Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh my!

In the words of Grover -- "Hel-lo Every-Bo-dy!!!"

The highlight of my weekend was going to the Detroit Zoo with Kristen, Evan, Megan and Jennifer. Kristen took pictures so when we get them, I will post them for you to see. We had a lot of fun, and we saw a lot of animals. Did you know they just let the peacocks roam free? I thought that was pretty wild. I was disappointed that we didn't see the wolverine -- I guess it was sleeping. I bet it was getting its rest for football season. GO BLUE! -- sorry couldn't resist. Anyway, we saw giraffes and monkeys and gorillas. We also saw some seals and a polar bear. It was a lot of fun!

On Sunday, I had a lot of fun playing in my froggy pool and my water table. It's so much fun to splash and get everything and everyone wet! On Monday, my mom and I had our second swimming class. I really like it -- especially when I get to jump in! I practiced kicking and paddling and blowing bubbles. It makes me really tired, though.

Finally -- I want to say hi to Brandy. She read my blog all the way from Minnesota. Too bad you got married Brandy!

So Much to Say

I had a crazy week last week. Let me tell you about it. On Wednesday I went to have my picture taken. My mom takes me to see Jamie in Coleman, and she takes great pictures! (www.snaptotsphotos.com) My Papa and GG drove up to go with us. We were cruising along and almost at Jamie's house when I burped -- and then I spewed EVERYWHERE. It was gross -- smelled like raspberry pear yogurt. I've never seen GG so quick or so much in control of her gag reflex. We pulled into a parking lot, and she jumped out and started to clean me off. I rode the rest of the way in just my diaper. I was in a pretty good mood considering everything. I had my pictures taken, and I look handsome as ever!

On Saturday, I went to watch Papa play base ball. It was fun. My mom was interviewed by the Oakland Press, but they really wanted to talk to her about me. I am the star of the family after all. I was hyped up from all the attention, and I did not want to go to bed on Saturday. Eventually, and after a lot of patience displayed by Papa, I went to sleep.

And it's a good thing I did. Sunday was very busy. In the morning, Papa, GG, Momma and I went to see Kung Fu Panda. I really liked it. I sat on Papa's lap for 40 minutes and watched the show. I got to eat a lot of fake popcorn (don't ask). After a while, I wanted to get down so I climbed up and down the steps by our row. I saw a statue of the Incredible Hulk in the movie theater --he's almost as strong as me! After the movies, we had dinner and celebrated Father's Day. Then I ran up to see Uncle Nerd to give him a Father's Day gift. Then I got in the car with my mom and drove up to Midland.

It was a good weekend. I was a little tired this morning, but it wasn't too bad.

Tonight I have my first swim lesson!

Ode to Rhonda

This is special little something something for my friend Rhonda. She knows who she is.

Help me Rhonda
Of you I'm fond-a
Your smile is so bright
It's like a magic wand-a

Oh my Rhonda
I'd follow you to Rowanda
I'll love you forever
No matter if you're a brunette or blonde-a

Shaking What My Momma Gave Me -- January 2008

I Like the Night Life, I Like to Boogie

Another Busy Weekend

So -- what did you all do over the last weekend? My weekend was kind of busy. On Saturday I drove to Midland with my mom and Papa (don't ask). I tried to ride my red tricycle at our house - I can already reach the pedals! We also stopped at my mom's work, which was fun. I got to play with some stones, and my mom let me push the buttons on the elevator.


On Saturday I went to two graduation parties. I went to Adrianne and Stephanie's house for their party. It was fun. They had a fountain in the back yard, and I played with it. My mom stripped me down to my diapers! On Saturday night, I went to Irina's graduation party. They had a playscape in their backyard, and I had fun playing with that. I got tired, though, so my mom took me home.

On Sunday, we went to the Pancake house for breakfast. Yummy! Then we went to Toys R Us. I love that store! I was supposed to get a water table. I got a water table, a chair, two potty seats, and Elmo towel, and a inflatable frog pool. Can you say SPOILED! When we got home we set up the frog pool so I could splash around in it. When we were going to leave to go back to Midland, but it started to rain really hard. Then the tornado sirens went off so we went in the basement for a while. Finally, we were able to leave. I didn't even get home until 8 pm!

All in all, it was a busy weekend per usual. But I had fun. Hope you had a good weekend too.

The Red Wings did it -- they won the Stanley Cup! I wanted to stay and watch, but my mom was like "no way." I was like "What's up with that?" But she held her ground. It's pretty cool that they won.

Let's have a moment of silence for the Penguins and my friend Keith...

>>>>>SILENCE<<<<<<<<

Ok, I'm back. I'm glad the Wings won, but I don't what to do to occupy myself sports-wise until Michigan football starts. The Tigers are painful to watch, but I still like to sit on PaPa's lap and watch with him. And pretty soon the Lions will start, and we all know how that season will likely turn out.

Oh well, just bring on the Wolverines! Hail to the Victors!!!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Kristen!
