Lemons and Ice

How did I get this idea you ask? Mom gave me an ice cube from the ice machine and it fell on the floor. She picked it up and tossed it into the ice machine. The rest is history.

I don't like lemons...no wait, maybe I do....nope I sure don't...for gosh sakes, take that lemon away from me!

Fun in Seattle

Hey look...I can see myself in the drinking fountain button
We stayed at the downtown Sheraton in Seattle for two nights.
The pool was on the top floor...pretty nice view.

There was a gingerbread house display in the lobby of the hotel. I liked this one best.

We went to FAO Schwartz and I got to play with lots of toys.

Here we are at on the observation deck of the Space Needle. It was pretty windy and cold that day.

Wee! Mommy gave me her gloves to keep my hands warm.

The Space Needle

I did not like Santa.

We walked down to the Pike Street Market one morning.

Here's a Monk fish. Pretty creepy looking.

The fish market was pretty neat. We didn't see much tossing of fish because it was pretty early.

Thanks Grandad!

Our trip to visit family out west

We took a trip out to Seattle/Tacoma to visit some of Daddy's relatives. Here we are at Aunt Karis and Uncle Tony's house. They hosted a dinner one night. Thank you for organizing it all!

Isaiah and I played down in Anthony's room for awhile. They had so many toys!

Earlier that day, we went over to Grandmom and Grandad's house for dinner. They let me try out Grandmom's fancy chair and play on her piano. We had a great lunch.

Thanks for having us over.

I love to dance

Here I am dancing with Daddy. I just learned how to dance and I really like it.

Here I am dancing with Duck.

This is how I spent Thanksgiving

First I had to take a bath for the big trip. I was very serious as I got ready.

Since Mom has Monday through Friday off we decided to drive to St. Louis to see Mommy's family. We left Monday morning at 4:15 in the morning. It took about 10 hours with the couple of stops we made to let me run around. I did great during the ride...that's what Mommy and Daddy said.

We stayed at my Grandma Joan and Grandpa Juan's house in Troy (about 45 minutes away from the rest of Mom's family). We had a great time.

Thanks for everything and we can't wait until you come and stay with us.

Here is Mommy on the tree swing in Grandma's backyard. You can see me and Grandma in the background.

Grandma lives in the country and her neighbor has a horse named Roxy. We walked over to feed him apples. I didn't want to leave the horse. He was really neat!

Here we are with Roxy, Grandma, Mom, Christian and Mikey.

Here's my cousin Jolee. We bought her this outfit as a Christmas present. Isn't she a doll?

The day before Thanksgiving we went over to my Mommy's Dad's house. It was a huge reunioun. It wasn't easy to get a good family photo with so many people. Here's the goofy one.

Double click on the image and it should get bigger. You can see all the way down Daddy's throat!

And here's the best of the serious ones.

Grandma Joan had these really great plates. She kept me well fed. I ate like a champ the entire time. Daddy and Mommy couldn't get over how much I ate.
