Strawberry Fields Forever

There is a farm not too far from our house named Froberg’s, after the family that owns it. They have lots of fresh vegetables and some fresh fruit they grow there. Strawberries are one of the fruits they grow. You can pick your own fresh local grown strawberries for a lot cheaper than most organic fruits.
As you can see from the pictures we took Levi to pick out some strawberries. Kendra was feeling a lot better and wanted to get out of the house some more. I’m sure she’ll have some more pictures soon on her blog. There are a bunch with Levi and her. She actually was able to stand up holding him today. She still can’t hold him long or do any moving while holding him, but its a start.
Levi really got the hang of picking the strawberries. He picked a few himself. His main problem was knowing which ones to pick.
Here’s a strawberry flower. A lot of them were blooming. There were also a lot of bees out pollinating. We had to watch out for them.
Here’s some strawberries, a few waiting to be picked.
Levi enjoyed playing with the strawberries.
He was also happy to share them with you. He even fed one to Kendra.
After we were done I had to wipe his hands off. He had squeezed a few of the strawberries and gotten the juice all over his hands and face.
When we got home we were hanging out playing and I picked him up before I took him to bed for his nap. He was bumping his head against mine and smiling and laughing. Times like that make any other trouble worth it. Its so cute and so much fun having him.
As an aside, we got 3.5 pounds of strawberries. A pound of that is now strawberry preserves. The rest will end up chopped up and frozen or in the fridge. We can use it for pancakes and lots of other goodies.

Birthday celebrations.

Since Robert and mines birthdays are so close together, we usually celebrate them at the same time. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings with my Dad and Rhonda. Here is a picture of us playing before we left. I’m not sure how we managed to not get as many pictures. We were playing with the camera.

At BW3

On the way home. Notice the 1 shoe. It was cold out and he just would not leave his shoe on.

We went to Carinos with my Mom, Charlie, Matt and Jennifer.

Italian Cream Soda. Yum and free refills!!!

Blogger is acting weird so I will post more pictures later on.

Cute kid, eh?

Here’s Levi in his Go Redneck outfit. They call it “Go Texan” day and want everyone to wear boots and such. I’m a Texan and I don’t do that normally, so I call it Go Redneck, since that’s what they want you to dress like. His outfit is basically a white onesie with a vest sewn on the front.
Kendra took a shot of Levi sitting in his car seat on the way somewhere. He looks a little dazed. Kendra has a few more shots of him.
Here we are at Buffalo Wild Wings for our birthday. We went with Kendra’s dad and step mom. Levi liked his chicken tenders, and the spoon.
On Sunday we went to our favorite restaurant, Carinos. Levi was coloring on his menu for a while. Here he is showing off his crayon.
Levi loves playing with his Duplos. He also has a really cute jumpsuit on. He likes to dump out the Duplos, hence the mess.
Pay no attention to the baby behind the curtain.
Oooh, camera, let’s see how fast daddy can move.
Here’s our little Irish baby. He’s part Irish, so it works. Technically he should be wearing orange since he’s Protestant, but that’s okay.
He loves walking around with his spoon.
Kendra had her gall bladder out on Monday, so we’re home from work to let her rest and recover. I had to stay home to keep an eye on her for 24 hours in case anything happened. Levi was sad he couldn’t climb and hug on Kendra. He kept walking up to her and talking to her.
Levi had a lot of fun playing with the cats this morning. They were put up all night, so they were feeling frisky and having fun wrestling.
After a while they were playing in the laundry basket and Levi decided to take a look
Levi was batting at Tyler and Tyler was batting at Levi. It was pretty funny to watch.
Levi likes to dance when he hears music. If you’ve never seen a young kid dance its great. He bounces at his knees up and down. Its really cute to see, but hard to capture with a photo. Here he is mid dance.

That’s all for now, and that’s only over a few days. We’re having a lot of fun with the new camera. Its easier to catch good pictures of him with it.
