Happy Birthday Stephen

Stephen's birthday was Saturday.  We celebrated as a family by going to breakfast, then came to the house just to hang around and have some fun.  Levi is definitely Daddy's boy.  Stephen gets right down on Levi's level to play with him.   Like father, like son.



Grandma enjoys playing with Levi too.  We acquired blocks from them, so I was eager to help Levi build a tall tower that he could then knock down.  It's a favorite thing for preschoolers to do when I substitute teach in the county school system.  It teaches teamwork, and cooperative play.


I was hoping we'd have a "big crash".


Next, Grandma tried her hand at making a nice train track.  Stephen had built one a couple weeks ago.  It's a lot harder than it looks!
 The blue Thomas Tank Engine is battery operated and chugs along the track quite nicely.


Time out for a brief family photo.


Daddy has to show us how building tracks is really done. He enlisted Levi's help.



  Our adventures weren't done.  Stephen reminded me that his cars and trucks from his childhood were still in the shed and perhaps Levi would enjoy playing with those.  He was right!


Levi spent the night with us.  It has been a while since we've had our "Levi" time.  But, it was back to playing once again on Sunday.
Grandpa and Levi played with the motorcycle for at least 20 minutes Saturday night.  Levi wanted to do the same thing with Daddy.  It is amazing how well he does.


And, the family tradition continues.  Can you hear the NASCAR Race taking place on the TV in the background?  Let me tell you, Levi had his eye on that race just as much as the big boys, especially when the action was happening. 
What a wonderful weekend it was. :)
