Fall and Winter . . . .

All in one weekend! Daddy and I got busy doing some yardwork. I stole his gloves - gotta keep my skin baby soft!



And then on Saturday, we got our first taste of Winter - - snow! It didn't stick to the ground, but it was white and cold still the same! You can see some of the snow flakes on my head - no that's not dandruff!

Just Chillin'

Literally! It has definately turned to Fall here and we had a couple of nice, big rain storms this weekend. So - my outdoor fun was very limited. Instead, we just kinda chilled out around the house.

This is a picture of me with Daddy's GIANT sunflower that he took to school the other day for his students. It was way bigger than me! We're going to plant some of the seeds next spring and see if we can grow some of our own.

This is me just hanging out in my truck. By the way, I'm up to six teeth now and my molars are next so - - - - watch out steak and potatoes!

The Utah State Fair

We went to the fair this weekend with Grandpa and Grandma L. There was lots to see and lots to eat!

I got to go on my first pony ride - a real pony! Look - I'm so good, no hands (or spurs)! Sign me up for the rodeo.

This is a goat. Daddy told me it was safe to touch, but trust me - there are areas I shouldn't have put my finger!

Dad told me this is a sheep. He looked kinda shifty to me. I sure wasn't gonna blink first!

Before we left, mommy took me on another carousel ride. Some people say this is the same as a pony ride, but I don't count it cause you don't have to swat flies while you ride - thus no real talent required.

All in all it was a great day!

Finally . . . . my first trip to the zoo!

This really is a picture of me with my head in a lion's mouth! Daddy found a silver thing in its mouth and when he pushed it, the lion would spit at me. Trust me, I wasn't about to drink any lion's spit!


Here is proof that we were at the zoo. The fun part was actually going inside!



One of the first cool animals I got to see was a white aligator. He was big and had some sharp teeth! Daddy asked if I wanted to pet it, and I acted brave and said No because it had bad breath (not because I was scared it would eat me!)








Then we found the elephants . . . I loved the elephants! I even tried to climb in with them. Mommy said the elephants wouldn't like that but I bet they would have loved to play with me!

Then we went to a bird show. They had some really neat birds - one flew right over me. Its feathers touched my head. This is a bald eagle. I think he is looking at me the same way he looked at the rabbit earlier - and the rabbit disappeared. I bet I would be tastier than a rabbit! This is as close as I want to get for now.

The giraffes were in my list of top five favorite animals. I wanted to climb in with them too. I want to grow up to be as tall as they are.

This is an elephant statue that squirted water out of its nose. But don't worry, I was too fast for it!

We saw some big cats too. There were tigers and a lynx and a couple of leopards - Meeeeooooowwww or is it grrrrooooowwwwwllll?

This is a picture of me petting a snake. It felt really strange - smooth and slickery at the same time. Of special note: daddy is the one helping me . . . not mommy! She would only come close enough to take the picture! Come on - its too small to swallow you!

There were lots of monkeys and apes at the zoo too. They were ok but really kind of boring. My favorites were the elephants, giraffes, and the zebras.

I want to go back to the zoo really soon! By the way, this is a picture of me with my uncle Carl - at least according to mom! Just kidding!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

What a fun weekend - my aunt Jennifer came to visit me from Southern California. She is a big tease! We had so much fun!

We all went to another Bees baseball game with our neighbors. The Bees lost again, but the food (oh and the game) was great!
That darn Bumble Bee kept following me around again. Aunt Jennifer even got me his autograph. I'm still not too sure about this guy!
This is me and my daddy at the game. What a great way to spend a hot summer night!
This is me cheering for the team - or maybe it was the 4th inning stretch! You can see my friend Bartman in the background. He had fun at the game too.

This is my aunt Jen going down the Zip Line ride. She and mommy went up to Swiss Days and then stopped for some fun up in Park City. They said it was super fun - maybe I'll get to go too in a few years when I'm just a little bit bigger!
