Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?

I see a two year old smiling at me! Today was Brewer's Birthday Party! Grandma Maria, Grandpa and Nana, Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma Rognstad, Papa and Gg, Auntie Sue and Nicole stopped by to help us celebrate Brewer's birthday! We had all of the colors of Brown Bears friends and animals of all sorts around for us to see.

Our Birthday cake was an amazing 3D Brown Bear and he was just as yummy to eat! Thank you Ms. Kim!

Brewer got some awesome gifts...a ride on four-wheeler, a bath toy, color book and crayon, a couple of outfits, books, and a bounce house! Life can not get any better for this two year old! Happy Birthday Brew!

Inproper Supervision of Child

On this beautiful Saturday afternoon, Brewer and Buster were playing outside in the backyard like they normally do. It is nothing unusual for the two of them to be out back by themselves since they are completely fenced in by the fence. All is safe.

Daddy is in the kitchen, Mommy is in the living room cleaning for the party and Cooper is helping out by vacuuming the hall and bathroom. Daddy hears an unusual noise. Runs back inside to get the camera to capture this picture of Brewer....playing in the dirt.





The video is priceless, but won't upload at the moment. Brewer went straight to the bathtub from here...

Happy 2nd Birthday Brewer!

Today we had a Mommy and Brewer day to start the celebration of Brewer's Birthday. After we dropped off Cooper at school, we went over to Papa and Gg's house to visit. Brewer had fun eating cereal and playing with the toys. Then we ran a few errands before going home for lunch and rest.
Today was an early release for Cooper too! After we got back to the van, we went to pick out pumpkins at Stein's. Cooper and Brewer had a blast picking out their own pumpkins. Brewer just ran around yelling pumpkins to anyone and everyone present.

Brewer wasn't too sure about blowing out his candle, but let us all know that it was hot. He tried, but he was not blowing strong enough!

He just wanted to know when he could get to his ice cream!

And he was not done, until he said he was done...licking the cup clean!

Happy Birthday Brew!

Character Award

Cooper received a Character Award today in gym class because Ms. Uttech caught him doing good and using his manners! Now his name is placed into a drawing to have lunch with the principal! We are very proud of Mr. Cooper!!

Buster

Our puppy is getting bigger! Daddy took Buster to the vet last Thursday and Buster is now 12.3 pounds! We are thinking that there is a grow button he pushes every time that he goes into his kennel!

Mr. Sun

Brewer has been loving Mr. Sun! Here he is singing Mr. Sun on the way from Crivitz to Green Bay! Okay...so it's more of mom signing than anything:)

Weekend in Green Bay

On September 25th, we made a trip up to Green Bay/Crivitz for Uncle Paul's Memorial Service. The first part of our journey took us up to Crivitz for a Memorial Service up at the cabin of Debbie and Al, who were neighboring to that of Helen and Paul. Cindy and Fred planned a memorable service for their Dad, and then followed through with their parents wishes to be placed in the woods up behind their old home.
There were a lot of memories shared that day. One of them with the Beck family was a little walk to the trailer next to Debbie and Al's, where Karen and Steve had once owned. Here Karen is sitting in the same spot that her Mom once sat for a similar picture. It was fun to listen to Randy, Kris, and Andrea reminisce about what they did remember of their time in Crivitz.


We also found the outhouse with a painted wall on it. The wall is the original wall that Grandma Anderson painted. We are now in the process have making something from this wall (actually John and Andrea are).



After we were done in Crivitz, we drove back to Green Bay and checked into the hotel where we were going to be staying. Then we went over to Gary and Barb's for dinner. Great times with everyone.

We also received good news...Gabby is going to be a big sister!
