Labor Day Weekend

Ah, looks like they are cousins and friends!

Hard to get them both smiling, but at least they are both facing forward!

Well, Labor Day weekend was a blur! Luckily, Scott was able to have both Sunday and Monday off so we celebrated by ... relaxing (instead of being at work)!

Also, we were excited because both sets of grandparents were in town. Nonie and Papa Sudar had come up to Walasenburg for the All-Year reunion for both Walsenburg/John Mall High school and Saint Mary High School. The party animals seemed to have a good time, but were reluctant to share the gory details - must have been some party!

At any rate they came up on Sunday and a whole load of us went to breakfast: Nonie and Papa Sudar, Robert, Natalie and Emerson, Scott, Jack and I, and Grandma and Grandpa Christensen. We had a great breakfast and enjoyed watching Emerson and Jack notice each other.

Most of us went to Robert's house to spend a bit more time (before Nonie and Papa had to leave for the next party!) and Grandma and Grandpa went back to move some more boxes into their new house. Hopefully they will be moved out here in the next month or so. How fun will that be!

The highlight of the weekend (for the grandfolk) was probably giving Jack a bit of a feed. We have some cute photos of it. Seems that Grandpa Gary was a bit afraid of the spitback so he just cheered Jack on! :)

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...

Five Boys Happy Home
