Bo & Will's Cookie Monster 1st Birthday

Thanks to Mommy and Aunt Tracey for putting on a great party for cousin Will and I. They planned and organized everything. It was great.
We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with Mac-n-cheese plus Watermelon, our favorites.


Then cookie monster and big bird came and visited. As you can see we were not too thrilled for them to be too close. The bigger kids loved them though. Who was that cookie monster any ways.



Then we had homemade chocolate cookie monster cake which Mommy did a great job decorating.


and you can tell that I enjoyed it


We had cookie monster pinatas which was a big "hit"



We had a cookie monster craft table where we could make our own cookie monster


and of course lots of presents so thanks to everyone who came and brought me something.

Thanks again to Mommy and Aunt Tracey for making it a great birthday. I know Mommy can't wait to plan the next party

Happy Father's Day

Here is a picture of what I gave Daddy for Father's Day. This riding mower and as Mommy says a new bill to pay

Then Mommy and PaPa took Daddy and I to the Cardinals game.

Boy was it hot so I played in the fire truck water



My Daddy and I also are rooting for Team USA to win the world cup.

Florida Trip to Fort Walt Beach

Well, my first family vacation is over. I had such a great time. The beach, the pool, the fountains, family, the food, no oil, etc. Everything was great. I even did not mind the long car ride too much. Thanks to Grammy, I was kept entertained. We left on Thrs. and drove straight through to New Orleans. It was late when we arrived but then toured the city the next day. They even took Will and I to Bourbon St.

Then on Saturday we left in the morning to Ft. Walton Beach which is about 6 miles from Destin. We then had 7 nights at the condo which means we drove home the next Saturday. We took a overnight pit stop in Nashville to break up the trip.
Here is how a normal day went in Florida:
Wake up and go surfing with my Dad

Just kidding, wake up & eat breakfast. Put lotion on and head to the beach with Mommy & Daddy.

Then head to the ocean for awhile in which a couple days it was full of seaweed but no oil. Word is that the oil hit this beautiful white beach the next week

Then play in the sand some more with my all my cousins

and in my very own beach chair until I became too tired

Head in to eat lunch. I love corn on the cob.

Take a nap and do it all over it again in the afternoon. Our condo also had a very nice pool just outside our sliding doors. My favorite part of the pool was playing in the fountain.


Here are some family photos of us including the first one of our family tree.






Here is me celebrating turning one a week before we left.

Bo's first steps

Over the Memorial Weekend, just a couple days past my birthday I decided to take my first steps. Each day I am walking more and more. Pretty soon crawling will be just a memory.
Here is a clip of me walking
