A New Phrase For Bobby!

Today, Mommy and Daddy and I went to Warrenton, VA to do some Geneaology research on Mommy's side of the family. Mommy and Daddy had a successful trip. I was a big helper too. While daddy was making copies of what they found, I would take the copies out and lay them on the table. Sometime soon we are going to go to Front Royal, VA and do some more research. While we were in the library, I said a new phrase. I said; "Oh my gosh." Mommy and daddy have never heard me say that and they thought I was so cute. Mommy took a picture of my saying it. I am sooo cute!!

A surprise at home

Before we had left for Colorado, daddy had been telling me that my aunt Karen had a baby in her tummy. When we got home, we found out that my aunt has two babies in her tummy! I'll be getting two more cousins this fall!!

I want Nona!!!

I didn't want to leave on Wednesday, and Nona gave me two cars to take with me, along with snacks for the plane. All the way home I kept asking for Nona and saying that we were going to go see her. I sure missed her! But on our flight from Minneapolis to Washington National a flight attendant, named Sam, gave me a pair of wings. Mylan, a great flight attendant, even let me sit in her seat as we were at the gate waiting to get off the plane.

Me and Nona

Monday morning we said goodbye to Karen, Reagan and Harrison as they left to go back to South Dakota. I was very sad to see them go, and wanted to go with them! To help me feel better, Nona took me, and mommy and daddy, to the park, then made me breakfast. Thanks Nona! I fell asleep on the way to lunch, but did get to see a house that daddy wanted to see. It was the house pictured in some TV show called "Mork and Mindy". After my nap I had a great time playing with Nona, Stella, her dog, and Audrey and Chica, her cats! We played cards and puzzles, and went out back to play in the rock garden. I kept telling mommy and daddy to go back inside!





Tuesday morning I wished that mommy, daddy, and I had stayed inside! We tried walking to Logan's for breakfast, and we ended up going the wrong way. Luckily Nona called and met us at another coffee shop, and drove us home. Then we went to Pearl Street, which was an outdoor mall that had rocks to play on and metal animals to sit on. I even got to see the whole gang of mom's friends too. After my lunch and nap, Nona and I made chocolate chip cookies! They were yummy!

Playground and Idaho Springs

I got up at 4:15 and couldn't understand why it wasn't light outside, and why mommy and daddy weren't thrilled to see me awake. After all, to me it was 6:15 AM, and I was hungry and ready for action! Eventually my cousins awoke, and we headed to Logan's for breakfast, and then out to this neat playground. I enjoyed the swings, but didn't like this other circle ride, it went too fast for me! There were also paragliders sailing down from the mountain above.



We then took a ride up to Idaho Springs Colorado, which was a mining town, for pizza. It was nice having pizza with my cousins, and with mommy, daddy, Nona, and her friends.

Browns, Browns, and more Browns!

When we got to Denver, Aunt Karen picked us up at the airport. Silly daddy was looking around for Karen's car and talking on his cellphone and telling Karen where we were, and she said, "Kevin, look to your right", then daddy said, "oh, I guess I can hang up now". Daddy also was surprised that Denver was flat. Yes, it is at 5,280 feet, but it is on the edge of the Plains. Guess he needs to brush up on his geography too! On our way to Boulder, we could see the snow-capped Rockies in the background. I was happy to see Harrison and Reagan too. Nona's friend Andy made some delicious lasagna for us to have, then it was off to bed.

Hanging out in Minneapolis

Here I am having fun during our layover to Denver at the Minneapolis airport. A miniature airplane and control tower, what fun! I also had fun running on the moving walkways in the airport.

Mommy's Birthday

Today while I was at school daddy took mommy out to lunch and to see Angels and Demons to celebrate her birthday. Mommy even stopped by Gymboree to see Kim, I wish I could have seen Kim. I miss Kim so much. That evening mommy daddy and I went to Agio's at the Pookshill Marriott for dinner to celebrate mommy's birthday with Pops, Gams, Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott and my cousin, Abbey. I had so much fun playing with Abbey. It was a good thing that we ate in the private room so that Abbey and I could run around. We even climbed the chairs and ran across them. Abbey goes to Little Gym and so she taught me some things that she does there and I did it too like somersaults. We even played under the tables too. We played more than we ate. For Desert, mommy got Tiramisu with a candle on top and Happy Birthday Jennifer was written in chocolate on the plate. That was really neat. Mommy had a great time and so did I. I did not want to leave. Thanks to Aunt Amy we have pictures to share with everyone. Thank you again Aunt Amy.
