Take me out to the ballgame

I attended my first Twins game (well, the 6th through the 9th innings anyway ;-)), it as a lot of fun. I really liked the chicken fingers and singing take me out to the ballgame. It was also fun dancing in the aisles in between innings, and I'm looking forward to my next game!!

pictures from Grandma Flo's 80th birthday party weekend

Here we are watching some fireworks after

checking all the cows in the field.

Kirk, Gina and Kyle's house is the closest

thing to a zoo in Ava. I liked seeing all the animals.

Dad Dad taught me about a rain gauge.

I am pretty good at dumping out the water.

I had a few chores on the farm like helping

feed and pet Grandma Flo's cat Rascal!

She is fun!

I had fun doing sidewalk chalk

and driving up to the "big red barn"!

We had a cookout on the farm.

It was hot, but I had a ton of fun!

Did you know Uncle Kirk drives lots of big machines?

He let me drive his tractor, gator and truck!

Now back at home Uncle Kirk drives my Lego tractor!

Here we are at Rockbridge fishing lodge for dinner.

I had a good dinner and threw a lot of rocks:)
I even got to touch a trout fish!

We went to cousin Bonnie's house to see the animals.

I really liked riding the horse!

Look at this cute pony!

I am a big fan of ice cream cones!

I had one after lunch with Granddad and Daddy.

Here I am on the old Smurf Train with Toni

We had a great trip to Ava, Missouri for

Grandma Flo's birthday. Here we are with

Momma's friend Erin, Cohen and Cale at their house in Springfield.

Cohen has lots of cool trains and toys at his house!

Pictures from Memorial Day Weekend

After all the company, a guy needs a nap!!

Animal Puzzle fun with Grandad. ALL DONE!!

Riding my new tricycle that mom and dad picked out for me. Mom, Grandad and BB are helping me out with the pedals. I tried it a few weeks ago, but I just was not tall enough. Now that I am a big boy, look out!

For some reason Dad volunteered to take this picture, at least two of us are hard at work ;-)

Drawing houses, buses, and helicopters with Grandma and Grandpa.

Here we are planting our flowers with help from Grandma. I loved getting my fingers dirty in the wet soil. I do like tractors, maybe I will be a farmer.

Pictures from Mothers Day

We spent part of Mother's Day weekend in Albert Lea, with the whole family. It was fun to play with Tessa and Thomas, and we all went on a "bear hunt" in the living room ;-))

Lots of Easter pictures

Grandad and BB, Grandma Flo and Dad Dad.

Uncle Adam and Aunt Lisa

Easter present from Grandma and Grandpa Trygstad.

Mom and I at the Primrose Easter Egg hunt, I made the hat myself!

The "Real" Easter Egg hunt around our house, thanks Mom!

Here is my favorite find on the hunt, I call it my Steam roller.

Dad has one like it in the garage.

Hello Easter Bunny ;-)) You're a lot bigger than in the books!

Mom, Dad and I with my Steam Roller.

For Easter, Grandad, BB, Uncle Adam, Aunt Lisa, Grandma Flo and Dad Dad came up from Mizzou to visit us. We had a great time on our Easter egg hunt, I got to see the Easter Bunny up close and personal, and the Easter Bunny brought me a lawnmower. Dad was a little upset that instead of mowing the lawn, it lets out bubbles, but I think he is over that now ;-) He can keep that job for a few years!

Trip to the Oxbow zoo

Sunday we went to Oxbow Zoo just north of Byron, its a very nice zoo for not having to pay a fee to go. John had a great time looking at the animals that he had only previously seen in books. The bear was definitely one of my favorites. I also liked watching the beavers and the turkeys. We'll have to go back again soon. The bear was serching around for some food to eat, John was really into him. We spent the most time watching the bear out of all the animals.

Yes Mr. Turkey, I am going to have one of your relatives over for dinner tonight ;-)

Just hanging out with Dad by the cougar, who was sleeping....

Yes dad, quit saying "John, look, an owl!", I KNOW what one is, see!

Sunny Sunday afternoon fun!

Here we are building a house with our legos. We had a great time, and learned that in this village everyone stands on their roof ;-) A little final Christmas cleanup on the deck. John was a big help taking down the lights!
