Somebody's Dancing and a Signing!

Gotta love Abram's dancing and singing he just started enjoying!

Homemade Applesauce!

Jen bought a much anticipated appler peeler/corer and has been putting it to use this fall...with her little helper!

"Uncle" Taking Abram on John Deere Ride

"Uncle" (Mitch) took Abram on a ride on the John Deere lawn mower for fun after Brady used it to roll out the new gravel on Ehresman's driveway. So FUN!

Tia Leti's Birthday Party!

As you know, Abram's Tia (aunt) Leti came to visit us over Labor Day weekend. We captured a lot of video footage from the weekend, and here's the first video of us celebrating Leti's birthday (9/1)!

Chow time fun!

Rocks & Dinner Time Fun!

It's been a little while since we've posted some videos of our little man, so here are a few fun videos of Abram playing in the rocks, which he loves, and being a funny man at dinnertime!

Happy 1st Birthday Abram!!!

We just celebrated Abram's 1st birthday on April 24, 2010!!! He had a great monkey birthday party with lots of family and friends...here are a few video clips from the BIG day! We love you Abram!

Cheesing it up in his monkey hat that Aunt Kate got him!



Look at my (mommy's) chair!

Texas Two...or Seven Step!

Even though our little man is still on 'fall arrest' (we're supposed to keep him from falling until x-ray in 1 week), he is starting to walk! He's getting more confident every day, transitioning from cruising to standing and walking! It's so fun to watch him gain confidence...and you can see his 7 step record so far in this video recorded tonight!

Tickle Me Elmo...I Mean Abram!

Our good friend Joel Vint captured this brief episode on Friday night (which has been a daily/nightly occurrence lately) of Abram laughing like crazy from mommy's tickles! Gotta love the laughs!

Abram's Doing Great Update!

Abram is doing great by God's grace and kindness in spite of suffering a slight skull fracture on Friday evening (3.5.10) and spending the night at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames. He "wooed" everyone at the hospital, including us...by being the best patient we've ever seen, even at 1:30a! We love you Abram and thank God that you are recovering very well from your injury.

CALIFORNIA: Stingray Catch on Newport Beach Pier

This one's for our nephew Brady who I thought would love to see this. A young boy had just caught a stingray fishing off the Newport Beach Pier. You won't find this in Iowa...maybe the equivalent of catching a snapping turtle!

So, here you go Brady!

CALIFORNIA: Ruby's Diner at Newport Beach Pier

Here we are atop Ruby's Diner at the Newport Beach Pier...Abram is too cute!

CALIFORNIA: Balboa Island Ferry Ride

Here we are riding across the bay on the Balboa Island ferry...so fun!

CALIFORNIA: Huntington Beach Pier!

I forgot to post some videos from our recent trip to California...so here we go!

This video is from the Huntington Beach (Surf City USA)Pier where the waves were awesome just after a storm and Abram loved it! I took a lot of video footage here because it is my favorite place, but decided just to post this one since it is the most action-packed with the waves!
