Grammy and Grampy!

Some of you may not know that

I have four sets of grandparents...

Grammy and Grampy Slotemaker

live the furthest away, all the way

in Arizona!

I havent seen them for over a year,

and they came for a visit today!!

I loved showing them all of my toys,

and showing off (just a little...)
And giving lots of snuggles to make
up for lost time!

And what visit would be complete with

any grandparents without a new toy?? :)

They brought me a new thomas the train

with its own controller,

I LOVE IT!

I even shared with them my all time FAVORITE book,

the King County 911 coloring book! :)

I love you Grammy and Grampy!

Beating the heat...

I'm sure everyone can understand

when I say I have been HOT

the past few days!!

Lucky for me, Weston stayed in town!!

We got to go out swimming at the lake, AGAIN!!

Here we are with Papa, we hardly got out of the water at all!

Today was a perfect day to splash each other,

and neither one of us even minded (too much...)

I have had so much fun with you Weston,

and I will be so sad when you leave tomorrow!

Busy Bee!

The best days of Summer!

My best friend Weston is finally here!

We have had SUCH a great time together...
We have been at the beach,
at the lake,
getting along SO well
much to everyones surprise!!


All I want to do is
"Go Grandma's house, see Weston!"
everyday since he has been here!

We have shared toys so well together
and have had so much fun exploring
and doing lots of boy things!

We have had our fair share
of yummy snacks...

things have been pretty go, go, go around here!

But I have loved every minute of it!

My mommy and her sisters are rarely

ever all together,

so I wanted to sneak on a picture

of them with Papa!

Waterslides!!!

Grandma and Mommy took me to

the waterslides yesterday!!!

I was pretty excited,

but a little overwhelmed at first...

I stayed pretty close to grandma,

just at first, but I liked it!!
Then, I was off! I even let them
take me on the river ride in a big tube!
(Which I couldnt decide if I loved or hated it!)


I LOVED playing in the big pool
and being a little fishy.

I played so hard that it was time

to stop and eat some lunch,

and I ate it ALL!

I had such a wonderful day,

thanks mommy and grandma!

Chugga, Chugga!

We had such a great day,

that this is a double post...

See below for all of the details

of my favorite day!!

Choo, Choo!

Today has been one of the best

(if not THE BEST)

days EVER...

Papa and Grandma Joyce took mommy and I

on the Amtrak to Bellingham!
Here I am getting some energy out
at the station before we boarded the train...

Papa and I sat together and talked
and shared my favorite snack!

I even got a seat facing the window,

and loved to look out and see

everything, especially the water.

I kept saying "I love it!" and

"I'm having so much fun!"

Here are mommy and I at

Boulevard Park right on the water

before heading to the railroad museum.

I LOVED this place!

I would recommend it to anyone who loves trains!

It was only $2.00 and there were SO many

hands-on things for me to do!

I got to press buttons that made things

happen and light up on the track,

I was pretty amazed!

But, of course my favorite toy was the Thomas

that you could run around behind,

I must have ran a mile!

Thank you SO MUCH Papa and Grandma,

in case you couldn't tell,

I had the best day ever with you!

4th of July fun

As usual, I had a very busy weekend,

here are a few of the highlights from my

4th of July celebration!!

Here I am with some loot I scored

at the 4th of July parade!!
And relaxing with Grandma Cindy
ready to watch the fireworks!
I dont even work yet and I already
LOVE long holiday weekends!

Being a big boy...

I think I am all done being a "baby"...

I sleep so well, I gave up my bottle a month ago,

and I am trying to tackle the art

of potty training...

I have done my business a few times

on the toilet now, but never for mommy...
So this morning, it was off with my diaper,
mommy got me some books and a graham cracker,
and it was time to sit and wait...

and wait.... and wait....
THEN, I went potty in the toilet!
Mommy was SO proud of me.
As I write this, mommy is still waiting for me
to go #2... I dont know who is having
more anxiety about it...
This definitely is not easy!

But, as I discovered last night,

there are some serious perks to being a big boy...

Like attending Summer dinner parties!

Thanks for being such a good host Riley,

I had so much fun with you!
