Raspberries

While we were visiting my Grandma and Grandpa Cripe we were able to go to Erwyn's Ochards and pick some raspberries. I've never picked berries before - it was so much fun and absolutely delicious!

Come on guys...I'm so bored waiting to get my berries. Gotcha!

Silly me!

I ate what I picked :-) Soooo yummy!

Phew...I needed to sit down after the hard work of eating so many berries :-)

The next day mommy taught me how to make raspberry freezer jam. I love cooking with my mom.

I loved stirring the gooey raspberries.

Just before bed my jam was already...I made 4 jars of jam!!!

The next morning I had raspberry jam and toast for breakfast....it was super delicious!

A day with Grandma and Grandpa Cripe

Last Saturday, I finally got to go out and see my daddy's mom and dad. I was soooo happy. They have a great horse named Lizzy and I love her...she is so big! They also have a kitty named Blynken.

Here I am with my Grandma Cripe and Lizzy.

My Big Boy Bed!

September 5th was the big day! When I woke up in the morning my mommy and daddy let me watch a movie while they went into my room and turned my crib into a toddler bed. They took down all of my "baby" bedding and made my bed super soft and cozy with new sheets, comforter, and 2 new pillows. As soon as I seen my new bed I was so excited and hopped right in bed....Then I moved around a little bit and looked to see exactly what happened.

Then my little Mocha hopped in bed with me and gave me lots of kisses. I felt so special to be able to have Mocha get in bed with me.

Then I spent some time petting Mocha while we both relaxed in "our" new bed.
We spent the rest of the day out at my Grandpa and Grandma Cripe's house. When we came home and it was finally time to go to bed mom and and dad were a little bit nervous, but I climbed right in said my prayers and went right to sleep! I slept through the whole night!!! My bed is great...I love being a big boy!
