Bottoms Up!

I'm not sure why I thought this was so funny, but it was!

Apple Pickin'

We went apple picking with my buddies Trey, Gavin, and Mason. Who cares about the apples - you should'da seen the huge playland! Oh man, they had pedal cars, tractor rides, mazes, and all sorts of fun stuff! It was soooo hot though (thus my rosey red cheeks) - it was 91 degrees - Mumma says that we set a new record for high tempurature today. Mumma gave me some apple cider to try, but I'm not so sure about that stuff. I think I will just stick to my water and milk!

St Joe County Fair

This baby pig is less than one day old! I got to pet him, he was soft.



I went to the St Joseph County Fair with Mumma, Dadda, Grammy, Grandmpa, and Great Grandma Jean. We saw the usual fair stuff like animals, carnies, food, rides, games and tractors. Yeah, I have to say, when it comes to tractors, I'm all talk. I could have gone for a REAL tractor ride with farmer Denny, but I chickened out. My favorite thing at the fair were the pigs! I laughed and laughed and laughed when they squealed. My second favorite thing to do was to play the duck game! But really who cares about the ducks, I just wanted to splash around in the water.

My First Boo Boo

Well, it took nearly 2 years but today was the first time Mumma saw blood coming from me! I was pushing my lawn mower through the puddle out front (as I always do) and bit the dust.... right on my knees. I don't know what the big deal was, I didn't even cry or anything. So Mumma fixed me up with a Star Belled Sneetch band aid and I was right back out in the puddle!

My First Poo-Poo on the Potty

I did it!!! And I did it just like Dadda!! I just don't understand what is the big deal with this potty thing.... I'm perfectly happy having Mumma (or Dadda) wipe my butt for me! :)

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.
