Cousin Andrew's 5th Birthday Party

We just got back from a fun afternoon with family birthday celebrations. Cousin Andrew turned 5, and Uncle Brian turned... in his 30s somewhere.

I had fun snapping a few pictures at the playground, and then of Brown playing with the legos and trucks at Andrew's house. Unfamiliar toys rock!

Off to conquer the playground...

Hmmmm... which should I do first? The slide or the swings?


The slide!


Thanks, Cousin Sarah... these are big kid swings.


And now to the legos!




Ummmm... I need a basket, please. Too many good trucks to choose from.



Shocking, I know. Dad is kissing me again. Sheeeesh!

Lake and Family

Brown has been hanging out at the lake with his Uncle Matt (chris's brother) and his 3 1/2 yr old cousin Keely, along with Butter and Papa (Chris's parents) and us (that would be Chris and Curt).

It's been a hoot this week watching those two kids together. Brown likes to follow Keely around, and she loves it. Usually. But then she gets tired of the attention she has to share with him, so she tries to come up with ways for us to leave him behind sometimes. The mind of a 31/2 year old... hilarious! Here are a few pictures from the last couple of days.
