Busy Boys

Mama always says she can't believe how quickly time goes by...well, we have to agree. Has it really been a whole month since we've posted??!?

Want to know what we've been up to? We've been busy!

Way back in August we got to spend a few days at Grandpa and Grandma Huber's house. Saw the cousins,

ate lots of good food - including watermelon (one of my favorites!!)

(by the way, did you know that you're not supposed to eat the green part of the watermelon??!?),

washed Grandpa's car,

played outside, and went to an Amish farm. That farm had real live animals...chicks and cows and horses. I liked looking at the chicks - they were cute and fluffy. The cows weren't so cute and fluffy. They were big. And noisy. And big. I didn't really care for them too much. The horses were way out in another part of the farm.

Then just a few weeks ago we got to spend a whole week at Grandpa and Grandma Swaim's house. It took us a really long time to get to their house. It was so far away that we got to stay at Uncle Jeff and Aunt LeeAnn's house on the way there.

I liked Uncle Jeff and Aunt LeeAnn's house! They have a big yard behind their house and Uncle Jeff took me out to play with balls and kites. And they have a kitty cat. Critter Kitty Cat. Meow!!

When we were at Grandpa and Grandma Swaim's house we had lots of good food to eat and got to see lots of people. I got to meet Uncle Eddie for the first time and everyone got to see An-dew for the first time. (They all seemed excited about seeing An-dew. Haven't figured out why though. He doesn't do very much. Maybe it was because he's so cute like me!!) I got to play on the playground near Grandma's house and play with Grandma's shopping cart and go outside and look for hummingbirds with Grandpa and play with cars and teddy bears and laugh in the back seat of the car with MeMa. We went to visit MeMa one day.

She has lots of friends who live near her. I got to say hi to them and shake their hands. And they had lots of walkers and canes. I tried to inspect as many as I possibly could...so little time though!! Oh, and we went to Aunt Bernie's house and got to see more aunts and uncles.

And we ate cookies and ice cream. That was yummy! Thanks for the extra cookies, Aunt Bernie!! I liked them. Liked them better than those horses outside your house.

AND...I got to eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts!!! YUUUMMMMM!!!!!!


When we were done being at Grandpa and Grandma's house, we went to Aunt Renee and Uncle Everett's house. They have dogs. 3 dogs. I decided I could be friends with those dogs. They weren't so big and scary like some other dogs I've met. Aunt Renee even let me give them treats to eat. (Sorry, Aunt Renee, that I tried to eat the dog's treat. What do you expect...you hand a guy something and he hears the words "food" and "eat"...!!) Oh, and I got to go out and see the pigeons too. Those birds make me laugh!! They're soooo funny!!

And in-between seeing all my grandpas and grandmas I've been... keeping An-dew entertained... keeping all my cars and trucks in running order... eating yummy food... you know, the usual!!
