New Toys

Robbie got some few fun toys this week! He loves playing with them (and chewing on them).

There's the Little People Car Garage.

And of course a little drum. (He's daddy's little boy!)
After taking a few pictures, Robbie thought the camera would be a fun toy, too!
A little monkey that Grandma C. made him for Christmas.

International Auto Show

On Saturday, we went to the International Auto Show in Sandy. It was fun to see all of the new cars coming out for 2008. We even got to see some exotic ones.

Porsche Carrera 4 S
Porsche Wheels
VW Beetle Convertible (the perfect colors)

Robbie has officially grown out of his little sink bath. He doesn't like the big bath tub, so our friends let us borrow this floatie to see if it calmed him down. He loved it!
Robbie loves Mommy!

Games

On Sunday, we had Shannon over for dinner and games. We played Uno Attack, and Robbie thought it was so funny when the card holder shot cards out at someone. He would really get the giggles!

He's laughing a Shannon getting cards.

He's sitting up so well these days!

He loves his shoelaces. In fact, we have to tie them in double knots so he can't get them undone!
P.S. GO CHARGERS!

Christmas Vacation

We had a great Christmas break for the past three weeks! We spent time with the Wheeler side for the first week and then flew to Tennessee to spend time with the Cleghorn side. We loved seeing those we could. Hopefully we will be able to see both of our oldest brothers and their families soon. Here's some pictures of our adventures.

At the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga.

This tank had a place where you could crawl under and have the tank surround you. Robbie and I are on the inside and Brian is taking the picture outside. Robbie loved seeing all of the interesting fish.
At the Museum of Appalachia.

This is their school house.
This is Mark Twain's childhood home.
At the Andrew Johnson museum.

There are actually three different sites we went to in Greeneville with Andrew Johnson memorabilia. He was Abraham Lincoln's Vice President and therefore took office after Lincoln was killed. He was also the first president to be impeached.
Johnson was a tailor before he got into politics. This is a wedding coat he made.
This is Johnson's tailor shop.
This is what an early home of the era would have looked like.
This is the site where Johnson was buried. It looked like his wife, children, and a few grandchildren were also buried by him.
This is Johnson's Presidential Library and Museum at Tusculum College.
Johnson's personal desk and library.
An American flag of the era.
