Fun Week!

This past week was a great week! On Thursday we had crazy hair day at school, and since I need a haircut, it was in perfect condition for pulling off crazy hair day. Daddy made my hair all crazy, and I was pretty proud of it (once I got to school and was more awake)...

I also got my own set of markers to try this week. They are wonderful!

This weekend has been a party weekend! Saturday I went to the farmers market and zoo with Mommy, Amanda and Uncle, and then I got to go to supper and play with Grandma and Grandpa H. Then we had a "party" for Daddy and Amanda's birthdays complete with cake and presents of course!

Here I am with my cookie from Amanda...

Enjoying it...

So happy to have a cookie!!

Today I get to have ANOTHER party with my Grandma R because it is her birthday too. I LOVE August, and I LOVE parties!!

The Wiggles!!

Today I got to go to the Wiggles Concert in Wisconsin Dells! What a fun day!

Here I am ready to go...

Sitting with Daddy before the show...(I really liked the seats a lot. They flipped up and down, which kept me thoroughly entertained while we were waiting for the show to begin)

Sitting with Mommy...

The big red car!

All the Wiggles (although with Brad instead of Jeff since Jeff had to have heart surgery and couldn't do the tour in the US). ..

Mommy's camera didn't work great for pictures during the concert, but you get an idea. Here is a video (unfortunately it is sideways) of me doing the actions to one of the songs...

Holiday Weekend-the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Happy 4th of July weekend!

One of my most favorite things...the bouncy house!!



"fishing"

Posing with the koala bear (one of the animals around the Monroe square)...

Uncle holding me up to the tall giraffe!

Hmmm, what happens if I put my fingers here?

OUCH!

Wrestling with Uncle before the fireworks...

Trying Daddy's sno-cone...my first taste. I think I'm hooked!

Getting a little nervous about the fireworks (before the meltdown began)...

Well, I had an overall great 4th of July weekend! Almost all of it was good; there was only one part that was bad and ugly...the fireworks! I had never been to fireworks before, and I didn't realize that they happen when it is dark outside. Mommy and Daddy didn't really think about the fact that I don't spend much (any) time outside after it is dark, and I was VERY scared. I freaked out and had to go to Grandma and Grandpa's car to listen to the Wiggles and calm down (thank you for parking in the park G&G)! Towards the end I was calming down, but the first half was not a fun time for me or Daddy (who I was clinging to and not letting go). The rest of my weekend was AWESOME! I had so much fun going to the park, looking at animals on the Monroe square and more.

Trees and Amanda and Uncle's Party!

This post is full of pictures! Mommy forgot to put up some pictures of when Daddy and Grandpa cut down some trees in the yard so here those are first...

I gave a thumbs up at the door after they got a branch down without hitting anything. Luckily, I got to give this sign every time. They didn't hit any cars, houses or people! :)


Helping cut down the tree with my "saw"...

The chain saws got a little loud so I needed to wear ear protection too...

Now, on to Amanda and Uncle's party (should call her Aunt and Uncle now, but it will be hard for me to change so for now she's still Amana).

Making some phone calls from the hotel to set up my social life for the party...

Uncle and Amanda!

Unfortunately, I wasn't a very good boy staying inside the party so these are the only pictures Mommy got of Uncle and Amanda, and she didn't get any of me standing with them :( I had to be outside most of the time with Daddy or Grandma and Grandpa...

On Amanda's Dad's boat!

I got to drive the boat too!

Conked out after a long night of partying...

The next day...Captain Joey decided to go to the park in style...

Playing at a BIG park...It was awesome!

Looking for Daddy to come down the "dark" slide...

I had a great weekend! I hope everyone else did too!

Noah's Ark!!

Today I went to Noah's Ark for the first time with Mommy and Aunt Amanda. As I told everyone, Uncle and Daddy were working (which they were). We had a blast!! I got to see a big bucket, which you may remember from my birthday trip to The Wilderness Waterpark. I went down slides by myself and wasn't quite as afraid of the water as I was last time. I WAS NOT a fan of the wave pool though. Those waves are strong!




Checking out where to go next...I had to stop at every map!

The turtle slide!

Lounging on the Adventure River with Mommy...although I did more squirming than lounging!

A little bigger slide...

And an even bigger one, with Amanda!!

The ride home...I was one tuckered out 2 1/2 year old.

The famous bucket and me going down the slide. Thanks for coming with me Aunt Amanda, and thanks for taking the pictures and video!

Bubbles!

I have enjoyed the nice weather this weekend (I am saying this before the storm that is supposed to come tonight). I got to blow bubbles and go to the park, and I went to the zoo with Daddy on Friday.

Oh, I got my haircut too, so here's a picture of my summer hair!


Blowing bubbles...

And a video so you can see how hard I blow :o)

Happy Easter!

I had a great Easter weekend! I went to the Easter egg hunt at Daddy's store and found a lot of chocolate eggs and won a prize!

Then I got to do an Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I like to squeeze the eggs to see if there is candy inside...it works pretty well unless the egg is a hard-boiled one!

It was such a nice day that I got to play outside. I carried Daddy since he was getting tired...

I was playing with an empty wrapping paper tube, and Daddy told me to make animal noises in it. It worked really well until I chose the butterfly. Mommy missed taping the first time so we tried to re-enact it...

Here I am singing along to We are the Dinosaurs...If you pay attention to the words, you can see that I am acting out parts of it too!
