Morning At The Zoo

This morning I got to go to the zoo!!
Now that is is finally starting to be a
little cool in the mornings,
I get to start going to the zoo every week again.
I am very excited. I like the zoo.

Today I watched the tiger for about 15 minutes.....
he just kept pacing back and forth right in front of me.
He was close!!!

Then when I was feeding the
giraffe's with my Mom,
I saw my cousin JD and Gris again!
We just keep running into them at the zoo.

JD and Maddy watching the zoo keeper
clean out the polar bears house.

Then I went to check out the gibbon's.
They sure were making a lot of screeching
noises and I couldn't take my eyes off of him!

Tuesday Activity Day

Yesterday I had a BUSY day!!
My mom and I gave Bear a bath
because my parents think he smells...
I think he smells wonderful!
I guess my parents win, because he got a bath.
I couldn't wait for him to dry off....
I missed him so much!


Me just making sure my Mom remembers
that Bear is outside and just watching him dry.

After bear was dry and I could
concentrate on other things,
I got to play with some stickers at my picnic table.
At first I didn't like them because I
couldn't get them off my fingers, but then
I figured it out and had a pretty good time.


After that, I hopped into my
covered wagon and walked around
the corner with my Mom to visit with
Samuel and his Mom, Marisa.
We played and read books and had some snacks!
Then I was pooped and headed home for
dinner and to wait for my Daddy to get home.
That's my favorite part of the day!

Samuel and Madeleine

2 Years

Did you know my parents have been
married for almost 2 years?
Its true.
On Tuesday the 29th, it will be 2 years.
So they left me at home with Auntie M
and went out to a nice steak dinner at Fleming's.
They said they had so much fun they
are going to start doing it more often!

Window Coverings

Today Gigi came down and brought the
window covering for my new big girl room!!
I have a quilt, bed skirt and hamper liner coming, too!
When my parents finally paint the room
I will show you what it looks like.

You should be jealous...

My new window covering.


The window covering for Clare.

My parents need to paint Clare's room, too.

At The Table

I got my new seat in the mail today!!
Now I get to eat every meal at the table,
I didn't even throw my food today.
Yea Me!!!

My Mom didn't even ask me to smile....
I did this on my own when I saw the camera!!

Big Shoes

I like to put on my Mom's shoes.
Sometimes I even put my Dad's on, too!!
I really like when they have their flip flops
off because then I get to carry the flips
to them and make them put them back on!

Dinner At The Table

Lately I have been kind of a turd while I am eating.
I like to throw my food on the floor,
and nothing my parents do can stop me!!!
Tonight for dinner I got to eat at the table
with a plate and special place mat.
I did really good!!! The only problem is that my chair
won't slide all the way under the table,
so I think I am going to get a new seat
and this will go away until
Baby Clare is old enough to use it!

Holla...

... if you see a ghetto baby in the mirror!!!

Ice Scream Safari

Tonight there was an ice cream
safari at the zoo and I got to go!!!
We had In-N-Out Burger for dinner and
then a small ice cream snack while we
walked around checking out the animals!

My family.

We also ran into my cousin JD and
his Mom, Gris, tonight!
JD gave me a hug and kept
saying my name over and over!!

JD and Gris.

I also got to touch a snake and some other reptile.
I didn't cry, but I didn't like it very much.
Slimy!

Relaxing With A Smile

Today my Mom was going through baby clothes,

when she was almost done I took a

seat and kicked my feet up!!

My Mom asked me to stay there so she

could get the camera and I nodded that I would...

when she came back I was in the same spot!

My Mom asked for a smile, and when you ask for one,

this is what you get!

Labor Day Weekend

I went to Phoenix for Labor Day Weekend
to have a BBQ and hang out with some friends.
Saturday when I got to my Grandpa
and Grandma's house, I got an apron.
I wore it for hours!

Pretty apron.

I relaxed and read with my Auntie B.

Sunday was the day of the BBQ and
our friends, the Panzer's,
couldn't make it to the actual BBQ due to another party,
so they came over early to visit with us!

My Dad wasn't up in Phoenix yet,
and I really missed him because all I
wanted was for Kellen to hold my hand
and let me sit on his lap.
I also dragged him around the backyard!

Baby Kellen and I are 3rd generation friends.
My Mom has known Kellen for over 25 years
and our Grandpa's are friends!!

Maddy and Kellen

When the actual BBQ started, I had more friends to play with!!

We each had a ball almost all night!!

Another set of 3rd generation friends!
Our parents are friends and our Grandpa's are friends, too!!

My Auntie B says that my Mom never
takes a picture of anyone but me,
so this one is for you!!
