Happy Memorial Weekend!

I love a nice, long weekend. Unfortunately we don't get nearly as much accomplished as we think we will. We spent part of today out and about taking flowers to some cemetaries. We went to Sandy and Syracuse, but didn't make it to Woodruff and Star Valley this year. It is so cool to see all the pretty flowers and flags flying at the cemetaries and to hear stories about my ancestors.

I love being the boss and leading daddy around! I love to make him watch the birdies in our backyard with me.



And of course, no day is complete without wrestling! Yes, of course I always win! Who could withstand my "death flop" from couch-level! If you don't want the game to end with daddy crying (and mommy laughing), be careful not to land south of the equator, as daddy says!!!



I'm looking toward the future by training Samuel how to do the laundry. I figure this should free up quite a bit of quality play-time. I need to re-think my teaching strategy however, because all Sam did was sleep on the job! At this rate, he won't be taking over any time soon.


Shhhhhhh - don't tell Mason, but I'm keeping an eye on him! I think he's kinda sneeky, trying to pawn off his chores on me. I was only pretending to sleep . . . . . . I wasn't born yesterday!

I Love Being Outside!!!

Warm weather = fun in the sun. I love being outside - work, play, exploring, whatever. It has been a nice, warm week and I have sure enjoyed it. This is me hunting for some bugs - very interesting!

This is me and daddy getting ready to mow the lawn.

This is me taking a well-earned snack break.

And here are a couple of pictures of me and my new little bro . . . I'm kind of getting used to having baby Samuel around - he's growing on me. Mommy says we have to keep him and for the most part I'm ok with that.

And here is a picture of baby Sam. He's growing up already!

The Cutest Babies in the World!!!

Here are pictures of Me (Mason) and Samuel as babies (yes I know Sam is still a baby). Can you tell who is who???

More Pictures

We have had a busy but fun week. Lots of people have dropped by to visit and Aunt Jen came to stay with us for a little bit.

This is a picture of me riding the train with Aunt Jen Jen and our neighbors.This is me and daddy playing with my new toy from Aunt Jen. Maybe I will be a doctor!

And another picture that you've all been waiting for - Samuel. I think he looks a little bit like me . . . cute, for sure, just like me!

Samuel is Here!

So that's what they meant by a "last supper". It was our last dinner with just the 3 of us. My little brother arrived on Tuesday May 6th at 2:32 p.m. He is a cute little guy if I say so myself.

This is a picture of me helping to feed Sam. I've been reading all about being a big brother . . . so far so good.

This is me, my daddy, and Samuel. Sam is getting ready to go to sleep.

And this is a close-up picture of Samuel. Okay - I forgot to rotate the picture before I imported it but you can still see how cute he is. I think we'll keep him!

Lots of things to learn about . . . .

I'm still young and I love to learn. I've been reading about all kinds of bugs for months now and I finally got to see hundreds of ants up close and personal!

I found the ants extremely interesting . . . can you tell?



















Mommy and daddy told me I had to title this picture - The Last Supper! We had dinner at a yummy restaraunt tonight but they wouldn't tell me why it was my "last supper" - I wonder if I'll be learning something new this week . . . hum, what might that be? Stay tuned and check back in the middle of the week!
