Snow

It started snowing this morning and hasn't quit yet.  We went to my Neema and Papas house today.  When we got back home tonight my dad shoveled the driveway.  I got to go outside and see the snow after he was done.  My mom took this picture of us.  It was really pretty fluffy snow.  My dad put up some Christmas lights this year and it looked very festive.  I am still not sure if I like the snow or not.  Its fun to look at....its kind of cold though when you are out in it!

Decorating for Christmas

My mom was chomping at the bit to get the Christmas decorations out this year.  So the day after Thanksgiving my dad started helping her dig out all the boxes with decorations in them.  I went in the basement with my dad to help him find them.  Then I got to do something really fun - he put me on top of the tote and carried me all the way upstairs!  It was really really fun.  I got to do it a couple of times.  My mom found us and took this picture so I could show you all how much fun I was having.  I should get people to carry me around like this all the time.  Maybe my dad can build me a carriage....

Don't take my Mostacholi Away

This is the face I make when you try to take my mostacholi away!!!

Glasses and a birthday shout out to my dad

I have a pair of glasses that I got with a swim suit this summer.  I actually hated those glasses until recently.  Now I like to wear them around the house.  My mom used to try to wear them and I thought it was really funny.  Now I'd rather wear them myself though and I get really mad when she tries to steal my glasses.  They velcro in the back so they stay on my head.  I think I look pretty cool.  I wanted to let everyone know its my Dad's birthday today too.  So tell him happy birthday if you see him!!

Cheetos

My mom sent my dad to the grocery store this weekend to get some powdered sugar and he came back with these orange poofy things called cheetos.  Man they were SO GOOD!  My dad even let me get them out of the bag all by myself.  I had cheeto residue everywhere.  My hands were pretty coated.  I kept trying to grab my mom and she kept running away.  She kept saying something about my hands being really gross.  I don't know what she was talking about...I thought they tasted pretty good!

Birthday Party

My birthday party was this weekend!  I was so excited - my mom seemed really busy all day.  She spent a long time making me a cake.  Me and my dad watch Phineas and Ferb every morning.  Its our favorite cartoon!  My dad does a really awesome Dr. Doofenschmirtz impression.  My favorite character is Perry the Platypus so my mom made me a Perry the Platypus cake.  I think it turned out really good - even though I didn't eat any of it because I don't like cake.  I would have like a giant watermelon but they aren't really in season I guess.  Bummer.  Everyone at some cake - I just poked mine with one finger and was done.  I didn't feel like making a mess.  I just wanted to open my presents!  I got some jammies, a cute outfit, my very own money, and a ride on lion that roars.  I had lots of fun playing with it.  I wore out pretty quick though from all the excitement and I went to bed early.  Guess I'm not much of a partier!

Birthday Present

My first birthday was today!  My Grandma Jan came to see me after work and my mom and dad gave me my big present.  They got me my very own table and chairs!  We had cupcakes for supper...although I wasn't too interested in mine.  My mom thinks I'm weird for not liking cake and icing.  I figure she should just be happy.  More for her that way!

Mississippi River Museum Dubuque IA

This weekend we went to Dubuque for my cousin's birthday.  We stayed at the Grand Harbor hotel - it has a waterpark.  There was a museum not to far away that we went to.  It was lots of FUN!  There was this huge tank with lots of fish in it - the same kind of fish that live in the river!  I even got to watch turtles and ducks.  I had the most fun just sitting and watching the fish swim around with my dad.  We got to see some snakes too, and an alligator.  I learned a lot about the Mississippi River and had lots of fun.  I'll post some other pictures from our trip too!

TV Time with Dad

I like to hang out with my dad while he watches TV.  I like sports, and cartoons with music.  Me and my dad watch Phinneas and Ferb all the time.  He does a really cool impression of the evil doctor.  I like Perry the Platypus though.  I watch sometimes with my dad, most of the time I'm too busy playing with toys though.

Happy Halloween

I was pretty excited - this was my first Halloween!  My mom and dad made me dress up in this costume.  I think it was a witch.  I was more interested in the candy really.  It sure was a weird day.  My mom took me to school and picked me up just like a regular day, but then when we got home we put a bunch of candy in a bowl and went and sat outside.  Mom and Dad said it usually isn't this nice on Halloween, it was like 68 degrees!  My dad helped me carve a pumpkin and I got to help hand out candy for awhile.  Then my mom and dad took me around our block and I got to get my own candy.  I was pretty tired from all the commotion.  I went to bed at 6:30!  WOW!  When I got up the next day I only had 4 pieces of candy left.  Mom and Dad said the dog ate it...I'm not so sure.
