Angry Birds

Who knew Blake would like Angry Birds so much?

Visit with Angie

My friend, and former co-worker, Angie moved to Texas last year and was in town for a visit.

We were at Angie's aunt's house, who had a fake cow in her yard. We thought that was a natural spot for a picture.

It was really hot, but fun!

Blake loved the turtles.

Fireman Blake

One of Blake's favorite books has a character named Fireman Joe. Blake found some boots and a helmet in his room just like Fireman Joe.

Donuts

We made donuts the other day. I kind of think Blake liked them.

Joys of Forts

We haven't ever built a fort with Blake, but the other day he decided that he was going to build a house, which may come before building a fort? He did remember to build his house with windows.

Fun Times

This cute kid is going to have a..

My sister-in-law got this for the midget. Midget is due in November and Blake has no idea how much his little world is going to change. The midget is really long and during an ultrasound, he was completely stretched out so apparently he likes to make himself comfortable.

Water Gun Fight

One of the joys of having uncles is having water gun fights.

Who encourage attacking Grandpa.

Blake was outnumbered and came away pretty wet, but I think he loved every minute.

LA Zoo

We went to the LA Zoo today with Grandpa, Grandma, Seth and Kaleb.

The boys sure had fun and Blake had to sit just like Grandpa for the picture.

It was 90 something degrees, so some of the animals were hiding in the shade.

Wedding Time

Aaron's friend's sister got married yesterday and luck would have it that they were married in San Diego, with a reception only an hour from our house. We were busy chatting with the family so we didn't get many pictures, but here are the newlyweds.

A Child's Prayer

Michelle and I take turns giving the prayers in our house. Lately, however, Blake has insisted that it's his "turn" to say the prayer. So, we'll help him by having him repeat each sentence after us. He usually only gets the last word or two but he does a good job with those. Today, of course, was the exception (hence my urge to post about it).

As Michelle carefully said each sentence, Blake repeated the last few words but then included "Yep".

Michelle: "Please bless this food." Blake: "Food! Yep."
Michelle: "Thank you for Mommy and Daddy." Blake: "Mommy and Daddy! Yep."
Michelle: "Bless those in the military." Blake: "Yep"

Given the nature of a pray, most try to keep it pretty serious, but I really had a hard time keeping my laughter in check today.

YEP!
