Xander Turns 2!!

 Xander J. turned two years old!

He absolutely loves all vehicles right now.

Trucks, Buses, Tractors, Trains, and Planes!

 Such an excited little boy!

 Brady and I gave him Woody from Toy Story,

a tractor book, a CAT dump truck, and an alphabet book.

 For dinner we went to the Mendon ballpark

with Grandma, Grandpa, Matthew and Lisa.

 His cute tractor birthday cake.

 He is smiling for the picture but he doesn't like cake.

Presents with Grandma Caylinn and Grandpa Jeff.

Happy Birthday Xander J.

Celebrating with the Shorts and the Nielsons

 Brady's family came up the weekend before Xander's

birthday to celebrate with him.

 We went to Old Grist for lunch and then

to a park to play.

 Xander liked having so many adults giving him attention.

 Then Xander got to open his presents before his nap!

 Yes, Zach is playing with the blocks in the background.

 We went to Angie's for dinner so Xander could

have pancakes. He had more fun playing in the

car and the water in the parking lot.

Thanks for coming up and celebrating!

Zoo Day

 Brady took the day off work so that we could 

go to the zoo. It was a very nice day and we loved it!

 Xander thought it was funny to sit on the elephant.

He wasn't smiling for the camera because he was

too distracted by everything that was going on.

 Xander likes to steal people's spots they were sitting in

and when he got to sit where a kid was just sitting he said

he "Stole da spot!."

 These two were my favorite animals there!

 The brown bear was having fun swimming in the water.

 Xander loves his Dada!

 Each time we go to the zoo we take this picture

to see how big Xander is getting.

He loves riding the carousel. He was having a hard time

being patient and waiting for his turn.

Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch

 Xander got to pick his pumpkins from my Dad's garden.

 A lot of them were as big as he is!

 Xander and Grandma!

 I love that my parents have little muck boots

for the grand kids to wear around.

 We had to use the tractor to get them to the front porch.

We counted over forty pumkins!

 Xander likes riding with Grandpa!

Shorts Family Pictures

 Rick and Julie wanted to have some family pictures taken

so we had Megan Muir Photography take them for us.

 We think that they turned out really cute!

 Xander and Dada!

 

How Big is Buddy J?

"So Big!"

 I like the lighting in this one.
