Facebook or not????

So I've been posting the same photos and videos on here and on Facebook. I'm wondering how many that view this blog also belong to Facebook and are seeing them twice. It's much easier to upload to Facebook, it seems. So, if you don't belong to FB, and would like me to keep uploading everything here, please respond in the comments section. If there are more than a few people, then I'll keep doing both. But if everyone is also viewing them on FB, then I'll just post links on here to let you know when there are new photos. Thanks!

Silly videos

Easton has been yelling "GO!" a lot lately! Sometimes it's "Ready, Set, Go!" or "Set, Go!" But GO seems to be the main point of it all! Sometimes we help him out and cheer him on (with hopes that it will tire him out!!!)




We've been working on animal sounds a lot lately. I'd been trying to teach him "Nay" for the horse for weeks now, but to no avail. All the sudden, on Monday, he points to the horse and says this:



I guess it's way more fun to say it that way!!! Maybe next we'll work on snorting instead of saying oink. He seems to smile and giggle more when ya snort anyway!

DOWN!

Easton's big thing right now is to do "touchdown" (hold his arms above his head as if signaling a touchdown). I'm sure you can imagine where he learned that! Anyway, he does it at random now. It's so darn funny. But lately, he's been doing it when he gets to the bottom of stairs too. He makes it all the way down, then throws his hands up and yells "DOWN!" This is the first I've seen him do it on the slide, and I'm so glad I left my camera on long enough to catch it on video. Cracks me up!!!

Frucks and Combines

We went to Osborne after the wedding on Saturday night, mainly because it was closer. But also because we'll be back up north all of this next weekend for Opening Pheasant weekend. Easton and Elwin took naps and played while Grammy Dene and I sewed a purse. We (mainly SHE) finished it in a couple hours, so we had some lunch and headed home.



On the way home we decided to make a couple pit stops in Beloit, as it was a beautiful day and seemed a waste to be in the car the whole time. So we stopped at Carrico's and looked at frucks (tractors) and combines. Apparently looking was okay, but touching didn't go over quite as well.

Another weekend, another wedding!

This weekend we went to Beloit for Elwin's cousin Jerry's wedding. Easton had a good time dancing and running around with cousin Kayla and the million other kids there. We were all pretty wiped by the end of the day! We made a small attempt several times to get a photo of the 3 cousins (Easton, Kayla and Cayden), but never got that accomplished. Hopefully at Christmas...



Finally remembered to take a photo of Crystal and Earl with baby Cayden. He was a very good sport for being passed around to as many people as he was! And of course, he tolerated Easton's hugs like a trooper!


Right before we left, so probably not the most flattering point of the day! Should've taken this one in the afternoon!

Silly Drummer Boy

Easton is a silly, silly drummer boy.....kinda.... If wearing the drum on your head counts! This is a favorite activity these days. Last night he brought me a sand bucket, and was very upset because it wouldn't fit down over his head! He brought it to me like I could do something to fix it! Sorry kiddo!
