A Little Cheer!


Gimme me a "P"

Gimme an "O"

Gimme an "O"

Gimme an "L"

What's that spell?
"POOL!"

What You Talkin' 'Bout Willis...

Creek!
I had a great time playing in Willis Creek the other day!
It's hard to believe that such a little creek carved these AWESOME canyons!
I tried to catch some tadpoles; but, with no luck.
(They're slippery little guys!)

Up, Up and Away!

There was a Balloon Rally in Panguitch this past weekend.
I had never seen hot air balloons before.
They were awesome!
Maybe, some day, I will get to ride in one!

Introducing...

'Squito!
He is a Betta fish, and he is my very first pet.

Too Hot!

Mom was in the Bryce Canyon HooDoo Chili Cookoff on Saturday.
She named her concoction 'Chili to the Max'.
She said that I was her 'inspiration'.
She was only four points away from winning the People's Choice award.
(I wish that I could have tried it, but she said that her chili was too spicy.)
She gets my vote anyway!

Two Wheels and a Special 'Hat'

I got a new bike!
Well, kind of.
Actually, it is a seat for me that fits on Daddy's bike.
Anyway, I absolutely LOVE it!
I like my cute new helmet, too.
It has interchangeable covers; a frog,
a fish,
and a bee!
***
Bikes of all kinds (motorized and non) are my favorite thing now. Whenever I see one I say "Bi! Bi!", sign (vigorously) 'bike', and make the 'vroom, vroom' sound!
Well folks, I think it's time for me to pedal!
Take care!

New Things I Like To Do!


I like to put on socks.

I have found that Mom and Dad's socks (because of their significantly larger size) are much easier to get on my toes.
I like to eat berry-flavored Rice Krispies.
Anything that sticks to my chin, must be delicious!

Deutschland

Yesterday I received a package from Germany.
I tried on my new flashy duds right away!
As you can see, I'm looking pretty 'fly'!
For those of you who aren't up to date on slang, that means 'cool'.
Anyway, I'm outtie!

Home, Sweet Home!

This is my special house. It's just my size!
I have a special portal on top that I can pop out of.
Best of all, I can use my crayons and markers to color all over my house!

Paunsagaunt

We visited a wildlife museum just down the road from us where I made some new friends.
This is Mister Buffalo.
(Mrs. Buffalo and her baby were snorting at us that we should let them be!)
I think that Mrs. European Deer thought that I had a treat for her.
I was very interested in Mister Furry-Antlered European Deer.
***
There were a lot more animals inside the museum.
It was a very interesting experience because none of them moved - not once!
Mom and Dad said that they were 'taxidermied'. Now, I don't know what that big word means, but I will be happy to take you to the Paunsagaunt Wildlife Museum if you visit!

Breakin'!

Yesterday we went to Cedar Breaks National Monument. It is less than an hour from us, but we haven't been able to visit before because there was still snow and the road was closed.

It was actually lightly snowing while we were there. (It was only 43 degrees!)
Look at all the snow still piled up here! It's the middle of June!

My Ambitions

Karoake star?
Lounge singer?

Traditions

Every year we have an 'Olde Thyme' photo taken.
(Mom and Dad started this tradition on their honeymoon.)
Here is this years photo.
Here is one of just me as a rootin', tootin' bandit.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation - Part 1

Our friends, the Whitesides, came to visit us from Minnesota!
We had a really great time showing them around Utah!
This is us at Bryce Canyon.

Zachary and I had a really great time wearing our matching hats!
We had fun playing the drums too!
We took rides on the ATVs and just enjoyed hanging out together.
After a couple of days in Tropic, we headed out to Zion National Park.
It was really hot (110 degrees!) so we rode on a bus to see the canyon.

Whenever the bus stopped, the breeze stopped, so we wanted the bus to just keep going! This is me signing "more" when we weren't moving.

Luckily, our hotel in Springdale had a pool. Ahhh! It sure felt good to cool off!
