Just stuff

My mom and dad enjoyed an early September afternoon out on the Detroit River on a cruise that they purchased from Groupon. They had a great time together!

I love when my mom let's me get ice cream from the ice cream truck - even after bath time and tooth brushing is done...it's the best!

My friend Hannah is a BIG SISTER!!! Here is my mommy holding Isaac for the first time - he is so tiny and so sweet. We are thrilled for their family!

Daddy and I being goofy together!

I went to the Zoo to help my Aunna pick out a doggy to take home at their adoption day, but she didn't find the "right" doggy. Sooooo.....

Mommy and Daddy took me into the zoo for a great day of impromtu fun!

Waiting for the train with my daddy!!!

I also enjoyed a day at the cider mill a couple of weeks ago with my Grandma, Papa, Daddy, and mommy.

Gotta love those donuts!!!

My Aunna has been growing pumpkins since the spring for me to enjoy - I was thrilled with the harvest!!!

I even took my big pumpkin on a walk with me!

Here I am doing school with my mom - we were talking about God's creation and I was showing mom which pictures were day and which were night. I got every one of them right!!! I love life =)

Daddy's Birthday in Frankenmuth

We went to Frankenmuth to celebrate my daddy's birthday. I had a blast...so did my mommy and daddy!!!

Me at McDonald's with the biggest play area ever!

Video Games with daddy!!!

Splash time!

Yup! I learned how to hold my breath and go under water all by myself - it was a lot of fun. I was pretending to catch fish!!

Frankenmuth is booming with autumn decor and it was amazingly beautiful!

Daddy's birthday cake from Bavarian Inn Restaurant.

yum!

Chillaxin' with my daddy!

Daddy was a big winner - 300 tickets - woo hoo!!!!

Playing with my new cheetah animal in the water - I swam every day and LOVED it!!! We go to the Bavarian Inn Lodge a lot and we love it every time. I can't wait to go back....maybe for Christmas????

Daddy's 33rd Birthday

Check out the pics of my daddy's birthday celebration with Grandpa and Grandma Cripe. They took him and my mommy to Max and Erma's and then met up with me later in the evening for presents and Grandma Cripe's homemade vanilla pudding with Cherries. It was yummy! My daddy really like his new "muck" boots and so did I!!!!

Happenings

Mom and I have been busy doing lots of little things here and there over the past week or so...

Here I am checking out my Aunna's amazing garden - I was very impressed! She lifted me waaaaaaayyyyyy up to grab a cucumber...

I was very proud!!!

We also have been doing lots of cooking and "grocery store" role play - one day I ran to get my mom to show her my great "grocery path" - we both thought it was rather cool!

We are also starting to think about the Fall coming and trying to establish a new routine as I get ready for homeschool preschool - mom has been working really hard to put together a schedule that works for us. It will be a change for both of us to have a set schedule each day that includes schooling, but we know it will be for the best and we will be much more productive!!! Anyway, we have done some schooling throughout the summer and here are some pics of me playing in shaving cream - I also practiced letters and numbers in the shaving cream, but true to being "all boy" I would much rather "play" than "work."

We also had a great time collecting different objects with different shapes and textures to make an "everything" board. I thought my collage turned out great!!

Fun with Hannah Day Two!!!

Today was another fun-filled day with my friend Hannah - I feel so blessed to have such a great friend!!!!

Hannah and my mommy making silly "taco tongue" faces

Me playing at the park at my daddy's job

Hannah loved going down this slide

We were playing hide and go seek - Hannah hid.....

I ran! Neither of us really hid - it was really fun!

Then we spent a long time on the swings being silly "animals"

Lunch time!!!!

Birthday celebration time!!!!

Thanks for the thoughtful gifts Hannah - I love them!!!

Climbing a tree

Playing ring around the rosy in a very silly way

We held hands throughout the day

Yummy Popsicles on a very warm day!

Racing down the slide

I showed Hannah how to climb very carefully.....

She did it!!! (don't worry mom was right near us and held the camera back kind of far to get these shots - such a worrier)

After the park it started to rain a little bit - so we put our bathing suits on and took a bubble bath. Mom said we were hot, sticky, and dirty anyway so it was perfect - now there is one less thing for both of our families to do tonight =)

I've had such a great time with my special friend.
