Happy 85th B-Day!

Yesterday, was our Great-Grandma Miller's 85th birthday party. Unfortunately, Mommy never took the camera out of the bag to take any pictures at the party to share everyone, but Uncle Luke did! So, whenever we get some pics, we will post them.
An elephant cake was what was asked for. I am pleased with how it turned out, despite the one ear kept falling off! Oh, well.
We hope you had a wonderful 85th birthday Grandma Miller!!!

Groceries

I like to help Mommy with the groceries, by taking them out and tasting them for her.
This definitely tastes different on the outside then whats inside, but it so fun to chew the label off the container! YUM!!!

Lil' Kitchen Helper

"Cannon-lope"

First, scoop out the seeds.
Now, take a bite!
Mommy said she likes the smell of fresh cucumbers. I was trying to take a sniff, but I really didn't smell anything.
These are some of our tomatoes and cucumbers from our garden. I am not a big fan of cucumbers, but I hear that they taste really good!

I Think I Have an Idea...


And the sibling torture begins.
(OK, actually it was Mommy's idea to stuff me in this little box!)

"Mommy, let's try to stuff as many peek-a-blocks in the bin as possible!"


Poor Amelia! Our little girl was a good sport. Thanks for allowing Mommy and I some fun at your expense!

Tim's Back Home on the Farm

Here is Daddy, Uncle Chris and I hanging out by the "big" red tractor.

Uncle Chris is feeding Buddy, the 900 lb boar some corn with stalks and all!


Uncle Jim was trying to get Amelia to walk all by herself or at least get her feet use to touching grass.

Yes, it is me on the tractor again, but this time Uncle Peter was with me!

Grandma Judy was trying to comfort Amelia, while Mommy was trying to get a bite to eat. Mommy said she was being a stinker!

You may be wondering where the pictures of Tim are, well Mommy for what ever reason did not take any. So, she will have to wait until she gets some pictures from Grandma Judy. Sorry Tim!!!

We had a wonderful day at the farm welcoming Tim home from Iraq. Hopefully, he will be home for a long time!

Just Can't Get Enough of Those Trains!

Of course all I wanted to do today was play with my trains. Mommy helped me set up this track formation while Amelia was napping this afternoon. Since the baby was sleeping, I was able to play without any interruptions.

Let's see... I want this one and that one... there are just so many to choose from! I guess I will take one of each please!!!

Day Out with Thomas!!!


THOMAS!!!


"Why, it's Sir Topham Hatt!" t

These are our friends Kristy and Andrew. They are visiting Sir Topham Hatt! Andrew and I were a frightened of him at first, but we kind of warmed up to him to at least allow for a picture.


ALL ABOARD!!!



"Tickets, Please."


We took a ride on the real Thomas train!!!


Choo! CHOO!!!

This was my very first train ride, and boy was it awesome!!!

"Do we have to get off already?!"




A Thomas Train made out of Legos!!!
"Cheese!!!"

There were tables of Thomas trains that we could play with. Andrew and I could have played there all day long if our Mommies would have let us!



We even got to go on a electric trolley car.

We had so much fun spendng the day with Thomas. I can't wait to go again and show Amelia and Daddy all of the cool things to see and do at the Train Museum next year!

Good News, Bad News

Good News...

Amelia cut another tooth yesterday! She has 5 teeth now! Three on the top and two on the bottom!

Bad News...


James has Strep! Our poor little guy had a temp of 103.1 yesterday morning!

The doctor believes he has the beginings of Strep. Yesterday, he stayed in Mommy and Daddy's bed all day feeling very yucky. Today, he is doing much better! So far no fever and he even ate some food this morning! Let's hope that the worst is over!

The Renaissance Faire

Sunday was yet again a gorgeous day to enjoy outside activities. Our parents met up with our friends Heather, Eric and Joshua (Joshua is the handsome baby to my left) and headed to the Ren Faire.
There are so many things to do and see at the Faire. We saw neat shows, people dressed in cool costumes, people dressed in weird/scary costumes, unique rides, colorful ribbons and some awesome animals, just to name a few! The food there is yummy, too!
"Hey look! There are en-a-fants behind us!"
This guy did some crazy tricks and made a lot of funny jokes that of course us kiddos had no clue what they meant. We clapped and laughed at him anyways.
This was my favorite part! There was a huge boat that we could climb and run all over. I ran up and down and all around for a long, long time! I was very sad when Mommy and Daddy said we had to go so we could see a show. Once we met up again with the rest of our group, the Falcon show had already started. We saw these big birds swoop down and do neat tricks as their trainer taught us many facts about the lives of falcons.
Amelia, Josh and I had fun playing on the blanket while the weirdest show was going on. I not sure if it was supposed to be a "battle" or just a bunch of people with sticks/swords running and hitting these scary looking guys. The grown-ups seemed to be just as confused as we were. Anyways, everyone had a nice time playing and chatting on the picnic blanket in the shade.
This was Josh and Amelia's first time at the Faire, and I think they both had a great time!
Stay tuned for more pics on a slide show.

A Bubble, Blowing Boy

Again, the weather has been so awesome the past several days, we continue to enjoy backyard time together. So, Friday afternoon James wanted to blow some bubbles all by himself.


Take a deep breath in and...
Blow!!!
James thought the bubble juice was rather tasty, too! I think he just liked seeing the look of our Mommy's disgusted face she kept making every time he attempted to suck on the bubble wands! Silly James!!!

The Bucket Game

This is one of my favorite games I like to play by myself, it is called "In the Bucket, Out of the Bucket."
"In the Bucket!"
"Out of the bucket." You really must try this sometime!
