Memorial Day weekend trip to Ava

Serious work, 3D glasses are a MUST!

I must not have tasted very good to this frog ;-)  At the Eldon Aquatic Center,  VIP treatment since BB has exclusive access...

And the race is on!

At the stables prior to Dixieland Stampede, it was a great show, I cheered the whole time!!

John: Dad, can I touch it?!?!?
Dad: John, the rope is there so people do not touch it, so we'd better not.
John, if I smile while touching it, does it make it ok?

Clinkingbeard family dinner at Grandma Flo and Dad Dad's house.

4 generations hanging out at Toni's house.

John found a birthday candle, and there was some cake left, so it was Grandma Flo's birthday ;-))

Swing batter batter!

Its going, going,  GONE!!  Way over to Grandma Flo's car!



Kyle and I showing our muscles, with any luck, in a couple years I think I will be as big as him!!



Fun Times with family

Mother's Day weekend @ the Como Park Zoo

Mom and Dad brought me to the Como Zoo today, which was a blast.  I saw all of the animals that Diego gets to save ;-))  I really liked the polar bear and gorillas!  Oh yeah, almost forgot, they had a bunch of different rides for me to go on.  I enjoyed them all!  Even if I am not sure that Dad enjoyed the swing ride with me, at least he did not get ill :-)

Happy Mother's Day to Momma, Grandma Beth, BB, Grandma Flo, and Pat Pat!

Random pictures January - March 2012

Here I am with my good friend Kaia, at the Oxbow Zoo. We had a lot of fun looking at all of the animals and riding in the wagon. I'm so happy to have such a good friend!

Here I am at Elmo Live in Minneapolis, with Dad and Granddad. It was great, and I got to bring home a HUGE Elmo balloon for my room. BB and Mom were also there and made the event a fun afternoon.

Testing out my new scooter from Grandma Flo and Dad Dad. I clip along at a very fast 4 MPH, wind rushing through my hair (or helmet as it is, safety first you know)!

New Year's Eve, with Daddy, Mommy and Tessa at the hotel, watching some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to ring in the new year. It was midnight somewhere when we went to sleep ;-)

My first night in my big boy bed...............aaah the freedom!

Here are some pictures that dad should have loaded before, but did not! I'm not sure what he does with his time, he says he goes to work Monday through Friday, but he should still have time over his lunch to update pictures ;-))

Enjoy!

Easter 2012 - the After party

This is how a roll after a big day of partying with my family, a nice bath with Cookie Monster and my farm animal friends ;-)

Easter 2012

I was so Happy to have all of my grandparents and cousins at my house for Easter. The Easter Egg hunt was very exciting, Tessa, Thomas, and I all got a lot of eggs!! We had a great lunch, and after lunch we had a bubble party on the back deck for about 45 minutes, thank you grandma and grandpa for these toys. I can't wait to see everyone again!

Merry Merry Christmas

I have become a pro at flying!

It is fun to see all the people and watch a Mickey Clubhouse show on the plane.

I was so excited to see BB when we landed in St. Louis. I told her Merry Christmas:)

Grandad has been saving his change since I was born.

He filled up his bucket so we took it to the bank to cash in our savings.

Even my dad was impressed!

Check out my Mickey Mouse scooter from Grandma Flo and Dad Dad!

It is pretty cool. I am getting the hang of driving it around the neighborhood.


Here I am with Cousin Jackie on Chrismas Eve.
She got me this cool John Deere camera. I tell everyone "snickerdoole salad"
when it is time to take a picture!

Here I am Christmas morning opening my big present.
I slept in until amost 7 and then woke everyone up.
I tried to wait as long as I could, but I just had to open this one!
What a fun workbench:)


Here we are after church.
Grandad and I have coordinating sweaters!
I was pretty good at church so Aunt Betty took me up to the Choir loft.
Renee let me play a tune or two on the organ. It was pretty fun!


We waited until Uncle Adam and Aunt Lisa arrived to open stockings.
Here I am with Momma and Daddy.

We went to Uncle Adam's favorite Vista Grande for lunch.

I am getting pretty good at the chips and salsa.

Momma said I can leave the deep fried hot dog to Uncle Adam.

Here I am making a few things on my new workbench!
