Happy Birthday Leighton!

My cousin Leighton turned one!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Baby Leighton, Happy Birthday to you!

Sesame Street Live

I went to Sesame Street Live and got to see Elmo and Abby! I got to go with my cousin Remy. We had a great time except I thought it was too long of a show. I was ready to go after about a half an hour. I still watched the rest of the show but I did keep bugging mom and dad that it was over even when it wasn't.

The Zoo

Mom and Dad took me to the zoo. We bought a zoo membership so that we can go back anytime we want. Our zoo is pretty small but they still have a lot of animals to look at. The only thing that they didn't have working was the train. I can't wait to go to a bigger zoo soon. Mom and Dad told me that they are planning on taking me to the Omaha zoo and Kansas City Zoo for sure this summer. I can't wait!

Enjoying the Great Outdoors

The weather has been so nice lately, minus all the rain. I love being outside.

I am trying to figure out my new bike that Uncle Justin and Sarah got me for my birthday. I am still a little shaky and unsure or it.

I love kicking a ball and mom and dad found this soccer set for me. I can't wait until next year when I can actually play on a team.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Hey everyone, I am 2 years old!

Saturday I had my birthday party at a park in Altoona right behind Grandma Connie and Grandpa Dave's house. We ate walking tacos and cake. By the way my cake was awesome! My mom made it for me. It was shaped like a firetruck. All the decoration matched the cake.

I got a lot of presents for my birthday, so many that I lost interest in unwrapping then after a few and mom and my cousin Remy had to finish them for me.

A lot of my family and friends celebrated with me. I really had fun playing with them on the playground and I really liked being pulled around in my wagon.

I played so much and was so worn out that my terrible twos came out that night. I through the biggest fit for about 10 minutes flailing around on the floor. I was too tired to know what I was doing or even what I wanted.

That night when I went to bed, dad and Uncle Brad had taken down my crib and mom and Aunt Jenn put together my new toddler bed. I have slept good in it every night so far.

Then on Sunday I woke up to my Easter basket and an Easter egg hunt that the Easter Bunny left me. Mom and Dad took me out for lunch and then stopped by Chucky Cheeses. That afternoon mom and I went to Grandma Penny and Grandpa Don's house. I played outside for awhile and then went inside and colored Easter eggs.

I had the best birthday/Easter!

Playing in Washington

We went to Washington to visit my cousins Remy and Leighton on Wednesday. Grandma Connie, Brad and Ner also were there. We went to a park and played and played and played. There was a lot of different thing to do at that park. I loved swinging and going down the slides. We even flew a couple of kites. I only let go of them a couple of times but they didn't go far. Then we went back to their house and grilled out for dinner. Remy and I played some more with her toys and when it was bed time mom and dad put on my pjs and we hit the road to come back home. What a fun day!

My First Offical Vacation

We went to Kansas City and stayed in a hotel for two nights! As everyone knows that I love trains well Kansas City is full of train stuff. Every corner that you turn there is a train display. I love watching them go around and around. We visited Union Station and saw real trains on real tracks blowing there whistles. Yes, they scared me when we were so close to them and they blew their whistles but I still enjoyed watching them go by.

At Union Station they have a place called Science City. It had a bunch of science related toys. Everything there was for educational purposes, but felt just like a big playground. When you walk around it feels like you are walking around a miniature city. You walk on mini streets and there are sewer drains and buildings that you go in. I had a lot of fun there and of course there was a mini train display there, too.

We ate at Crown Center Plaza at a restaurant called Fritz. The owner had created a train that goes along the ceiling and delivers your food. Of course, I loved watching it go by. Another restaurant that we ate at was TREX. It had a bunch of dinosaurs that move and make noise.

While we were in Kansas City my mom got a hold of her cousin Jessica and we met her and her boyfriend Aaron for dinner.

The last night that we were there we went swimming in the hotel pool. At first I was a little reserved, I haven't really liked being in swimming pools before but after being in for a little while I really began to love it. I got really upset when we had to get out of the pool.

I can't wait to go on my next vacation!
