Trains!

As you read yesterday, Ben got a new train set for being the ring bearer at Uncle Doug and Aunt Serena's wedding. Well, Aunt Michelle got me this neat little train set too.



Here is a picture of Ben's new train set. It goes with the trains that are currently filling our basement.



The best part is that Ben and I can play with both of our trains together.

Love,
Cameron

My Weekend as a Ring Bearer

As you might know, I was a ring bearer this past weekend in my Uncle Doug's wedding. Here is a picture of me in my tuxedo with the fancy pillow I carried the rings on.



Here is my Uncle Doug. He is now married to my Aunt Serena.



My Mommy and Daddy were also in the wedding, but despite my best efforts, everyone decided that Cameron was too young to be the candle lighter (so he didn't get to wear a dress or a tuxedo).



My Grandma Diane and Grandpa Tommy came all the way from Holly, Michigan, where they live, to watch me and Cameron. It was lots of fun to see them and more fun to play with them.



We also got to meet our new cousin, Nicholas. He is only six weeks old, and he slept a lot.



Cameron was very excited as the wedding was finally about to begin!



Here I am just before the wedding with Kali, the flower girl. (Cameron blows her kisses every time he sees her!)



Then, it was go time and I went all the way down the aisle.



At the end of the day, it was just me and Daddy, hanging in the parking lot.



Then, Grandpa Tommy reminded me how to be cool in my tuxedo.

Away for Uncle Doug's Wedding

As many of you know, Cameron and I are away for RAGBRAI and Uncle Doug's wedding. We'll be back next week with lots of great pictures.

Bomb Pops!

Again with the food theme, I had my first solo bomb pop tonight. I did pretty good with it.



My brother Ben is a pro at eating bomb pops, but his mouth was still very red.

Love, Cameron

Cherries!

We had a really great cherries the other day, and I got them all over my face.

Summertime = Bathtime

You can always tell it is summer when Cameron and I have to take more than one bath a day. Yes, here is our second of the day. The first we got because we were all sticky from raspberry preserves from breakfast and the second because we got all dirty playing in the sprinkler our front.

Love,
Ben

Reemtsma Family Reunion

We just got back from the Reemtsma family reunion. This was the first one I had ever been to, so I got dressed up in my best Hawaiian shirt.



It was out at my Aunt Michelle's farm. Everyone had a good time there. Here's a picture of Ben and Uncle Jayson. Uncle Jayson had Ben's hat on. That was silly.



Here's a picture of the scenery as the party wore down.

Our Trip to the Sculpture Garden

This morning, after the Krispy Kremes, we went to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. This is the cherry and spoon bridge. It was spraying water out of the top!



Here I am in the conservatory in front of the big glass fish.



And here is my baby brother in the conservatory too!



Here is me and my Mommy in front of a crazy wooden horse sculpture.



The sculpture garden is a joint venture of the Minneapolis Parks Board and the Walker Art Museum (that's the Walker there). We went in and saw some of the art. It really looks a lot like the messes that Cameron and I make at home sometimes. At home, we would have to clean it up, but at the Walker, we couldn't even touch anything.



Here's a picture of me in front of Prometheus and the vulture, whoever Prometheus is.



And here's a picture of me in front of the scooper part of a big scoop.



And finally, here is my and my brother under a crazy thing held up by columns. It was a fun day!

Ben

Krispy Kreme and the 4th of July

It's a 4th of July tradition in our house to get Krispy Kreme donuts and this weekend was no exception. This time, we also got crazy Krispy Kreme hats!



Here is my traditional chocolate glazed with red, white and blue sprinkles.



And here is Cameron with the traditional original glazed.

Ice Cream Cones

It was really hot here in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where we live, so we had ice cream cones at home! Here I am eating one.



And here's my brother with his!

I'm a Walker

It's official, I'm a walker now. I try to walk everywhere I can. Here's a picture of me walking with my brother.

Rambling Roadtrip

This past week, I participated in our church's vacation bible school. The theme was "Rambling Roadtrip." We went from Washington, D.C., to Chicago, to Yellowstone National Park and ended up at Knott's Berry Farm in California. It was lots of fun and we learned about God at each stop on our trip. (Mommy watched Cameron and the other babies in the nursery.)



On Thursday night, we had a program for all of our parents. Me and all of the other kids got up and sang our two songs that we had been practicing all week. I'm in the lower left hand corner in the green shirt.



Here's a picture of me singing and watching Miss Marci. She told us what to do while we were singing.



Here I am at the end of the program. Afterwards, we picked up the crafts I made, had some lemonade and popsicles, and went home.

Love,
Ben

Happy Father's Day, Darth Tater

Here is a picture of me and Ben with Darth Tater. Darth Tater was part of Daddy's fathers day present. It's really a Mr. Potatohead dressed up like Darth Vader, so don't be scared.

Buzz Lightyear Meets the Elmo Sprinkler

It was pretty warm here in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where we live, so we decided to set up the Elmo sprinkler and run through it. I got to wear my new Buzz Lightyear swim trunks and surf shirt.



Here is a picture of me in my new swim outfit with my baby brother.

Crazy About Cookbooks

This afternoon, I was being silly and pulling cookbooks off of the shelf. Daddy took these funny pictures of me.

Three Men in White and Gray

Today,all of us guys dressed the same. We all had white t-shirts on and grey shorts. We all went to Mendard's and the gas station and the beer store together (Ben and I got lollipops!). Isn't that funny?

Taking Pictures of Taking Pictures

Daddy and I were out early this morning looking at our lillies that had recently bloomed when we decided to take a picture of our new garden on the side of the house. Daddy took this silly picture of me taking a picture of one of the flowers.



In case you were wondering, here's a picture of one of the lillies.

My First Baseball Game

This was the scene of my first baseball game ever. We saw the Twins take on the San Diego Padres.



Prior to the game, we had a picnic outside with lots of people that my Daddy works with. This is a picture of my brother, Ben. To the left, you can see my feet and my Mommy's feet. I was practicing walking all around the picnic area. They had door prizes at the picnic too. We won tickets to a game in September and an autographed baseball. I ate a hot dog and some watermelon and lots of cookies.



Here's a picture of me and Mommy at the game. Like my brother used to do, I ate my way through the game.



Here's a picture of my brother inside the Metrodome. I think he was actually watching the game.



Anyhow, we had a fun time. I hope to go to another game really soon.

PS: I wish I could tell you who won, but we left in the 5th inning and the game is now in the 10th inning!

Love,
Cameron
