"Fine, I'll eat the apple."

"But I won't swallow it."

I wonder if the old an apple a day saying applies to dogs too??

Motorcycles, Football & Cars

"Can I keep it Grandma??"

Watching the Colts.....


" My new car....this is the life...."

"Faster Dad!"

Caution - If you happen to stop pushing him too soon he'll let you know in no uncertain terms that he isn't ready to stop yet. He turns, points at the push bar and grunts until the human motor behind him starts up again.

Looks like bath time......

Lainey Attacking Sam

Our Lastest Zoo Adventure

This weekend Uncle Jason was in town so we all headed off to the zoo for some good old family fun.....

Minus Uncle Jason who couldn't get out of bed....

Sam & Grandma L looking at the penguins

Sam, warming up to the goats....

Feeding the goats.
(Daddy stayed outside the fence..... Chicken.....)

Then, after he had been doing so well with the goats Sam met his match......

(Cute side note- when Sam sees this picture he says "mooo")

Sam trying to feed the cow.....

See the video clip at the end of the blog.........

Sam and "Dada-da"

Back home on Labor day, our big boy & his dog.....

My boys keeping watch in the front yard......

Lainey:"Finally a break from my guard dog duties!"

Sam (And Phil) vs. the Cow

Our other zoo highlight was riding the train.... which once again I failed to photograph. It was Sam's first time on the train with Daddy & Grandma and I think they were both amazed at how much Sam liked it. Despite the long line & short ride...Phil has been asking to go back to the zoo ever since we left solely to ride the train....on Sam's behalf of course......

Hopefully more pics of the weekend to come soon after I mooch them off Uncle Jason.....

Side note,

I realized that Sam is much more observant than I ever gave him credit for this morning when he picked up a cue tip and stuck it in his ear......

Time to start watching what we say and do around around our little sponge.....

My 25 Year Old Son

One week post illness Sam's feeling better, still on all kinds of medicines but cleared to go out in public! Kindermusic here we come!!!!

Is it just me, or does his new hair-do courtesy of "Chuck the Barber" make him look like he's 25????
