Pizza from the local Subway

Going to Chester with Mom

Hanging out at Trisha's house

Laughing so hard I was crying...
This is what happened: Dad said something smart about something stinking.. and mom said, "Yeah well your breath stinks.." everyone is silent...and Leah looks at Justin and says "That sounds like you and your comebacks..." and Justin says, "See its not my fault... Sometimes all I can come up with is, "yeah well... YOU!"" (I'm still laughing so hard typing this)

Enjoying everyone else Enjoying the company of Kenron.

Listening to Justin tell stories.

Watching mom make Kenron laugh

Hearing Dad say "God we'll never stay here" while watching mom play with K.

Laughing with Leah about "TAKE COVER!!"

The weather

When mom's co-worker thought I was dad's trophy wife...

When Noah sat in the back of the van and sang Kenron to sleep.

Watching K get mezmerized by the polka dots on my "hooter hider" and then look up and smile at me :)


Seeing all K's Great Grandparents gush over him :)

When Noah and Ron beat Mat and Aaron at the last minute while playing StarWars RISK.

Trying on antique Hat's with mom and laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants...

The weather...

The Tremblay Clan

Uncle Noah - Thought green poops, and Kenron's smiles were pretty funny.

Uncle David - The baby stealer, just like birdie.

Snoozin with Pepere - He learned all about Chocolate from Pepere

Auntie Trish! - He's laughing at Susan who is the Wiggles equivalent in baby entertainment

Not more that 2 minutes later.. tuckered out from all the entertainment

Mem got in on the snuggling...

4 Generations of Tremblays - Kenron's little smirk is totally from Mat.

All the boys - Uncle Aaron, Pepere, Bird, K and Uncle David.

Tia Chelsea! - Uncle Aaron's wife, She may try to steal the title of Favorite Daughter-in-law away from me.. but it'll never happen :) hehe I really had a good time visiting with Chelsea, I wish we lived closer.. *sigh*... Someday...

Uncle Pete - Was pretty impressed with what a good baby Kenron was :)

And last but not least.. yours truly and birdie.

Massachusetts

Our first order of buisness when we got to Mass was to visit Mem and Pep's house!
Mem loved to snuggle Kenron, the poor baby was having a hard time with his bottom teeth coming in (ALREADY!?!)
Tremblay men telling tall tales.

The first trip we took was to the Norman Rockwell Museum! Norman Rockwell is my hero/idol/strive to be like someday. So when I realized it was in driving distance from Ron's house I HAD to go. It was great, I loved being able to see the paintings up close to see what his brushstrokes looked like, and I was really impressed with his technique. Mom and Dad took Ron,Mat and I out for lunch/dinner at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge it was wonderful because we got to sit outside and the weather again, was perfect. It was a long day, so Kenron was pretty tuckered out when we got back.


But we were fresh and ready to head out the next day and go SHOP THE ANTIQUE STORES!! oh man, this is my FAVORITE thing to do. It was just K, Me, Mom and Dad in Mass but Mom, K and I got to go in VT too! Mom and I both found some treasures.. contemplated buying even more.. but this is what I came home with.. (the little book is from the N.R museum) There are 2 "Autumn Leaf" print bowls to add to my collection from Mac, 3 necklaces, and the rest are Christmas Ornaments.


Friday was Old Sturbridge Village!! hehehe this Picture of Birdie cracks me up!

This is the Carrige you could ride on...for a "small" ($5 a person!) fee

Kenron started smiling with his little tongue poking out when we were on vacation..he's too cute!

This was classic... Mom commented to the garden lady about her using sheep shears for clipping the veggies............40 minutes later shes Still going on about the garden and "jeruselem artichokes" Kenron and I managed to escape and find the other horse wagon guy! what a pair :)

Kenny-roo got a bath in Pepere's sink!

On the way home from Mass. after Mat left to the airport we stopped at the Yankee Candle Flagship Store where Mat and I used to meet when we were dating...

This is a picture of Me and K in the Gazebo where Mat proposed to me :)

We had so much fun introducing K to all the Tremblays and friends. I hope we can go back for Christmas!

The Cross Clan

Reading the book Pa-paw bought

laughing at my Ya-ya

Laughing at my Uncle Bub.. K laughed out loud with Bub just talking to him..it was instant love :)

Tia Leah got some good snuggle time in.. everyone took turns walking K around to sleep, he was in heaven.

Good Morning!

Ya-ya is also in love...

Silly goose!

Here is another early morning pic... I love how Leah has about 15 layers on.. and Justin just barely has pants on :) hehe I love those chilly mornings up north.

Great Grammie and Grampa Bucca - Bucca is the name my generation gave him.. but when he wrote K a letter he signed it Grampa Bucca..(A little redundant, like grammie grammie)I thought it was so funny I cant stop calling him that.

We think Kenron looks the most like Justin


How do I love Leah.. Let me counts the ways.. She is the EXACT image of the future wife I imagined for Justin, and I love her company. We have too much fun :)

Camping!

Well, despite getting caught in the nationwide Airport miscommunication, and sitting in the plane for two hours while we waited for the OK to take off, on our second connecting flight, we arrived in New England safe and sound. Kenron was perfect on the plane.. and when I say perfect I MEAN perfect... you know I would have told you the ridiculous story if he wasnt :) Actually speaking of ridiculous.. (those who go to church with us will get a kick out of this).. Guess who we saw standing in line when we got to the Airport? Jeremy Cole! And wouldnt you know it he was on our first flight! He was a great help, He offered to watch my bags while K and I went and got breakfast and he played with K while I ate, He didnt get to sit next to us on the plane but when we got off I told him I would make sure to tell everyone "It was the nicest thing he's ever done for me" I'm mad I didnt have my camera to catch that randomness.. ok back to Camping..

When K and I first got to Vermont we had a couple days at home with Pa-paw visiting the people at his work, and shopping for food and things to get ready for camping...

Here's Kenron and his twin Paw-pa.. Can you read K's shirt? It says "Lets Go Camping"

We slept in my folks camper, the weather was beautiful! We couldnt have asked for better weather, warm and sunny with a breeze.. ahhh perfect. Ya-ya always got to hang out with K first thing in the morning.. He sure does love his Ya-ya.

This is one morning, he is so happy when he first wakes up!

Ya-ya also got to give him a bath in the Camper.. that was a bit of a tight squeeze :) But he loved it! Ya-ya also liked to change diapers and talk to K .. you should ask her about "Respecting the Pee-pee" K had a little "fountain" episode because Ya-ya was talking and making him laugh a little too long in the middle of a diaper change :)

Camping with Tia Leah is always fun.. you get pedicures and haircuts!

Kenron got to sleep out in the open when we were packing up the stuff to head to Mass. to meet the Tremblays.

Do you like his very manly sheets?

K went on walks and had some naps, and met some dogs and lots of people from church, and smiled at everyone. He was all tuckered out after this walk with Ya-ya.

And this.. THIS was the cream of the crop.. the JUMPEROO! K loved this thing.. it became his new poop chair.. no more poops in the bouncy seat.. nope I want the JUMPEROO! So it came with us camping. K Cristened this thing more than once..but miraculously it never got on the seat.. only in every outfit. But really.. Outdoors in the fresh air jumping around, can you blame him? Who wouldnt want to poop like that?
