Visiting Santa

I had a lot of fun visiting Santa, he was nice enough to come to the mall so we could meet face to face. I showed no fear (as usual), ran right up and sat on his lap. when he asked what I wanted for Christmas, I told him "5 choices"!! He also stamped my arm with a note that said I was on the Nice list!!! Merry Christmas!!

Fun in the kitchen

Dad and I sampling some mashed potatoes, thank goodness he was here to show me how to lick the beater ;-))

1st snow of the year + Christmas setup

We received our first significant snow fall of the year, and mom and I had some fun sledding down the hill in the back yard! I also had fun making my first gingerbread house, and decorating our first "live" christmas tree, it sure makes the house smell great (better than Toby anyway ;-))

Raking the leaves

I helpd Dad rake the leaves this fall, had even more fun playing in them!!

Thanksgiving 2011

We celebrated Thanksgiving in two locations this year. Natalie made a wonderful dinner for Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Tina, Uncle Charlie, and Thomas. we had a great time playing and eating! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house on Saturday to celebrate with uncle Eric, Aunt Jess and Tessa, and to see the new addition on Grandma and Grandpa's house, it looks great and we have lots of room to play now!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Here I am with Mom and Dad after getting some fun treats!

Mom thinks I am the "cutest lion ever"!

Ms. Currie and Ms. Hansen had fun getting us ready.

Bergen was an astronaut.

Here I am with Kaia getting our Trick or Treat bags ready for our Primrose walk.

Kaia is Minnie Mouse:)



Happy Halloween everyone. We had a nice Halloween walk at Primrose today, and received lots of neat tricks and treats! Mom and Dad gave me some cool Halloween Matchbox cars, and I had a great time handing out candy. Dad dressed up as a basketball player for the Charlotte Hornets (I know they don't exist, I think he made it up!) and mom dressed up like Wonder Woman! It was a very fun day!

MIZZOU Homecoming weekend

I had a great time at MIZZOU homecoming this year. I called dad and told him I was at a "baseball game", looks like Dad's long hours of training are paying off ;-)) I really enjoyed the tailgaiting and hanging out with everyone!! Missouri won, that was icing on the cake!

Trip to the fire station

We got to practice coming down the pole!

Here I am with Elise and Howie talking about our ice cream cone!

Since we were all good during the tour of the Firehouse,

we got to celebrate with some ice cream cones!

Fireman Richardson was really nice to us:)

Here we are checking out the truck!







I had a great weekend with mom and dad. They took me, and my friends Kaia, Elise, and Howie to the fire station!!! I got to see lots of fire trucks, touch the hoses, play inside the trucks, and meet Sparky the fire dog! What a great day ;-))

Happy 2nd Birthday

Here I am with Dad up by the Plummer house

having a picnic! I just love picnics:)

BB came up to help watch my while Primose

was closed. We had a great time,

and I got some pool time in too!

Here I am hanging with Tessa at my party!

BB and Grandad got me a cool table for my b-day!

I appears it can also function as a bench.

Well I took a tumble in the living room a few days before my birthday.

Here I am with my green cast with Mickey Mouse stickers.

I did my best not to let it slow me down.

BB let me open a few presents early!

Take me out to the ballgame

I attended my first Twins game (well, the 6th through the 9th innings anyway ;-)), it as a lot of fun. I really liked the chicken fingers and singing take me out to the ballgame. It was also fun dancing in the aisles in between innings, and I'm looking forward to my next game!!

pictures from Grandma Flo's 80th birthday party weekend

Here we are watching some fireworks after

checking all the cows in the field.

Kirk, Gina and Kyle's house is the closest

thing to a zoo in Ava. I liked seeing all the animals.

Dad Dad taught me about a rain gauge.

I am pretty good at dumping out the water.

I had a few chores on the farm like helping

feed and pet Grandma Flo's cat Rascal!

She is fun!

I had fun doing sidewalk chalk

and driving up to the "big red barn"!

We had a cookout on the farm.

It was hot, but I had a ton of fun!

Did you know Uncle Kirk drives lots of big machines?

He let me drive his tractor, gator and truck!

Now back at home Uncle Kirk drives my Lego tractor!

Here we are at Rockbridge fishing lodge for dinner.

I had a good dinner and threw a lot of rocks:)
I even got to touch a trout fish!

We went to cousin Bonnie's house to see the animals.

I really liked riding the horse!

Look at this cute pony!

I am a big fan of ice cream cones!

I had one after lunch with Granddad and Daddy.

Pictures from Memorial Day Weekend

After all the company, a guy needs a nap!!

Animal Puzzle fun with Grandad. ALL DONE!!

Riding my new tricycle that mom and dad picked out for me. Mom, Grandad and BB are helping me out with the pedals. I tried it a few weeks ago, but I just was not tall enough. Now that I am a big boy, look out!

For some reason Dad volunteered to take this picture, at least two of us are hard at work ;-)

Drawing houses, buses, and helicopters with Grandma and Grandpa.

Here we are planting our flowers with help from Grandma. I loved getting my fingers dirty in the wet soil. I do like tractors, maybe I will be a farmer.
