Reunion Adventures, Part I

We've had an eventful past several weeks. It has been a mixed bag of very fun and kinda hard, but I guess that is what life is all about. The beginning of our adventures was a quick road trip with Alicia's parents back to La Grande, Oregon (yes I was born in La Grand and married a LeGrand, a bit of foreshadowing?). My parents rented a mini van--which Wesley LOVED--so we could all drive together.

These boys did a great job on the trip!

Sorry, but I had to pot Fredrick's "Pooping is hard to do" face. It was just too funny and cute.

Fredrick loved to show Great-Papa how to drive the cars!

Great-Grandma was really good at reading all their favorite stories too!

We took a trip to a really fun park in La Grande. Fredrick was NOT shy about making new friends. Little flirt!

I was a bit horrified that he just took off and climbed on to some random dad's lap. He was aware it was a stranger; he just didn't care. 

 Both boys loved the slides.

 Wesley was able to overcome his apprehension of the swings with Daddy's help.

Fredrick having fun with Grandma!

We also took a really fun trip to a fire truck museum. Talk about every little boy's dream. They had all these cool antique fire engines, from a model T on up. 

 Wesley even got to meet a real life Mack! (If you know the movie Cars, you'll know why he was so excited.)

I love how these boys are such good friends.

We even got to see our cousin Sonia while we were there for a little bit!

Just chillin' on the way back.

Memorial Day Weekend: Federal Way

We went up for a quick visit to LeGrand's family this weekend. We finally met Clara (I pretty much stared at her the whole time, she is that beautiful) and had fun playing with cousins and visiting. We are looking forward to the family reunion coming up soon.

Trip to the Park

Yesterday we went to the park with some good friends. The weather finally decided not to disappoint, and we took full advantage. I even got a nasty sunburn.
Fredrick was a full time job chasing after. If he wasn't petting a friend's dog a bit too enthusiastically, he was off exploring all the places he shouldn't. Never mind there was a ton of play equipment and friends to entertain. Wesley is at a nice age where I can keep an eye on him without following him around to keep him from disaster. It was a fun (exhausting) day!

Our Friends Are Back

My boys were so excited to feed our little friends bread on our patio this morning. I'm glad they came back this spring, I thought maybe they weren't coming since it is later than last year. Now if they would only bring baby ducks, my life would be complete :)

Train Conductor

First word : choo choo

Still loves his trains.

Horsemen

Fredrick is a climber. Wesley never was, so this is a whole new challenge for me. Today I was on the computer when I heard this cute little, "hee haw, hee haw ." I looked up and Fredrick had climbed on the rocking horse by himself. Since his little legs don't even reach the bottom, not sure how he did it still. It was too cute not to capture. Wesley wanted his picture taken too.

Happy Easter

Spring is here, can you smell it? We celebrated Easter Saturday by enjoying the spring weather (long time coming in our part of the world)  out in Grandma and Papa's garden.  Then we dyed eggs (Wesley colored eggs, while I kept Fredrick from catastrophe) . Sunday we attended church which was lovely, and then we stuffed ourselves on a delicious Easter feast at Grandma's. Low key and perfect. Did I mention the girls trounced the boys at Rook?  It was a good weekend.
