Family Celebration

We went to Carlos O Kelly's to celebrate Uncle Eric's graduation. We got our own room, which was good, since we tend to get pretty loud. Here is Uncle Todd , Aunty Val and baby John, my very first cousin.Uncle Eric Loved the gifts he got.
As you can tell from this pic, I was pretty sick of taking pictures and very tired, but I still had a fun time there. I got my own corner of the room to run around in, I got to try chips and salsa for the first time, and I loved them. And I also got to try fried ice cream for the firs time!!! YUMMY! I think I got more than anyone else.

I'm also such a big boy, I get my own cup at the restaurant and my own meal.

Let me play too!

After observing my daddy and uncles for awhile it did not take me long to learn how to play with them.Oh, I love you uncle Eric
Dad, you better beware!
Here comes my secret move.
The head crusher!

I love to wrestle!

Day with Great Aunt Becky!

Today we got to visit my Great Aunt Becky, Drew, and 2nd cousin Autumn. We had a fun time visiting together. Here I am playing with Autumn Keys at Applebees. I thought that a great restaurant choice because I love to say apple and their were apples everywhere!Me, giving Ginger a kiss.
Ginger and I checking out the rabbit in the yard. Yes, ginger does have a dress on. I was not sure what to think about that at first:)

Playing outside

We are now at Grandma and Grandpa's house and we are here to see Eric's graduation. This is Eric getting into his car, this is how I mostly see him. But I LOVE my uncle Eric and love to be around him when he is home.After grandma takes some pictures of me, I have to check them out to see how I look.
I also love to walk buddy. Buddy does not seem to run as fast as me, but he's a good sport most of the time.
Hut...Hut...Hike... Is this a football pose or what?
Hmmm.... I think I like this thick grass...

Iowa or Bust!

Wed. we got to travel to Iowa! It was two very long plane rides. Luckily they have play areas at the airports, so I at least got to run around a little. Here I am at one of the play areas between plane rides.What was awesome about the day is that I got to suck on my pacifier any time I wanted AND I got to eat gold fish whenever I wanted AND I got to watch baby signing time whenever i wanted!
Fish! I love fish.

Sunday Morning Chores

This morning before church mommy and I washed the car while daddy trimmed the tree. First of all I did not appreciate going outside without all my clothes on. I kept telling mom 'clothes, clothes' but she did not listen to me. apparently when you clean the car you don't wear all your clothes.It was kind of fun playing with the rags, but cleaning the car really did not interest me at all (sorry Hoke family) I made mommy do the whole thing by herself while I...
Helped daddy trim the tree. This is my kind of work. Saws, Clippers, daddy's gloves. Those are much better than water and a bucket any day.
Wow, the car looks really clean mommy, (and don't worry mommy dried the car off fast so there was no water spots!) I got to 'drive' while mommy finished cleaning the inside of the car. Well, until I figured out how the horn worked. Daddy did not think the neighbors appreciated that at 8:30 on a Sunday morning.
