ridin' my ktm strider

daddy was was so excited to see me ride my strider that he forgot to put my shoes on. however, he did remember my helmet.

monkeying around

on friday we went to little monkey bizness for family night. my favorite things to do there include going down the "big slide", jumping around in the bounce house, and building things with daddy.

my visit to the museum

over the weekend, mommy and daddy took me to the denver museum of nature and science. mommy got a groupon and we had to use it before my baby brother arrives. i had so much fun in the planetarium watching big bird and elmo teach me about the stars, hanging out at the kids discovery zone, looking at the different museum displays, and watching polars bears in the imax with my 3D glasses.

digging for dinosaur bones

of course i gravitated toward the puppies

my new trick

today we went to storytime at the library and then stopped by the park with my friend eliana. it was too hot so we didn't stay long. but I was there long enough to see another little boy do a fun trick. i just had to try it out myself.

today is my actual birthday!

today mommy and daddy helped me celebrate my actual birthday with an ice cream outing. we picked up ice cream and then went to the park for some birthday fun!

my very own ice cream with sprinkles

a belly full of ice cream and a playground...life is good!

4th of july with friends

today we celebrated the 4th of july with our neighborhood parade and a fun day at the pool. i had a blast hanging out and playing with eliana and ryker.

drinkin' it in

today mommy had a doctor appointment so I got to go to eliana's house to play. it was warm outside so mrs. beth set up the sprinkler ball for us to play with. we had more fun drinking the water than playing in it.

happy daddy's day!

over the weekend, i got to celebrate daddy's day with mommy and some friends. on saturday, i went to my second swim lesson, but this time with daddy in the water. then we went to chatfield state park, had a picnic, and played in the water with some friends. on sunday, i made daddy a sign at sunday school and gave it to him when we got home. happy daddy's day daddy, i love you!

happy daddy's day to the best daddy in the wold

fun on the water slide

i was able to wait in line for the slide without mommy or daddy. my first taste of independence. of course it's always easier when mommy is waiting at the end of the slide to catch me.

going golfing

mommy, daddy and i went putt-putt golfing with mommy's cousin kristi and her husband josh. kristi and josh were nice enough to let me interfere with their games. i helped everyone make a few hole in ones by picking up the ball and dropping it in the hole for them.

my first time golfing

trying to get the golf ball in the hole

taking the easy route

there it goes

that's a birdie
