Happy Father's Day




Happy Father's Day everybody! We had lots of fun this Father's Day weekend. On Friday, mommy picked us up early from daycare and we got to go swimming with Mackenzie. I had fun until the storms came through. I found out this week that I don't like thunder and I'm not too fond of lightning either. After the storm passed, Uncle Brian and daddy came home from work and we went back to our house to eat and play. Aunt Cheryl brought over a fun tunnel and basketball hoop that I get to play with for a few weeks. I love it, but I think mommy and daddy are getting tired of chasing Riley- she likes the balls too! While the adults were playing Wii, Mac and I got to play with toys.


Saturday morning I got to go to swim lessons. I had fun being back in the water with daddy. One of my friends from down the street was in my class too. Mommy said next session her and baby Chase are going to join us. After swimming lessons, mommy and daddy took us to the Bunny Water park. I was a little afraid of the shooting water, but I sure did like the bunnies! Later that day Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Jack came to visit for Father's Day. It was fun- I love saying Jack's name! I said it over and over again ALL night. We had pizza for dinner and mommy and daddy even let me play video games. After dinner we gave Grandpa his Father's Day presents. Then, Uncle Jack, Grandpa, mommy and me all went to watch a football game. At the game, Uncle Jack came back from the concession stand with a whole tub of popcorn just for me. I shared a little, but keep a close tab on every kernel.








Sunday, we gave our gifts to daddy and then we packed up the car and headed to Cleveland to say Happy Father's Day to Papa- another one of my new favorite words- and the great- grandpas. Our cousins were there and Grandma Bonk had a pool and a bunch of toys set up in the back yard. It was a lot of fun.



Here are some more pictures from our weekend adventures. (Don't forget to play the 3 videos)









Enjoy & Have a good week!

Mommy and Me

I had a lot of fun last week. It was mommy's last week off and I got to spend all week with her!


Last Sunday Grandma Bonk, Papa Chicken and cousin Meg came to visit. Mommy got the pool out and Baby Chase and I went swimming. Chase didn't like the cold water too well, so I mostly swam by myself. I had fun playing with everybody and going for rides in my wagon.


On Monday mommy and I worked on my new fort. The fort has become Sir Fudge's new home. He likes it in there and Riley can't get him. Daddy got to leave work at lunch time, so we went to the mall. I went to the play area, but there were a lot of kids there and I was too shy to play.





I had a big day on Wednesday. First, mommy took me to get my haircut. They had a fun slide there and I got a balloon. Then, we got to go to McDonalds. I ate all my chicken nuggets and apples, washed down by some milk. I even got a car toy in my Happy Meal! On our way home we had to stop at the store and mommy bought me a new ball and a monkey cup. I went home to take a nap and when I woke up Grandma was there! The three of us headed off to the zoo. I had a blast at the zoo- all the animals were out and moving and I even got to ride the train! It was a long day and I went to bed shortly after dinner.











The next day I went to the park with mommy and we saw Aunt Cheryl and Baby Mac. After the mommies were done walking, we got to play in the water playground. I liked getting wet under the shower and was soaked- I had to ride home in just my diaper! After lunch and nap, mommy set up my Elmo sprinkler. I had fun running through the water- I even got mommy wet a little.





Daddy had to work again on Saturday, so mommy, baby Chase and I all hung out- we played inside for most of the day, mommy even let me watch Elmo on tv.










On Sunday, baby Chase had quite the adventure with daddy at the grocery store- he had a Major Blowout! Daddy said it was dripping on his shoes. While mommy and daddy were cleaning it up, I got to play in my water tub on the deck. After everything was clean, we went to the park for our church picnic. I saw ducks and fish in the water, ate hot dogs and played on the playground- it was fun!









Mommy had to go back to work yesterday, so we were all up early and off to school and work. I cried when they dropped me off, but I had fun playing with my friends and chasing birds outside for the rest of the day.

Have a good week.
