On a Sunday afternoon...

Just enjoying a Sunday afternoon at home...
...which always involves me trying to get the remote controls...check me out on my tippy toes!
"Shopping" in the kitchen
And, finding myself in the microwave...super fun!

Meanwhile, Averie is busy upstairs in the playroom with Molly, her beloved baby doll. She is changing her diaper and getting her ready to take a nap!

Lazy 5 Ranch

This past Saturday, we (along with some families in our playgroup) went on a "family field trip" to Lazy 5 Ranch. We got to take a wagon ride & feed & pet many animals. We had such a fun time!
Here is Averie with Daddy...on the wagon ride!
Mommy & me...I was too busy looking at all the animals to look at the camera!
Averie is ready to feed the animals...she has the food in her hands! (This is a big change from last year...when she rode the entire wagon ride with the food clenched in her hands. This time, she was throwing food out everywhere for all the animals to enjoy!)
Daddy feeding the animals...
...and then letting me try!
Yes, this is how close we got to the giraffe...so cool!
Mommy was holding me...and the bucket of food...and trying to look at the camera...and trying to feed the giraffe. Me...well, I was just too busy petting the adorable giraffe!
Daddy feeding the water buffalo. It was so funny! The water buffalo would just stick out his long tongue while Daddy "poured" food in his mouth!
Our Family...at the end of the wagon ride! Sure was fun!
Then, we got to walk around the ranch & feed more animals. Here I am feeding the sheep with my Daddy!
They licked it right out of my hand!!
And, Averie even fed the smaller goats all by herself!
She LOVED it!
I had fun on my first trip to Lazy 5 Ranch. Afterwards, we all enjoyed a yummy lunch at Lancaster's BBQ, and then I wiped out for a long nap that afternoon. What a fun family day!

Strawberry Fun...

Hi Everyone ~ Enjoy our latest pictures...we've been busy having LOTS of fun! And, happy summer to everyone!
Today, we got to go to Patterson Farms to pick some strawberries. This is my (Brady) first time. Since Averie loved it so much last year, Mommy took us both. Plus, the strawberries are delicious! Here is a picture of each of us BEFORE we got our hands on some of those YUMMY strawberries.
Averie...
...and me (yes, we all wore red!)
Averie is ready to pick some strawberries...

...so she got her crate and started picking. (I was going to crawl around and "help," but it had rained a bit before, so it was really muddy...)

Averie picking us some yummy strawberries!

She loved picking the strawberries. And, she did a great job with it! I just watched her!

Averie with our cousin, Stephanie!

And, here are a few pictures of Averie eating her strawberries...

So good...

...with just a little tart!

Yummy!

Now, my turn...Hello, strawberry...

...mmm...

SO GOOD!

I was a complete mess afterwards, but I loved it! Averie & I ate about 15 strawberries each...while we were there. We've been eating them throughout the day too!

After Averie & Mommy picked a crate of strawberries, this is what we did...enjoy them!

Me, Mommy, & Averie

We went with some of our playgroup friends...here is our attempt on a group picture.

Afterwards, we ate lunch at the park (while it rained some...good thing we were eating under a covered area). Then, no more rain, so we got to play in the park. Super fun!

What a fun day!

Another haircut...

So, I got my 2nd haircut yesterday...I look like such a little man again! I had gel in it, and it was super cute!
