Sorry for the delay

I've been having fun but also been busy keeping up on the yardwork.  Silly grass grows a ton when it rains like it has....

Stay tuned for further updates on what I've been up to.

As Summer Winds Down....

It's very important to make sure you have all the fun you can while the weather is still warm.  For example, you should talk your parents into walking up to the local pizza place to get some ice cream.  Then you should ask them if you can try eating the cone all by yourself.  See for yourself how much fun you can have!

It was great fun (and delicious.)  But I think I may have eaten too much too fast...

Oh well, not too many more days to "binge" on ice cream left.  Thanks Momma and Daddoo!!!

First Trip to the Zoo!

We took Eden to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo a few weeks back.  She had a great time and we enjoyed seeing her interact with some new (and some familiar) animals.  Enjoy watching Eden feed a giraffe, ride a horse, and play with the goats!

Daddy's not gonna lie, he really likes the goats too!

Fun at the Fair - Year #2

So I had a chance to see some of the bands at the Elkhart County 4H Fair this year and go back another night just for some "fair food."  I love the fair almost as much as I love the 4th of July!  Check out some clips of me "getting down" to the music:

Gotta love those Beatles Cover Bands!

My First Party at Chuck E Cheese!

A friend of Mommy's was very nice and invited us to her daughter's birthday party a few weekends ago. I was very excited to go and ended up having a wonderful time.  I got to play games, ride rides, and eat one of my favorite foods, pizza!!!!  Check out all the fun I had.

Riding the Choo Choo Train:

Learning to drive cars with Daddy (I'll really learn from Mommy later :)

Riding the horse in a racing game:

My first ride in a Monster Truck:

With Mommy and Chuck E (side note...Dad still isn't sure where Chuck E's other hand was in this photo and Mom's not saying anything ;)

Playing my first game of Whack A Mole !

Let me know if you ever have a party at C.E.C.  I'd love to come!

More 4th Fun

I got a chance to spend some time in a bounce house as well on the 4th of July (another reason it rocks Dad!)  Please pay no attention to my behavior during the 30-42 second segment...

Happy 4th of July!

Some of you know the backstory but for those of you that don't, I'll fill you in.  The 4th of July is a wonderful celebration of our nation's birth but for Mommy and Daddy, it was usually a point of contention prior to my coming along.  You see, Daddy is perfectly happy staying in a cool house (all day), eating great food, and then blowing stuff up from the comfort of his (or family's) own home as a way to celebrate. 

Mommy on the other hand loves to go to the parade, see all the tractors, and firetrucks, and cop cars, and other loud, not really cool things.  Then walk miles to sit in the grass and get eaten by mosquitos late at night and hope that other people do a good job blowing things up.  Needless to say, one or both would spend the rest of the year complaining to the other :)

But then I came along and Daddy thought that maybe little girls should get to decide for themselves if parades are a waste of time or not.  So, here are some pics from the Akron 4th of July Parade and I'll let the audience decide if this little girl had a good time.

Waiting with my cousins and aunt for all the candy they said I'd be getting:

And soon enough the first firetruck came along:

And provided some of that wonderful candy (Dum Dum to be exact!)

Then it was time for Grandpa and me to find the tractors:

And here they come (I believe Uncle Jesse said the final count was 57 this year.)

After all that excitement, this little girl was wiped out:

But I found the energy to give Daddy a kiss and say "thank you" for bringing me to the parade!

Mommy and I have already decided we will be coming back next year.  2 is greater than 1 and Daddy is now outnumbered.  Majority vote rules!!!
