June 29, 2010 - What a wedding weekend

This weekend my mommy and daddy took me to my 2nd wedding ever. This one was different than the last because it was outside where you could see the sunshine. And it was so funny, my  mommy and daddy had water dripping all over them. I heard them say that it was 100 degrees but I really don't know what that means. All I know is they kept letting me drink out of this clear cup that had stuff in it that was super cold. It didn't really taste like milk so I bet it was water...it was good stuff, but honestly, I just liked the way cool bottle that it was in. Karen looked so pretty in her dress, someday my mommy said that I will get one of those white dresses. Her and daddy pray every night for the man out there who God has planned for me. I hope I find one just like my daddy.
Sunday was exciting too. You know, I have gone to the nursery a few times when we go to grandma and grandpa's church but never at Life Church. Well, today was the day. I  was heading to the room where all the kids go wild. I won't tell my mom and dad, but I probably had more fun than they did. I sang songs and showed the little kids how to stand up and cruise around. When we got home, I took  the best nap ever and then it was time for dinner. I have been eating more food lately, like toast and eggs, noodles, and now mommy gave me the real veggies, not that blended stuff. I loved the carrots and cauliflower, but the broccoli...well lets just say I had a night like the good old days. Mom and dad had to bring out the bouncy ball because my tummy was really not too happy. It kept making those funny grumbling sounds, I told the monsters to get out of there but they didn't listen.
Oh well, off to the next week, 4 more days of swimming lessons then off to the lake!!!

June 25th - I met a new friend

So yesterday was a super busy day. Mommy and I went to kindermusik, I had so much fun. It was kinda neat, there were these two pretty little girls there. And they were moving all around the floor on their feet and not their knees. It was so neat, someday soon I will have to practice that. One of them kept coming up and giving me hugs and kisses, she really made me smile. Later on, daddy took me to swimming lessons. I am getting this kicking thing down, it is so much fun. Daddy doesn't realize that I just want to stand on the boogie board, but that's ok. Then all of the sudden, they had me put my whole body and face in the water. It reminded me of when I was in mommy's tummy. I really didn't like it much, but I acted like a big kid and I didn't even cry.

Today, mommy and daddy were both home so we went and partied. We went to the place with all of those shopping stores in it, wow, I love that place. Then mommy and daddy drove me to where I was born. I kindof remember it was a cool place because people always wanted to hug me. This time we were there to meet Sarah and Brandon's new baby, Conner. He decided to leave his mommy's tummy yesterday. He was so cute. I tried to talk to him, but he didn't like to keep his eyes open to look at me. I bet his big sister will teach him how to do that. I was pretty pooped out but then we went to Miss Sarah and Mr Cord's pool. That was groovy, it wasn't like swimming lessons because there was no one there. It was like our very own dream pool.

June 22 - I am 11 months old

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe it. It has been almost 1 year since I told mommy it was my turn to come and see the world...Today mommy and daddy hooked up this really cool telephone. It uses my favorite toy the 'laptop' and let's me see my silly grandma and grandpa. We had so much fun, we called grandma and Grandpa Vink. They thought that I had grown so much. I really loved seeing my uncle Gavin, he is so big, I cannot wait to climb on him. I was having so much fun that we called my grandma and grandpa Cody. I thought it would be cool to show off so when my daddy said say "love you", I totally said it...They all thought that was the coolest thing ever. Just wait until I do my next trick, maybe I should show them how I have been practicing walking.

Slippery FIsh ~ That's Me

Guess what I did today. I got mommy and daddy in a swimming pool at the same time. That is right I went to my first swimming lesson. There were so many fun kiddos there. We sang songs, and I learned how surf on a a big piece of rubber. It was so funny, mommy wasn't tall enough to go all over the pool, but daddy did. And best of all, I learned to splash. I am keeping it a secret, but I also learned how to kick, but I decided that I would wait to show mommy and daddy that until next time. Oh yea, and there was a cute 2 year old boy there...I will keep you posted on how that goes.

Fathers Day

My Mommy and Daddy have been married for 4 years

So these have been a couple of stressfull days for my mommy. Just as she was getting daddy's fathers day and anniversary presents put together, the little black box that holds all of her pictures went crash and boom. Mommy was not happy. Infact, she even cried alittle. So needless to say,  I gave her biggie kisses and hugs to make it better. She was able to find some pictures, but her and I said lots of prayers to Jesus, so we believe that all of the pictures will come back to visit soon.

It was going to be a busy weekend. My grandma Paula was in Lawrence with her friends; Sharon, Marla, and Donna. They call themselves the Knights of the Roundtable. Not really sure what that means, but they have been friends since they were in their mommies tummies. That is a super duper long time. Anyway, I got to meet them, and they gave me a new name I am the first grand-knight! I have to get that on a tee-shirt.

Since it was also mommy and daddy's anniversary that meant that I got to go party with grandma and grandpa Wheeler. Yippee. That meant that I got to stay up late, eat everything I wanted, and even go without a nap, oh yea, and hit the pool. It was awesome. I hope mommy and daddy had a nice dinner out. They also went to see mommy's friend Tami marry the man God picked out for her. I heard that it was beautiful, and my mommy cried again. That silly mommy.

I Could Get Used To This...

That crazy big fish Chris Caught, I didn't like it

 

Mallie and I playing Roll The Ball

So mommy took a baby break this week because a doctor wanted to make her feel better. I overheard her and daddy talk and they said something about the doctor was going to suck her gall bladder through a straw. I really don't know what that means, but I was told that when I am 12 months old I get a smoothie, and that sounds much better than a gall bladder, especially if it means that you have to be in bed for a week after.

Anyway, so "uncle" Chris took mommy and I to surprise Grandma Paula and Grandpa Dale at the lake. Yippee it was so much fun. I played with Mallie, we rolled the ball back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Mommy said I did it for a really long time. But I keep telling her I am learning how to take turns. Guess what, grandpa Dale got a new parking spot for the boat. They call it a dock, but to me it is just like the driveway. Of course, no lake trip would be complete without going on Grandma's boat. I loved being in the sun. My mommy put all of this white stuff all over me and then kept me covered up when all I really wanted was a tan, but oh well. The final destination was the "Aqua Bar" wow, that placed rocked. I got to watch so many people, and they all commented on my pink Jayhawk hat.

Finally, Daddy showed up. He had to come after work. I was so impressed that him, Grandpa Dale, and "Uncle" Chris went fishing at 6am. I was still asleep (that is because I make my mommy get up with me just about 3 hours earlier so I was really tired). After a really long day of fishing they caught 34 fish. "Uncle" Chris caught one that was as big as me. Oh my goodness, I mean, it was huge. They put it next to me and that did NOT make me very happy...it smelled like dirty diaper.

I am not too sure how it happened, but suddenly we were having a "fish fry." Daddy said when I get older I can have some and that he will teach me all about fishing. I cannot wait, Grandpa told me he would buy me my own fishing pole.

It was another unbelievable weekend at the lake, as much as I want grandma and grandpa to live right next to me. I definitely understand why they like living on the lake.
