For the Fourth

With the big brother at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the week, things were pretty quiet around here. We didn't go to any fireworks...they just aren't my thing...plus they are past my bedtime. Except I didn't go to bed until after midnight last night. My parents were not too happy. During the afternoon of the fourth, we packed a picnic lunch and went to Waterworks Park. We hung out, fed the ducks and geese, and went for a stroller ride.


On Sunday, we went to Canton to do some shopping and so Mom and Dad could eat at Quaker Steak. Here is a picture of me next to a truck at their car show. Dad noticed the sign right away and thought that this had to be a photo moment.

I took my family to the zoo today.

Here's me & my dad.



Here's a hungry giraffe.

Here's a lazy primate.
Here's me, exhausted from all the zoo sites and sounds.

New Beginnings Are Coming

This is a picture of my big brother Tyler on his last day of first grade. He sailed through first and is anxiously awaiting the challanges of second grade. Me? I will soon begin my transition into the 2 yr old room at Calico. Yes, I am almost 2 1/2 already, but Teacher Tamie has been waiting for the right time to move me up. She does so with a heavy heart because she and I have such a special bond. So, I also anxiously await the new challenges ahead that Teacher Tamie will help me transition into this summer. After all, I can't stay little forever, right?

Holiday Weekend

Mom and I at Dad's softball game

So far, I have had a great holiday weekend. I am feeling better and school on Friday was a good time. I took a quick nap for Mom at 5pm, so we were able to go to Dad's softball game at 7pm. We stayed for almost a whole game and came home to bath, eat and crash out at 9:30pm. Saturday, Grandma Lyla came over in the morning so that Mom and Dad could work on chores. Dad spent the day burning brush, wiring the electric for the hot tub, and hanging flower boxes. Mom planted some vegetables and flowers, trimmed the bushes, and finished staining the front porch. The gas company also came by to read the meter. Simple, huh? That is until they discover that it is leaking gas!!! They shut the gas off, called the repair guy, and a couple hrs later everything was back up and running. The guy was nice enough to install the remote reader so that Mom doesn't have to let any more creepy people in the house to read the meter. During all of this excitement, grandma and I played and I got a nice, relaxing stroller ride.

Timmy's Team= $2,000 and The Community=$106,000

many walkers lined the streets and stopped traffic for a great cause ....CF!


Our final totals won't be in for a couple weeks, but we met and surpassed our goal of $1,500. They have to combine the internet donations with all of the money brought to the walk and then post it on the website. The Hardesty Park walk collected $106,000! Wow! The weather was nice and it was a great day. Thank you to everyone that donated and thank you to those that walked with Mom and Dad.

It's My Weekend!

Busy Day

Today was packed full of things to do. Early this morning, Dad gave away our hot tub. Au revoir icky tub! Mom and Dad are having a new one delivered on Wed. We then went to Tyler's soccer game. Other than having to eat lunch and change a diaper next to the field, things went pretty well. They lost, but were still treated to ice cream. After that, we drove out to Aunt DeDe's house for a wedding. I got in a nap, did a couple meet-and-greets, and hung out with all the relatives. Arrived back home about 7:30pm for a bath, meal, and then to bed.
