day!!!

Dad and Keats

Enjoying the Parade and getting his bucket ready to pick up candy!

CHoo Choo!


I Love a Parade!


OH BOY!

We watched these old geezers do a little bit of trick riding, one tipped over and minutes later another skidded and squealed his tires to a stop. Mabye they should have tried bicycles?

Rather Large Shopping Cart


Watching the Bobber

Did my bobber go down yet mom? I think it did.
Oh wait, I'm bored...do you wanna fish with my pole?

Cake anyone?

This was Keaton's idea~I said, "What would you like on your birthday cake? Spongebob? Bob the Builder? Cars (again)...? No, mom, I want Ice Road Truckers...so that's what we went with!

Wow~THREE!

There's my little baby blowing out his "Ice Road Truckers" cake...
