Cousin Lydia

Brittany had her baby today! Her name is Lydia Rose. She sure is a cutie!!

Here is Lydia's mommy, Brittany.

I couldn't go into the hospital room because I was under 14 years old, so Justin brought Lydia to me and I looked at her through the window. I kept saying, "Hair. Bow. Hair."

I went to Grandma's and took a nap. Later in the day I went back to the hospital. I snuck in. Shh! Don't tell anyone. I said I was Lydia's brother. I just had to see her! That is all I talked about all day!

Oh Lydia, your bow fell out. Let me help you put it back in.

Mary and Kristin

My mom's cousin Mary came to visit. She brought her friend Kristin with her. I was so excited to have them at my house. I showed them my drums. Kristin was teaching me how to make the "Rock Out" sign.

Then we played with Elmo. We are doing "Wheels on the Bus."

Now we are doing the "Chicken Dance." Good thing Mom got all this on camera. I had so much fun! Come again Mary and Kristin!

Drums

I got a package in the mail today. It was a drum set for my birthday from Matthew and Lisa. I really like it! Anything to make noise is great. (Mom is thinking of ways to get even.)

Birthday Breakfast!

Since Mimi and Grandpa Steve couldn't see me on my birthday, they took me to breakfast this morning. I am going to try to keep this birthday thing going all month!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was my 2nd birthday! I was staying over at Grandma's house (I love waking up at Grandma's!) Mom made me a number two pancake. Yum! Yum!

Next, I wanted Hollie to give me a bath. Hollie lets me drink the bath water, Mom doesn't. Hollie says that since she drinks toilet water, bath water shouldn't be all that bad.

Tractor time. I am starting to pull the brim down on my hat. I starting a new style. Soon, farmers all over will be doing the same.

Usually at Grandma's we have to shovel snow. Well, this time there was no snow to shovel, so I put some on the sidewalk so I could shovel it.

Then I made Grandma get a shovel. Since there wasn't any snow for Grandma to shovel, I put some snow on hers.

Putting snow on things is fun, so I put some on Hollie. Then I would brush it off and put more on and brush it off again.

Grandma's shoes needed some snow. I think people appreciate having me around to take care of things like this.

I made a seat in the snow.

Later that night, I met up with my aunts and uncles and had ice cream at McDonalds.

This slide is not as scary as the one I went on with Mom and Grandma (but Dad is not as brave, so we have to take it easy.)

Dad jumped up here to take a picture of me in the tunnel.

Here I am in the tunnel. Aunt Jillian is also in tunnel. She wanted me to go with her. (I know it is sideways, but I didn't notice it until all the pictures were loaded on the blog and I didn't want to fix it.)

Aunt Jillian got stuck, so I went and helped her.

And that was my birthday! What a fun day! Happy birthday to me!

Bouncing Off The Walls!!

Tomorrow is my birthday! It has been a month-long celebration. Since it is going to snow tomorrow, Grandma came today to be with me for my birthday. Well, I had a FUN day planned! I found this place on the internet called Bouncing Off The Walls. It has huge blow up bouncing things; slides, basketball courts, jump houses, and mazes. I had never been there, but it looked fun, so I thought I would give it a try.

What a great time I had!! Here are some pictures!

Mom had taken me down the big slide a few times, but I wanted to go with Grandma. Here she is saying, "What?!! You want me to climb all the way up there?! Don't you know I am scared of heights? Boy... I must love you!"


Here Grandma is hanging on. I think at this point she turned and looked down. I thought I was going to have to carry her up the rest of the way. :)


Whoa!!!! We made it! Lets do it again Grandma!!

One part of the maze had a giant wall. Once you climbed over it, you could slide down. Since I am just a little guy, Grandma helped me out.

Wee Mom!!!

I think Mom and Grandma are sore from all the jumping, climbing, and crawling. I know they had fun though, because they giggled the whole time. Thanks for taking me!

Hurry!

My Aunt Brittany is having a baby. Mom says we have to wait, wait, wait. Papa has named it Baby Jeffica because Aunt Brittany won't tell what the name is. (Brittany has told me it is going to be named Nathanica.)

Baby Jeffica!! Will you get here already! I am tired of waiting! Come on my birthday, that would be a fun present! Oh wait! Don't come on my birthday, that way we will have to celebrate twice, which means more cake!

Pie

Mom made her first pie! Boy it was yummy. I think that she had tons of fun too!

Painting

I love painting! Grandma got me a paint set. Do you like my pictures?

Dad in Seattle

Dad went on a business trip to Seattle. He flew in a plane. . . in the sky (that is what I tell everyone.) While he was there he got to ride on a boat.... in the wha-wha.

Rowley Birthday Party

We had a birthday party for me while I was at Grandma's. As soon as my aunts and uncles brought in my present, I had to open it. There was no waiting!

Good thing I didn't wait because there was an ELMO in it!!!! It sings and plays tons of songs! I can't get enough of it. I just wanted to dance to the same song over and over. Thanks guys!

We played games at my party. One of my favorite games is "Ring Around the Rosie." Hollie liked being in the middle.

I didn't have time to make a fancy Elmo cake this time, but this chocolate one tasted good too. I even got to blow out the candles twice because I am two, so they needed to be lit twice.
