Snow and Tulips?

Hi everyone,

I'll let these pictures speak for themselves. Who ever thought it would snow during tulip time toward the end of April?

Until next time . . .

Do You Have Any Bigger Bags of Popcorn?

Hi everyone,


We had the downtown street fair this weekend to celebrate the end of the tulips. It's only about a half of a mile from our house so we went down all three days. We ate, snacked, looked, and listened to bands perform. We had our share of weather, too. It was sunny, windy, raining, hailing, and snowing! I don't know if there has ever been snow at the street fair. You can see from my picture that we came home with a few purchases. I couldn't wait for Daddy to open up the bag of popcorn so we could eat some. The bag was almost as tall as I am!


Until next time . . .

Whiffle Ball, Anyone?

Hi everyone,



It's a good thing that I have to type my message to post or else we'd be in trouble because my words are not very understable when I have a whiffle golf ball in my mouth. Daddy brought these home for me and soon after discovering them I popped one in my mouth and realized it fit perfect. Now I like to grab all three, pop one in my mouth, and walk around with the other two in each hand that way if one falls out I have a few spares. The only problem is that when I take them out of my mouth they are covered in drool. I guess I must drool a lot because my Sunday School nursery worker has told Mommy and Daddy that I could hydropower California's electricity with the amount of drool that comes out of my mouth. I can't help it if I get intent on something that I'm doing and forget to swallow or close my mouth.



Until next time . . .

Breakfast at the Table

Hi everyone,

I am so excited because Mommy has let me eat breakfast at my table a couple of times! I still eat dinner and lunch in my high chair but I feel like I'm starting to branch out and eat at the table like a big person. When I was finished eating I even surprised Mommy by getting down on my own and walking my plate to her in the kitchen. I was so proud to carry my own dishes in!

Until next time . . .

Smile for the Camera

Hi everyone,

I have finally discovered the camera. I used to always wonder why Mommy and Daddy pointed it at me and then there was a bright light, but now I know it takes my picture. Mommy took one of me and then showed it to me on the little screen. And as you can see from my photo, I now know to smile when they are taking a picture of me.

I also have a little table and chairs that are just for me. Of course, as you can see from the picture I prefer to sit on my toy basket because it is just the right height. The chairs are better for standing on! In fact, the first thing I did when Daddy brought up my table and chairs was to stand on it. I am kind of tired of hearing, "Sit on your bottom" when I try to climb on my chair. They should know it is more fun to use them that way. Either that or tipping it over on its side and crawling all around it. I guess Mommy and Daddy haven't read yet that there is no wrong way to play with a toy.

Until next time . . .

Lions and Tigers and Eggs, Oh My!

Hi everyone,

We wrapped up our vacation adventures by going to the zoo for the first time! I was surprised that the day we picked to go they were having Easter egg hunts. Of course, my age group was just for fun. I guess they agree with Mommy and Daddy that kids my age probably shouldn't have candy. Some of the animals got Easter baskets though and we got to see them discovering what was in it.

I spent the whole day at the zoo gliding around in my stroller staring at strange looking animals that I've only seen in books. Sorry I don't have any pictures of me with the animals, but I couldn't get as close to most of them as I wanted and the ones that were close were separated from me by thick glass. It was a fun day, but long. I didn't take a nap at all and I was really tired when we got home.

Until next time . . .

Vacation Adventures

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been so long but I have been a little bit busy. Daddy had last week off so we were trying to enjoy our time together by getting out and about. Fuel is a little more expensive than I get for my allowance (which is non-existent at this age) so we had to stick around the area for our "vacation". On one of the days we took the ferry over to a little island nearby and we biked around the island and had a snack at the general store. We would have eaten dinner there but Mommy and Daddy didn't do as much pre-planning as they thought. They parked the truck and unloaded the bikes barely making the afternoon ferry we were trying to catch. When we got over there they realized that they had left my diapers and wipes in the truck, and yes, of course before we even started I needed to be changed. Come on, I'm not potty trained yet. Do you know how expensive a little pack of diapers and wipes are when you aren't buying in bulk? So, most of our food money that Mommy brought went to buying those, some crackers, and a map of the island. Then Daddy realized that he had money in his wallet but he had left that in the truck too. We ended up having dinner on the mainland on our way back home. It was actually really fun, all except the part where Mommy and Daddy pinched my little chin in the clasp of my bike helmet. No wonder kids don't want to wear those things!

Stay tuned for more vacation adventures, until next time . . .
