Fishing With Papa and She-She

Today, my dad and Shari took Beau fishing today up by Dan's house.  I was a little nervous that Beau wouldn't have the attention span to go fishing, but he was perfect!  He first went digging for worms to use for bait for the fish.  Then he actually did the fishing on his own!  He caught 10 fish with his new Toy Story fishing pole :)  He was so proud of his first catch, as you can see from the picture above!  After fishing, Beau went and played in the pond with Easton and Lincoln.  I am so happy that Beau loves being outdoors and doing these type of activities.  I want him to always cherish this day that he had with Papa and She-She.

Future Babysitter

Banx is so in love with Baine.  The other night we were at my mom's, and Banx wanted to just play with Baine.  She kept asking to hold him, play with him, feed him, etc.  He loved the attention from her!  I finally asked her if she was ready to start babysitting :)

Baking Goodies With Nana

This Sunday there was a Bake-Off at church to raise money.  Nana had Beau and Banx each come out a day to bake something special with them to sell.  Beau actually did a great job helping Nana in the kitchen and wanted to do as much as he could.  Maybe these skills will stick around and he will want to bake and cook for mommy at home ;).  Beau ended up winning "Most Creative" at the bake-off and his cookies brought in $90!  Great job Beau-man!!!

Working on the Farm

Joe had to plant a test plot at Dennis' this week, so he decided to take Beau with him.  I think Beau is going to want to be a farmer when he grows up.  He loves to be at the farm, loves to ride in the tractors, combines and be helping in any way he can.  Beau decided to even help Den-Den load the planter up :)

Super Hero Day!

Last week, Beau had "Super Hero" day at school.  Of course he wanted to wear his cape.  We told him he needed to think of what his super power was going to be.  He said "blue rainbow super power"!  Whatever that means :)

Chasin' the Neighbor

Our neighbor, Brant, was mowing lawn the other night.  All of a sudden Joe looks over and Beau had went and got on his tractor, and rode over to chase Brant while he mowed.  He just loved making a competition out of everything :)

Shopping With Aunt Joi!

A couple of weekends ago, Aunt Joi took Tara, me, Beau and Banx shopping.  We needed to get a few last minute items for the kids for the wedding :).  Beau and Banx were so well behaved and were a hoot to have around!  They were asleep as soon as we left the parking lot to head home.  Thank you so much Aunt Joi for taking us, we always enjoy our time with you!

My little mini-me's.  Loving our Von Maur purchases :)
