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.

gone fishing

zoe and her parents gave me a cool fishing kit for my birthday (along with a curious george goes fishing book). i love wearing the vest around the house. since my grandparents love fishing, i figured i should get in some practice.

this looks like a good spot to catch some fish

carefully testing out the line

baiting, casting and waiting...patiently waiting

nothing is biting here so it's time to pack it up...

...and move on to the next spot

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!

my weekend with gampa and grammie

gampa and grammie came to visit over the weekend and we had lots of fun going to a community-wide garage sale, eating frozen yogurt and smores, venturing out to tiny town and playing outside. even though they helped mommy and daddy with a few household and yard chores, they always made time to play with me. thanks gampa and grammie, i had lots of fun. i love you and miss you already!

welcome to my first playhouse

since the weather here in colorado is getting colder, mommy and daddy decided to get me something fun to play with inside for those cold, snowy colorado days. i have my very own planter boxes, kitchen, phone, work bench (complete with tools), mailbox, fence (that i can take apart with my tools) and front door. daddy is going to put christmas lights on it for the holidays. now if i can just convince mommy and daddy that i need a bbq grill to go with it.

hard at work at my work bench...just like my daddy

my very own roadster

mommy and daddy gave me an early birthday present today...my very own roadster swing. daddy hung the swing this evening so that i could enjoy the cool weather. i hear the swing comes with stickers so i can personalize it and make it really cool! thanks mommy and daddy.

my first easter

mommy, daddy and i all went to easter service at church this morning, then had a little breakfast at einstein's. once we got home, mommy and daddy gave me my first easter basket. i had a lot of fun checking out all my new toys and books. i hear there may be an easter egg hunt later on, so stay tuned.
