May

Last Sunday was our last visit with Papa before he went back to work on the boat. We had a lot of fun playing together and I will miss him. When he comes home I heard it will be crabbing season and I have been talking about "eating big crabs!" We had several other fun events this week, which include the Jump Zone! Sissy helped me get up the big ladder and I went down the gigantic slide! She sure looked after me. We played outside when we were able in our sand and water tables but some bad news....our neighbors behind us got bees. Mama thought they may get a hive or two but they have at least 20 and there are bees everywhere! No stings yet to report though. I also had to go get shots this week, oh well, I got to have a treat afterward. This weekend we had fun with friends at the parade and went to the festival down in Fairhaven. The weather cooperated with all the events the past week, which is pretty much a miracle considering the rain this spring.

Papa thinks he is a kid sometimes too ;)

Playing with Papa I picked out a cakepop at Starbucks for my treat after getting shotsPretty good, I held it for a very long time before eating it though Icecream at the festival in Fairhaven for Ski to Sea

I sure can't keep up with the melting abilities of icecream

Sunny Days

Last week we had several sunny days and boy do I LOVE to be outside! I wake up between 6 and 6:30 every day and most of the time I am at the back door ready to go outside by 7 or so. I even put my boots on myself and tell my mom I'm ready! We now have a little sand table (I think my mom was trying to tell me something....get out of the dirt and her flowers??) We also got out the water table this week, which I enjoyed. The only bad thing now is that our neighbors decided to get bees...honeybees! I do not like them! Oh well, no stings yet. Here are a few pictures of our trip to see the kids parade on Friday. I enjoyed it!

Riding in the car with my baseball hat on

Playing with sissy...she sure is funny (Pretty much anything she says is funny to me)
I'm sure love her!

Dad, you are never going to get my attention with this parade going on!

What is next?
I had fun on the horse at grandma and papa's house today

Maggie's Birthday Weekend

My cousin turned 3 this weekend, so we got to spend time with Grandma, Papa and Aunt Becky who came over from Spokane to celebrate. They got here on Thursday, so it was a nice long weekend with them. I got to go fishing with Papa and Uncle Kev on Friday, unfortunately Dada had to work. Saturday was the big party and it was a ton of fun, which explains why I exclaimed "this is fun party" a few dozen times.

The battle to be King of the Urban Jungle

Here Fishy, Fishy.... what, it worked with the cat
Uncle Kev knows just how to catch the big ones
Takin a break from fishing for some "CHEESE"

Sissy and I seeing who can land dinner... we had burgers

Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this in 13 years?

The kids' table.... I'm sure I'll be here until the previous picture becomes embarassing

Not sure I trust Aunt Becky's driving at the Walk for Life... and Lily was hogging the airbag

The Birthday Girl!

This is fun party

Ok sis, I'm going for it... what color cupcake do you want?

Is Dada eyeballing my cupcake?

Having a screaming good time in the pool

TRAIN!!!!

For Mother's Day we went with my Auntie, her boyfriend, Grandma, and Papa to a baseball game in Seattle! We took the train with Grandma and Papa...... I was in heaven! A few of the smiles were captured on the pictures but I really didn't stop smiling for most of the day. It was a long day with no nap, but I hung in there remarkably well and still thoroughly enjoyed the train ride back. The Mariners ended up losing the game and my dada saved us from a foul ball. I guess you would say his thumb saved us, but we were on TV! My Aunt Debbie called to tell us that she saw us, that is pretty neat! We had a busy yet fun weekend and the excitement doesn't stop. My Grandma and Papa are coming over from Spokane this weekend to celebrate my cousin Maggie's 3rd birthday! I can't believe it!

So excited!

At the end of the ride back to Everett, I said, "Happy Mother's Day Mama!" and I think I melted the hearts of everyone on the train
Pure excitement!

Having fun with sissy

This was the funniest thing....cotton candy! Can you believe that stuff?

I laughed so hard!! Good thing I had a diaper on

Tickled my tongue
Extra Innings?!?!

Spring Week in Spokane

Technically it is Spring but I did see snow on several occasions in Spokane last week, crazy weather. We left on Easter morning (Mommy and Daddy went to Easter Vigil) and enjoyed a week in Spokane with our family. We got to see my dad's cousin before he leaves for Afghanistan and also my dad ran Bloomsday. During our visit we had some fun outings and as always, it was great to see everyone!

The Easter Bunny stopped by our house before we left!

Excited about the chocolate cross
I went to a special kid place in Spokane to get my haircut. Loved the toys but think I will stick with my personal barber at home!

Downtown Spokane has a really fun museum called Mobius. My sissy and I sure had fun there, and could have stayed all day!

Riding the "car" along the "street"

This was fun too, I think I'm going to like science when I get old enough for school.

The big slide at Riverfront Park. As you can see by looking at mama, this is a very big one! I did it all by myself!!!

Waiting for the carousel.

Riding with Papa. I also got to ride once all by myself and choose a goat to ride on instead of the horse. After riding I looked at the goat and said, "Nice ride goat!"

Monkey

The place we ate at for lunch that day served popcorn with the sandwiches. I was in heaven!!!

We took a ride out to Eastern, where my parents met and both went to college. As you may know, they are the National Football Champions so I had to check out the new red field. Isn't it cool?

They are doing all kinds of construction, which I love to see, especially the cranes!

On the ride home we stopped at a fruit stand and I enjoyed a pear in the car. Yummy fruit!
Cheersing sissy with our icecream cones in Leavenworth. Wow, it was a beautiful day!

Easter Egg Hunt

We love to have our own Easter Egg Hunts with our friends in our backyard. This year however we had a very hard time planning. The weather has been crazy (as it has everywhere). Lots of rain does not make for a very fun hunt. So we ended up having some friends over one afternoon last week, during a break in the rain, and we had a lot of fun. We even enjoyed some Easter cupcakes together! I sure am lucky to have such great friends.

Elijah and I thinking about eating all that candy Yummy!
This zebra egg ended up having a toy camel in it, which was my favorite of all! (I think the Easter bunny got confused with the animals and eggs)

I was more interested in this yellow flower for the first half of the hunt, silly!

Time to see what is in here.
