You’re Never Too Young or Old for a KISS!

Aunt Robyn and Uncle Pete surprised me last week with new soccer shoes. They are red with white stripes and the perfect size. Don’t they look awesome?

I think they give me special powers too. I mean look at this high-kick…I’m sure I won’t be able to do that forever!

Uhm, I love you Auntie Robyn, but I think you need to leave the soccer to me and Uncle Pete!!!

Yes, I am standing next to Chuck E. Cheese and yes I know what you’re all thinking, but seriously…it’s so much fun there!!!

Maddie and I even had a car race…sort of. (P.S. The funny thing that this picture does not tell…is that Mama was actually crazy enough to put 2 tokens into these machines…not fully comprehending the fact that our cars were just going to sit idle because neither Maddie nor I could reach the gas pedals! Duh! Mama!)

Katie was apparently in the midst of the same line of thinking when she strapped all of us onto this chair for a simulated roller coaster ride—thank goodness we all loved the ride!

This is Hayden and Nolan not smiling…and not climbing on the giant SCOOP replica!

Allright…who snuck in my room when I was sleeping??? Seriously…is nothing private anymore?

After waiting a few really long days…I finally got to wear my new soccer shoes.

In fact, while standing around the water cooler a few of my buddies asked where I got my new shoes. They were clearly jealous.

And who said you don’t need arms and hands for soccer?

AND maybe a little personality too!

After WEEKS of endless begging…Mama finally painted my face like Paul. Check out my new dance moves:

The cool thing is you can watch me dance in slow or fast motion…just move your mouse up and down!

I think I still need to work on my pucker. Maybe I’ll practice by blowing Aunt Tammy (and Grandma Kathy) some birthday kisses! I hope you all had a great week. Thanks for stopping by. We’ll see you next week.

Happy 4th of July – Part II!

Papa and I have been lighting sparklers and snap-its off and on all week.

pic 1
Papa was showing me how important it is to keep it away from my body…

pic 1
and I think in general I did a great job!

I have finally decided that it’s okay to get sand on me!

This past week I also started my outdoor swim lessons—and boy was it chilly! We didn’t even hit 70 until Friday! Mama swears it’s not going to be that cold next week, but I’m not sure!

Now you see me…

pic 1
now you don’t!

In an effort to get us used to the frigid water our coach made us do 10 jellyfish bobs. I think it worked!

pic 1
But then it was freezing cold when we got out of the pool! Brrr!

CANON BALL!

We also got to see a big fireworks show in nearby Cross Plains. They have a big show for such a small town (less than 4000) people. I can’t wait!

pic 1
Still waiting!!!

I even brought my headphones just in case…

WOW! It was worth the wait! I hope everyone had a poppin’ good 4th of July. Mine sure was a blast! Thank you for stopping by and we’ll see you next week!
