Happy Day!

Here I am looking very excited...

my favorite show is about to begin,

and mommy caught me right in the moment...

It's time to "make way for Noddy!"

Mommy couldnt take me away from

this little slice of heaven if she tried,

(at least during the theme song)

I don't think life could get much better

then it is right now!

Portland!!!

Grandma, mommy and I went down to Portland

for a few days to visit my cousin West,

and my Uncle and Auntie!
We had a wonderful time,

the first thing on our clipboard of fun...

THE PORTLAND ZOO!!

Here Grandma and I check out our first "animal"...

As you can see, I am not to sure about it!

Then, a mountain goat

even talked to me!

Is this place cool or what?

Here are Grandma and I

looking at some fishes!

I just liked to pound on the glass and

make sure they were awake!

Mommy and I had a

lovely time together!

Back at my cousin's house,

there was never a shortage of things to do...

My favorite thing to do... SWIM!

Once I got in, I could not find

any reason to get out,

But, Mommy finally made me
when she saw goosebumps and

noticed me shaking!!

Best friends forever,

I love you West, Uncle and Auntie!

Berry Dairy Days Parade!

Last Saturday, my Grandma Cindy

and Grandpa Asher took me to the

Berry Dairy Days Parade!

I started out very calmly,

watching the tractors with great interest...

Then, it was time to get up and see

what this was all about!

Grandma told mommy I danced

to the band and LOVED

the cheerleaders... am I all boy or what?

All that excitement made me hungry,

so here I am having a yummy snack!

Thanks for taking me,
I cant wait for next year!

SHOTS!

Today I encountered something quite awful...

my fifteen month vaccinations!

I knew as soon as we got into the office

that something was terribly wrong.

I had to get five separate shots,

Mommy had to leave the room

and Grandma stayed with me,

I don't know who was more upset

about this, me or mommy!

Here is another picture of the damage...

But, there was a light at the end of the tunnel,

the Grandma came through, as always,

and bought me a new playground

for her house! I love you Grandma!

Mommy and Grandma walked me to the park,

where I insisted on staying on the

"big kids" toy, and scaring

all the new friends I had made

by doing my loud yell and imitating

the Incredible Hulk!

Then, it was time to go home,

I decided to calm myself down

for bed by reading

all about a puppy!

It was a very traumatic day for both of us...

but, the day is about done,

and there's always tomorrow

for more kinds of fun!

Entertaining Myself...

Mommy was out of the room for a few moments

today, and came back to find that I had taken off

the lid to my activity table,

and was having a blast throwing out all

the toys stored underneath.

THEN... I decided the table made a much

better chair, as I am modeling below.

Then I figured I might as well take

some time and play

with all the toys I just dumped out..

Time to survey the damage I have done,

I am quite gifted at destruction!

Finally, I took a break
just to strike a pose for mommy!

I'm learning to "Vogue" quite early!

Couldnt stop with just one!

In case you hadnt had enough...

I had SO much fun,

I just had to post a few more of my

Adventures with the Awesome Aunties...

Thanks again, you guys mean more to me

then I could ever tell you! (and Rosie and Bean!)

The Great Aunties Adventure!

I spent the latter part of Saturday

at Bay View State Park

where my wonderful Aunties Nancy and Loretta

and their fun friends Chris and Sheila

were all camping!

Now come on...

three dogs about the perfect size,

and four women to dote on me...

what more could I have asked for???

Now let me start by saying

that camping with these ladies

is anything but roughing it...

How comfortable do I look?

(They even let me drive it and honk the horn!)

Here I am running with my

GREAT (fabulous, fantastic) Aunt Nancy

we had SO much fun together,

they tuckered me right out!

I loved snuggling with both of you!

Hope to see you both again soon, I love you!

A lovely way to spend my Saturday

We headed over to Saturday morning brunch

at Grandma and Gramps' house

to say goodbye to my Auntie Emily,

who I have become VERY close to

during her trip to visit us!

Thanks for taking me to the park

and giving me lots of loves,

I will miss you!

The Grandma and I are just

two peas in a pod...

I dont know who gets more

satisfaction about spending time together

AND... Grandpa stopped by so we got to play

together outside too!!! What a day!

Grammy and Grampy...

As many of you may know,

my Grammy and Grampy

moved to Arizona a couple weeks ago.

I sure miss them,

but this morning they sent me some pictures

of me at their house when they

were getting all packed!

And here is a special one from me to them...

I love you and miss you both!

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

I think my face says it all...

I am soooo ready for Summer!
