Finally recovering from Memorial Day Weekend!

I had a great Memorial Day Weekend, but man was I busy! My sleep schedule is still a little off because of it (or maybe it's because I just like to stay up until 9pm...Mom's not sure and I'm not telling!)

I'll explain the weekend most recent to latest because that is how I always manage to put these pictures up here!

Monday I went to brat fest...note that my favorite part was NOT the brat. Also note that I thought brat fest meant brat (braaat) fest so I acted that part out pretty well (until I had the ice cream and then I was fine).

Sunday I went to a sprinkler park in Middleton after Great Uncle Mickey's 75th birthday party. I got REALLY hot at the party so Mom and Dad said I needed to cool off. Can you tell I had fun?

There was this one thing at the park that dumped a bucket of water on a person's head. I thought I better have Dad hold me because that bucket was really cool, but I didn't want it on MY head.

Here I am braver at the beginning...I hadn't seen that cool bucket yet!

At Great Uncle Mickey's party, taking a break...

Greeting Liam at the party. Liam is only one day younger than me! We will have fun in a year or two.

At home on Mom and Dad's bed on Friday after a trip to the zoo and downtown. Mom forgot to bring her camera downtown, but there was a fountain there that I have to go back to. IT WAS AWESOME. I was squealing and running and squealing some more. I was even happy when I got back home.

I wasn't so happy riding the carousel at the zoo though. I was fine riding it when I was 9 months old, but I didn't understand now why Dad had to wait outside of the ring...and I didn't want to ride one of those animals.

On the bench...still not having fun!

Only minor crying now, I enjoyed about 20 seconds total of this ride.

Thanks for stopping!

Being big and new adventures!

These pictures are a little out of order, but it is nice outside now and I want to go play so I decided not to fix them.

Here I am with my "new" rocking horse. Mom loves garage sales! This one even makes horse noises. I can rock so hard that I almost tip it over.


I got to go in a hotel room for the first time...can you tell I had fun exploring?

I went swimming in a big pool for the first time too. It tuckered me out!

Splashing!...

These sandals have a funny thing between my toe. I couldn't get used to that!

Doing my chores. I LOVE to sweep!

Helping Dad mow the lawn.

Trying to be just like Dad (with his vest on).

Can I go outside?

I've done my chores...

Can I go outside now??

Thank you! I love my new sandbox!!

war paint-aka what happens when I want to see if I can color my face too!

Grandma teaching me what not to do when I am around babies!

Easter Pics and More!

Here are some pics from the past couple of weeks. I have been very busy!

Here I am helping Dad make a fire. I loved handing him pieces of wood one by one.

I got my first black eye (my right eye). It hasn't kept me down at all!

I got a new bouncing turtle. It is super fun!!

Here I am before picture day at school. Unfortunately the picture takers at school were doing weird things so I just have a dumbfounded look on my face in those pictures...not a smile like I gave Mom before I left for school.

Searching for my Easter basket at Grandma and Grandpa's...

Reading the paper with Uncle Jay...

Concentrating very hard on coloring Easter Eggs...

Talking on the phone in Grandpa's classroom...

Very curious about the big Middle School...

Sitting in Grandpa's chair "correcting papers"...

Easter egg hunt at home...

My first professional haircut. I wouldn't sit by myself so I had to sit on Mom's lap. I was very good once I was able to do that!

Catch Up!

This post is going to be some random pictures because I got behind! I was sick for almost a week, but have been better now for over a week and REALLY enjoying outside! I now cry when I have to come inside for supper, and as soon as we are done I have to go back out. I am definitely my Dad's boy!! Here are some pictures from the past week...

Here I am pulling the wagon that Mom and Uncle Jay used to play with. I liked to get as close to the road as I could before Grandma would tell me to turn around. It wasn't because I wanted to go in the road...I just didn't like to go downhill because the wagon would hit my ankle then!


Grandma let me put up window clings for Easter. I couldn't quite decide where they looked best so I had to change them A LOT!

Grandma got up to get a cup of tea, and I took her spot...and her pie!

Jacob and Grandma and Grandpa came to see me. I stole Jacob's bed...

but I made it up to him later with "nice pats."

Daddy, Mommy and I went to the zoo. I really liked looking at all of the animals (and walking in the opposite direction that Mom and Dad wanted me to go).

I like bridges a lot. They are fun to stomp across and look through and wave at all the fishies. I'm sure in a few years I will wonder why Mom and Dad have me wave at fishies in the water, but for now I really enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping!

Snowball Fight!

It was such a nice weekend that I spent a lot of time outside. Now that Winter is almost over, I am starting to really like the snow. Grandma, Grandpa and I had a snowball fight. It was great fun. I got Dad with a good one when he came home from work (see the video)! Who knew this snow stuff could be so much fun?

New things!

Today I decided that I wanted one of Mom's old Cabbage Patch Kids. I thought I was ready for a new brother or sister...I gave it hugs and nice pats and kisses...and Mom thought maybe I was ready too...

until I started carrying him around by one arm and then flung him on the floor like this. Mom said I may need to wait a little longer!

I got to try a donut on Friday! It was YUMMY!!
