Our trip to Kansas City

Swimming with Daddy.



Family fun at the Royals game.

Giving Papa hugs.

Loving the game.

So much to see!

My ice cream dish/baseball hat.

This was before Mikey started crying because he hated these rides :-)

Future Tiger Woods?

Or maybe Derek Jeter instead :-)


Grandma showing me the correct way to use the golf club.

Oh the places I have been...in July that is!

I had a blast at the zoo with Mommy and Grandma C.

We got to ride the train.

And look at the feesh!

I helped Kiley celebrate her 3rd birthday.

Patiently waited for Uncle Troy to open her Ken doll :-)

And got hugs from the birthday girl.


I went to Davenport to hang out with my boys (Jace, Mavi and Keenan).

Eat pizza and swim at the pool.

And play some video games with my buddy Jace.

I went to Jefferson to hang out with the girls (Paige with Jenna, Mommy and Me, Jenn with Peyton).

And helped Kiley and Colby move into their new house...

or maybe we just hung out with Pappa instead.

Dance Party Saturday Night!

P.S. - I'm still working on the pictures :-)

Pictures coming soon.

I had a whole post ready with tons of pics...but for some reason spell check messed all of them up. So once I figure out what went wrong I can get them all posted. Unfortunately, it won't be tonight :-)

Pictures from the past month...

So I have been better about taking pictures, but less successful at posting them! The little guy continues to be as busy as ever. We have found it difficult to take him places we can't "contain" him...he's such a little explorer, or call him Mr. Independent, maybe even a little Monkey. I've heard them all :-) But we do love our busy little man. He has a new found love of singing and playing his guitar (aka his cubs bat). He even pulls out a few dance moves every once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those pics as he becomes shy once he has an audience.

Pushing my puppy around in the stroller.

We do love our Cubs around here!

For some reason he climbs into the toy box to play.

I think he may have a little resentment towards me later on in life for this one :-)

Mikey has a new fascination for seeing what he can fit in to.

This book shelve is just my size!

I get this look from Daddy.

Pouring all my water out and getting caught.

Sporting Daddy's headband.

Memorial Weekend

So I have officially started slacking again with posting. I received a friendly reminder yesterday that I need to update the blog but quickly realized I haven't taken one picture since Easter...oops! We had BBQ yesterday so I figured I better snap some pics. Here you go-

The little guy relaxing...this is a rare occurrence!

Looking for bugs with Papa.

Then smashing them with the broom!

Going down the slide, looks like head first.

Pulling my new wagon mommy scored at a garage sale.

Thought you might have missed this photo the first time :-)

Standing up in my new wagon.

Playing with sidewalk chalk for the 1st time. It looked so yummy at first I had to taste it. Mommy promptly showed my what you are really supposed to do with it.

Grandma D. helping me draw.

The chalk works much better if you spill them all out.

Score one for Santa

The little man stayed with Grandma and Grandpa C. on Friday so Mommy and Daddy could have a much needed night out and also get some spring cleaning done on Saturday. There was an Easter egg hunt in town so they decided to take Mikey. Remember way back in December when the little guy was a perfect angel for Santa? Well, the Easter Bunny didn't go over as well.

Its kind of hard to see in this picture but the little guy is in tears. Apparently a giant bunny can be a little frightening when you are just a little guy :-(

So papa and Mikey shot some hoops instead.


And enjoyed the beautiful weather in my mini coupe.

The Easter Bunny made up for the scare and brought a basket full of goodies on Sunday.


A coloring book with puppies, maybe this bunny knows his stuff!

Chocolate for breakfast, the little guy might just change his mind about that bunny.


A couple weeks ago we were back visiting Gma and Gpa C. and unfortunately had to make a trip to the ER. Mikey was running, tripped and fell splitting his chin open. Here is a pic of the little guy from that day messy shirt and all. No stitches, they use skin glue...but it still took 3 of us to hold him down to get that done.

Our little cheese ball hamming it up before bedtime.

Mikey loves to color or yeller as he likes to say it.
