"On the Go"

If you know us at all, you know that we are always on the go. Last weekend was no exception. On Saturday, we headed south to Scranton, PA where Daddy's Aunt Sharon & Uncle Mike live, along with his cousins and their families. We were there for our second cousin, Kaitlin's graduation party. It was a hot day, but the heat didn't bother us! Teddy and I were on the run playing with other kids and chasing each other for 4 hours straight! Here is us with Kaitlin's brother Michael. He is a Yankee fan like us. It took about a hundred tries to get this photo where Teddy & I were finally both looking at the camera....and look! Michael has his eyes closed!


It was midnight before we got back home from our trip to Scranton. Mom Mom and Daddy put us up to bed, and were totally surprised when we didn't wake up until almost 9 AM! Mom Mom was already working on a big breakfast for her boys. With it being Father's Day, we wanted to show Daddy just how much we appreciate all his hard work for our family. We spent some time in the morning just cuddling, wrestling, giving him presents and making sure he felt our love. We didn't get to hang around home for too long though.

We left just before lunch to go visit Papa Peters and wish him a Happy Father's Day. We love playing at his house and watching baseball games together. But, we didn't even stay there for too long. Sunday was also my Gram Gram Peters' birthday! So, after visiting Papa for a while, we headed to "the lake" for a birthday dinner with Gram Gram, Great-Grandpa and Grandma Young and us!

The lake was a great end to a busy weekend. We enjoyed the water, ate some yummy steak dinner, spent some time with Gram Gram, and even had some time to watch Daddy do a bit of fishing.

Teddy likes to throw rocks in the water...or at Mom Mom and her camera!

Our Annual Father's Day Photo....too bad it was almost 9 PM and I was too tired for photos...

...and about 15 minutes later in the car....

Goofy Brother Teddy

Did you know that my brother Teddy can be a real goof sometimes? He makes us laugh everyday with his antics. Here are just a few photos to show you what I mean...

Sometimes he thinks he is a lion...
And sometimes he is a "Wild Thing" showing his terrible claws...

And he never wears his hats the right way...

And if he does, then he has a funny face on...

But me? I am the first born, so I like things just so. I tend to be in charge. Here you can see that I am the conductor of the Polar Express (a.k.a Grammy's dining room chairs lined up in a row). All aboard!

To catch you up on news, we had a GREAT Memorial Day weekend. This is sort of a backwards view of it since the pictures are not in order, but oh well! If I took time to fix it, this blog may never get posted! Sunday, Uncle Gary and Aunt Jane came for an overnight visit. Aunt Jane read us a bedtime story. Uncle Gary's big arms and deep voice made the perfect combination for Denton to enjoy a nap.

Saturday was spent at "the lake", my Great-Grandpa and Grandma's cottage, and one of our favorite places on Earth! Daddy had a lot of family in town, with his Aunt, Uncle and cousins from Scranton, PA and there families. That made for lots of people, lots of food and lots of fun!

The next phase of great-grandchildren for Grandpa & Grandma Young all are BOYS! Here is all of us lined up on the railroad ties...a bit of a tradition!

Cohen (5), Tyrus (3), Teddy (2), Dawson (1 1/2), Cooper (2 1/2)

This was Denton's first visit to the Lake! He wore his Penn State outfit just for the PA crew!

Nothing like a little foot massage from Great-Grandpa!

Playing in the water, running around with my cousins, being out in the sun...all require frequent hydration!

Here is my cousin, Cooper. He is a wild one and this photo seems to capture that spirit in him!

And, when the fun day comes to a close, there is one last thing to do. Go out on the dock with Daddy and Aunt Shel for a few casts in the sunset!

Denton at Home

I'm sure everyone is interested in some more photos of Denton. He is settling in well with us at home. He turned 4 weeks old yesterday and is growing like a weed! He is back at the doctor's next week and we are all interested to see how much he has grown.

Here is Denton taking his first real bath with Grammie Peterson. He wasn't so sure about this one, but has gotten more used to them now. This was actually a few weeks ago now, so even though he is filling out and round here, he is even more chunky now!



I'm really enjoying having a baby brother. I still like to hold him when I can, and if I can't, I always give him a kiss. Sometimes I can hold him AND give him a kiss!

All these warm temperatures had us looking for a way to cool off. For a few days, that meant water in a snow sled. Teddy and I enjoyed splashing around it in and playing with our trucks. Mom Mom and Dad did get us a new pool finally! Now we can really cool off! It even has a slide and a sprinkler! We are in and out of it so much that Mom gave up on trying to keep us in swimsuits and let us go in our birthday suits!

While we play outside, Denton usually takes a nap in the stroller. He loves the fresh air and seems to be comforted by the sounds of Teddy and I playing nearby.

So, life with Denton at home is good! Even though we haven't left home much, we've still stayed really busy. I guess that is just life with three boys!
