Crazy Kids

Last Sunday, Brook and Austin had Harlow at church with them.  Beau loves to play with Harlow!  It was so fun to see all the kids playing together at church, then at lunch.  Joe is such a softie when it comes to the kids.  He loves them all and is definitely a kid at heart.  We hope Harlow is able to come home more often over the summer---Beau, Banx and Harlow will definitely get into trouble when they get older!

Learning to Crawl

Baine is so ready to crawl!  Actually, he wants to walk!  I don't think he will be crawling for long before he just starts walking one day.  He is finally learning to sit well on his own, and now is in the process of taking small crawls.  We actually caught his first attempt at crawling the other night on video :)

Brotherly Love

Beau is such a great big brother.  He is always concerned about Baine and is always wanting to help take care of him.  It has become a morning ritual that when mommy and daddy are getting ready for work, they lay in bed together and watch cartoons until it's time to get ready to leave.  Beau always makes sure Baine has a bottle, is under the blankets, and then holds his hand.  It is the most precious sight for a mother to see.

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 :)
