Last Days of Summer

Daddy told me that we need to tell everyone who reads the blog that we are sorry. We are sorry for not writing for a while. Daddy says to tell you that for a couple of weeks, he was really busy at work and then he and mommy went on a big vacation. I will tell you more about that later. But for now, I want to tell you about the end of my summer.

The week after Labor Day, Mommy, Daddy, Auntie Rachel, and Lena Grace went to stay with MiMi and Papa for a couple of days at their vacation house in Branson. It was really neat because it had this really pretty pool with a waterfall. So we played in the pool every day. I played with a ball that I found and threw it at everyone, even people who aren't in my family.

Daddy spent some time holding Lena, but she just stuck her tongue out.

My little sister is so pretty.

I spent a lot of time "swimming." I call it swimming when I lay on my stomach and act like I am swimming.
I like holding MiMi's hand. She is lots of fun.
Bye-bye summer. It is time for my favorite season. FALL! I can't wait to play in the leaves, celebrate Halloween, and eat Turkey for Thanksgiving. Yeah!

Doll and Granddad are 40

During the same weekend as my birthday, Doll and Granddad turned 40 -- together. They have been married for 40 years. Aunt T and Mommy threw a party for them and invited a whole bunch of their friends. I got to go to the first half hour of the party. It was at a really neat restaurant by the river and I kept running in and out of the back door so that I could try to find rocks or play hide and go seek with myself. Lucky for me, my Uncle Phil was there too, and he got to join me in my adventure. While I was playing, Nanny and Bird were taking turns holding Sissie.

Here is a family picture from the party:

Doll and Nanny look pretty in pink. And Sissie looks really happy with Nanny.

Sissie looks even happier with Great-Granddad.

Here is a good picture of me and Uncle Phil. I am telling him a story about the river.
Mommy and Aunt T got lots and lots of balloons for the party. And I thought that one of the balloons needed a hug.
Bird had this really cool hat, but she wouldn't let me touch it. She said something about that it was the hat that she wore to Doll and Granddad's wedding, whatever that is. Anyway, the hat is really pink and she carries it around in a big hatbox. Here is a picture of Bird wearing her pinkk hat.

More Birthday Stuff

I promised pictures of my weekend birthday bash, so here they are.

Here is a picture of me and mommy with the yummy birthday breakfast she made for me. I had pumpkin rolls (like cinnamon rolls) and yummy grapes and apples and scrambled eggs!!!

Here is Sissie in the cat-bird's seat during breakfast. Doesn't she look happy?

I was a little scared of the candles at first and I didn't know what to do. But everyone helped me blow them out. Mommy made me fun Elmo cupcakes, complete with marshmallows and m & m eyes.

Sissie tried to eat some of my cupcake (not really), but I wouldn't share with her. I am glad that Sissie and Doll were at my birthday.

For one day only, I am the king of the house....

Thanks for looking at my birthday pictures.
