The Cookie Assistant

I decided that Wesley was finally old enough to assist in making some cookies. He had a lot of fun, but it did add more stress into the whole process for Mommy. Seeing him so excited made it all worth while though. He didn't even eat that much cookie dough! I'll for sure pick him up as an assistant again for when we do Christmas cookies.

We made ghosts, cats, pumpkins, leaves and lots of elephants. Wes even decided to throw in a random snowman just to mix it up a bit. :)

Lady... Then & Now

Then...


Now...

Wesley took a ride in his Aunt Amy's "Lady" today. Little does he know that his Mommy & Daddy took their first ride as a married couple in it a little over seven years ago. :)

Tree Hugger

Wesley climbed his first tree at our tailgating event. He is a natural monkey!

Wesley's First Tailgate

GO BRONCOS!

We were invited by friends to go tailgate at the ND vs. WMU game today. I really had no intention of Wes and I joining Ben for the ND vs. WMU tailgate since we only have 3 weeks to go until #2's due date, but last minute I decided that I just had to go and cheer on our alma mater against the Irish. Wesley had a great time playing with all the other kiddos. Maybe next year we'll actually take him inside a football game to give him the full experience. :)

Wesley, the Ham

The reason for all the portrait-like shots lately is that I just can't help myself... Wes has turned into quite the little ham for the camera. He is just so much fun and growing up quick.

Chalk

Please tell me that my kid isn't the only one that likes to eat chalk...

New Sandbox

The dirt/sand piles are pretty much gone from in front of our house, so Ben has been working overtime on a new sandbox to keep our dirt lover happy. It doesn't have any sand yet, but we're ready to go get some! As always, Wesley was quite the little helper.
