Jet Setter

This weekend I went to see my Uncle Will and Kelly in Memphis - I went on an airplane! And I did pretty darn good, too. We had so much fun! We went out to dinner, we went painting, played outside, met new friends and Uncle Will got a new puppy! I helped name her with my finding Nemo obsession, too. Her name is Dori. She loves me. I hope Uli is not jealous!

First Dentist Appointment

And It Begins...

She has discovered the pink nail polish. Help.

Last Tumbling Class

I did some baby gymnastics this summer - see, Mommy and Daddy think it will help a bit with my klutziness so I don't end up like Mom. I think I did pretty darn good. My favorite was the "donkey kick" and if you ask me nicely, I'll show it to you and even do sound effects.

Star Lake!

I told my mommy she's been a slacker updating the blog. Being tired and worn out from summer is no excuse, I tell her. She finally got back to it because I had to show you how much fun I had at Star Lake. I LOVED the water, I went kayaking, I went tubing, Poppy let me and Sophie drive the boat, I saw baby Eagles and stayed up until 10:00! What a week. Well, I guess I know why Mommy is tired.

Snapfish Link for all our Star Lake pictures


Sophie wanted to hold my hand on our boat rides. She loves me...

Think she'll still love me after I give her a spin in the boat? Don't worry everyone, Poppy hid the keys. But I sure loved the horn!

Driving lessons - at night and no hands, we may have someone else teach us to drive a car when the time comes.

Night time boat ride

Throwing rocks in the water was the best!

Well, swimming was pretty fun, too.

And playing with Dad was too...

And kayaking with Mom was fun, too...

And my, oh my, did I love tubing!...

And here I am practicing my baby eagle flying.

What a week!

Pentagon!

Mid-Summer in Dubuque

Little Artist

I love my Mangna Doodle. Mommy seems to think I am influenced by Picasso, although she fears it's a little Guernica. Ooops, I'll try to lighten it up next time.And then there's the spins in my tutu. I love wearing it. Yep, Mom and Dad are in trouble.

Puddle Jumper

My Poppy continues getting me into mischief.

My Bud and His Caddy

My friend Christopher gave me my first ride in a Caddy. We sure look cute!

Dolphins, Whales, IPods

Daddy was trying to secretly take a iPhone video of me while I was talking about my new favorite things, sea animals - specifically Dolphins and Whales. Well, then I saw him and as usual I wanted IT...

A Girl and Her Dog

My mommy posts lots of pictures of me and my doggie, but really, we're best buds.

Cutest Picture EVER

Thank goodness my auntie is a photographer and has cute props! ;-)

Out of Control

Grace is already addicted to very expensive toys that Daddy shouldn't have gotten anyway ;-)
We are in trouble. When anyone else touches it, she says "mine" - oh boy.

Indiana Dunes

What a fun day we had at the Indiana Dunes with Mommy's friends Hal and Joanie! I told Daddy (really I did) that "whales" were in Lake Michigan. I was also getting acquainted with Mommy's sunglasses for the beach, but we really didn't need them. I still looked pretty cute!

Apple

Mom says I am already a poster child for Apple. Gee, I wonder which parent I take after? Now that Daddy has his iPad - I have told him I want his iTouch. Of course, I play with the iPad all the time, too. Such the little techie!

Summer's Here!

Dancin' at Turkish Fest!

Lots 'o Swimmin'!

And of course watching my cousin drinking out of my pool just like my puppy!

My New Cousin Comes Home Today!

Click here to see me visiting my new cousin, Clara Marie - I can say her name!

You can't see me!

Dress Up

Well it's happened. Gracie has taken to dressing up the dog. It may be time for that dollie - Uli does not look too fond of that pink tutu.

I Heart Sophie

Sophie spent a bit of time at our house last week and I can't wait until she comes again! I've been told Sophie is going to have a new brother or sister in a couple days so Mommy promises that I'll see more of Sophie. Yay! As you can see, we really shake it up and of course, Uli always watches over us.

Even Uli likes Elmo!

After this, Mommy decided to take us to a playground...

What? We're just eating cheese, we're not getting into anything!

Monkeys in the Crib

Chef Sophie!

Mother's Day!

Last minute trips to Dubuque are awesome! This swing ROCKS!

Mother's Day? Whatever. She's a Daddy's girl. Well, both of 'em are!

Hugs

We all had a tough day today. We had to say good-bye to our best little friend, Titanic. I may not remember him, but Mommy and Daddy will always remember that my first word was Tai. And that makes my mommy and daddy pretty darn happy.
