The tasty outdoors

I love being outside playing in the grass.
This sure is tasty. I knew something was missing at lunch time.
Now I can make my escape while no one is looking.

Rocks are so tasty Aunt Diana. A little grass to go with my rock makes it that much better.
"What" I'm not doing anything....

Winter Park

We were able to squeeze in a quick trip to Winter Park while Emma was visiting before school started. William enjoying his trip down the mountain on the Alpine slide.

Grandpa and Joseph took the chair lift up to the top of the mountain. Joseph loves to do things with his grandpa.

William and Emma are waiting for a trip down the Alpine slide.

Last fishing trip of the summer

Tasha and Natalie show off their prized catches of their camping and fishing trip with their Dad.

Boy Scouts

William has earned his 2nd and 1st class in Boy Scouts. We are very proud of him. He is about half way done with his Star class. He is well on his way to Eagle.

He's walking

My nephew Joseph is walking and into everything. He is so proud of himself and I get a big kick out of watching him smile everytime he takes off towards the front door.

Joseph loves to play with his legos. His favorite thing is to pull them out of the box and he is learning to toss them.

School! ☺☻

Hello this is William i started school today and it was one of the longest days of my life. I was counting the minutes as soon as i got there. This year they seperated our home bases by gender but the classes are the same this year they are making so not that school. it is more like high school

1st post

After seeing all these cute and fun blogs and being nudged a little I have decided to start my own blog. Having all teenagers I'm not sure how much I will have to blog but I do have some cute nieces and a nephew so I will probably have a lot of them.
