Catching Up

Well........there's a lot of catching up to do. Mommy says between the rainy/cold weather, everyone getting a summer cold, Father's Day, daddy working A LOT of hours, that we just haven't had the time or motivation to post. That and mommy says I'm becoming a very busy little guy and that it might be time to make some changes to my blog soon.

We've had a busy couple of weeks with a few pictures to share. I had my first slumber party with my friend Henry. Then it was Father's Day weekend and mommy and I worked hard on a project for daddy. Summer school started so I have that once a week, mommy got real sick and had to go to the doctor, bad weather had me worried I might have to spend the night in the basement and now we're packing for our annual 4th of July trip to South Dakota. With all this running around mommy says I've been sleeping in later and later every day, which is fine with her, but I still have all my energy. So here's hoping you all have a good 4th and we'll see you when I get back!

My first slumber party with my friend Henry. He's a little smaller than me but we sure had fun together!

Mommy brought some of my old baby toys down for Henry, I think I had more fun playing with them than he did.

Both of us driving our cars around.

Mommy says clearly Henry was not pleased about having his picture taken while eating. I wasn't too pleased that daddy was spending all this time feeding him so I had to get in on the action.

Thanks for sleeping over Henry!!

Here I am at a play date with my playgroup pals. We went to a park where someone had a bubble machine that blew all these bubbles out!

Bubbles everywhere!

But when you get hungry and it's snack time, you just sit down and eat!!

Como Zoo

On Wednesday of this week mommy and I went with some other mommies and kids to Como Zoo. I had never been here before and mommy said she hadn't been in a very, very long time. I got a little overwhelmed because there were A LOT of people there. So many people in fact that the few times that mommy let me walk around didn't last long and I was the one willing to go back in my stroller. But we still got to walk around and see a lot of animals, have a good lunch and then head home. Mommy says she and daddy will be taking me back so I can ride on some of the toddler size rides at the amusement park area right by the zoo. Which I'm really excited for because I already noticed the train they have. I can't wait!!!!

Our first stop are the seals, you can see the head of one in the background.

Um....maybe time to go back in my stroller.

One little monkey.........or in this case, one little orangutan

Polar Bears!!! This was a new exhibit and where the most people were. This was the best view we got.

I think that kitty wants to have some of my snack.

Grame and me checking out another big kitty. It's laying in the den.

I loved the Zebra's and the zoo!!!

Family Reunion

This past Saturday was mommy's family reunion. She said it was important to go because the last reunion they had was back in 1992!! We just went for the day and even though it was raining and I couldn't play outside, it was sure nice to get out and meet some new family. I had fun playing and talking with everyone and I was sure tired. I didn't sleep on the way home though, Auntie Chelle and I were having too much fun in the back seat. But mommy said I didn't make any noise when I went to sleep and I ended up sleeping an extra hour the next morning. I can't for the next one!!

Mommy set up this little spot for me to play with all my cars and trucks.

Of course we brought my scooter which was really fun to ride inside.

The start of family pictures, mommy says this one is all the nieces and nephew's. ((I secretly wanted to be in all the pictures so I ran in and out of each one while they were being taken.))

Here I am again.....

Playing with papa, these doors to the kitchen were so much fun to play with!!

Memorial Weekend

Mommy, daddy and I spent Memorial Weekend at home just the three of us and it was perfect!! Mommy says we weren't going to go anywhere and we just spent time relaxing. On Saturday Grandma, Papa and Auntie Chelle came over for a BBQ, but I had a date that afternoon with my friend Zara. She lives across the street and she invited me over to try her pool for the first time. Although I wasn't about to get in the water ((mommy says we're having bathtub issues and I refuse to take a bath with any sort of toy)) I did have fun playing and visiting. On Sunday & Monday we just hung out and went for walks and mommy and daddy took me to two different parks to play that are close to my house. All in all it was a very relaxing weekend and we hope you had the same!!

Checking out Zara and her pool.

Um, I WILL NOT get in the water, but I sure had fun dumping water out.

Then daddy got this squirt gun which I thought was so fun to play with.

"Well, if daddy can put his feet in the water so can I, but no further."

Now it's onto my new favorite sport, baseball which I want to play all the time.

Hitting a park on Monday was sure fun!!

Daddy and me racing cars. I'm quite sure mine won.

Yea for being out in nice weather!!!!!!!!!!
