Nice List

Phew! I made Santa's "nice" list!!!

Merry Christmas!

Holiday Baking 101

Mom's been keeping me busy in the kitchen. First, making caramel pecan pie for Thanksgiving and then helping Grandma make some cut-out cookies for Christmas. I sure like the end results!

Ring around the Rosie

Boy do my dad and Grandpa know how to have a good time! Haley and I so much fun!!!

Baby Chloe

There's a new kid in town and her name is, Baby Chloe! She's my new baby cousin who was born on Oct 21st. Grandma and Grandpa are so lucky...they got to hold her!

Sisters Haley and Isabel

Having some fun with my cousin Haley playing dress-up!

Where's Isabel?

Ready for Take-off

Thanks to my friend, Logan, I've got a new pair (and a half) of wheels. He's all grown up now -- having turned 4 in October -- and is off to bigger and better modes of transportation!

Trick or Treat

I had a fun time trick or treating on Halloween. Thankfully my neighbors were kind enough to give me treats instead of tricks. Hmmm...where did my treats go???

One "Cool" Outfit

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that this picture is going to pop up again in another 15 years???

Tobert

I took a liking to Emma's kitty, Tobert. Emma calls him, Darby, but I think Tobert is more fitting!

Trip to Portland

Well, I can't find the photo of me on the airplane, but I assure you I was an angel as we flew out to Portland to visit my cousin Emma. We had an action packed trip including a visit to Cannon Beach (of Goonies fame, according to Aunt Sarah) where I got my first chance to see the Pacific Ocean! It was a bit windy, but Emma and I still had a blast playing on the beach. Of course Mom and Dad wanted me to sit still for a couple seconds so we could get a family photo. Geez!

Fun at the Park

Hanging out at my cousin Emma's park. Underdog, Aunt Sarah!

Go Daddy!

Cheering Daddy on as he ran in the TC 10 Mile race. He was really fast so we missed seeing him cross the finish line. Luckily we caught him in-route!

First Solo Flight

I had a successful solo trip down the roller slide at Miller Park that I ended up going down it multiple times. Apparently I had too much fun as Mom and Dad then had to join in on the fun and test out the slide themselves! They are so embarassing!!!

More Ride, Daddy!

Check out my "airplane"!

One Great Lake

We went on our annual road trip up to Grand Marais with Daddy's family over Labor Day weekend. We got to stop along the way to have peanut butter sam-iches and say "hi" to the seagulls at Two Harbors. We camped out at the hotel this year again and Mom and Dad let me spend ample time down on the lake front playing with rocks. I ended up getting pretty sick while I was there but Mom and Dad took good care of me and stopped at the doctor's office on our way back home.

I'm back....

After a long hiatus, I'm back blogging. Scroll down to see photos from when my cousins came to visit. It's been a busy summer!

Buddies

Got together with a couple of my buddies, Etta and Kyle. I've been friends with them for well over a year already having met them at a Baby and Mama class soon after I was born. My how we've all grown!!!

Fun on the Farm

Stick, puppy and Daddy! Lovin' life!

First words

Kidstock

Almost, but not quite like Woodstock. I sure like the outdoor kiddie concerts. Maybe next year I'll even go up on stage and show off my dance moves!

Chil-axen!

Chillin' with Grandma, Grandpa and Emma in the backyard. What a beautiful day. I was in need of a "kiddie beverage" by the end of the day!

Where are you, Bunny?

I found you...eventually!

Minneota Zoo

I sure like having my cousins visit, we get to do all sorts of fun stuff...like visiting the zoo!










Hi Bear! Growl...












Pretty neat, Haley and I got to pet a goat.

Fun at MOA!

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round. Our first ride of the afternoon at Mall of America!











Roller Coaster! Whee!!!
















Banned from the "frogger" because Mom thought I'd freak out on it. She's probably right...so I waited patiently while Haley and Emma rode on it.














Ah, this is fun.

Budding Chefs???

While my cousins and I enjoy helping out in the kitchen, we admit that we like being taste testers best!
