So Mom Wanted Family Photos...

Want to know what happens when you get 2 adults, a toddler and a photographer together? See our family at www.christineportraits.com. Sometimes Mom wins and sometimes she doesn't!

A Junk Junkie

For those of you who don't know, my dad is a total junk junkie! He loves to have lots of toys and I love it because it means lots of ride time for me!
His latest toy is an old beat up electric cart and when we got it fired up today for the first time, I had a blast!!

Even Mom got it on the action and we took a spin around the driveway.

Dad got the brilliant idea to hook my bike trailer on the back and then we were really on the go!
On another note, I think I'm getting used to the idea of having a baby brother. I have been kissing him a lot lately. I've also been trying to climb in his bed, which makes Mom more than a little nervous!

Happy Father's Day

For Father's Day weekend, the family packed up and went to Carthage to see Grandpa PoPo and Great Grandpa Henry. While there, we met Uncle Bren's new puppy Macy and did a lot of playing. I also got kissed by lots of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!
Grandpa PoPo and I played on the trampoline one evening and there seemed to be a lot of 'skeeters out and he was getting pretty bit up. I thought it was pretty funny that he kept slapping himself trying to kill those pests. At one point, I laughed so hard, he thought I was going to pass out!

Uncle Bren was helping steady my stunt bike while I was practicing my Evil Knevil moves. Mom just thought it was a good way to get an ER visit, but I wasn't scared. It was fun!

Fathers Day morning was a good time to watch a Feed the Children infomercial and hand out gifts. Daddy got some pretty fancy 'spenders that he'd been hoping for.

Grandpa PoPo can now have some handy tools to cook my steak!

While there, I also managed to push that pretty red button on the phone...again...twice... The 911 operator didn't think it was so funny - especially the second time. Fortunately, we have connections to the police department, so I didn't get in too much trouble - other than from Mom!

Grandpa PoPo came to see us this week too. He decided to test out his motorcycle on a long ride. I didn't get a long ride this time, but I'm hoping someday I will!

Let's Roll!

Story from Mom: Nana has been working hard lately at teaching Henry to do somersaults and other feats of gymnastic ability. Yesterday, he and Daddy were going to go outside and as they made their exit from the bedroom into the hall, Daddy said, 'Let's roll, Henry!' Henry proceeded to lay down on the floor and roll down the hallway. We use an awful lot of slang in the english language, don't we?
Henry's also learned this week to say his name!
