Space Noodle

2011-12-28T15:51:00.000-08:00

I've been really interested in the Space Noodle (Space Needle) ever since I saw it on Thanksgiving. The day after Christmas Jo Jo, Willis, Mommy, and I went to visit the Space Needle! I was so excited to get to go up to the top. It was quite a fun adventure.

Christmas Day in Seattle

2011-12-28T15:41:00.000-08:00

On Christmas Day, we were in Seattle with Mommy's family. Here are just some of the presents with my Aunt Stacey and Uncle Dave sitting by the tree.
Here is my pile! I'm one lucky kid!

Ellie and I are so excited to open presents!

First we opened our stockings...

Then we got to the presents!

I had to change into the Mickey jammies.

I got the sleeping bag I've been wanting! When I opened it I said, "I've been looking for this!"

Ellie and I had to try out the new sleeping bag and pillow pet.

What a great Christmas! Thanks everyone for all the nice gifts!

This one was for me!

A new bike!

Mommy and put together a gingerbread train. Here is how we started.
Then we got all the materials set up and ready.

Sorry, I guess this picture was added twice.

My train!

Mostly I liked putting candy inside the train.

And inside the caboose. But we had a great time!

I'm Going to Have a Little Brother!!!!

Playing in the Snow

2011-11-19T14:52:00.001-08:00

We got a lot of snow today, so Mommy and I went out to play!

Cousins

2011-11-13T16:43:00.000-08:00

My cousins came to visit last weekend. Here I am with Ellie and Aidan. These were our silly faces.

I just love getting to spend time with my cousins! Thanks for the fun visit guys!

Trick-or-Treat

2011-10-31T18:59:00.000-07:00

I had a great time trick-or-treating (although usually I would say "trick or treat" before anyone actually answered the door!)

Halloween Party

2011-10-31T18:56:00.000-07:00

We had a Halloween party today at my baby sitters house! It was so much fun to dress up with my friends! (I'm the shark in the back row on the far right.)

Pumpkin Carving

2011-10-31T18:48:00.000-07:00

Mommy and I carver pumpkins over the weekend. I loved it and was so proud of my work!

Bowling

2011-10-22T16:26:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to go bowling for the first time.
Daddy showed me how to roll the ball.

"Go ball, go!"

I figured out how the ball return worked pretty quickly.

My first bowling score - 66. Not too bad. If you look close you can see Daddy beat Mommy, but only by 1 point!

Pumpkin Patch

2011-10-15T07:55:00.001-07:00

Jo Jo and Bill came to visit so we went to the pumpkin patch!
I was able to pick three pumpkins to take home!

I really enjoyed the toddler slide.

We explored the hay maze.

Then I had to try the big slide!

We roasted marshmellows by the fire pit.

We went in the corn maze and were lost for about an hour...but eventually found our way out!

We had a great day!

Yum... pizza!

2011-10-15T07:50:00.001-07:00

One day, I kept telling Mommy I wanted to make pizza. I meant that I wanted to play with the pretend pizza that I have at my child care, but Mommy thought it would be fun for me to make my own real pizza! I had a great time making the pizza and I really enjoyed eating it!

CW State Fair

2011-10-15T07:38:00.001-07:00

We went to the fair a few weeks ago.
I got to go on one ride (most I was too small for). You can't really see me, but you can see Daddy's red shirt and white hat - I'm next to him.

There was a kids play area that I loved. It was fun to pretend to ride a horse (I wanted nothing to do with the real horse!)

The tractor was fun to drive too.

I played in the boat for a long time.

I got to gather eggs from the chickens in the barn.

I pumped water.

I dug in the sandbox.

I even pretended to milk the cow. It was a really busy, and really fun day!

BBQ Competition

2011-09-11T14:45:00.000-07:00

There was a BBQ competition in Yakima. We didn't compete, but did go to enjoy the festivities.
Fresh apple juice!

I was thrilled when I figured out how to use the dispenser myself!

Like father, like son (don't worry, my cup contained apple juice!)

Riding the bull...

Just Me and My Daddy

2011-09-11T14:41:00.000-07:00

Sometimes Mommy and I go in the Daddy's work to have lunch with him. This time, he let me put on his helmet and walkie talkie!

Hood River

2011-09-10T14:26:00.000-07:00

Labor Day weekend we went to Hood River. I loved spending time in the pool!

I loved hanging out in the big bed!

We had a great hotel room - it was huge!

And a great balcony from the room.

I liked to take care of my own suitcase.

A shopping trip before heading home. What a fun weekend!

Backyard Camping

2011-09-03T15:31:00.000-07:00

Daddy set up the tent in the backyard so we could go camping.

I was very excited for my first camping adventure!

We had a fire pit too! And we roasted marshmellows!

Daddy and me - taking care of the fire!

First family camping trip was so much fun!

Down By the River

2011-08-26T14:13:00.000-07:00

Throwing rocks into the river is one of my favorite things to do!

Lake City Parade

2011-08-16T15:03:00.000-07:00

We were so busy on our last visit to Seattle, we did manage to get to the Lake City Parade. Willis, Jo Jo, and I are ready for the parade to start!

There go the pirates!

I love parades!

I Love Addie

2011-08-16T15:01:00.000-07:00

Addie is my Uncle Jon and Aunt Sarah's dog and I love her! In fact, I have been very interested in dogs and even cats lately...

Ferry Boat

2011-08-16T14:56:00.000-07:00

We rode on the ferry boat to get to Port Townsend.
Taking a rest on the ferry.

Hanging with my cousins Aidan and Ellie.

We went out on the deck to check out the water.

Fort Worden

2011-08-16T14:41:00.000-07:00

We went to Fort Worden on Port Towsend for a little family vacation. Here I am with Willis and yes, I am wearing a bike helmet. I insisted on wearing it all day and Aidan was nice enough to let me borrow it. :)
Here is Willis, Dave, Jo Jo and me, and Stacey and Aidan in the front.

We went on a hike and explored the bunkers which were used during the war.

Lots of stairs!

Me and Ellie

Here I am on Memory Rock.

Where we stayed.

I found this huge stick along the walk and had to use it as my "walking stick."

Remlinger Farms

2011-08-14T14:53:00.000-07:00

We went to Remlinger Farms with my Aunt Stacey and cousins, Ellie and Aidan. I didn't get too many pictures because the camera battery was running low, but we had a great time!

Ellie's Dance Recital

2011-08-14T14:51:00.000-07:00

My cousin, Ellie, performed at the Taste of Edmonds and we were able to watch her dance. She did so well! You can see her in picture, front and center. After this shot, the camera died, but at least we got one pic of the performance!

Fun in the Sand

2011-07-29T14:17:00.001-07:00

I love these sunny summer says when I can play in my sandbox!

We went to the zoo to celebrate Jo Jo's birthday. Here I am with Ellie, Aidan, and Willis playing the drums.

Can you see Ellie and me?

Ellie and I taking a little break from viewing the animals.

Wow, we had a great view of the monkeys!

The Beach

2011-07-18T13:28:00.001-07:00

I am playing in the sandbox and The Beach Cafe in Edmonds.

Mommy and I went to Seattle for a week. We helped to celebrate Jo Jo's birthday, had many playdates, and other fun adventures. Unfortunately, Mommy's camera died the second day we there so we didn't get too many pictures, but here are the ones we got!

After lunch at the Beach Cafe we walked over to the beach and Willis and I walked in the water.

Then we had lots of fun playing on the playground!

I had lots of fun on the slide (but made Jo Jo nervous)!

Then we stopped for an ice cream come.

Did I get some on my face?

My Friends, Isaac and Ruby

2011-07-08T14:21:00.000-07:00

I was able to visit my friends, Isaac and Ruby. I hadn't seen them in about a year! We picked up right where we left off, it was so fun to play! Here I am with Ruby.

Here the three of us are, busy, busy, busy!

Isaac and I really enjoyed the pool!

Ruby is so cute!

The three of us also enjoyed the baby pool.

We barley fit, but boy, was it fun! I can't wait until our next play date!

My Friend, Adam

2011-07-08T14:15:00.001-07:00

This is me with my good friend, Adam. He came over for a play date.

He loved my lawn mower!

We played with the water table.

We got pretty wet!

We had such a fun day! Can't wait for the next play date!

Don't You Just Love Summer??!!

2011-07-08T14:14:00.000-07:00

July 4th

2011-07-05T14:04:00.001-07:00

On the 4th of July we went to a fair. I played my very first fair game and won a prize!

We also had a picnic lunch on the grass.

My favorite part was going in the water which was sprayed out by a fire truck!

I didn't really want to get wet at first, but then I was really brave.

Can we go again?

I could've stayed in here all day!

This was my new pose for the day - hands on hips.

More hands on hips.

Then we went home to do some fireworks.

I had fun but I did remind Mommy and Daddy, "These are very dangerous."

Happy 4th of July!

Hotel Murano

We had a great time at the Hotel Murano. It was a fun adventure!

Daddy and I are roasting hot dogs.

Yummy dinner!

And s'mores for dessert!

Dig in!

Outside Fun

2011-06-20T14:04:00.000-07:00

Now that Mommy is out of school we have been spending a lot of time playing outside.

Notice that Elmo is never too far away!

Elmo

2011-06-12T14:05:00.001-07:00

I have been very concerned with the well being of my Elmo doll lately. I have to take him everywhere and take care of his every need.

He requires lots of diaper changes!

We rest together.

We read books together.

We even eat together.

You can see I found my other Elmo in this picture too, so now I'm very busy caring for two Elmo's!

Gym Kids Performance

2011-06-04T13:33:00.000-07:00

Every week, Mommy and I got to "Gym Kids' where we take special Mommy and Me classes. We had our final performance before taking a break for the summer. Here I am waiting "backstage" for the big performance.

Watching the other kids show off their dance.

My turn to show off my skills!

Yeah! What fun to perform! For being a fairly quiet boy, I sure loved the spotlight!

My First Fish

2011-05-30T14:41:00.001-07:00

When camping in Conconully, Daddy tried to teach me how to fish. It was my first fishing experience.

Did we get anything?

Getting the hook ready... we're going to catch something this time!

Look! I caught a fish!

I was so excited about catching my first fish. I actually caught another one later.

We did grill it up and eat it later, which sort of grossed Mommy and me out at first, but I did enjoy it.

What a fun day!

Memorial Day Weekend

2011-05-30T14:28:00.000-07:00

For Memorial Day weekend, we went to our friend's Zack and Crystal's cabin in Conconully.

I LOVED all the adventures!

Hanging out with Daddy outside the cabin.

The ladies. Chrissy, Crystal, and Erica with Murphy.

Daddy getting ready for some crazy game where he ran around the yard and did other crazy things.

More "games." Watch out for the fire - only those who were at Conconully will truly appreciate that advice...

Dinner with Mommy and Daddy.

Making S'mores by the fire with Daddy, Zack, and the other Dustin.

On the way home, we stopped in Lake Chelan for lunch and ice cream! Yum!

My 2nd Birthday!

2011-05-16T21:32:00.000-07:00

I found some presents hidden in the laundry room and couldn't resist opening them up! I got this great outdoor play set from Grammy!
Opening presents was a lot of fun!

I got distracted by my basketball hoop from Jon and Sarah. I have wanted one of these for so long and love playing with it!

One of the party activities was searching for shells for our sand buckets. I found one!

Do you see any hidden shells?

Ellie has found some!

Wow, thanks Aunt Carrie for the sit-and-spin!

As our craft project, we made picture frames to go with our surfer pictures (see a few posts below for our pictures!)

Working on our frames...

I got my special pineapple water bottle for the beach party!

I loved it when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and I got to blow out the candles on my cake. I even got to do it twice, since I turned 2!

Yummy cake!

Cousin Alena, Aunt Carrie, Grandma, and Daddy

My friend, Timmy.

Playing bubbles with Willis and Jo Jo.

Mostly, we like to use the cutout to play peek-a-boo!

Adam's turn to say "cheese."

Aidan has a nice super smile.

Timmy was a little nervous, but we managed to snap a picture of his pose!

Red Robin Birthday Dinner

2011-05-16T21:00:00.001-07:00

We went to Red Robin for my birthday dinner. I was a little nervous when they sang me that happy birthday song, but excited about it once they left. :)

My current "look" for pictures. The chin up pose.

I was quite excited for my ice cream!

Yum.

Practice Birthday

2011-05-13T22:41:00.000-07:00

As you know, my second birthday is coming up. Since Friday was the last day I would see my friends at child care before my birthday, I decided to bring birthday treats to celebrate with them!

Looks like everyone enjoyed the treats!

They even sang "Happy Birthday."

Since my birthday is a beach theme this year, Mommy decided to make "beach" cookies!

Trip to Whidbey Island

2011-05-08T16:04:00.000-07:00

Every year we go to Whidbey Island to celebrate Grammy's birthday. I loved the ferry ride!

I played basketball with Jon.

There was a great playground where I got to play on the toys!

We had a great time walking on the beach and looking for shells.

Here was our beach house! It was huge and right on the beach!

My cousins, Ellie and Aidan liked to play on the beach too!

There was a great outdoor area for relaxing. Jo Jo and Sarah were taking advantage of the outdoor space!

I loved playing outside with Jon and my cousin Paige.

Paige and I had fun playing!

More pics

2011-05-08T15:51:00.000-07:00

We tried a special drink mixed up in a pinapple. Looked like Jo Jo liked it!

Sarah too!

Even Grammy!

It was Grammy's birthday, so we helped her open presents.

We had a great outdoor space to play.

And a great indoor space for fun! Here's Jon, Sarah, and Paige making dinner.

Jo Jo and Willis gave me a new pair of sunglasses that day, so I had to wear them most of the day! :)

Look at my finished product! Don't they look great??!!

Oops, this picture made it twice. I had such a fun time!

My Uncle Jon helped too. That Easter Bunny sure hides those eggs in some tricky spots!

Easter Baskets

2011-04-27T20:33:00.000-07:00

The Easter Bunny left me a basket in Seattle...

My cousin, Ellie, helped show me how this Easter Basket stuff works!

And he left one at my house too! What a lucky guy!

Mmmm... spaghetti!

2011-04-17T13:43:00.000-07:00

Spaghetti is one of my favorite foods!

As you can see, it is quite messy.

No surprise that the night ended with a bath, to get all cleaned up!!

Hawaii Beach!

2011-04-06T20:34:00.000-07:00

Luau

2011-04-06T20:28:00.001-07:00

A sea turtle!

The luau was great - very fun to watch!

Especially the fire dance!

We arrived!

And finally made it to the condo!

Here we go... they let me sit in this cool jeep and I had a box of toys to play with!

Look at my spiky hair! I guess it was time for a cut!

Here we go....

I actually did very well during the hair cut. Didn't cry or fuss at all even when she buzzed my neck. I loved sitting in the jeep and playing with the toys.

Here is the new short do.

And here it is all fancy! How do I look???

Parker at the Park

2011-03-20T13:52:00.000-07:00

A little upside tickling is always fun!

What a fun day! Don't I look like such a big boy now???

Let's Zumba!

2011-03-10T21:37:00.001-08:00

For Mama's birthday, she got a Zumba fitness game to go with the Play Station move. I saw her try it, so I wanted to give it a try too.

You have to use this great controller and lap belt.

And you follow the moves of the instructor on the t.v.

Watch out, I'm getting pretty good!

Batman Coat

2011-02-20T14:49:00.000-08:00

Mommy and I were in my room and she turned her back for a second to put my laundry away. When she turned around this is what she saw! I had climbed all the way up on my little reading chair to look out the window! Pretty clever!

What??

Silly Guy

2011-02-20T14:46:00.000-08:00

In my closet, I have two big bins of shoes from my cousin Aidan. They are mostly too big, but I like to try them on anyway. I sometimes insist on wearing them to bed also! mommy couldn't resist getting a picture! What a silly guy!

Daddy has been out of town so Mommy and I decided to take a trip to Seattle. We went to Nordstrom where I got to try one of those fun car strollers. Then we met up with my cousins, Ellie and Aidan for lunch. What a fun trip!

I enjoyed playing outside with Bill and Ernie!

Play Date

My friend, Brayden came over the other night for a playdate. We had a great time and Mommy was impressed with how well I shared my toys! :)

Jo Jo and Bill Visit

2011-01-24T21:33:00.000-08:00

Jo Jo and Bill came from Seattle to visit us over the weekend. We had a great time and had lots of fun playing, going out to eat, drinking lattes (okay, so mine was actually milk)! We miss them already and hope to see them again soon!

White Pass

2011-01-09T15:49:00.001-08:00

On Saturday, we went with Daddy to White Pass so he could go snowboarding. Mommy and I got to hang out in the lodge where it was warm! :)

I really liked playing in the snow!

My favorite thing to do in the lodge was look outside at all the snowboarders and skiers!

Family shot, brrrr... it was cold!

What a fun time!

Daddy took my on my first snowboard ride! I enjoyed it!

Happy New Year!

On New year's Eve we decided to have people over at our house to celebrate.

Daddy was all dressed up.

My favorite game was to put my hat over my head and run around the room!

So much fun!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Christmas Day

2010-12-27T21:33:00.001-08:00

On Christmas Day, we go to my Mommy's family's house in Seattle. Here I am opening gifts with Jo-Jo. There were so many gifts we could hardly all fit in the room!

Here is Uncle Jon, Aunt Sarah, Doggie Addie, my Cousin Aidan, Daddy, and Willis in between gift opening rounds.

Here is my cousin Aidan (with my Aunt Stacey in the background) showing off his new hat.

Here I am with my new Thomas the Train suitcase. Grammy is sitting behind me.

Here I am with my Aunt Stacey and cousin Ellie playing on of the new games she got for Christmas. What a fun day!

Christmas Morning

2010-12-27T21:27:00.001-08:00

This year, we opened our gifts and stockings from Santa at our house before heading over the pass to Seattle. I was so busy opening and enjoying my gifts, I didn't have time to look at the camera!

Enjoying all the goodies in my stocking!

Christmas Eve

2010-12-27T21:17:00.000-08:00

On Christmas Eve, we always go the Tri-Cities to spend the day with my Daddy's side of the family. Here I am opening my first gift of the Christmas Season!

Daddy and me, playing with my presents...

I got a tricycle from my Grandma and Grandpa!

I love it!

Here I am with my Aunt Stacey and my Grandma. What a fun day we had!

This Year - I'm Ready!

2010-12-09T20:42:00.000-08:00

So, there was a present under the tree and even though it wasn't for me and it wasn't Christmas, I thought I should get in some practice and open it up! I think I'm going to be ready to open more gifts on Christmas this year!

These pictures are a little late getting posted, but we had a great time on Thanksgiving spending time with family in Seattle.

I think my cousin Aidan is pretty great. I like to copy everything he does, so he started banging on the wall, I thought I should too!

We love Jon and Sarah's little dog, Addie. She so sweet and great with kids!

SNOW!!!

2010-11-23T21:54:00.000-08:00

Playing in the snow for the first time! It snowed last year, but since I was a baby, I didn't really get to play in it!

What's Daddy Doing?

2010-11-23T21:49:00.000-08:00

Daddy was out on the deck sweeping off the snow and he left the door open just a little. Mommy thought it was funny the way I was trying to peek out the crack in the door to see what Daddy was doing and had to snap a few photos to share!

Happy 18 Months!

2010-11-18T20:12:00.000-08:00

My 18 month birthday was actually Monday, but since I haven't been feeling too good, we didn't take the picure until today. Here are my 18 month stats: weight 26 lbs 2 oz, height 33 inches. Still not feeling 100% better after getting croup last week, but I'm getting there!

Happy Halloween!

A family photo, before starting our trick-or-treating adventure!

Such a cute little shark!

My first experience trick-or-treating. I loved walking around ringing people's doorbells, I was always a little startled when they answered and could really care less about the candy.

I loved walking around the neighborhood so much, I didn't want to go home!

What a fun night!

Halloween Party

At school, we celebrated Halloween a few days eary. Here we are enjoying our Halloween treat.

Here's the whole gang all dressed up! You can see me in my shark costume on the left in the back row. What a cute bunch of kids!

Friends!

Here I am with my friend, Adam who dressed up as a builder!

I Heart Joyce!

2010-10-28T19:48:00.000-07:00

Joyce came to visit us last weekend. It was so fun to see her and I love the little gifts she brought me! Thanks! We miss you already!

Boots!

2010-10-27T19:32:00.000-07:00

I found Daddy's boots and decided to try them on. Can you tell I'd been busy?

I couldn't quite figure out how to walk in them, so I decided to just start dragging them around.

Silly boy!
