The Bunny is Here!

Happy 2009 Easter everyone! The Easter Bunny hid my Easter Basket in Chase's kennel...silly rabbit!



Road trip to Hutch to see the Grandparents...me at the Crow River




We also stopped at the santuary and fed the deer, geese, ducks and birds!








Grandpa Hall got out his riding lawn mower for me. Unfortunately, I got a little scared by the loud noise and wanted off!





Meanwhile at home, I've been enjoying the warm weather outside. Mom even suggested I take a nap in my play house. Chase also thought it was a good idea!


No, I didn't really take a nap, but it looked good for the camera!




Let me introduce you to my "friend." Grandma Hall bought me this funny-looking guy. I like to give him a piggy-back ride, brush his teeth and play tug-of-war with him with Chase.



I even help him go down the slide



Everyone should have a "friend" like him


Now, back to Easter Celebration...here I am opening my Easter gift from Grandma Hall


Going to my Grandparents house means all new (actually really old) toys to play with. It doesn't take me long to make a MESS!

Note the corn on the cob! I have a thing for corn, so part of my Easter present was a cob of corn. I love taking off the kernels and scooping them up in my trucks.


Uncle Mark helped me find the Easter eggs

Found one!


The Easter Egg hunt didn't last long...the water barrel was way more interesting!




Here Grandma, I'll water your flowers!



Now for the videos..The Garrett Dance!



Learning to count...listen closely (sorry for the glare)


The Easter Bunny hid 2 raisins inside each egg.

In need of a sandbox

Hi everyone. I keep hinting to my parents that I need a sandbox! For now, I found that a dirt pile in my backyard is just as good.






You should see my pants when I'm done playing!


Last weekend, I went to Cho Cho Bob's Train Store. It was amazing! Trains were everywhere.












Last weekend, I also went out to eat at Bucca's Restaurant with Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Hall, Mark and Mindi. Thankfully, I brought along my patience. It was a long wait for the food, but it sure was good!

Til Next time..

New Arrivals!

Hi everyone! Lately we've had a lot of new arrivals...including SPRING!



Mom decided to put all my backyard toys on the deck. That way I have easy access to them and don't have to put my shoes on and get all dirty!


Mom & I took a trip to Hutch last week...Grandma's Easter decorations



I especially liked her Easter train











This is Grandma Hall's cat, he's not too fond of me...he always runs away













Grandma & Grandpa got out their swing for me too!









My spring boots!




















Grandma & Grandpa let me watch TV while I eat :>






Grandpa's pumping out the water and wanted to show me how it works, but I got a little scared





Here's Mom's newest arrival..a Mini Van! Dad is still adjusting to this new arrival however...




Spring time means New Baby Chicks too!
While in Hutch, we stopped at the Runnings Store and I got to see lots and lots of baby chicks!





Of course, I couldn't resist the John Deere Columbine!



Or the dump truck...



Or the tractor lawn mower

Expanding language

Hi everyone! The weather is finally warming up, which means spending more time outside! At last!

Mom keeps telling me she's amazed at how my language is developing lately. I'm starting to say a few two word sentences and am constantly repeating everything Mom & Dad say...even when Mom calls Dad "Honey..." I say "Honey" too!

Mom is getting into a routine of taking me to the library now. I really enjoy going to the library & checking out books. We read the books over and over and over...

Other news...I am getting better about being dropped off at daycare. Not to say I don't whine and get real "Clingy" but I don't have my meltdowns like I used to. In fact, when I go to the daycare at LifeTime Fitness, I actually enjoy it and don't look back after Mom leaves.

Mom also keeps talking about moving me into a "big boy bed" in the near future. I'll keep you posted on how this all goes down.


Not too many pictures this time...Mom's still working on taking more pictures


Here are some older pictures of my actual birthday, March 1st. I got to open Mom and Dad's presents. Grandma and Grandpa Hall even surprised me and celebrated my birthday with me.

















For my birthday, we went to Broadway Pizza and I got to eat fries! MMmmm...








Then dessert of course!










I don't get to spend much time with Mom and Dad lately b/c Dad's always at work...something about tax season...but yesterday we all went to the Mall and out to eat at Applebees!






Grandma & Grandpa Hall surprising me on my birthday!
