AJ: He's What's for Dinner?!?!

Doo da doo doo doo. Mmmm, looks as if my toy cow somehow got stuck in this big metal thing. Being the animal rights activist that I am, I best climb in there to save the cow.


This does not bode well.


I smell a rat. Okay, a cat. I knew Miss Kitty had it in for me.


Yikes, I shouldn't have stuck the whoopie cushion in the second level of her kitty condo. Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20. Right Dr. Graves?


Oooooooh, it all makes sense! DADDY is the one behind this elaborate plot!


But a stew pot? Why a stew pot? And, how did I lose my clothes? Oh yeah that's right, now I remember. Mommy and Daddy thought it was SO darn cute that I fit in the stewpot, they had not one photo session but two (the second being the day of the historical Kitty Riding photo). I have a feeling these photos will come back to haunt me when I am 16. Why did I let them do the second shoot? God Bless this photogenic face!

Enough of my adoring public. I am done. Get me out NOW.

Finally!

Expert Kitty Rider AJ approaches his subject. He knows this kitty is very ferocious and fast to escape. He must plan his moves carefully.

Alas! Another successful kitty riding adventure. Finally caught on the camera for all to see. Miss Kitty looks kinda squished by AJ's massive body weight. Don't worry, she has lots of girth to cushion her.

Garden Update

Hi again, everyone! Just a quick update on the front garden. Hang on, I have to yell at Daddy--get to work, Daddy, no slacking! Okay. Now, here's the good news: Mommy and Daddy are almost halfway done with the project.



Daddy has been working hard pounding bricks into the ground while Mommy loads up the wheelbarrow with dirt and dumps it in the new garden. Sounds like loads of fun. I wish I could help. After the dirt is smoothed out, Mommy plants her plants. She has had lots of fun with that. Linders had a 50 percent off sale. Enough said.



Here's the garden so far. The pretty rocks are from the backyard (who knew?) and some are from Grandma and Grandpa T's house. Grandma T loves rocks. I don't know why, don't ask.




Daddy also needed to rid himself of some aggression. He decided to take a sledgehammer to the brick planter on the side of the steps. The planter was as old as the house and was crumbling. Turns out, they built it pretty well, but someone decided to paint it and that ruined the brick. Or it could be the fact that it is 53 years old. Hmmm.


The day after Daddy took out the planter, Miss Kitty (photo: file footage) woke Mommy up at 3 AM with a little present. No, not a furball (she would have preferred that ) but a MOUSE! Turns out there was a hole in the house behind the planter that a mouse was able to crawl through. Mommy was very grossed out but was happy Miss Kitty has such wonderful mousing skills. Daddy has always been saying Miss Kitty needs a job, and now she has one. Hopefully she won't find anymore mice.



I did a great job supervising the work Daddy and Mommy completed from my blanket post. I will keep you updated...

A Busy Weekend

Another whirlwind weekend has come and gone. On Saturday, we went up to St Croix state park for a picnic. I had fun sitting on a blanket in the shade. I am gearing up for my next trip--to Iowa in a few weeks to see Grandma and Grandpa F and to spend time with Great Nana. I can't wait!


Cousin Alyssa models in her spare time. Note the color coordinated pink purse.


Lily was busy telling us the story of her life. She has had a very eventful 6 months so far. Cousins Joe, Julia and Nate were unavailable for photos--all were busy swimming and gathering snails in the nearby lake. Sounds gross to me.

Finally, on to Jakey. My spontaneous cousin. He really wanted to go swimming in the lake, but Uncle Donnie didn't have his swim suit with him. So, what's the next best thing? Playing under the drinking fountain!


Cousin Jakey is going through a 'naked' phase. He loves to take his clothes off and be naked. I cannot wait to go through MY naked phase!

He also LOVES to run around like a crazy dude. Oh, I can't wait to run around with him.


Darn diaper, always bringing him down.

Is there anything better than water? I don't think so!
