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!

Friends are special and sent from God

On Tuesday Mrs. Becky invited me and my mom over to her house so that Hannah and I could play and her and my mommy could spend time together. We had a great time! Hannah is a very special little girl. She is so smart, full of joy, and blessed with a tender heart. We had a lot of fun playing together and enjoyed a yummy lunch and brownie dessert (thank you Mrs. Becky).

Hannah has the joy of the Lord!!!!

Wait Hannah! Come back, I want to show you something! Muchin' on a brownie - YUMMY!

I loved playing with Hannah's kitty cats....I was even able to give the kitty treats.

We are so blessed to have Hannah and Mrs. Becky in our lives. They are living their lives as a family for the Lord and it shows in their home. We enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful time together and we are looking forward to many more fun times together!

The Farm

Here are just a few pics from my trip to the farm with my Grandma and Papa. I love going places with them. I got to see a llama, horse, cow, pig, chicken and many other animals. I had a great time with them and I can't wait to go back!

Park Day with my Dad and Mom

On Tuesday my MOPS group was scheduled to go to the Splash Park, but it was kind of chilly in the morning. So, once it warmed up a bit - my mom took me to my daddy's job to play at the park and have lunch with him. It was so much fun...I can't wait to go back! I went up and down the slides...... Through the tunnels....dad barely fit :-)

Hey...daddy tried to get me :-)

Another tunnel!!!

Flying on the swings was a blast!

It was almost time for lunch, but I had to scoot through the tunnel one last time.

Here I am playing Peek-a-Boo with my mommy.

I love my mom!

I got to go work with my dad for a little bit after I played in the park and had lunch!

When I left, I was a dollar richer (thanks to Denise) and I got to take my dad's "squeezy brain: home with me...

Later that night....I got into a little bit of mischief....here I am pulling all of the kleenex out of the box in the bathroom...mischief is kind of fun!

Food, Family, Fun

A couple of weeks ago we went to my Papa and Grandma's house for some pool time with our family. Before we went I helped my mom make cupcakes for everyone to enjoy later in the day. I was such a good helper!!!

When I was all done mixing the batter I got to sneak a lick...yummy!!!

Later that day I finally got to taste the cupcake...I was really excited and only took little tastes to start - then....

I just decided that I would paint my tray and my face with the most yummy dessert ever - what fun! I love making messes :-)
After I got all cleaned up I went swimming. Here I am with Grandma and Keisha and the blaring sun!!!Everyone loves to kiss on me...here I am being silly with my Aunt Joan.
My Papa loves to kiss my stomach. It makes me laugh hysterically...I love it!

The Woodward Dream Cruise Continued...

Here are some more pictures from the 2009 Dream Cruise - This is a pic of my mom and I in front of my Grandpa Cripes Studebaker truck.

Here is my Grandma and I near a BIG car. I think it was like a car my Grandma and Papa used to drive when they were younger.

I stood in the back of Grandpa Cripe's truck. I was sooooo good...I kept my hands to myself and didn't touch anything :-)

Here I am with my Papa and my Grandpa Cripe...how special!

I had a ton of fun playing in the puddles in the lower level office area of downtown Birmingham during the Dream Cruise. This was one of the best parts of the day!!! Who cares about cars when you can splash in puddles!!!This was pretty funny...a pink doggy at the Dream Cruise. How Silly!
Just before we left we walked over to Woodward to see the cars cruising. There were some really neat cars and some really loud cars. It was a great day!
