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.

I Love Lilacs as Much as Mommy!

Buddies!

How we rigged it so they were both looking at the camera - NO IDEA!!

Big Day in the City

What a FUN day I had!! I got to meet mommy's freshman college roomie, Lisa - mommy met her a LONG, LONG time ago. And then I went to visit Daddy's work to see the agency frog (he's my favorite) and the cool microphones. Vanessa says for me to hurry up and learn my ABCs so Daddy and me can book McDonald's together.

Cat Noises Revisited

Salon a la Zoo

It was a sunny spring day yesterday, so mommy took me to the zoo! It's been awhile since I've seen my goats and they needed some tending to. I threw my lunch at mommy, so I didn't get to go on the carousel, but I am hopeful for the next time.

"How are you wearing your hair these days?"

"How 'bout a little massage?"

"You are awful hairy, I will try two brushes."

"I Cook"...

...is Grace's favorite thing to say and pretend to do these days. Maybe she'll take after her Grammy!

Easter Weekend

We had a nice Easter weekend in Dubuque. Grace spent time outside the whole weekend with Sophie. In fact, Sophie and Grace practiced their "no" in response to Poppy asking them if they want to get off the swings and go inside.

Walking with Grammy and Mommy
Refusing to leave the park
She loves the park!
Easter Flower
Get this tutu off me!
Sugar high much?

Note that she can barely lift the basket it's so full
This is about an hour into the swing...
Gotta get more eggs!
