Me and Uncle Jon

Yesterday we went to Uncle Jon's and Aunt Patty's to help Grandma and Grandpa celebrate their 44th Anniversary. .....Just like all of the other times we get together, it was fun and we shared the football game, good food and my toys.


Everyone likes to play with me so it is fun fun fun.

Before I forget, I want to show you the flowers Grandma got for her anniversary...after that, I will tell you about the BEST thing that happened.
Here are Grandma's flowers from Uncle Jon and Aunt Patty.






Now for the good stuff......After dinner, we went out to play in the snow.


My Mom, Aunt Patty, Uncle Jon and me. Mostly it was Uncle Jon and me and of course Bucky.


He is my friend and also Uncle Jon's dog. We went sledding!!! It was so much fun.

Then Uncle Jon let me see the tractor. He let me sit on it and someday when I'm bigger, he will let me find out what that lever is for.



I guess you can see that I wasn't kidding. It was a really fun day!!

Hope Grandma and Grandpa had as much fun as I did.

An Evening With Daddy

Hello Grandma........Just wanted to share some pictures of how Daddy and I spend almost every evening. He is in charge of my bath so here we are just after my bath. Then we do a bunch of playing until we get tired. And then its time to go to sleep.

Well at least one of us is sleeping. I really love my Daddy...he is a sweetie.

Another Worthy Christmas Photo

Just rounded up one more photo Kori and Henry and I would like to share. We are a happy threesome waiting for the last of our group to arrive before Christmas festivities begin.

Grandma, See My Half Year Photos

Hi Grandma,




Mom and Dad
took me
to have
my 6 month photos
taken.













I hope you enjoy them.






Hugs and Kisses......Kori

Grandma.....Please Hurry!

Kori and Henry have been waiting patiently for me to get the Christmas pictures ready so they can tell you about our Christmas. Christmas was in Roseville, MN.
Kori...Christmas was at my house and my Mom and Dad got the house pretty and cooked a whole wonderful dinner. It was pretty exciting to see our tree with the presents underneath and then more presents arrived with Grandpa and Grandma. Soon after Uncle Tom and Aunt Emily arrived with Henry Thomas. There was so much excitement and hugs and kisses.
Henry Thomas....After a really long and scenic ride, we arrived at Uncle Paul's house. Kori and Charlie were waiting to play with me. Their Christmas tree had all red lights and bulbs, it was very pretty. Almost everyone was there...wait a minute....Uncle Jon isn't here yet but he is do to arrive very soon and thats good cause I'm hungry and everything smells good.

After a great dinner was enjoyed by all it was time for presents. The smile of the day was that Tom and Emily had been telling Henry Thomas that their tree and the presents under it were to enjoy looking at but not to touch. When it came time to open the gifts, we had a bit of a time getting Henry Thomas to touch his gifts so we had to help him tear open the paper and get him started.

Kori.....So many new toys
and cute clothes.









There were many books and and lots and lots of puzzles.











Henry Thomas.....


Toys that make music...
drums and a saxaphone
like Uncle Jon used to play.








Big Trucks......... and

Tools complete with a

tool belt and gloves.


Aunt Patty and Uncle Jon gave me the tools.













Here Aunt Patty is helping me
put on the work gloves so I can
be the Tool Guy.













Kori....After things settled down a bit, I got to play with Henry Thomas and our new toys.
















Then it was time for a bottle and Aunt Emily
held me and we had some together time.













Henry Thomas....Grandma says
her best two presents are right
here on her lap....
I think she means me and Kori
as she is bubbling over and
keeps hugging us.

Grandpa looks like he is having a
great time too.

















And so the very busy and exciting day was coming to an end. Sleepy children and pleased and satisfied adults were thinking about relaxing and just visiting.
As the saying goes:

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight! (sigh)

Boy I Just Love Birthdays

This time it is Uncle Jon's birthday and we have gone out to eat again. It is so much fun to help celebrate someones birthday. I get to try so many new tastes. This is a picture of Uncle Jon and Aunt Patty before we had our dinner.
After dinner we visited and pretty soon it was getting time to go. I had fun with everyone and hated for the party to end. Here I am giving Grandma a goodby kiss. She said it was the sweetest most gentle kiss on the eyelids she had ever received. I like giving them and she sure likes getting them.

Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's

Here we are at our Grandma's house and the table is set for dinner. It smells great.


















Kori and I are sitting with my Mom (who is also Aunt Emily) waiting to be called to eat. We are going to have turkey and all of the yummy stuff that goes with it.







After dinner we are going to go to a tree farm and ride on a horse drawn wagon out into the fields to choose a Christmas Tree.



We, me and Kori, are not sure what this is about but some one will explain it to us

Here we are waiting for the wagon and the horses. It is very exciting.
Grandma is holding me, or trying to, and the horses are coming.


















My Dad put me on his shoulders so I could see better. Sorry, no one took any pictures of the horses...but they were "Big" and their names were "Ding", "Dick" and "Doc", I think. After riding on a bumpy lane for awhile we got off at a field of trees that looked good to everyone.

My Dad explained to me that it was my job to find the "perfect" tree for our family. I thought they all looked perfect. I looked for Kori to help me but she had gone off with her Mom and Dad in search of their "perfect" tree.














So, I started looking
















and pretty soon I found the one for us.


















My Dad sawed it down so we could take it home.

Meanwhile.....Uncle Jon and Aunt Patty found their "perfect" tree. They sure look happy.

















Grandpa helped Uncle Jon saw it down so we would be ready when the horses came back to pick us up on the wagon.

We saw the horses coming back so hurried to the lane with our trees. Hey there were Uncle Paul, Aunt Sarah and Kori. They had found a perfect tree too. We got on the wagon and had a ride back to the warming house/gift shop. What a fun time we had.

After getting the trees, we went back to Grandpa's. We had walked around enough that we now had room in our tummy for some dessert.

Yummy homemade apple and pumpkin pies, cranberry bread and cookies.

Warm drinks and dessert, I can hardly wait..

This is Grandpa and Kori and Dad and me. Can you tell we've had our dessert?

Grandma is enjoying holding Kori while Paul and Sarah visit with Grandma.
Everyone is getting ready to go home.
What a perfect way to finish a day I will remember for
lots of us being together,
eating turkey and getting the tree.
What a nice way to celebrate Thanksgiving!

Grandma's Visit

Hello everyone...it's me Kori Jean...I'd like to tell you about my Grandma's visit. My Mom had to go to Colorado to take care of her Grandma, so my Grandma came for a visit to take care of me and my Dad.

Here I am taking a nap so Grandma could take one too......I think she needed one..... but pretty soon..... I was awake again and..... ready to play.

The next really fun thing we did was take a tubby. My Dad usually bathes me so he showed Grandma the way we do it.....the way I like it.... so Grandma got to bathe me. We had a splashing good time!
After I was dressed again it was time for a bottle and more play time. I can't decide what I like the best. Food, bath or play. I have a pretty good life. Plenty of hugs and kisses too.

Amazing Three Generations

Everyone thought it amazing how much the Grandpa to be (Henry) and the Daddy to be (Tom) looked alike at about 18 months of age. Now we can add Henry Thomas to the trio. He is only 14 months but there is still a strong family resemblance.

Kori and Henry Have Photos To Share

Here it is November and the babies have sent pictures to share.

Hello Grandma...Miss you...I'm growing and learning many new things. Can't wait to show
you. XOXO....Kori
