CO - DAY 1 CORN

8.19.09

Mom & I dropped Dad off at the Pioneer research plot. I had to check out the corn!!!

If you look closely you can see the mountains in the distance. Wouldn't that be cool to have the mountains that close back home :)

CO - HERE WE COME!!!

8.18.09

We are off!! Headed to CO for a couple of days - Dad has to go to a research plot near Loveland. Since he will be sooo close to the mountains my folks thought we better go for a few days :)

It only took 11 hours to get out there!! They kept saying we were going to see the mountains - I started asking "Is that a mountain?" at Gillett Grove :)


Since Mom & Dad said I did so well on the drive we got to go to Chucky Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!

My first Chucky experience was awesome!!!

AQUATIC CENTER

8.9.09

The Claborn's came down for the weekend!!! Dad & Shannon went to help a friend at a gun show - so we got to go to the Aquatic Center in Spencer for the day instead. It was AWESOME!!! What a perfect day for a swim :)

My buddy McKenna :)

I LOVED this thing!!

Looking forward to going back!!

We jumped in the tub when we got home - that girl has some crazy hair!!!

Mom's cousin came up from AZ to visit for a few days.

NIGHT OUT

7.21.09


Dad is down in Ames for the week because of this masters program. So Mom & I took the Fishers up on there offer to go see a movie with them - wish you could have been there too Dad.

The 1st movie I got to see in a theater was UP. It was pretty cool!!! & I made it through most of it :)

I had to stretch my legs after sitting so long - so Mom & I went to Oneota & I ran across the bridge a thousand times. It was an awesome evening!!


You can even see the water go under the bridge through the cracks :)

The perfect end to my night out - we stopped at Dairy Queen!! Fishers met us after the movie. Mom says the best way to contain 5 children is to stick them in the back of a truck!! Check out my dance moves :)

SIOUX FALLS ZOO

7.15.09

Mom & Jes were talking yesterday - & since Mom didn't have anyone lined up to watch me today - we got to go to the ZOO!!!

Let's GO!!!

I did not walk around the zoo - I RAN!

We got to ride on a train....

& a carousel!!

Fed the goats...

I tried to give McKenna a ride :)

Lookin at the giraffe....


Thanks for meeting us at the zoo - we had a GREAT time!!!! Hope to see ya soon :)

FAT CATERPILLAR

7.13.09

Mom found a caterpillar at Gramp Ervin's today - so she kept it in a coffee container for me to see. As soon as I saw him I started calling him "Fat Caterpillar." Many of you have probably read The Very Hungry Caterpillar - one of my favorite books!!

I took him everywhere - we went to the garden to get him some fresh leaves to eat.

I gave him some lettuce, bean & tomato leaves - & a stick!

There he is in his happy new home :)

(Fat Caterpillar slept on my dresser that night. In the morning I said "Wake up Fat Caterpillar!!" & I also read him Goodnight Moon - I showed him the pictures, that is the best part.)

I will keep you posted as to when he turns into a butterfly!!! Mom says he will probably be a hawk moth - that sounds cool too :)

BULLY BULLHEAD PARADE

7.11.09

I went to my first parade today!! I saw all sorts of cool stuff - fire trucks, horses....

That is me with Emily. The Schany girls met us there - Rachel stayed home to take a nap though :(

I did figure out the whole candy thing - I got a pretty good bag full too :)
