Just to show you how we've grown, here's the family picture from 2008. Mommy's holding me, and Daddy has Alex.
Here we are this year. Mommy has me again and Daddy has Alex again. Yes, I'm holding spoons. I was playing when they picked me up to take the picture and this was how they got me to stop crying.

Here's Mommy's attempt at getting a nice picture before we left. (After 2 shots, she gave up.)

She tried again with Alex, and settled for taking one that she got while he was walking towards her to give her his sandal to put on.

She did manage to get this one of us on the way to the car.

Once we got to Grandma and Grandpa's, it was time to play!! We took our riding toys out front. Sometimes I like to push them instead of riding.
Alex and I switch toys back and forth, so you never know who's going to have what.
Here's Grandma, encouraging me on!!

Then we moved around to the backyard. We're boys on the go and we have things to see. I decided to push Alex around.

Alex found this bucket and dragged it around the patio. Glad it already had a hole!
After playing for a while, we took a nap, and ate dinner. Here's Grandma and Grandpa giving us a snack of Lemon Yogurt! Yummm!

Then it was dark and time for the fireworks. Here's Alex with Grandma.

Unfortunately after this Daddy and Uncle Sean decided to shoot off fireworks and we got really scared, so after we cried a lot, Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa took us back inside and we watched from the kitchen window. Then the fireworks were cool. I even heard Alex go "Oooohhhh." We did go out for the last one and that was fine. Maybe next year we can stay outside for them. We were up late and Alex was asleep in his car seat before we left the driveway. Instead of letting us sleep in though, Mommy was in our room waking us up at 7!
