Flummery and Foofaraw

Aunt Karen Last week or maybe two weeks ago now, sent an old photo of Edgar Gilbertson (who Kasen’s middle name is after), Karen thought Kasen looked a lot like his Great Grandpa and indeed she is right. I have combined Edgar’s photo next to a photo of Kasen so you can see it closely. I also attached the original photo of Edgar. I think we need to cut Kasen’s hair that way next time! Hope you enjoy.

So I haven’t really posted a lot of fun blog posts this summer, so I figured it was probably time for me to get one update in at least. I’ll give Foofaraw a break this time, but it also gives me the ability to post what I want

We have been quite busy all summer, hard to believe it’s almost over already, the Ringers started school today which I imagine Greta is quite excited about. It seems like we have been busy every weekend since summer started.

Next weekend we are going to Detroit Lakes for the 5k Marathon, if you want to see Foofaraw and I run, then you better get up there for the big event, should be a fun time, despite the running part.

Anyway, here are some fun photos and a couple videos for you to enjoy.

Kasen has started to fall asleep in more places, here is him on the couch.	No we aren’t talking to each other, as far as I can remember.	What you looking at?
Aunt Karen was here for a day, Kasen managed to get honey all over her at dinner.	Just thought this was a nice picture of Kaylee.	It’s like this everyday! Ok, not really but wouldn’t be surprising if it was.
Clearly not related at all.	Tube slide!	Fun at a cabin visiting Aunt Vickie and cousin Kai (Kai is 2 days younger than Kasen)
Hugs!	Sheep at the MN State Fair, Kasen liked the animals, except for the one he punched in the face, but it was just a baby so it’s ok, or not.	Baaaa. and you thought Kasen was blonde.
Kasen loved getting Gelato.	Gotcha nose	Carnival ride, he enjoyed the rides pretty well.
Mom and Kasen liked this one.	View of some of the people at the State Fair and the Gondola.	Kasen got to carrie a pail around collecting “farm” things like corn and stuff, was a good time.
Riding a tractor was one of the activities in the Kids Farm Area Thingy.	Katie and Foofaraw being themselves.	Kasen seeems to like John Deere quite a bit, need to get him on a farm.

Foofaraw isn’t as much of a video lover as I am, I had intended on posting like 6 videos but apparently Flickr only lets you upload 2 per month if you have the basic account. So here is what I picked.

So one of Kasen’s favorite things to do when jumping on the bed is knee slams, as Foof refers to them. This is basically jumping up and landing on his knees – and he’ll fly right at you (probably intentionally) if you’re lying on the bed supervising. So tonight he was playing even steven with slamming Dad then slamming Mom and then back to Dad and so on – and mostly we’d keep him from landing on us. However, at one point he successfully landed on Foof’s face. At this time, he was also chewing on his Pongo. He’s such a multi-tasker. But I digress….

So after Foof gets Kasen back on the bed next to her, she tells him he hurt her face and asks for a kiss. Kasen looks at her, takes Pongo out of his mouth, blows a lips only raspberry at her, and puts Pongo back in his mouth. (I specify lips only because I think that’s a bit better than sticking his tongue out.)

No kiss.

(However – later on he did kiss her leg as he was getting off the bed. So that was nice.)

Today Kasen needed a diaper change, shocking I know. Foofaraw noticed a spot of something on the changing table and
She asked: “Is that poop?”
I said: “It’s Fuzz”
She said: “I think it’s Poop”
I said: “It’s Fuzz”
She said: “Put it in your mouth”
I said, after picking it up: “It’s Poop”

So it’s official, Foofaraw knows her poop! And I need to brush up on my Fuzz.
