memorial day part 2 - water and bubbles

i got to enjoy two of my favorite things today...water and bubbles.

loving my water toys

turning my truck into a boat

chasing bubbles

realizing it's easier to catch them when they land

searching, searching, searching for bubbles

first the hand goes in the water...

...then the foot goes in the water

memorial day part 1 - playhouse

i love having my playhouse outside. it gives me the freedom to organize things as i wish, but it also means i have to keep it nice and tidy.

chillin' in my chair enjoying a frozen yogurt

nicely shaded

okay, the sun is starting to shine directly in my face. so...

...time to rearrange the seats

this should do it

ahh, no more sun in my face. i wonder if its better...

...in the other seat. nope, same result.

wonder how it would be sitting in the playhouse

not too bad. but it could use a good cleaning

ceilings seem to collect lots of dust

almost done

now that is what i call clean

i think i've earned my spot in daddy's chair

my playhouse has moved

my playhouse used to be inside the house, but mommy and daddy decided it was time to make the move and set it up outside. they marked out an area, covered the ground with recycled rubber and gave me my very own play area in the backyard. thanks mommy and daddy, i love my new space.

my robe

mommy came back from tennessee this week and brought me a gift from lula...a robe. thanks lula. i can't believe it has taken mommy and daddy this long to get me a robe. by the way, i am not texting, i just like to play with daddy's old phone. it would be nice if it was at least charged.

my weekend with daddy

while mommy was in tennessee visiting lula and my cousins, daddy and i got to spend five days together. daddy tried to make sure we did something outside of the house each day. on our last full day together before mommy came home, we went to the denver zoo. daddy thought it was hilarious that so many mommy's with strollers were there. daddy's with strollers were definitely not in abundance on our trip to the zoo. thanks for taking such good care of me daddy and for making it so fun. here are a few pics from my adventurous day at the zoo.

the bears were huge!

i was so interested in the gorilla next to the window

i seemed to be pointing at everything

this thing was monkeying around. so funny!

hmm, reminds me of mommy's favorite snack...cheetos!

i did get to spend some time at a play area
