Wes went for his one yr check up and is 30 1/4" and 25.7 lbs!!!

We had a beautiful day for Westons bday. It was 80 degrees. The kids played with water gun, water balloons and the hose. Andon has icecubes in his underwear here  ;o)  Wes didn't leave his cake for the action. He went to town on it.

We had a bug birthday so his cake was a giant ant hill. He washed the cake down with a handful of icecream. Grampa got that diaper in the morning  ;o)

AJ and little AJ getting ready to go shoot sporting clays with daddy and both grampas (5/21/11). (they even had to wear camo ;o) )

Andons date for the night. (Cousin Katie). They were some dancing machines. Andon had to request his favorite song Thriller. By the time they played it I had to hold him and dance. The little stinker was still up at 6:30am the next day. These kids have no idea what sleeping in is  ;o)

Weston walking the red carpet. He was turing head all night. Everyone thought the boys were soooo cute! They loved westons chuck taylors :O)

Cutest ring bearer ever! He said his favorite part of the wedding was walking up the isle with Uncle Vinny. (5/14/11)

The most handsome boys ever!!! I love them all to pieces!!!! Uncle Vinnys wedding. Lake City, MN, 5/14/11

Andon and wes had a blast spinning on the chair in our condo. They are really starting to play together now. Andon is working on sharing...hahaha.

Wes had his first brownie pop. He's practicing for his birthday cake. (5/2011)

Shark boy!!! Andon can't get enough of the water.  He swam until he was a prune at the condo pool in MN.

Wes was ready to shop too!!! He wanted to grab everything :O) (5/2011)

We stopped at a huge toy store in MN on our way to Uncle Vinnys wedding (5/13/11). Andon shopped until he dropped. He loves shopping. He has to read everything on a box before he moves on to the next thing. He picked out a water balloon launcher, bow and arrow and a thing for the pool that we can launch water out of.

Wes at the arcade in Branson. It was a rainy day so we hung out at a pizza place with games/play areas/bumper cars and mini golf.

Daddy and Andon stopped to go check out the fish hatchery. Andon got this lego sweatshirt from grandma for Easter and he wants to wear it every day. I asked him if we can wash it. He then asked me if it was against the law to wear it everyday. He's such a smart kid....funny little stinker too.

Weston is turing into a waterbug like his big brother. Maybe after the jungle gym is built we will have to save for a pool. (Branson, MO 5/2011)

Andon during a long day of swimming. He's the only kid I know that won't pee in the pool  ;o) (Branson, MO 5/2011)

Weston excited to go check out the Kansas City zoo!! (11mos, 5/2011)

Visiting our friends in Kansas City, MO (May 2011). We had such a fun time! Andon had two little boys to play with and cause trouble. We can't wait to visit again!! We went to the zoo and just hung around playing. Andon had to swim in our HUGE hotel bathtub before we left.

Wes was going down the baby slide all by himself. He crawled up himself too!!! (Silver Dollar City, MO - 11mos old)

Silver dollar city, MO. Andon went on all the rides!! He can't wait for Disney next spring!!

How adorable is that little face!!!!

Our little troll

Everyone got buried in corn!!!

Happy Wes got to hang out with his cousins :O)

Andon and his cousin Alexa after feeding the goats on Easter.

Wes playing in the hay at Bunny Bonanza!

Andon was so excited the Easter bunny brought him Kai from GoNinjaGo

We had a great Easter! We spent the day at the Bunny Farm. We went on a egg hunt, pet and fed the baby animals (goats, bunnies, chickies and sheep), Andon went on a pig chase and got a flag off of a pig (it was sooo stinky because those pigs were poopin everywhere..haha), went down tunnels/slides, played in the hay, obsticle course and launched eggs. Andon had a blast in the "gerbil balls" with his cousins. Weston sat back and ate a pork sandwich :o) We also played in corn and buried all of the kids. We came home, cooked out, played in the yard, took baths and called it a day. Weston pigged out on his own cupcake for the first time too. What a mess but he sure had fun! We will post pictures as soon as we can get our computer to work. For some reason it's not reading our camera chip.

The past two days Weston has been taking 6-7 steps at a time. YAY!! What a big boy! He gets so excited before he falls over. He's going to be running around in no time. Andon is really trying to play with him lately. He really wants to wrestle with him but he's not getting that Weston is still a little young for that. But Wes loves every minute of his big brothers attention. Weston was trying to get on Andons bed and I caught Andon prying all Westons little fingers off of the edge of the bed. I was telling him how his little brother looks up to him and it's his job to take his little brother under his wing and protect him. Andon then told me that he doesnt have a wing  ;o) Then I told him it was a figure of speech and he then said....I really don't want to listen to speeches right now. What a bunch of cuites!!

We went to see the Easter bunny (4/17/11). Andon was waiting all week.

While my big brother is wrestling daddy I think I will read his comic book.

Andon loves to wrestle almost every night. I think daddys ear is still recovering. But guess who won?  :O)

Last night at dinner Andon was telling us how he should get rid of some of his old toys to make room for new ones. He wanted to get rid of one of his favorite games (Splashy the Whale). We told him it's a good idea to keep the toys/games for his brother. He then told us that he will be willing to sell them to Weston when he got older. He's such a problem solver  ;o)

(taken April 2011) Wes is almost 11 mos and taking steps. He'll be walking before we know it.

Andon playing with daddy at the park. He loves to go to the park every chance he gets.
