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.

Daddy Neigh!

This is me riding daddy yesterday! I was a little nervous at first so I even held on with my mouth...This is so much fun.
I love you daddy!

Happy Mother's Day!

Daddy helped me make this for mommy. I loved making it, and thought it was amazing that I was making handprints, until I realized...that my hands were blue!
Don't forget to click on the picture and read all the reasons I love my mommy!

Saturday at the Desert Botanical Gardens

Yesterday I got to spend the morning with my Great Aunt Cindy, Nicole, Jennifer and mommy and daddy. We had such a fun time . Here are some pretty sunflowers that were in the Indian garden.The whole gang, if you want to see it better just click on it and it will become big.
Lunch time. Here we are relaxing in the shade after our picnic lunch.
This sunflower reminded me of the sun.

I love my mommies cousins...

We also got to see frogs at the garden! I don't hold hands with just anyone...
Here we are trying to grind flour out of Mesquite beans.
I love spending time with Nicole and Jennifer! and once again I am a lot more happy than I look.

Butterfly Garden

I loved visiting the butterfly garden. There is a little pond with fish, tons of flowers, and of course, butterflies!
"please can I touch it daddy?"
I'm a lot happier than I look.

Now and Then take two

Nolan and I last May! Back then Nolan was actually smaller than me:)

Wood chip fun

Whoever knew woodchips could be so much fun.

Nolan and I got to go to the park on Friday. Here we are playing by the lake. We were amazed at the turtle behind us. (notice who is holding the ball in this picture)Best Friends (now Nolan has the ball) Nolan and I have really been working on sharing, and we did a GREAT job on Friday!
ready to conquer the playground
I know I'm cute...

Blast from the past

This is me 1 year ago. Mommy thinks I am getting more hyper, but little does she remember I was just as hyper a year ago!

Afternoon with the Changs

I had a fun time yesterday playing with Jonathan and Josiah.Their parents set up this fun play pen for my nap time, (I did not go to sleep) and we all decided it would be fun to play in it. So we spent a good 30 minutes playing together in the play pen...hmmm...I wonder what the weight limit is....

We are all pretending to go Nigh Nigh
Pretending some more.

Now & Then

This was us last year in May! We have grown so much.

Today at the Park

Nolan was gone to Iowa for a long weekend and I missed him, so today we got to go play at the park . There were a lot of kids at the park today. So here I am with a new random friend from the park.Up Up UP
Here is Nolan playing catch with another random friend from the park.
Here is Nolan and I both trying to pull our wagon together.
Here I am wanting to do it all by myself!

I'm glad your back nolan, we missed you!

Afternoon of Fun

this afternoon mommy and I went to Jonathan(Left) and Josiah's(right) house. We had a fun time together. I am pretty good at saying Josiah's name, but Jonathan is still hard for me so I just call any asian I see Josiah.Check out my cool shirt. It is in honor of Uncle Eric. Mommy says I am going to wear it for his graduation party. Good Luck at your audition Uncle Eric!
This is Josiah's reply when asked to raise his hand if he's Josiah...This is also his reply when asked to raise his hand if he is Jonathan:)
Josiah can wink on command!
Mystery Friend...We think it may be Jonathan!
Thanks for letting me come over and play.

I'm Stuck!

One of my favorite things to do at Jonathan and Josiah's house is to try to sneak through the doggy door with out getting caught. But for some reason today I could not fit all the way through. Not only was I stuck, George 'the dog' decided to come out the doggy door WHILE I was stuck!! It was a pretty traumatic experience. So mommy wants to know, have I learned my lesson? Of course not, I will just keep trying!

Fun at the Park

Mommy took me to a new park today, and it was so fun. I LOVED playing in this tunnel.
