Trampoline Time









Grandmother bought the boys a trampoline as an early Christmas present for the boys. They love it and I know they will get lots of use out of it! Thanks Grandmother!!

What-A-Burger

What-A-Burger recently celebrated its 60th birthday. They served free hamburgers to anyone that came in wearing orange. Sooooo, the whole family dressed up in our finest orange shirts and headed down for some free food!Thomas enjoyed his beverage ~ which was not free!
Will had fun playing with his trumpet ~ or as most people call it, straw!

Backyard Fun


Will had a blast riding down the big hill in our backyard on the BMW car. It went really, really fast.
He also rode the John Deere tractor down the hill and crashed into the BMW. This is an action shot of the crash ~ the steering wheel came off but Will never let go!
Thomas and his love for dandelions!
Audrey was a good sport about pulling Thomas up the hill in the wagon.
Then she hopped in and went for a ride with Thomas!
Ta-da ~ they made it safe and sound!
The kids decided to play in the kiddie pool next.
Plenty of splash and playing going on.
Thomas did his best to talk Conner into giving him the water hose ~
But didn't have much luck!
Big splash!
Audrey was soaked, too!


All in all it was a fun day!

Fireworks

Will was in awe of the fireworks show. Either that or just really tired!I think Thomas might have pulled a muscle in his neck from looking up so much!
Don't worry ~ the fireworks really were further away than they look.
"Yep, that was a big one!"
The boys had super long sparklers ~ much safer than the shorter ones!
Will snuggled up with dad to watch the last a the fireworks.
Joined shortly by Thomas. After this weekend the boys are going to think there are always fireworks at the lake. Guess we won't be able to stay out there after dark anymore!

Water Fun!

We took the boat out for a little spin ~ as well as some of the family. Ben and Luke went first!Holding on TIGHT! Luke never lost his grip ~ even when his daddy was thrown off he stayed on the tube.

Next is Thomas and Daddy. This kid LOVES riding on the tube!
I love that they both have the same expression ~ eyes closed tight!
Now Ben's back on the tube with Thomas AND Luke.
Yep ~ everyone is have a great time. Until..........
Ben and Thomas seem to be sliding off the back, but not Luke!
Yep ~ look who ended up in the water. It was impossible to wipe that smile off of Thomas's face! And by the way, Luke was still hanging onto the tube!And where were Gray and Will during all of the tubing madness? On the boat supervising!
I asked the boys to turn around and these are the expressions I got!
Will tried to sneak a drink from an empty Diet Coke can. It was all gone!I love the expression on Will's face. Kinda like "I know something you don't know!"When we got back to the dock Will was immediately in the water swimming. Here he's saying, "Just ONE more time, Mommy."
Up the ramp for one more jump!

The Seven Stewardson Cousins

Okay, so I'm starting off with the 4 oldest cousins. And they're in order from youngest to oldest!
Here's the rest of the gang. Will, Luke, Kirklyn, Thomas, Geyer, Gray and Gus. Of the 3 babies, Kirklyn is the oldest by a month,followed by Gus who is older than Geyer by about 2 1/2 hours! I think we got a couple of good pictures. As a matter of fact, no one is crying so they are actually GREAT pictures!
