Cornelius

First Day of Preschool

2010-08-26T05:29:39Z

Cornelius started his first day of “big kid preschool”. He was so excited to make new friends. On his way to school I asked him if he was nervous and he looked and me and scoffed “no”. I guess it was a silly question! As soon as he got there he went right in and made himself at home. I think it will be a great year!

Summer Fun

I’m not sure where the rest of summer went, but here is an update of some of the fun things we did this summer!

Cornelius and his friend Morgan with Clifford at the Omaha Children’s Museum

The air balloon at the museum – always a favorite!

The beginning or our day at Adventureland!

Pilot Cornelius

Some rides never get old – Here’s the Froggy Hopper!!!

Sometimes the best times are just staying at home playing with your own toys!

Cornelius can hardly wait until he is just like his Daddy! It will be awhile before he can fill those shoes! But Cornelius does his best to try!

Great Grandma turned 95! We went out to help her celebrate!

Aunt Jenny & Madison

Alex with Great Aunt Lori

Crazy cousins! It was a fun & busy day!

We had a blast at Elkhorn days, but the 95 degree temp wore everyone out!

Casa Bonita

We also made it to Casa Bonita. Cornelius is still talking about the robber who fell in the water, the gorilla, and the pirates . . . We had a blast!

Boys drive the motor cycle, but he invited Lindsey to ride on the back, because “That’s what boys do”

The Ring Bearer

Cornelius was the ring bearer in Michael & Gwen’s wedding this weekend. He did a GREAT job! He loved hanging out with the big boys and was content to do whatever the groomsmen did.

The Big Blue Bear

2010-06-20T14:49:29Z

Our first day in Denver and Aunt Sonia said that we needed to see the big blue bear. Well, once Cornelius hears something that catches his ear he won’t let you forget it! So finally today we got to see the BIG BLUE BEAR!

Happy Father’s Day Daddy!

That is one BIG BLUE BEAR!

The PARTY!

Well a little boy can hardly turn four without a big party with the family!

4 going on 5

2010-06-10T14:23:44Z

Well our big boy is now four years old. He had a wonderful SPIDEY birthday!

Now that he has turned 4, he is getting excited to turn 5, because when he turns 5 he can take a lunchbox to school . . . I just want time to slow down and enjoy 4 as long as I can!

Summer Spidey

We went to the SAC Air Museum for Cornelius’s birthday so he could see the special Pod Racer exhibit. He was pretty impressed!

Cornelius was busy directing air traffic . . . “Mission Control”

Daddy & Cornelius checking out the big planes!

. . . the highlight of the day was the $.25 space ride :-)

We built a castle there too! It was lots of fun!

He may think he is a big kid, but my little boy still gets worn out from a big day.
