Potty trained already???

Mommy can't believe her very eyes but I decided all the sudden that I am ready to be potty trained! She thought that for sure it was going to be another year or so, cuz you always hear how boys take longer than girls, but since I get to watch Tori go potty every day, I figured out that I wanted to get in on the action! I LOVE sitting on the big potty! I find it very interesting seeing how my body parts work together! I get very excited when I get to flush something down the toliet - especially when I get to see it come out first! Mommy can't wait to show these photos at my high school graduation or better yet, my wedding one day! Oh, she wouldn't dare... or would she????

Jolly Green Giant!

Mommy planted an elephant ear plant on our deck and I thought that one of the leaves made a really good hat!! (cuz you know I LOVE hats!)

Dressing up "Thai" style

Grandma brought us back some outfits from Thailand so we had to model them for her! She loves seeing us wear our native clothing!

My babe on my bike!

Ava and I love each other so much, it's not even funny! Mommy saw us cruzing down the driveway and had a mental flash-forward of what we'll be like in about 16 years! I hope her dad doesn't have a shotgun!

Tuckered out by Deanna Rose Farmstead

When Aunt Noel & Uncle Nick were here, we took them to the Deanna Rose Farmstead - it was so much fun seeing all the animals and playing in the playground but by the time we went home, I was wore out and fell asleep on the way back to the car!

How'd ya do that????

Mommy is always complaining about how I get into trouble all the time! And so much of it is a mystery to her! The first one is of me being attacked by the high chair! And then this morning she heard me calling for her and she came down and found me halfway stranded on the kitchen counter - with no idea how I got there either! It's my little secret!

A little mud never hurt anyone....

So, Mommy planted her garden again this year. We're growing carrots, onions, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers. I am all about playing in the dirt right alongside her. I love digging for worms and just getting my hands dirty, much to Mommy's dismay. She's afraid that I am going to ruin her plants but I'm really just helping!

Summertime fun!

I love summer! I am always telling Mommy "outside! outside!" I love being barefoot and popsicles! I love swimming and exploring and just being outdoors! No TV for me - it's way too boring! I am definitely not an "indoor" kid!

Cutest Kids Contest!

Grandma secretly entered me and Tori into a Cutest Kids Contest and I won first runner up! I got a savings bond and a cool plaque - Mommy is quite proud!
