Fiances and Vacuums

This weekend was fun - Tanya and Cousin Brynn were back from a month-long visit to her parents in Wisconsin, and "the fiances" also came in from Biola (California) to show off the ring.



I have to explain something now in order to understand the rest of the pictures. Aaron has been quite obsessed with vacuums - my only explanation for this is possibly the fact that he's around them a lot due to the fact that I clean a few houses a week to earn extra money? Anyway, I had this novel idea on Saturday to give him one of the attachments from my vacuum that has its own little roller - it's like a mini-vacuum without the noise. He LOVED it....



The only problem was that he didn't want to let it out of his hands, much less, his sight. So it had to come everywhere with us....


Grandma Debbe got out her bubbles after Saturday night burgers - Brynn and Aaron had lots of fun with that.
Notice the vacuum still being clutched in Aaron's hand. In the excitement of the bubble rampage, Brynn's headband fell out and we all had a good laugh at her hair.
Brynn wanted to try Aaron's vacuum....
That didn't go over so well...
Anyway, it was fun to have everyone around! By the way, we did put our foot down and didn't let the vacuum go in Aaron's crib with him when it came to bedtime. =)

Brynn's hair! I never would've thought that her hair would be able to hold a style with it being so fine and thin :) But I am glad all of you got a kick out of it becuase if I were there I would be fixing it right away :)

Isn't it so funny what they become obsessed with? Eli was obsessed with these animal figurines for a long time (still kind of is) and the would go everywhere with us. We took them to a party once and he totally freaked out because other kids were playing with them. I gave him the choice to share them or put them away in the car, and he chose to put them away in the car so nobody else could play! Have you ever heard "Prayer of the Selfish Child?" It reminded me of that! HA! Talk about being born with a sinful nature :) Hee Hee.

That is the best post ever. I really appreciate the picture of the vacuum in the car with him. Ahh what a funny boy. Mom stop cleaning! Maybe if you get Aaron with his vacuum and Grace with her cleaning wipes you could get them to clean houses for extra money.

that's some good training there. he's gonna be a ladies man for sure, what woman isn't drawn to a man carrying a vacuum attachment? really. =)

That's a really sweet picture of Kyle and Sarah. And that vacuum loving baby. Hmm... maybe if I vacuumed more often, Noah wouldn't be so afraid of it.
