Finally, I met BOB!

My day has finally arrived...dad & mom took me for a ride, ALLL the way to Le Mars!

My First BOB DOG!!

They've even got french fries!

If I can dip it in ketchup, I'll eat it!

yummmm...I loved every minute of it- especially the ketchup!

Bob's Drive in might just be my new favorite place to hang out, all these grandma's and grandpa's were trying to make me laugh- and everyone was saying "bye" to me as they left- it's my new happy place :)

Can't wait to go back!

ps. check out my hair...I finally gave in and got a haircut!



I Scream....you scream....

....we ALL scream for ICE CREAM!

Guessss what people!! It's OPENING DAY!

Mom, where are we going? I'm in my pj's!

The Drive In is OPEN!  Yeah for ice cream after supper!

Nothing like having napkins galore stuffed around my neck.

Dad, how do I get the ice cream out of the bottom of this thing?

We swung by to say 'hi' to Uncle Adam! Where's the dog? I really want to see the dog. What do you mean I can't get out of the truck, dad?

A few moments after this picture, I quickly gobbled up the ice cream cone...every bit of it- but didn't get to see the dog!

This is going to be a GREAT summer :)

(Next time I'm breaking free to see Swagger)



Just Another Saturday

This past weekend was pretty fun. It started off on Saturday with dad letting me ride in the skid loader with him!  Don't fret mom, we didn't go on the street...or drive really fast either (and NO, I will not wear a helmut next time)

Then after that, dad and I headed out to church for the pancake breakfast...mmmm food! I ate an entire pancake by MYSELF!

The weather was so B-E-A-U-Tiful, so mom and I hung out on the deck. 

Checking out where the neighbors are headed...

Reading my book in the car on the way back to the shed to see Grandpa and Uncle Adam

I'm here!

Watching dad wash his truck

Uncle Adam showing us something clever as usual

What do you mean I can't drive home?





I Was Born To Climb

I think I must have grown a few inches, all of a sudden I can see WAY more on the counters.  Mom and Dad hide a lot of stuff from me up there!

I can ALMOST wash my hands ALL by myself!

I have been attempting to do a somersault. They are tough!  I can do one if I go head first off the couch....Mom has be a kabosh on that now though, something about not wanting more doctor bills...fun hater :(

The weather has been so nice lately, so I took Fran for a walk, I'm a very nice brother!

Mom & dad did a pretty good job child proofing the house.  But they need to step up their game now, I know their tricks! Hmmf, only took a few months to figure out- see you later Yard Stick.

I'm trying to not cause too much trouble these days.  I like to play with my toys or read a good book.  Talking is also one of my favorite past times!  I'm pretty good at giving hugs, I can't resist to try to get a good hug from all the ladies at daycare.

My hair continues to be shabby looking, because I can get away with it.  Scissors scare me...getting a hair cut is such a permanent decision- once you cut it, you have to wait FOREVER to get it back. Sheesh.

I want to welcome Oma & Opa home from Cuba! They didn't end up in a Cuban prison...so that must mean Opa and Uncle Henry behaved (or didn't get caught causing trouble :))



Let's Rewind....

I must admit that I have been a slacker when it comes to bloggin'...but I will try and do better!

So, big day for Fran! She turned 3!!! Mom says she's pretty proud that Fran is still alive after this long :)  That comment worries me...does she question her parenting skills? If so, I might need to keep an eye on things!

Fran gobbled up her annual cupcake!

She was definitely NOT going to share any of it with me!

But, in daycare they teach me to share, so I shall share her birthday hat....

....with Oma! Oma looked silly in the hat :)

Since Fran doesn't have thumbs, she let me help her unwrap her presents! She got spoiled: TWO stuffed toys & treats! I can't wait until I turn 3! Don't tell her, but I hide her Angry Birds toy so I can play with it before she gets it all slobbery :) Shhhh

What I do to pass the time...

I've taken to watching a little bit of television...on a good day!

I like to sit on Fran's house...with only a diaper on :)  I wonder why Fran doesn't like to go into her house?

Gyro bowl was able to beat gravity, and I was able to beat the gryo bowl!

Again in my diaper...playing with my truck

Peek a boo...I can step out of my pj's!

No Hands!  As you can tell, clothes are overrated

I had a rough day at daycare

Chilling in a basket

Sneaking cookies off the counter...do you think mom saw me?

Bloggin' with mommy!

Playing in drawers- at least I have my clothes on

And finally I have taken up cooking, to help mom out around the house!



Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity, Jig!

America, here we come!

This is how our trip began...I took a siesta while dad cleaned up after getting a bout of the flu himself!

I can finally text again!

Watching a little Milo & Otis

Franny peaking in on my movie

Christmas Day...and the rest of the story!

Christmas morning...all dressed up with nowhere to go!

Dad and I were up all night!

Mom looks like she was....but she doesn't get to use that excuse this time!

Why do moms always want pics of us, Eli?  I don't know about you, but I AM Outta here!

Eli: Ya, here, let me help you get off MY chair. Who does this kid think he is, taking over this house?

No Christmas is complete without Bailey's! This year Oma and Tante Emka had a little tast testing going on! Those glasses are looking pretty empty ladies!

"Another year sexier"...nice try mom. I don't understand all of this Canadian humour! (But apparently I still spell like one ;))

Franny opening her present!

What a lucky dog!!!

She must have been a good puppy because Santa brought her what she wanted ALL the way to Canada!

Now it's MY turn!

Sweet, now I can help dad mow!

We went to Uncle Walter & Aunty Jo's to open more presents on Boxing Day!

Playing with Silas and Eli!

Opa, you have something on your lip....?

Ahhhh its tickling me!!

Oma gave me a funny present :) hehehehehe

What is so entertaining.....?

....rock star Silas!

Stripes were big this year
