E-I-E-I-Oooooooo!

Here daddy and I are singing one of my favorite songs. I think we should go on American Idol!

Mommy & Daddy's trip to San Fran!

I know the primary reason you tune into this blog is hear about me (the Fish), but every once in a while it is important that I keep you abreast of what's going on with the rest of the family. And recently mommy and daddy took a trip out to San Francisco. Here are some pictures from the trip. Warning!!!-I am not in any of these pictures!!! Here is a picture of mommy and daddy at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Here is a close up of them actually on the bridge. It is hard to tell from the picture, but daddy (who has a mild fear of heights) is a little uneasy about the whole experience.
A picture from the bridge looking back at San Francisco. Mommy was especially happy here because she had just spent the morning buying shoes...expensive shoes according to daddy.

Here mommy and daddy are at McCovey Cove directly behind the San Francisco Giants baseball stadium. This is the spot where all the homes runs are hit. Daddy was pretty excited about this.
Here is daddy ridding the trolly in San Francisco. He insisted on hanging off the side the whole time. I don't think mommy would have let me do that.

I am a good worker man!

In getting our house ready to sell, mommy and daddy have been working on a number of little projects around the house. I recently decided to help with the cause. I'm a very good at measuring, hammering, and decorating the walls with crayon.

Root Beer Floats!

When my grandpa Treps was visiting he thought it was very important that I try a root beer float. I now know why...they are awesome! Here are some pictures of the experience.

Different Places I Rest

I don't know about you, but I find that it is important to take a good rest now and again. Here are some fun places I have rested recently. Here I am taking a brief break at the zoo. There is so much to see and so many animals to talk to that a little guy like me can get tired very quickly.
Here I am after a long run with daddy. He did most of the running, but boy was I worn out afterwards. All that fresh air will wear a guy out.
Well, I don't ALWAYS sleep during nap time. Here I am sitting back and enjoying a good book on big trucks during my nap. I find that crossing my legs while reading adds a certain sophistication to the experience.

Trip to the Zoo!

This is Dudley the Rhino. It was his birthday and he got a birthday present of grass and fruit.

Dudley sure was big.
One of my favorite things to do at the zoo is to ride the merry-go-round. I picked this horse because it was the fastest.

The hunt is on!

The Eater egg hunt is pretty crazy. I changed strategies a bit this year. Last year I focused on grabbing as many eggs as quickly as I could. This year I took more time with each individual egg; looking to see what was inside.

I'm going to get that egg back

While I'm not exactly proud that this moment was captured on video, I'm not sure what else I could have done. Some kid comes out of nowhere and takes my egg and I am supposed to pretend like it did not happen. As you can see I did what was necessary to get it back. Unfortunately mommy caught me in the act and made me give the egg back. But I promise you this isn't over!

Easter Egg Hunt

One of my favorite parts of Easter is the Easter Egg Hunt. As you can see we had a lot of fun and I got a chance to see the Easter Bunny again this year. I wasn't as scared this year, but he's still a little scarry.

Easter Morning-I love chocolate presents!

Hello everyone. Sorry for not posting much recently. We've been super busy. My grandma and grandma came to visit, we celebrated Easter, and mommy and daddy took a trip to San Francisco (which meant that I got some great alone time with grandma & grandpa). Above is a video from Easter morning. As you can see I am an expert at eating chocolate. My philosophy is that the faster you get the chocolate in your mouth the better it will taste. I made sure to help everyone with their Easter baskets.

Preparing to nap!

Unbeknowst to me, daddy was shooting a video of me just prior to me falling asleep during nap time. As you can see I undergo quite the elaborate procedure before I can fall asleep. Everything must be just right.

Let's all go bowling!!

Today was my friend May's 3rd birthday. We had pizza and cake at her house and then all went bowling. Here Mommy is teaching me the basics of bowling. Apparently, she spent much of her youth bowling and roller skating.

Here it goes!!!!

I almost knocked them all down. Mommy is a great coach!

Daddy is not much of a bowler, so I decided to teach him a little of what I picked up today.

What a fun day. I can't wait to go bowling again.

It snowed...in Arkansas!!!

Yes indeed. We got snow yesterday. They cancelled school and everything shut down for the day. This is me the day after the snow checking it all out. It's nothing like the snow up in Wisconsin, but it will do for the time being.

Don't tell me it can't be done!

Yesterday daddy and I were playing around trying to get all of my letter blocks into my school bus. We tried and tried, but couldn't get them all in. Daddy said he thought it just wasn't possible. Well, when daddy left the room I decided that nothing is impossible and set to work. It must have taken me 25 minutes and way too many attempts to count...but I DID IT!!!! You should have seen daddy's face when he checked in on me. I think my smile in the picture tells the whole story. Remember, nothing is impossible...well, except putting slippers on; that's really tough.

Relax Time

Sometimes you've got to sit back, relax, and enjoy life.

My Tiger Sucker.

I got lots of goodies from my Grandparents this Valentines day. One of which was this Tiger sucker (from Winny the Pooh). While I did not end up eating much of it, I played with it for days. There was one traumatic moment when I came running in to mommy frantic about what had happened to Tiger's nose. It had vanished and I was completely distraught! Mommy asked me what happened and I sadly informed her that I had eaten it.

Surprise--It's Fisher!

Where did Fisher go? You'll have to watch this video to find out.

New Train Tabble!!!

Isn't this train table the most amazing thing you have ever seen. I LOVE it and have spent nearly all my time playing with it the last few days. As you can see, I have managed to get both of my train sets on this one table. It is pretty much the greatest thing ever. It is even a great place to hide!

Puke bowl or fun hat?

When I was sick I had the unfortunate experience of throwing up a couple of times. What an absolutely horrible thing! I call throwing up "choking". You should see how quickly mommy and daddy come running when I yell "mommy I'm choking!" Sometimes I don't even have to throw up and just yell it to see which one can get to me first...kinda like a race. Well, during my throwing up period mommy gave me this bowl to throw up in (I am not old enough or fast enough to make it to the bathroom). But I found that instead of a puke bowl I preferred to wear it as a super-cool hat. What do you think...should I wear it to the Oscar parties?

A bunch of sick bubbas!

Hello everyone! Sorry for not blogging much. As you can tell from the pictures our family has been struggling with just about any bug, cold, or virus you can find. Both daddy and I have been sick twice with two different bugs. If it wasn't for a great mommy, I don't know what we would do. She sure takes good care of us. But the good news is that we are all better now and looking to a long stretch of healthy living. Now that I am feeling better I have been spending a lot of time in my kitchen cooking up so excellent chocolate and pizza soup.
