Tractor Ride x 2

A Little Lions Fan

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Now I don't want to ginks anything, but so far the Lions are 2-0! Mumma and I watch football games together on Sundays. I got a little excited and spilled my water all over my sweatshirt when last weeks game went to overtime...

Dadda Went to West Virginia...

...and all I got was this tshirt!

It's Tumbling, NOT Gymnastics....

Well, whatever you call it, it's FUN! Mumma takes me once a week to Kids Gym. Dadda says it's not a gymnastics class, but tumbling. I get to walk on balance beams, hang from rings, jump on trampolines, roll down mats, and jump into a sponge (aka "germ pit" Mumma says). We have circle time when we sing songs and play with a parachute. Then at the end of each class we get stamps on our hands and feet - I think that's the best part!!!

Yeah, I know it doesn't LOOK like I'm having fun, but it's a blast!
"the Germ Pit"
....steady now....

Me and Billy working on our "fine motor skills"....whatever.... we just like playing with the squishy balls and clothes pins!

Stamp time! That's my teacher, Miss Nicole

Look out Michael Jordan

Not sure who this Michael Jordan dude is, but Mumma says all I need to be the next Michael Jordan is to stick out my tongue when I dunk the basketball (well... and also to grow a whole bunch taller!). I think it's about time for the bball hoop to go up to the next notch.

Car Ride!

Dadda totally rocks! He (and Steve - Masons Dadda) took me and Mason on a car ride with no car seats! Not even any seatbelts for that matter! I don't think Mumma was very happy about it, but she still took a few pictures of us... When we got done Mason and I had dinner at my picnic table.

The End of Summer

....says who!? Okay, so the water was a bit, well, let's say, refreshing, but I still went swimming! Uncle Ben took me in the lake clothes and all (me and him)! Have you ever tried swimming with a loaded diaper? Lemme tell ya, it ain't easy!

there ain't no more room in these Huggies!
Me and Dadda splashing Higgins

I got to see lots of jet skis (my favorite), pontoons, ski boats, fishin boats, kayaks, sail boats, well and pretty much any other kinda boats over Labor Day weekend at the lake. I have so much fun at the lake, I don't know what I'm gonna do when it starts to get cold outside and I can't go swimming anymore.

My Size of Park

Aahhh, I finally found a park just my size! There is a playground built just for little guys at a school by my house. Plus it's all fenced in, so Mumma doesn't follow me all over the place. They have slides, climbing walls, a wiggle board, swings, and best of all..... a HUGE sandbox!!!! I totally hit the jackpot with this place.

Me and Gavin "at the wheel"

Chuck E Cheese

....whatta GREAT place!!! Dude, there are so many fun things to do like play games, watch a choo choo train, rides, a talking mouse and tons of other fun stuff here! I went there on a rainy day with my friend Trey. Mumma and me even got our picture taken together!

To be honest, I think Mumma had more fun though.... there is skee ball, the Grand Prize Game (from the Bozo Show...what's that!?), and a ducky game. Mumma said that we are totally going back.... SWEET!!!

Water, Water, Water....

Back.....

.....and fourth....

Everytime it rains (which really hasn't been all that much this Summer, until last weekend) there is a huge puddle that is right outside my house. I think it's so much fun to run through the puddle! I could do this for hours!!! Mumma isn't crazy about me running through the puddle, but give it up... I'm a boy and that's what we do!

La Z "Boy"

Dadda bought me this totally kewl chair - it's just my size. As my Grandpa and Uncle Ben say, I can "kick it into gear" and just chill with my water and remote (of course).

My New Cousin

This is my brand new cousin Jack Eric Tomlinson. He decided to make his debut appearance about a month early - but is doing great. My cousin Kate must be so excited that she is a big sister now! I can't wait until he's big enough for us to go do boy stuff together.

Sour Grapes!

The vineyards are loaded with grapes this year! I'm told that they like hot and dry weather, and boy o boy, have we had that this year! ...I will say at this point though... they're still pretty sour!

Kalamazoo County Fair

We went to the fair with Mason and his Mumma & Dadda - we got to see horses, piggies, chickens and ducks, llamas, cows, goats, bunnies, tractors, diggers, big trucks, fire trucks.... and.... and.... and... I must say that the highlight of the trip was pushing my stroller all over the place. ...who cares about tractors, I can see those anytime at home on the internet! :)

I go pet a bunny rabbit - he was so soft!

.... go figure, Mason eating.... :)

Funny Baseball Game

My Mummas friend Leanne came to visit us and she brought me a really kewl tshirt with a shark on it and this game that's kinda like baseball, but different. It's called Cricket. Now at first I thought they were just trying to confuse me, because a cricket is a bug, but then I remembered that it really is a game that is played in Europe.... I learned that from Grover on Seasame Street.

Mumma had trouble with the game, cuz she couldn't get over her (fabulous) golf swing. :)

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that Leanne talks really funny; Mumma says that's because she's from Australia. That's way far away from my house.

Sleep Over!!

I got to have my very first sleep over with my best friend Mason. I told Mumma that we had so much fun together; we went to the park, for a stroller ride, had pizza, watched Cars (the movie), read books..... whew... it was a busy day! It sure was fun staying with Mason and it was really nice of his Mumma and Dadda to watch me.

My New Picnic Table

It's just my size!
