Mother's Day at the Zoo

On Mother's Day, we took Mom to see all the animals.
It had been a while since we had seen them
and I know they were missing us!
Booboo and I couldn't wait to see them either!!!


Booboo was especially happy because last time she
was the zoo, she was just a little bity baby and
she didn't even really get to know the animals like I did.


Hi Scotty!


I told Mom I wanted to ride that elephant
but this is as close as we got.


But I did get to get very close to the giraffe!


Dad and I fed him a snack
and he was very happy about it.


Then I got to get in the driver's seat of this big van!


I sure did love driving that wheel!


Later on, I got to meet a whole family of gorillas!


We sure do love the zoo!
Even if it does wear us out later.

Mom Has a Happy Birthday

Did you know that on Monday Mom celebrated
her 29th birthday for the 5th time???


Booboo and I got her a very pretty cake.


And we helped her blow out the candles.


Cake and ice cream are my favorite!


And Dad's favorite too!!!


My sis doesn't like to get her hands dirty
so she just dove in face first.


And sometimes nose first.


And even though she was eating face first,
she still got her fingers dirty!


Sometimes Booboo has silly ideas,
but I thought this one was pretty good!


Happy Birthday Mom!

The Chow Wagon

I'll be so glad when I can sit in the front seat
and drive the wheel!!!
Anyway, here I am loaded up in the backseat
on my way to the Derby Chow Wagon on the river!


I was very excited because I got to see my friends,
Isabelle, Anna and Bodart!


And even Booboo was there too!
She loved running around the lawn!


In fact, she ran all over the place!!


She ran around so much, that Dad had to hold her hand.
It made her kind of mad.


She kept trying to get away!
She's so silly!!!


It was fun walking around with Bodart.


It was especially good to hang out with Isabelle too!


Mom decided that she was going to try one of the rides
at the Chow Wagon and she went around so much,
it even made me dizzy watching her.


Later, Dad got me a Spongebob balloon.
I loved walking around with him and showing him off.


Booboo realized that it was better to ride instead of walk
and she kicked back and took in all the sights.


Mom and Dad were having a very good time with me!


And so were the Bodarts!


Isabelle and I are like two peas in a pod!


The girls.


Booboo and I loved all the yummy food!!
Even if it was a little messy.


But my favorite part was when Bodart treated us to a banana split!


I dug right into that ice cream!!!!


Booboo dug in too.


In fact, we ALL dug in!!!


I sure do have a good time with Isabelle!


I even tried to kiss her a few times,
but she ran away.
I know I'll catch her next time!


What a fun Derby festival event!
At the end of the night,
I cuddled with Spongebob
and reflected on the good times!

The First Popsicle of the Season

I love warmer weather!
Warmer weather means POPSICLES!!!!


I sure do love Popsicles!


And Booboo got to have her very first Popsicle
on this very warm day!


Grape is my favorite!


What a good day!


Cheers to the first popsicle this spring!
I know there will be lots and lots more!

Easter Eggs

On Saturday, it was time to dye some eggs
for the Easter Bunny.


Aunt Steph got a whole bunch of eggs
and gave us instructions on what to do.


We listened very carefully
before digging in to the dye and the eggs!


Mom was pretty excited too and
she decided to help me and McKena.


Cousin Gus was doing just fine on his own!


Hmmm.... I think I'll do a taste test real quick....


After I realized that (1) I didn't like the taste of the dye
and (2) my fingers were going to get really dirty,
I decided to go play instead.


Mom took over my eggs and
she and McKena made all sorts of
crazy colored eggs.


After playing at Grandma Joyce's with my cousins,
it was time to go home and play King of the Mountain!
I win!!!!


Just kidding!
I love sharing this slide with Booboo!

Thanks for all the Easter fun everybody!
