Laundry Day

Laundry Day

Daddy is doing some laundry while we are taking a nap. My nap ended early, so I decided to help. 

I will start with these.

I got everything folded for you Daddy.

All put away! Do we get to play now?

First Hike

7 Bridges Trail

Uncle Bill and Aunt Kristin are coming to town! We also get to meet our cousins, Adeline and Ella. Since they are from the Kansas prairie, they wanted to go hiking in our beautiful mountains. This sounds like fun.

 We have to get a good night's sleep before a hike.

I am ready! When do we start?

Uh, Daddy? I can't see anything.

10 minutes into the hike and I am already asleep.

But I sure am cute.

Now I can see, but that tag is annoying.

This is a little better.

What did I miss? Are we still hiking?

My turn for a nap.

I am so much more comfortable without the hat.

This is the only way to travel.

Picture time!

We have a pretty great family, Matthew.

Holding hands.

Mommy, you need to get taller. Sister can't reach.

Perfect!

Uh, guys? You are squishing us.

Aunt Kristin and Cousin Ella.

 Uncle Bill and Cousin Adeline too.

Since everybody was carrying a baby, we got a lot of comments.

Maybe this hat isn't so bad afterall.

 Is this hike over yet?

Whew! Back to the car.

I am exhausted.

Can I drive home, Daddy?

You control the peddles and I will take the wheel.

(I don't have a mohawk, even though it looks like it.)

Turning left...

Back home with Cousin Ella.

We are going to miss you Cousin.

Lady Luck

Lady Luck

Daddy had poker night with the guys and since Matthew was with Mommy, I got to tag along. I don't really know anything about poker, but Daddy says I am his Lady Luck. It must be true because he won $35! 

This game sounds complicated Daddy.

Start by picking a card.

Are you listening Daddy?

Take this one.

Now take a red chip...

...or just go all in.

Where did the rest of my chips go?

Yeah! I win!

Ace high!

Independence Day!

Independence Day! 

Mommy and Daddy said this day is when we celebrate our freedom and the great country where we live. Normally there would be fireworks, but they were canceled because of the hot, dry weather. It is probably for the best, since fireworks probably would have scared us anyway.

Daddy says Baseball is another thing that makes America great.

I tried to catch the baseball...but missed.

Its much easier when Daddy hands it to me.

Oh no! Its getting away!

I better hold on tight.

This is how I throw a changup.

Get a different one, Daddy. This one is mine.

This is how I throw the fastball.

I am looking in for the sign.

Playing baseball is tiring.

Strike three!!!

That pitch slipped out of my hand. I need a glove.

Daddy, can you take my picture too?

Baseball is fun on TV too!

I am getting tired.

Hi Daddy!

I like to squirm while I sleep.

I am almost free!

Success! My foot is free, so now I can sleep peacefully.
