The next star for the Green Bay Packers!!

While I like my purse and jewelry, I am also a first-rate athlete! In my new favorite game, daddy throws the football, and I go grab it and bring it back. Here I am showing my excellent cut-back skills. You need to be quick on your feet to allude linebackers.

Playing in the Water

Our adventure at the park also including running through the water fountain. I had to help teach Kitson what you are supposed to do. She was a little nervous at first.

Here I am in my protective castle. Nobody can get me. Kitson is on guard.

It appears that Kitson has a rather wet face in this picture.

The girls must have been talking about who gets to play with the toy.

I am showing Kitson how you dive through the water.

Water was a little cold.

Out and about with some trees

While at the park, Kitson and I decided to check out this tree. I've recently learned that tree's can give out syrup...syrup for yummy pancakes. I was checking to see if there was any in this three. I got Kitson to help.

After a few minutes, Kitson got tired and decided to chew on this piece of bark.

I've been itching to climb a tree and this one was absolutely perfect!

It's important to get in a good stable position when you are climbing a tree.

I finally made it! What a view!

Hi Daddy! Now, how am I supposed to get down from here?

A day in the Park

Today, we went to visit some friends in Oak Park. They have a little girl who is the same age as me! We took a fun trip to the park. I got to ride in her pink tricycle.

We had tons of fun on the swings.

Fisher is really good on the swings. Look how high he gets!

My best buddy, Jack

Last week I got to spend a week with my best buddy, Jack. We spent every waking moment together. We played a lot with our cars, trucks, and airplanes. We also watch a ton of videos on monster trucks and the Wiggles.

The mommies wanted us to take a picture with the daddies. We agreed and even managed to smile...after about 6 pictures.

One morning we went to visit this super cool old sailing ship. Here Jack and I are doing some steering. Good thing the ship was tied to the dock.

Two good looking guys!

We spent hours and hours playing cars.

I've decided I LOVE dogs!

This is Truman. He's the most amazing dog in the world. I spent nearly every waking moment following him around trying to play with him. Truman was such a good sport. He never got mad and was always nice to me.

The beach

We just returned from out annual trip to Galveston, TX to see our good friends Phil, Kelly, and Jack. It was a special time and some of our best moments were at the beach.

Fisher decided to take his shorts off after he got them wet in the ocean. Not surprisingly he was perfectly comfortable running around the beach in only his underwear.

Fisher and Jack are the best of friends. Mommy bought them 3 or 4 sets of matching shirts. Every day they were sporting a new matching outfit. This day was shark shirts.

Mommy and I were having fun playing in the waves. We were the two cutest galls on the beach.

Can't a little guy get a moments peace?

That Kitson can be such a stinker! Today was a full day. I was up early, got a good two hour swim in, and then did some work in my basement. After that, I thought I might catch a little catnap before dinner. Well, Kitson was having none of that. She means well, but I sure would have appreciated a few more minutes of snoozing.

Reading

Fisher and Jackie were playing with one of Kitson's toys in the living room yesterday. Each was taking a turn whacking the lever that made a song come on.

The Conversation:

Fisher: Jackie, we need to be very careful with this toy. It says right here (pointing to the writing on the bottom of toy) that there is oil in this toy and that we need to be delicate with it.

Jackie: What?

Fisher: Yes, it says right here (again points to writing on bottom of toy), that if we are not careful we could spill oil everywhere.

Jackie: Fisher, you can't even read!!

Fisher: Well, okay, but I can still tell from these letters that we need to be careful.

Soccer Practice and the Swings

Daddy and I played on the swings today during Fisher's soccer practice.

If you look over there you can see Fisher playing soccer. He's really good.

Now how do I get up there?

I also had a lot of fun just watching Fisher play soccer. He's the cute little guy in the red socks on the left side of the picture. I tried to walk out and join him a few times, but daddy wouldn't let me.

A paintbrush and paint...well sort of

Today I had some very unique candy. Grandma Shari got it for me from a special candy shop. The paint brush is a sucker that you then dip in the paint...which is also candy. Yummy!

My first Cubs Game

Today was a good day. Daddy, Grandpa, and I went to the Cubs game. We took two trains to get to the game. Two trains!!! This is a picture from the first train. I had just taken a big swig of water.

We went to lunch at Lucky's. They have BIG sandwiches.

To help settle my stomach after lunch, I had some cotton candy.

After the cotton candy, I needed a nice salty snack. Grandpa got me this bag of popcorn. Yummy!

What a fun day!

Too much pink?

Of course not! Pink is where it is at!

Tickle Time

I sure like to be tickled.

An afternoon at the park

Fisher and I went to the park today. I spent most of my time on the ground, but Fisher was climbing all over the place.

Most people like to slide down the slide, Fisher likes to go up!

It was a hot day and I was sure glad to have my water.

Where did Fisher go?

A Field of Dreams

An afternoon in the pool

Mommy and daddy got us a new pool this week. It's been perfect for this hot weather we have been having. We have already taken a bunch of swims together.
