More Zoo & Park Pictures

Sharing a laugh with Remy, our Auntie Aki's doggie.

Watching the turtles sun themselves on the rock.

First time playing with the water table this season.

This is not a zoo or park picture, but Maddie is very excited about Mommy's new mop.

A nice day to fly my Spiderman kite at the park.

After Mommy got it up into the air, she let me fly it. :)

Watching and enjoying the kite soaring up over my head.

Maddie looking cute holding her Elmo bag.

Kite flying is so much fun!

Spending some quality time brushing and petting the goats.

Nobody wants to be brushed anymore because it's lunchtime.

This guy let me pet him while he finished his lunch.

Mommy, can I have a pet goat? I promise to brush and feed him everyday...

Baking & Zoo & Park

Hi! Sorry we haven't updated this page lately. We've been busy playing, though. Here I am baking cookies. Yum!

I told Mommy I'm going to be a chef when I grow up.

A couple of weeks ago, Maddie & I visited the little zoo near our home. I liked brushing the baby goats.

Mr. Snake, do you like graham crackers?

Maddie likes watching the snakes, too.

Peeking out and saying 'Hi!' to Mommy. She remembers holding me up when I was a baby to take a picture in this sign. Now I'm tall enough to climb up all by myself!

Mommy thinks Maddie looks so grown up and beautiful in this picture.

Then Maddie decides to make a funny face at Mommy!

Bowling

A few weeks ago, I went bowling for the first time with some of my friends.

I had a great time. I have an interesting technique, but it works for me!

Maddie didn't actually bowl, but she had fun hanging around and watching us.

Snack time!

Admiring each others' technique.

Future bowling league.

Trying out a motorcycle. I love it!

Ah, the yearly tradition of eating breakfast while watching the yule log on television...

Loving my glow wand from Santa!

The Night Before Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Maddie and I are so excited for Santa to come to our house later tonight! We are leaving him some milk and cookies. Of course we ate some too, to make sure they tasted OK.

Mommy read us 'The Night Before Christmas' for our bedtime story tonight.

Thanks for all the great cards from our friends and family!

Keeping Busy Until Santa Gets Here

After singing in the chapel at my school Christmas program, I took a picture with my teacher, Mrs. Vick. I like her very much!

Me and my friend.

After we sang, we all acted goofy while our parents took pictures of us.

Maddie & I had so much fun watching our pinwheels spin around fast on a windy day.

Daddy & I spent three Saturday mornings at Lowe's Build And Grow workshop and built this train together!

Playing in my kitchen while Maddie works at the tool bench.

Showing off our chocolate advent calendars. We got five of them, but Mommy & Daddy will only let us eat out of these two.

Mmm...yummy Christmas cookies shipped to us from our Auntie Judy!

Another night of fun at Disneyland. I love these spinning light toys!

Maddie enjoys her candy cane while waiting for the fireworks show to start.

Giving my grass a haircut. I made it during craft time at school.
