On the Farm : Week of May 29

We wanted to let you know that we'll be down on the farm this week, so it'll be tough for us to provide updates.

Love,
Ben and Cameron

Cousin Emily's Wedding

We went to cousin Emily's wedding in Rochester on Saturday and had this picture taken with Great Grandma Martha, Grandma Jan, Mommy and me and Ben.

The Hangar

On Saturday, we went to a neat restaurant in Rochester, MN. It is called the Hangar. It is near the airport and has lot of airports and pictures of airplanes. I took these pictures all by myself.



Here is a big red airplane over the bar.



Here is a little yellow airplane by the bathrooms.



Here is a big airplane painting on the back wall.



And here is an airplane landing on one of the front walls.

Four and a half

On Saturday, I turned 4 and half. We took a bunch of pictures of me and Peanut (and my brother) on Friday before we went to Rochester.



Here I am with Peanut.



And here I am with Cameron, Peanut and Max the bunny.

Pint Size

My Mommy got me these cute PJs at the Baby Gap. They say, "Pint Size" and have a picture of a pint of milk and a cow on them.



Here is another picture of me with them on making a funny face.

Reading to my Brother

The other day I was reading a Thomas catalog to my brother when my silly Daddy snapped this picture.

The Rain Forest Cafe Alligator and Me

Tonight, we met one of my Daddy's colleagues who is in town for the weekend and we went to the Rainforest Cafe at Mall of America for dinner.



I got to meet the alligator there and we got to sit under the elephants that blow steam out of their trunks every 15 minutes. It was awesome!

Then, we got to go on a bunch of rides at the Park at MOA (formerly Camp Snoopy, before they lost the rights to use the name).

My Last Day of School - The Musical Program

Here is the video that I promised from my last day of school. Enjoy!

Our Visit to the Model Railroad Museum

This morning, we went to see the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum.



It is in a place called Bandana Square. It used to be the Como Shops for the Great Northern Railroad, where they used to repair their engines.



They have this neat engine parked out front.



Inside, it's really big and they had lots of trains running all of the time.



Here is another view.

Afterwards, we were going to go to the zoo, but it was way too crowded. We couldn't even find a place to park, so we went to the pirate ship park again and had a picnic and played before the rain came.

Ben and Cameron

The Pirate Park

Because it was my last day of school, Mommy and Daddy took me and Cameron out to a special lunch. Then we went to the "pirate park" in Golden Valley.



Here is me on the front of the boat. Daddy kept telling me to say that I was the king of the world, but I thought that was silly.



While I was up top, Daddy and Cameron were down below, steering the boat.



Eventually, Cameron got up to the top of the boat too.



Here I am on the neighboring play structure.



Here is Cameron playing on the little springy thing that was supposed to be a wave runner.



Finally, here I am looking out over the rest of the park from the top of the pirate ship.

My Last Day of School

Today was my last day of preschool for the year (and my last day at Peppermint Fence, as I'll be going to Joyful Noise next year).



Here is a picture of my class.



After our program (which Daddy will post video of later), we all had ice cream sundaes. Cameron got to sit at the kids table next to me.



Here is a funny picture of me with toys that I often play with at school.



Here's a picture of me and my teachers. On the left is Mrs. Gallagher and on the right is Mrs. McLean. Daddy is hoping to paste another head on this picture of me when I'm looking.

Ben

Ladybugs

On Tuesday, we learned about ladybugs. Did you know that they have six legs?

Ben

Theeatter

Every once in a while, I come up with a new and exciting word. You might recall "hampetter" instead of "hamburger." Now, there is "theeatter."




Love,
Ben

Chocolate Donuts

Today is Mother's Day, so Ben and Daddy went to Byerly's and got Mommy a big cinnamon roll. While they were there, they got donuts for Ben and me. Needless to say, I ate the chocoloate one.

Love,
Cameron

Crazy Hair Night

It was crazy hair night last night.



When we got out of the bath, Daddy dried our hair and made it look crazy. This is me, upside down.



And this is my brother's crazy hair.

Love,
Cameron

Joseph, the musical

The Joseph musical came and went this weekend. While there are a few funny snippets of video below, I can tell you it went pretty well overall, I did pretty good and all of my grandparents came as well as Aunt Michelle and Uncle Jayson (and Mommy and Daddy and Cameron).



Here is my name in the program.



Here is a kinda blurry picture. I'm in the front row, 5th from the left.



Here is a kinda dark picture. I'm in the front, but I'm 4th from the left here.


This song is "One Good Lookin' Hebrew."



Love,
Ben

Silliness with Grandma and Grandpa W

As part of the weekend's festivities, Grandma and Grandpa W visited. We took lots of pictures together, including this silly one. Cameron still doesn't understand the silly picture, but he'll get there someday. Love, Ben

Another 2nd Birthday Party

I had what I think was my last birthday party of the year on Saturday. My Mommy and Daddy got me a Thomas cake and everything. It was really fun, mostly because I got to open more presents!


Here is a video of me blowing out my candles and Ben singing to me.

Love,
Cameron

Rescue Heroes Hyper Jet

Good news everyone - we got the Rescue Heroes Hyper Jet as part of Cameron's birthday presents!



Mommy and Daddy were at Toys 'R' Us last night and it was on sale, so they got it for us.

Love,
Ben and Cameron
