Keeping Mom and Dad Busy

Whenever someone asks what I've been doing all summer,
I always have the same answer:
Keeping Mom and Dad busy!


I've discovered tennis and I LOVE it!


Dad and I play in the backyard on sunny days.


I'm pretty sure I'll be joining the pro circuit by next year.


I'm so good at this that
I'm sure I'll have some endorsement deals pretty soon too.


I also like baseball - even though I have to use my tennis balls when I'm pitching.


And of course I hang out with my cousins....
McKena and I love having popsicles outside!!


Dad and I found this cool playground that's right by my house.


This slide is fantastic!!


Can I just tell you how much fun this is???


Seriously.... It's a BLAST!


Gus and I love getting together for debates.


He always has to add one more thing to his side of the debate....


But in the end,
I think we both see each other's side.


Did I mention that I love to swim??


And even Booboo does too,
only she gets in a lot of trouble for going up the ladder by herself.

So my summer is pretty rockin' so far!
And just think, it's not even done yet!

You're Next, Federer

I'm A Baller

The other day, we headed up to the church parking lot
to shoot some hoops!


You know I'm a baller!!!


It's a SLAM DUNK!!


Here's Booboo trying for a 3-pointer...


But she really just ended up doing a layup....


Booboo always has to make sure her shots make it all the way in.


Dad's pretty good at defense....


But I'm so fast I can beat him down court every time!!!


Great game, Boo!
I bet we can beat Mom and Dad next time, too!

The Zoo With Booboo, Zanna and Gus Too

Can you guess why Booboo was giving such a big cheese??


We were on our way to the zoo
and even Clifford the Big Red Dog was there!


But Booboo likes Clifford better when he's just on PBS Kids.


So after Clifford,
we went to see the lemurs.
They like me.


And did you know that even
Cousin Gus met us at the zoo??
He helped me tame some buffalo we ran into.


And Cousin Zanna was there too!
She and Booboo looked very pretty
and very relaxed.


Here we are taming a wild rhino!


Booboo is always on the lookout for adventure.


I love this new Spongebob ride!
I can't wait to try it!


We also got to see Scotty and his mom do
some tricks for us!


Say CHEESE!



Mom and Booboo found some nice shade for a photo op.


Cousin Gus and I ruled these gorillas!


It's very misty in the Gorilla Forest!
I love riding through the mist a lot!


Here's one of Booboo's monkey friends.


I like monkeys too!


Booboo and I were so good at the zoo,
that we got to go to McDonalds and
get a happy meal and happy toys!!


We sure do love happy meals!

What a great adventure at the zoo
with my cousins, Booboo and Clifford too!

Mom and Dad Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On Sunday, we all went downtown to
Louisville Slugger Field to see the Bats play!


And even Mom and Booboo came too!


When we got there, I was very excited to see
all those baseball players on the field.



Booboo was having a great time in the stands
with her animal crackers...


But Dad taught me that baseball games are about
nachos, popcorn and big pretzels!!


I brought my glove to catch any foul balls.


The Bats have the lead!!!


Mom made a joke about how when you go to a ballgame it's
time to strap on the feedbag....
But I think she had a good idea!


I'm loving this game!


Yep, my first baseball game was awesome!
Can't wait for the next one!
