gift tags

mama taught me you should always read the card before you open the gift.

trucks

i just LOVE trucks. daddy let me open one present on christmas eve and after that i really didn't care if i got to open any more. trucks are so much fun to push around the room. at daycare i'd rather push trucks than listen to books or sing songs or eat snacks. this truck is made from recycled materials right here in the USA. i guess my daddy is more of a tree hugger than he likes to let on

Christmas

i'm pretty sure that ALL of these presents are for me. or at least a couple of the big ones. this was the first christmas i really remember (last year i was just a little blob that slept a lot) and it was a really good one. bows are cool - wrapping paper too. big boxes are fun to crawl inside of. and ornaments on the tree? i'm sure you can just imagine......

TKO

this is what happens when you take on a professional boxer that's four times your size! actually, this is what happens when you have surgery on a little bump on your eyebrow bone. they totally knocked me out, i was a little black and blue for a few days, and now i have a really cool scar. mama and daddy say it should go away but kinda hope it doesn't - i bet the chicks will dig it

Hendrix

this is my buddy hendrix. he usually gets up and walks away when he sees me coming (i'm not quite sure why) but this time he let me hang out with him by the fire. i like to pet him and tell him 'good dog'. then i like to body slam him and giggle.

the Park

I just love going to the park. on Turkey day we went to the park so Mama and Daddy and their crazy friends could play football. i think they're too old for it - someone could get hurt! anyway, while they played, i hung out with Nana. i sampled some elk poo (i don't recommend it without some kind of dipping sauce), played in the mud (there's nothing better), and fell off the swing. Nana thought it was funny that i got sand in my pants - until she's the one that got to change my diaper!

hard worker

in this picture i was helping Daddy load up some firewood at the land to take back home. i'm SUCH a good helper - i sat in the grass with Mama, ate sticks, and threw pieces of elk poop. it was a lot of hard work but definitely worth it! now we have enough wood to keep us warm for at least 2 weeks (the way Mama burns thru it - Daddy says she's a pyro).
