Monday

Monday morning started with the boys riding the tractor in their matching orange shirts, perfect photo op!
Joe loved the tractors! He could not get enough of them...except he did watch his grandpa very carefully and figured out how to turn this one on!
Luke, Porter and Joe-this picture shows their personalities so well...Luke the super serious one, Porter the mellow happy one, and Joe the cheesy happy one. Bev, Jamie and I then left the boys with Grandpa and dad and went and got manicures and pedicures for the wedding. We won't even go into that...let's just say Bev's and Jamie's turned out great and it took my guy an hour to do a manicure and this was no Citron Spa manicure. This was let's file your nails down to nubs after you worked so hard to grow them out and let's make the clear-pink color you picked out look like a hideous milky pink...enough said
For dinner we got to go to Aunt Ann's and it was delicious! The boys even got to feed the horses some apples after dinner. Here is Megan helping Luke...
Aunt Ann who was helping Joe...who was having none of it once these huge horses started actually walking towards him
Joe with our cousin John...who Joe dubbed as his best friend. Thanks for letting him eat a popsicle on your lap! Joe went right into Aunt Ann in the kitchen and asked for popsicles. Thanks Aunt Ann for spoiling our son!
John didn't realize that Joe wouldn't want him to stop after starting nor that everyone else would want to be thrown also.
Joe just hanging out with Aunt Ann and Uncle Jim in their beautiful new patio area.
I tried to scare Jamie with a frog...didn't work she is way too used to the farmland in Chicago.
We actually got Joe to hold the frog for one second. I was very impressed!
