Planet Child

Last week, Cate, Kaden and I got to go to Planet Child! It was SO fun! They had a pretend grocery store, a giant pirate ship, a Tiki-hut with stuffed animals and books, giant blocks, slides, trains... I could go on forever!
I loved the tunnel with the cool fish!


Aunt Beth showed me how to work the train. Mom realized today that she really needs to buy me my own train set...

Just having a snack with my buds.



Cate and I fit just right in this house!






MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE!!

OMG! Reid Johnson gave me the COOLEST toy! He knows how much I love Mickey Mouse, and he was so generous to give me the Clubhouse!
"Hot Dog, hot dog, hot diggity-dog!!"

Father's Day

We had the best time together on Father's Day. Dad got the day off work and we started the day by making him breakfast in bed! Then we opened presents (I got Dad a book called "Me and My Dad" - Mom got him a Detroit Tiger's Flag) went shopping, played outside, went to the pool with some friends, and then visited Mimi at Aunt Betsey's and Uncle Jason's.


Mom and I wish Daddy could take off work all the time! Happy Father's Day, Dad!
Let me help you with that.

This is a special book to us. We have the "Mommy and Me" version too!






I went out to eat with hair like this!










COMPOST!

We are getting pretty good at composting! (Thanks for all of your pointers, Pappy and Sary!) The side view of the house (future garden spot) is filled with all of the soil/compost we made from last year's scraps. We spent a few hours shoveling out the new soil, and then starting our new compost heap. Smells great!




















Visiting with the Lancias

Dad and me.
Kiss!


I love Angeline.

As you can see, I am sort of obsessed with baby Angeline! Everytime Aunt Cecie would let me, I would lean in for a smooch. :-) Aunt Cecie loves me so much!




Pool Time!

Need to stay hydrated out here!
Just having some strawberries while I watch my friends.




Yummy drinks


The top pics are at our neighborhood park and pool, where we like to play and swim a lot. The last 2 are at Aunt Tammy's pool on Father's Day. Aunt Kim served yummy drinks that I wasn't allowed to try.

Fake laugh

Last week, Aunt Amanda showed Will how to fake laugh and now he does this goofy chuckle all the time!

Fetch with Sadie

Will loves playing with his dog, and has started throwing her toys to her. Although they don't go very far, Sadie will always chase them if he throws them.

I wonder when Will can start feeding and walking the dog...

Visiting Pappy and Sarah


Mommy and me flew to Michigan for a couple of days to surprise Pappy. He had knee surgery and we wanted to help him feel better! (I think it worked!)












Fun with friends!




Erin, Nicole and Mom visiting at Pappy's (Abbey and Lori were there too but somehow escaped this picture!)

Dave and his partner Tim came to see me too! My Godfather loves me!















Five cutie pies - Will, Kayla, Addison, Lauren, and Jack.

Visiting Stef in Montana!
