NW Kids Club (1.12.08)

Mom and Dad took me to my friend Luke's 4th birthday party at a place called NW Kids Club in Salem. I had SO MUCH FUN. I didn't really participate in the party at all, because I was too busy playing.

The same day, McKenna and Kylie went to the air museum with their dad. I want to go there! It's the home of the Spruce Goose. Here's a cool picture of them.

Every Monday Dad and I have what Mom calls Man Day. Some days we just hang out, watch TV and eat junk food. Some days we hang out in the backyard and I run around in a t-shirt and nothing else. Some days we work on projects. On this particular Monday, Dad took me to the park to see the ducks.

It had been raining a lot, so I didn't get to play on the playground like I usually do, but I had a blast with Dad anyway.

This picture will give you and idea of what us Oregonians call a "sun break".

I love rocks and water!

Throwing rocks is really fun!

Hey, where did that rock go?

After all that fun, I was exhausted. Luckily Pooh and Donkey keep an eye out for me, so I can sleep soundly.

Puzzles (1.5.08)

I love puzzles. I'm really good at them too.

January 1, 2008

A new year! I started it off acting as goofy as ever.

Mom and Dad got me all bundled up for a walk to look at the Christmas lights one more time.

Renovation

Dad's working on the kitchen again! Check it out. (For those of you that have not seen our kitchen, where these cabinets are, there was nothing.) The trim has engraved leaves on it and hopefully it will tie all of our mismatched cabinets together. I think my dad does great work.

My parents are going to have fun painting all this and putting in the new counter tops!

A Short Christmas Story

So, apparently my mom was having a hard time finding the "perfect" stocking for me. She grew up with this stocking that she absolutely hated at the time. It was little red knickers with lace on the legs. Very girly. Of course, now she thinks it's totally adorable. Anyway, she was out one day having lunch with her mom and unfortunately for me, she spotted her stocking's twin and it's mate. Check out my new stocking. I'll probably grow up hating it as much as my mom hated hers. For some reason, she thinks that is just the way it should be.

Post-Christmas Fun

I got some fun toys for Christmas. I love playing with them. Dad likes my safari animals almost as much as I do. (12.28.07)

Thank god I got some new books too. I was getting pretty tired of the same old books day in and day out.

See what I mean about Dad loving my animals. He made this scene using the safari animals and the Steve Irwin action figure he gave me. It came with a bunch of gators.
