Really Fun Week end!!!

Johnny and his little friend Chloe on Friday. I did not set this up!!! We where all watching Elmo, when I got down and Johnny climbed back up and tucked them both in.

Saturday all the Dennisons got together at the duck pond for some family pictures and then everyone came over to our house for a birthday dinner for Daddy, ribs, macaroni salad, potato fries and Boston creme pie!

Thankfully Uncle Chuckles, Aunt Chel and Wyatt where able to come and visit for the week end!! Ella loved that Uncle Chuckles was reading books to her, and Johnny joined right in when he learned they where Elmo books.

While the adults talked and drank some beer (non alcoholic for Mommy) Grams and Pops took all the grand kids to the local park.

Johnny had a runny nose all week end, but it didn't slow him down!!


Swinging away with Cousin Wyatt.

When they got back from the park, it was time for a diaper change! Sam needed one too :) and Johnny just loves his little cousin. Yes that shirt is a picture of two monkeys and says "I'm the big brother!" Uncle Chuckles picked it up from the Carters outlet in Ohio...it is perfect!!!

Ella and Johnny put the candles on Daddy's pie!

Then we all sang to Daddy. Wow Momma's hair is long!

Ella teaching Johnny how to play games on the computer.

Sunday we dressed Johnny up and took him to the Renaissance Fair, isn't he cute? Those are Christmas pants that Mommy adjusted to make nickers. We are going to expand this into his Halloween costume.

Johnny wasn't so excited about the turkey leg, still a little much for him to chew, but he did like feeding it to Daddy :)

Ahh the Ye Olde Play Ground, we spent a good hour here and Johnny could have spent much more!

See him clapping? He really loves slides!

But he always goes down backwards, at least he doesn't go forward.

Moving on the pirate ship, arrg.


Now this was a real slide!! I thought the toddler would be scared, but he did it 5 times!!!

After the playground we walked around for a little while and heard some really exciting Irish music, Johnny started jumping around in the stroller and clapping, so we stopped to listen.

We discovered a teething monkey today, so we let him have him binky on and off. (He has two new teeth, that makes 14 teeth now!!!) When he would get excited I would ask for it and he would happily hand it to me. Here he is getting happy and dancing to the music.

Then we moved closer so Johnny could see everything and the women started dancing, the classic Irish step dancing, and Johnny joined right in and started to copy them!

Letting Johnny pick out a toy was a lot of fun! This "war axe" had a foam "blade" and he thought it was hilarious to attack Mommy.

Then given this little untreated wooden dagger he like to "stab" Daddy :)

So we got him the dagger and now he is plotting world domination.

The Day at the Renn Fair was A LOT of fun, I really treasure being able to share these things with Johnny and especially when he enjoys them too :) He fell asleep very fast in the car holding his binky...that is how tired he was!

When we took Johnny to Walmart on Friday this is what he picked out...a "qwak qwak." For some reason he really loves ducks right now. This one is extra cute since it is a big duck and a little duck, big brother and little peanut :)

Family Togetherness for Aunt Chel's Birthday

Aunt Chel turned 28 on Thursday and Uncle Chuckles got her a plane ticket to come home and see her family and all of us. Yesterday we all got together at Grams and Pops house for crabs and cheesecake...it was a lot of fun!!! Johnny really loves his cousins!

As soon as we walked in the door he found Sam and ran to her and hugged her!

And when she got sad he gave her her binky.

And shared his cookie with Daddy, for some reason feeding adults is very funny.

Johnny became the carrier of corn, taking the corn from the shucking place to the cooking place...and only eating a little in between.


Johnny now has TWO baby cousins, so the big boy sat and ate at the table with the grown ups...look at that big boy.


Momma made her home made mac and cheese again, not as good this time :( But Johnny still really loved it!


In fact he thought that everyone should "share"with him, so if your plate was with in reach of him, he was eating off of it...thanks Aunt Natnie :)

Cleaning up his mess, he used the pan to sweep.

Time for some pictures and Ella loves her cousins too :)


Look at that FOUR grand kids!!! That is a pretty cute bunch.


"Little" Sam, now 7 weeks old...holy crap that girl is big! and cute and sweet!


Wyatt now almost 9 months old, in the hat Aunt Nenni made for him, he was a sweet heart all night, and very happy to see everyone.


Look at the look on Johnny's face, he was so excited that he was really being handed Sam!!!


Uncle Shawn making "kissy" faces at Wyatt and having him laughing.


Some Uncle of Johnny's let him play in a piece of cheesecake :) Johnny loved it...of course.


After cake and presents we are sat around and let the kids play, Johnny hopped around to make sure maximum playage with everyone, he started on the chalkboard.


They roughhoused "with" Wyatt. They played with his door for a while, opening the door back and forth.


Then Johnny decided he wanted a hug...after this Johnny climbed over Wyatt and tried to wreste with him :)


After Wyatt, Johnny found Ella and Aunt Natnie building. Johnny inevitedily knocked over the towers and then tried to help rebulid them, Godzilla toddler.


But Aunt Natnie forgave him :)

It was really nice to see Michele and Wyatt again, since now they live in Ohio, and to have all the kids together. They where all very well behaved! and sweet and loved to play with each other.

I think I took something like 86 pictures last night, so here are the rest of them
