2010 Balloon Festival

I LOVE balloons! I LOVE saying "bloons"! Last year mommy took daddy in a hot air balloon when I was only 5 months old for his 30th birthday. They have so many pictures that I can look at when I get older. This past weekend was the Balloon Festival in Lincoln (where my mommy grew up) so mom and dad decided they would take me to go see all of the balloons that were up in the sky. When we were on our way and still about 5 miles away, I noticed them in the sky and made sure that mommy and daddy saw them too! There were soooo many and I was soooo excited. Mommy took us on the back roads to get us closer for me to see (dad thought we were going to get lost) but it was a ton of fun! I can't wait until next year when I can go ride in one!!

My First Yankees Hat is getting too small :(

I was being silly running around the house last week and mommy decided to get some shots of me in my Yankees Hat. I was running a fever and didn't feel very well but I managed to get just enough energy to smile for the camera...does that surprise you???

My friend Kingston

My mom & dad have friends Tony & Andrea and they have a son that is 5 months younger than me. They recently came home to visit and Kingston and I got to hang out. Oh, and for some reason mom thought it would be cool to have us take a bath together (ask my daddy what he said on the video recording, it's REALLY funny!). So, in a couple weeks I get to see Kingston again because we are taking a trip to Oregon, that's where mommy is from. I can't wait to show off pictures from that trip.

Race Day 2010

So Daddy is in a running club and they are nice enough to let us kids come & run too. I went on the hottest day of the summer to run 50 meters. What were Mommy & Daddy thinking? Did they really think I was going to actually RUN? Well, I finally made it to the finish line to get my trophy and eat some watermelon but I needed help along the way. I came in last place but the way I think of it is "The one's that came in before me just got hotter than me". So, all in all, I think I played it pretty smart!

Watering the Flowers

The other night it was really hot outside so the flowers needed a drink. Daddy let me get out the hose and give them a drink all by myself! I had so much fun!

Mommy took my toy apart!

This used to be one of the only things that I liked to do. I would jump and jump and jump! The thing is that I haven't used it in a long time. Mommy & Daddy kept it in my room though and had not put it away UNTIL last week! Mommy took the legs off and now all that is left are the farm animals. I wanted to sit in the seat but I guess it doesn't work too well when it doesn't have the legs.

Daddy's Work Hat

This is Daddy's work hat, he got it from the senior wrestlers this year. He uses hit hat when he does work in the yard and when he is outside coaching football. I think he looks kind of silly but he says it keeps him cool when he "devil is out to play", not sure what that means yet but daddy said I will learn as I get older. He told me we will have lots of talks to learn what things mean as I get older. I sure can't wait but I thought I was older NOW!
