Daddy's big project and my first swim of the summer

Here is Daddy's big project over the last few weekends. It all looks awesome dad. I had an especially good time playing with all your tools that you had out. Now that they are all cleaned up, the back yard won't be as much fun. Now you can start on making me a big swing set for my Birthday.








My first time to the neighborhood pool this summer was a lot of fun.


I demanded mom take me both days over the weekend.


I went to visit Great Grandma Annie for Memorial Day. I was not much for giving out hugs that day as you can tell.


I had to show off my new Superman pajamas.


And of course you have to see my cape.


Here I am at Bryce's graduation and all I wanted to do was ride Uncle Matt's tractor. Little did mom know I was running a 103.5 fever.

Growing up so fast

My new favorite thing to do is say "Ta Da" and hold my hands up. Mommy really freaks out when I stand up in my high chair and say that.


Here I am helping mom water. I prefer to pur it on my shoes and not the flowers and shrubs.


Here I am cheesing in my new "big brother" shirt.


Here I am at my new favorite place....Lowes....so I can drive the John Deere tractors.


Here I am showing my good manners.


Here I am jabbering. Not exactly sure what I am trying to say, but certainly having a good time sliding.

Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's day weekend was a lot of fun. We went to St. Joseph to visit all of mommy's side of the family. Here is mommy's cousin Julie with the newest edition to the Fankhauser clan. Meet Lexie. She is such acutie......and by the way, she won't be the newest member for long....that's right, I am going to be a BIG BROTHER. Mommy got the best Mother's Day present by finding out she has a baby in her tummy, whatever that means.


Here we all are trying to pose for a picture of many of the 2nd cousins. I did not want to sit still for this one.


Here I am riding on a swing with Kathryn. It was my first time to hang out with Kathryn. She flew in all the way from Maryland.


In this picture I am attempting to drive the 4 Wheeler with Konner...another second cousin I guess.


Here I am swinging with the Birthday girl, Karoline.


Sliding was so much fun I had to do it with my eyes closed. I was so lucky because Karoline decided she was too big for this slide and let me take it home with me. What a treat.


Here I am petting Belle. She was such a sweet doggie.


Day one of the trip was spent at the Savannah park with mommy, meemaw, and aunt Sherrill. I had so much fun.


I had never gotten to ride a merry-go-round like this one before.


Meemaw was a pretty good teeter-totterer. She made me giggle every time.


I didn't last too long on the rocking motorcycle.


Once again, slides were a highlight too.


Here I am trying to tackle a pudding cup on my own. I only missed the mark a few times.

Easter

With money I received from my aunt Sherrill I bought a wal-mart cart with tons of groceries.


My cart goes perfect with my kitchen that the Easter bunny brought for me.



Easter morning was a little overwhelming, but I did find time to play with my kitchen and find all my eggs.


Daddy, Gage and Blane had so much fun dying Easter eggs. I didn't care for it much. I tried to eat the tablet of dye and mommy freaked out so I had to be moved to the highchair to have ice cream instead.


Here I am at my first trip to Jump Mania. I had a great time going on all the slides!


I loved the little kids area, but.....


the big kids slides were my favorite part. Good thing mommy had uncle Travis, aunt Stephanie, Gage and Blane to help corral me the whole time.


Jump Mania will definitely have to be a frequent place that I visit. Gage and Blane want to go back too.


Here I am learning the ropes to "Egg Hunting" from my cousins Gage and Blane.


Gage just told me to grab as many as I could get my hands on.


I got to swing at the playground while I waited for the hunt to start. I didn't understand why I could not start picking up the eggs right away. That is what I do at home.



Here I am with Meemaw trying to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar and picking out an egg to decorate with my name.


Here I am with Meemaw heading to the Easter Egg hunt in her neighborhood.

Boston Continued

Day 2 in Boston started out at the New England Aquarium and Imax Theater. It was the first Imax movie for Steve and I and we really enjoyed it.

The aquarium was really neat and of course the nerdiness in Steve ate it all up.


Here Steve is with his favorite....the sea turtles.


This is Fanieul Hall where we shopped and ate lunch.


This is Boston Harbor.


Here is the skyline of North Boston. We had dinner down there both nights...once a wonderful seafood restarant in Cambridge close to Harvard and the other night a quaint little Italian restaurant. Both were wonderful.


We took a tour of the Samuel Adam's Brewery.


Here are the big containers that brew the beer. Steve informed me that the big metal containers are made in Springfield.


Here was the best part of the tour....the free beer at the end:)


We took a tour of Fenway Park.
