Trip to Grand Rapids

Hi Jan and to all my blogging fans out there!

Congrats to Rylan on his baptism!

Last week Mom and I met the Grandparents at the General Store. The toy section was my favorite...so many toys to play with. Good luck getting me out of here without a tantrum!

Last weekend we drove up to Grand Rapids to visit our friends. They live on a golf course.


Caution! Naked toddler on Par 5.

They also had a riding lawn mower...I gave Addison a ride.



Addison was always trying to give me hugs and kisses. I wanted no part of it.

That's all for now! Till next time...

4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

Sometimes I just like to hang out on my picnic table and read books!

Eating Mom's peas from the garden...MMMmmm!!

A REAL tractor ride with Grandpa Guyer!

I just can't get enough of trucks and tractors. Here I am at Maple Grove Days checking out the big trucks!

Always wear a hard hat with big machinery.
Maybe someday I'll be a mailman!?

Wait for me!

We also went to the petting zoo. This goat really liked me!

Mom tries to teach me about handwashing. Heck, I just like to play with the water!

Finally, me just being ME!

My latest adventure...I went to Lake Calhoun last weekend and had fun with by buddy Harlan.

I'm still a little nervous around water, but I had a good time with the sand!

Mom and I like to play with bubbles! I can now say "Mom," "Car," & "Clock," "Dog" Everyday it seems I'm learning new words!

Me at the Grandparents house. A lava lamp with fish. This caught my curiousity!


I fell asleep on the swing. G-ma and G-pa Hall always wear me out!

Helping G-ma out in the garden! I wanted to check out this plastic weed barrier. It made a funny noise everytime I walked on it.

A REAL FIRETRUCK! Wow! I love trucks!

It looks just like the one I have at home

I even got to sit in it! Ready for a ride...

We recently went to the St. Paul farmers Market. So much stuff to see. Uncle Doug thought this babysitting thing was easy...so I think he should babysit sometime :>

I love the singing and dancing group "High 5" Sometimes I like to dance along with them

First words...Tractor?

Hello everyone! I have been very busy lately, but every once and awhile I slow down to rest with my sippy and blanket.

I'm really got the hang of these stairs.



Me playing outside!


Me eating Blackberries!


Ok, so my new favorite thing are trucks and tractors. I have a book with pictures of them and I make Mom & Dad read it to me SEVERAL times a day! Eventually, I started saying the word, "tractor." If I see a real tractor or truck outside I get very excited!

It's raining and Mom is trying to get me to go outside?? What a mean joke.

Happy Memorial Day! I spent the day with Mom and Dad at my buddy, Harlan's house. I got to eat Cheetos, they are the best!

Mom bought me some magnets to put on the fridge, but I just like to throw them on the floor...

My own picnic table!

This basketball thing is easy!

I went to the Guyer Farm on Saturday.

At the farm, there are large, open spaces for me to run and play!

Doing a little spring cleaning

Got to see the Halls on Mother's Day.

Having a bad hair day? Me too! Mom got out the clippers and decided I needed a hair cut!

My latest development...I don't cry when I get dropped off at daycare anymore. Mom and Dad are much happier about that.

I like pulling Chase's tail.

Going for a car ride! Take me somewhere fun!

I went to Ridgedale Mall and got to play on the inside play area!


Put the money in and lets go for a ride!

I like it when Mom & Dad take me to the Park near our house. I'm still pretty nervous about the big stuff, but love the swing. Sometimes I just like to watch the other kids play too.

Mom let me play with water outside on the deck a couple of weeks ago when the weather was real nice. I loved moving the bathtub outside. What a great idea!

Reading time!

Grandma takes me for a ride in the hamper

Bath time on the deck
