NAP TIME

7.5.09

I actually took a nap on the boat today. I think I was worn out after my busy day yesterday. (I do wear my life jacket ALL the time - Mom & Dad let me take it off when I laid down.)

4TH OF JULY

7.4.09

We had a busy 4th even though the weather wasn't the best. First, we went to a park for lunch with the Essick side - Chloe & Bella were back too!! Then, Mom, Dad & I went for a bike ride around Lost Island - thanks for letting us try out your bike trailer Aunt Kristi & Uncle Brian!! Then, we had supper with the Harves side - Uncle Allen was home!! Finally, we went to the fireworks back at Lost Island - Mom said I didn't blink once. They put on a pretty good display there!! I fell asleep about 2 miles down the road :) (Mom was really slacken with the pictures!!)

6.24.09

I will be 2 1/2 on the 28th!!

Pictures of me being me .... I found my hat & mittens in a drawer when I was getting my PJ's on :) I had fun wearing them around!!

LET'S GO RACING!!!!

6.21.09

I got to go to the Iowa Corn Indy 250 for the 3rd year!!! Grampa Richard got us tickets again for being on the Iowa Corn Promotion board - THANKS Gramp!!!!

I am totally into engines right now!!! Check out that one - it is from a NASCAR car!

AIR SHOW

6.14.09

We went to the Flagfest air show!!!!

That is me with the Fisher cousins :)

Of course, I had to check out the beans along the runway - the stand was just OK & they have some weed pressure :)

CLABORNS

6.13.09

We met the Claborns up at the lakes for a fun filled day!!

We started off with a bike ride - that's me & McKenna

We rode bikes up to Spirit Lake & stopped at a park before turning back. The digger things were the BEST!!!!

I think Dad likes them too :)

Thanks for the push Shannon!

Hope you had a GREAT birthday weekend Jess - we sure had fun!!!

Saying goodbye.....

Maybe you should move back to IA :) How do two people from Texas & Missouri end up in MN?!?

LE CLAIRE

6.11.09

Uncle Chris, Aunt Sarah, Chloe & Bella moved again!! We went down to check it out. They are right outside the quad cities in an awesome "small" town. Since we drove all that way & they are minutes from the John Deere pavilion they took us down there for lunch. I tried to have a great time - I got sick on the ride down & the next day & the next day :( Looking forward to going back - you guys have an awesome new home!

O Farrell's

6.7.09

The Crew's invited us up for breakfast this morning. If you are at the lakes I would recommend O Farrell's!!

9 people in a corner booth :) There I am with Abby & her mom & dad.

Mom let me take a few pictures while we waited. I didn't do too bad - that ketchup bottle got in my way.

CIRCUS?????

5.31.09

The Scuffhams invited us down to the circus at Pocahontas today!! The circus was OK - but the park & playing at Parker's house was AWESOME!!!

Me at my first circus - notice my expression.

Shouldn't this guy be giving me a ride!

:) I LOVE slides!!!

Are they going to get stuck up there?

Parker had some pretty cool toys - I got to ride his 4 wheeler too!!

He even let me play with his tractors - he needs some green ones though :)

THANKS guys - I had a great time!!

WORK & PLAY

5.30.09

Started off the day pickin' rock.....

& working on my tractor :)

& after all that hard work I got to go for a boat ride this evening.

Of course I had to check out the engine - that is my new favorite thing to do!!
