Fun at the Fair

We had our traditional night at the Buffalo County Fair in Mondovi on Friday night. The Anderson family has joined us the last several years. It has been neat to watch the kiddos grow each year and enjoy the different parts of the fair. Blake, Hadley, and Piper went on a few rides together and we also ate some delicious chicken, corn on the cob, and of course we can't leave the fair without a chocolate malt!
While waiting to get on one of the rides, Blake entertained Hadley and Piper with his hand-in-the-sleeve trick!

Blake watching Grady read

Blake really enjoyed watching his cousin Grady reading on the computer. I had to capture his reaction on video! Great reading, Grady!

Cousins

Last week Grandma and Grandpa Gronos and Erik, Jen and Grady came to the cities for a Twins game. Blake, Bennett and I drove over for a few days to see everyone. While we were there the cousins, grandma, and grandpa had some good bonding time! If only we all lived closer to one another! You may be wondering why Blake is not in the group picture with the rest of the grandkids. He was getting a little tired and refused to take a group picture. I did snap one of him laying by himself on the floor though.

Brothers

I was curious to see how much Blake and Bennett resembled each other at 2 months. What do you think? I definitely see some similarities. These were the first smiles that I caught on camera for both of them.

4th of July

We spent this 4th of July with our good friends Mike and Karen and their 2 cuties, Ava and Finn, in Rochester. We had a delicious grill out, and Ava and Blake were such good buddies sharing toys and playing together. Thanks for your hospitality Mike and Karen!

Bennett is 2 Months Old

Another month has passed us by and with it a growing Bennett has flashed us his first smile on camera! Here are some pictures from the Bennett's 2nd month of life!
