Table Manners

Baby Sissy needs some help with table manners.  As you can see, she is quite the slob.  I will teach her the ways of the world and give her my pearls of wisdom, table manner version 1.0.

Baby Sissy, when someone gives you a corn husk, put it on your head.  It makes an excellent conversation starter.

Northern Exposure

A couple of weeks after our CB trip, we ventured north to Grandma and Grandpa T's house for a summer picnic.

I spent the majority of the time here in the best pool ever.  Being the wild and crazy guy I am, I stayed in the deep end the whole time.

My tame cousins were busy playing on this thing.  Weird slip and slide.  Where's baby sister?

Opa!

My pool's been envaded!  Alert alert!

Finally, the crem de la crem.  I highjacked Grandpa's lawn tractor and trailer when he wasn't looking.  Ellen's mad driving skills rubbed off on me.  Watch out world, here I come.

CB

That's my daddy in our new backyard pool!

Our family posed for a self portrait.  I can't believe we have a new pool.

Brayden, Claire, Amelia and I decided to fly sans parents to Iowa.  And, no, we're not too young to fly solo mio. Duh.

All my other cousins showed up, too.  Ellen and Ryan drove their parent's truck.  I hear Ellen has mad driving skills.

While in Iowa, we cousins got a distress call that Auntie Brandy and Auntie Beth needed to be rescued from the zoo.  We don't ask questions, we just help.

Once at the zoo, we found our 2nd cousin, Cara.  She was hanging out in the jungle.  Always smiling, of course.

We're handsome men.

Aaah, I'm in my element.  The fish tank.

Wait, how'd they all get in this photo?  I was doing such a good job of convincing you, gentle reader, that we cousins truly did take a solo trip to CB.  Drat.  Well, photos never lie, even though I may fib every now and again.  This is the nicest family picture I've ever seen.  Such love!

The best picture, EVER.  My peeps.  We all had a great time visiting CB this year and didn't even have to drive through any tornados.  What a plus!  Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the wonderful time. 

Just Another Day

Another day in the life of little old me.  You caught me eating, again.  I seem to always get my photo taken with a huge mouth full of food.  Mommy says it's the only time she can get me to look at the camera because I'm contained at the table.  Whatever.  She's just not fast enough.

Hello world, I'm awake!  Are you ready for me? 

Wow!  Daddy was busy building me a new Lego garage.  Better take a look at it quickly before the demolition company (ie: ME) comes through.  Won't be long.

Seems as though no one has fed Elmo in a while.  He's hungry singing YMCA while begging for food.  Little does Mommy know, this is a ploy by me to avoid eating my snack.  Hee heee hee.

Oh no, Elmo's now thirsty.  Mommy has since banned me from giving Elmo liquids.  Seems as though Elmo is a bit messy with his drink.  I had NOTHING to do with the chocolate milk spill all over his mouth, I swear!

I love playing in the car.  It really annoys Mommy and Daddy, I have no idea why.  It's time to turn up the tunes in Daddy's car. 

I'm not actually turning all the knobs, moving the seat, switching the hazards on--really.  Do I look mischievious?  Yeah, didn't think so.
