Peanut Post: Cousin Avery!

I got to meet my cousin Avery this weekend. On Saturday, mom and dad loaded me up in the car again and we drove down to Charleston, West Virginia. I have no idea where that is because I was sleeping. Avery was very cool and I can't wait to hang out some more...maybe back in the country we can get our own 4-wheelers!










Real Country

Of course, the real country member of the family has always been Lacey. She shows us the ways of the country Jedi and was able to take sling-baby on a little walk.










Peanut Post: Uncle Eric and Aunt Marilyn

I got a couple of visitor's on Friday night...Marilyn and Eric! While I wasn't too cuddly, I did take at least a couple of moments to show them that I can be quite the charmer!

Peanut Post: I Went Country Too!

Well.....maybe not so much. Other than trying to eat anyone that would hold me....see GMaP below...I took some baths and tried to stay awake as long as I could.....mission accomplished.































Gone Country: Day 3

Moo cows and 4-wheelers...oh, and more bush-hoggin! I love this stuff...there's almost not enough time in a day to work on all of the chores Ken has planned out...luckily he carries refreshments to make sure we're not too parched...un-luckily....it's of the Beast variety :-(





































Pupdate: Introducing 'Country'

Mia got her first taste of multi-day outdoor time...and she took advantage. When asked how she was doing........"she's gone country!"

Gone Country: Day 2

Friday morning brought a decent sleep by the little man, as well as some more work 'down on the farm'. I finally got to learn a bit about the tractor as I did some Bush-Hogging...is it an adjective, a noun, a verb???? Well, I've learned that it's a way of life...and Ken tells me I'm the quickest/best he's seen. Perhaps ol' Ken has a few more areas that need some bush hoggin and these compliments are not completely altruistic.



















Gone Country: Day 1

Wednesday afternoon, we loaded up the family truckster...dogs, kid, wife, luggage, diaper bags, camera's, computers, etc., and headed down to Marietta to hang with Grandma and Grandpa Pottmeyer. Mya and Mattie enjoyed the next five days in the great weather outside (yes, Mya went country too...in fact, that is her new nickname when she goes down to Marietta. Lacey and Connor got to know each other and GMaP around the house. GPaP and Ryan had some chores...this was the first.

We headed down to the new property and removed some old fence posts and put about 7 new ones in. The ground was needless to say VERY hard so it took a bit of time, but in the end we won.























































CAUTION: BEWARE OF CUTENESS

Mom (with the help of friend's and family) discovered a new tool to fight some of Mr. Connor's meltdowns. So, the first picture is the sling that Mom wear's, and the second is where the little man in the sling lives. PEEKEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOOO!










Peanut Post: Mia Likes Me!

This is my new friend Mia. Rich is her dad who is my dad's running friend. It's hard to follow, but the basic understanding is that she held me nice and we are now friends! Not pictured are Mia's sister Sophie and Mia's mom Holly...who I also like and I do believe they thought I was cool too.
