Sean's First Blizzard - the Blizzard of 2009

Sean had a fantastic time playing in the snow during his "first" blizzard. He loved trying to eat the snow - and laughed when Mommy made her first snow angel in about 20 years (there are no pics of this!) - By this morning when we went out - the snow was up to his waist, so he wasn't able to move much - but he still loved it. I had to bribe him to go inside with promises of hot chocolate.

All dressed in his snow gear (Thanks Grammy!) and ready to go!


This was Brooks' first blizzard too - and he LOVED it!



Sean is standing in the snow - as you can see - it comes up to his waist!

Mommy & Sean in the snow - about 1/2 way through the storm.

Sean checking it all out...He loved to eat the snow (don't worry - we taught him NOT to eat the yellow snow!)...

Jingle Bells

Here's a cute video of Sean singing his "version" of Jingle Bells...

Santa Express

Today, we took Sean on the Santa Express train on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad from Cumberland to Frostburg. Sean loved seeing Santa and a good time was had by Daddy, Mommy, and Grammy as well...

A November Day at the Park with Pop-Pop

We spent a beautiful November Sunday morning at the park near Pop-Pop's house. Sean had a great time swinging with Pop-Pop, sliding, and steering the "Choo-Choo" train that is in the park.

Halloween Fun!

Sean had a festive Halloween. The festivities kicked off with a costume parade at his school...

Getting ready for the parade.

Walking in the parade (Sean did a great job and wasn't distracted because Mommy was there).

Walking with his class...

Then on Saturday night - Sean went Trick or Treating. He had a blast - and learned to say "Trick or Treat" - and came home with a pumpkin full of candy!!!



Walkin' with Daddy while Trick-or-Treating!

Getting more candy!

What a great Chicken!!!

"I want pigtails too!"

Last Friday, Sean's teacher was putting pigtails in all of the little girls hair in Sean's class. He became very upset and wanted pigtails too. So, Miss Caity gave him pigtails - and was very apologetic about it when Daddy picked Sean up. It's an interesting "do" - and one we hope doesn't repeat itself when he is older...:)

The Frederick Fair 2009

Today, Sean & I went with John to his soccer game. The park where John plays has a great playground. Then, we took Sean to the Frederick Fair for lunch, rides & to see the animals. The big hits of the day were riding the helicopter ride, seeing the cows, and sitting on a tractor! All in all, a great day!

Playing on the slide while Daddy played soccer.


Look at me! I'm on a BIG tractor!


Riding the merry-go-round with Mommy!



Riding the helicopter with Mommy - I think that Mommy is a little too big for this ride!! (and one of my high-school friends saw me on this and has threatened to post this pic on the internet, so I figured I'd beat him to it!).

Getting ready to take off!

Sean going down the "tractor" slide (a slide that goes through the tractor - once again, I held the cameral the wrong way).

Summer Vacation 2009

We spent 4 days at the New Jersey shore - and had a GREAT time. We visited John's old office & co-workers at the Taj, we went to the Atlantic City Aquarium - and spend 2 days on the beach - in Ocean City, NJ & Strathmere, NJ. All in all, a great trip!

A Country Boy Can Survive

Sean LOVES country music - and has one song in particular that he asks us to play "Again, Again!". He loves to dance & bob to the music - as you can see from this video. Enjoy!

Harpers Ferry

Here's a video of our day in Harpers Ferry...:)


My Montage 8/29/09
The church that you see in the video is where Ann (John's sister) and Bradd were married. Granddad is a member there - and John went there many times as a child...

Sean's Visit with his Great-Grandparents

Having fun with GG (Great-Grandma)


Sean makes GG laugh!



Playing on the porch furniture - which was blocking Sean's access to GG's indoor pool!

How can I get to the pool!?

We took Sean to visit his great-grandparents today. John's grandparents (and Sean's great-grandparents) live on a beautiful piece of land overlooking the Potomac River in Harpers Ferry, WV. Sean had fun climbing on their deck furniture, playing with the slinky that GG (Great-Grandma) gave him - and watching the trains & planes fly by....

Sean's Playdate with Henry!

Sean & Henry playing!


Sean is having FUN!



Erin & Sean! (Erin had just found out that she's expecting their 2nd child!)





Sean & Henry!

How much fun they had!!

John's best friend from college (High Point University) visited us a few weeks ago. Will, Erin & Henry live in Charlotte, NC - but were heading north and stopped for the night. Henry is 2 weeks older then Sean - and the 2 boys had a GREAT time together!

Gettysburg Irish Festival

Sean attended his 1st Irish Festival today in Gettsyburg. He LOVED dancing to the Irish bands - as you can see in the video below - and he loved walking around to the vendors. The shirt he is wearing was bought at the same Irish Festival when I was pregnant with him 2 years ago. A good time was had by all!

S
Mommy & Sean enjoying the day!


Dancin'

Snack Time!


These are good pretzels!

Daddy & Sean

Annual 4th of July picnic!

Friends that John grew up with have an annual 4th of July picnic at their house - and this was Sean's 1st appearance! He was the youngest child there - but had a blast on the swingset, dancing, playing with balloons, watching the big kids in the pool - and just running around. Sorry for the sideways video!

Fun in the Sprinkler!

We spent the 4th of July morning playing in the yard with the sprinkler. Sean LOVES to play in water. Sorry that the video is sideways!!

4th of July = Walkersville Carnival

We kicked off the long holiday weekend by taking Sean to the Walkersville Carnival. It was his 1st time to a carnival - and he had a BLAST! Grammy, Pop-Pop & Bob-Bob joined us - and we ran into cousins Paton & Rylee unexpectedly. Sean had a blast riding some rides with Paton, Grammy, Pop-Pop, and Mommy. He especially loved his "Fishy" that mommy won for him. Unfortunately - "Fishy" did not make it through the 1st day - RIP Fishy! We'll be getting "Fishy II" this week....

Sean's 1st Bike Ride

We finally got a child seat for John's bike - so tonight was Sean's first bike ride. He smiled from ear-to-ear (and so did Daddy) as they drove up and down the street. Now, Mommy needs to get a bike so we can take family bike rides :)
