2010-05-24T07:57:00.000-07:00

Joseph Whidbey State Park Beach

2010-04-18T15:20:00.000-07:00

After we went to the gardens mommy & I stopped at the beach for awhile. I really like the beach, it was a lot of fun to play in the sand, and walk along the waters edge. Sometimes the water got me though. Mommy is so smart though, she had extra clothes for me to change into in the truck, so she wasn't upset that I got wet & sandy.

Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens

2010-04-18T14:30:00.000-07:00

Mommy & I went to this really pretty garden today. It was enormous! I really enjoyed walking around looking at all the flowers, and scenery. I hope mommy takes me back there someday. I bet it would be just as pretty this fall.

Hip Hop Bouncin'

2010-04-16T21:54:00.000-07:00

Mommy took me to the indoor bounce house place again today. We met some friends from MOPs there. I really had a lot of fun. The slide was the best!

Mommy even got a little video of me going down the slide. Weeeeeeee!!!!!!

Circus

2010-04-15T21:28:00.000-07:00

The circus came to town, and mommy took me! YIPPY! We had so much fun watching the animals and the preformers. Some of that stuff looks so fun! Shhhh~don't tell mommy, but I'm secretly waiting until I can try some of it! :) hehe!

We stopped to look at the elephants before we went into the big top. It was such a pretty day to go to the circus, I'm so glad daddy sent us the information about it, I just wish he was home to go with. The circus would have been way more fun with daddy too.

Waiting for the show to start, eating my free popcorn. Free how cool is that!? Not only was my ticket free, I got free popcorn too. The circus hasn't even started yet, and I love it!

Pretty tigers! I had trouble seeing most of the tiger act, everybody wanted to stand to see it, but what I did see, I LIKED!

WOW! So high! I bet I could do that.....yup I'm sure I could....I like to climb afterall!

That looks fun too. It's just a giant swing! Oh I can't wait to try. :)

This guy was so funny to watch. He kept falling and slipping. Mommy said it was all part of his act. He did really good, and made everybody laugh. His bouncy pool looked like lots of fun too.

WOW! With nothing under them if they fall even. Just hanging on a rope! I'm impressed!

That's a lot of hula hoops!

My friend Sarah & I were playing around one of the tent poles during the half time break. I'm glad Sarah & her mommy were able to meet us at the circus. We had a lot of fun together! We also saw our friends the Kendall's during half time.

Oooooo neat! That has to be hard, I can't even ride a bike yet. Someday though.

Mommy let me sit on her shoulders for the second half of the circus so I could see better. I'm sure mommy's poor shoulders were tired by the time the show was over and we got back to the car.

Now how come he gets to throw things up in the air inside? Mommy is always telling me not to do things like that. Doesn't seem fair. Maybe if I throw two of the same thing next time, she'll think I'm juggling and won't tell me to stop. Hmmm~it's worth a try!

The battery in the camera died just as the elephants came into the tent, so we didn't get any pictures of their act. But were the ever cool!

I really hope the circus comes to town again! Next time, hopefully, daddy will be home & we can all go as a family.

Playing at the Park

2010-04-14T20:44:00.000-07:00

Mommy & I went to the park today again. I met this really cute little girl there and we went down the slide together. I had a lot of fun today!

Pause to Smell the Flowers

2010-04-14T20:17:00.001-07:00

There were some really pretty flowers by the windmill at the park. I just love stopping to admire & smell all the flowers.

Dolphin Statue

2010-04-14T20:16:00.001-07:00

On the way to the park from the beach there was this really neat dolphin statue. I had fun playing on it for awhile, and of course mommy took lots of pictures.

City Beach

2010-04-14T07:43:00.000-07:00

It's really nice outside today, so mommy & I headed to the city beach. We wandered around by the water and played with some of the driftwood before heading to the park. I really had a lot of fun, and enjoyed not needing a sweatshirt.

Toybox

2010-04-10T20:12:00.000-07:00

Mommy moved a toybox from my room to the back yard so I can keep my yard toys organized. But you know what? The toybox itself is so much fun to play in, and for some reason I never realized it when it was in my room. Hehehe

Swing Set

2010-04-09T20:11:00.000-07:00

The weather has been warming up again, and the sun is out. So we've been spending more time outside playing. I'm so glad daddy took the time before he went away again to get my swingset from his friend at work. It's so much fun! I can't wait for daddy to get back home to play with me.

Bubbles

2010-04-09T15:54:00.000-07:00

I have been having so much fun with my new bubble gun. I just love all the bubbles, and so does my puppy! :)

Talked to Daddy

2010-04-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

Today mommy & I went to this big building on base, and we got to talk to daddy on the TV. I was so excited to see daddy! I wish we could have talked longer before he had to go back to work. I'll be so happy when daddy gets to come home again.

Super Hero PJ

2010-04-01T17:48:00.000-07:00

Mommy turned one of my old receiving blankets into a super hero cape for me. Isn't that just the neatest idea? I really like my super hero cape, it's so fun to pretend in.

Mommy caught me on video pretending to be a super hero. Woosh!!!!!

Mommy embroidered my cape with a shield and my initials. I really like it! Mommy did great for her first attempt at embroidery.

Daffodils

2010-03-27T16:00:00.000-07:00

After riding the pony at the Eater Egg Hunt, I found this patch of really pretty flowers. Mommy said they are called Daffodils.

We met friends at the Easter Egg hunt. Sarah shared some of her cany with me since I slept through getting to go find it, and I gave her some of the flowers that I picked for mommy. Aren't I just the gentleman? I hung on to a flower just for mommy though.

My 1st Easter Egg Hunt

2010-03-27T15:53:00.000-07:00

Daddy sent mommy an email about an Easter Egg hunt, so mommy took me. Wouldn't you know.....I feel asleep on the way there, and slept through the hunt for candy. Mommy says that there is another egg hunt coming up soon and she is going to take me to it. Hopefully I won't fall asleep again, it sounds like bunches of fun.

At least I didn't miss out of all of the fun. There was a pony there, and the people with the pony let us kids get pictures, and even go for rides. It was pretty fun!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

2010-03-24T15:36:00.000-07:00

It's mommy's birthday today! We went to the bowling alley to play with the air hockey table and have lunch. Mommy even let me play on the jungle gym for awhile.

Later mommy & I had icecream cones for a birthday treat.

Since mommy did so much for me on her birthday, I thought I'd be nice and mow the yard for her tonight.

2010-03-15T14:45:00.000-07:00

Mommy says this is her favorite picture so far. I have to admit I'm quite proud of it myself! After it dried, mommy hung it on the cupboard door where she can see it every time she goes to the kitchen. I just love that mommy likes my art enough to display it around the house for all to see.

Helping Mommy Fold Laundry

2010-03-15T14:41:00.000-07:00
