Have I Mentioned . . .

How much this kid loves corn on the cob - it is a little ridiculous.

8 on 10 - August

Guess I wasn't feeling very inspired . . . . I managed to get 8 shots in anyway. Enjoy!

The hydrangea plant Ryan and I received as a wedding gift 6 years ago!

Sean found a bag of wild rice in the cupboard (which he can now open) and had his own recipe in mind . . . .

lunch time

One of Sean's favorite games, take the ziplocks out of the drawer, and put them collectively somewhere else.

watering plants for my parents

taco night!

Sean's strong man!

back home

We just got home from quite the vacation to see my sister and her family, then onto spend a couple weeks with Ryan's family. Sean had a fabulous time both places! Thank you all for your hospitality!!!

Sean and cousin Addison at the local water park
Ahhhhhh!

This is a video of Sean riding Maria - this was his first horse back ride and he LOVED it! Sean's cousin Rylan was leading Maria for him.

Sean was a big help at Grandma and Grandpa's barn
Grandma got Sean his own little chair to have at the barn - he really like it. This picture is of Who (KR Streakin Who) visiting Sean in his chair. Who was one of Sean's favorite horses.
Sean's play pen. Union Station (the horse) in the background.

Sean also got his own little swing to hang on the horse walker - don't worry we didn't put him on there while the horses were on. Can you tell he was teething?????

Ryan got to have some fun also (here on Hawk). He galloped for his dad which means he exercised the race horses. It was the first time he had done this and I think he is hooked. Not to mention he did a great job. Notice not alot to hang onto there.
We visited a raptor center which was fun since Sean loves birds - we might have scared him a little though, with being so close to them all. Below he is signing bird - there is a huge golden eagle in the background.I think he likes them better from a distance.Sean saying goodbye to Cartel And not wanting to leave Grandma. We had a great time!

10 on 10 July

Yesterday Sean and I went to IKEA to grab a few things. I hadn't been since I had Sean and it is waaaay more fun with a kid! I think he had more fun than I did.
The kids section had this teddy bear chair - Sean loved it
Then I asked him if he could give the teddy bear a hug:

I let Sean pick out a toy at IKEA - the one he chose (literally, he would not let me put it back on the shelf) was this wooden abacus. boy genius?!??!?!
Later that day at my parents Sean enjoyed a lot of watermelon - he got so dirty we brought out a tub of water to wash him off, and he crawled right in it. I think he thought it was a mini bathtub just for him.

A week ago Ryan and I went to visit our friends Jaymie, Justin and Eli - they took us to this great park/farm near their house that had goats, chickens, bunnies, horses, and a pig - with 14 piglets! Both Sean and Eli really enjoyed the animals. Here are some pics:

This is Sean trying to move his nose like a bunny rabbit. Sean and I hanging out today:
He loves to clean . . . lucky me :)

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!
