a little less subtle this time

I know this picture is a repeat from his birthday group, but thought we might change the focus of the picture slightly - removing all subtlties :-)

We thought it was a bit big on Noah, but that it would be a better fit, say, in November!!!!!

My birthday weekend!

My birthday weekend has been the very very best! I have a lot of pictures to share....so be patient (it's worth the wait :-)

First off, my Papa and Grandma from Montana came to visit me. I haven't seen them since THanksgiving! We have had so so so much fun....

On my birthday we went to the park.... and had ice cream....

And then I got to open some presents from my cousins.... Brandon and Avery - I love my monster trucks! How did you know? Brandon, wait until you see my monster dump truck that I got from my WI cousins!

Megan and Maycee gaved me this awesome firetruck! I can't believe how fun it is to ride around, push it around and dance with the catchy tune. Thanks cuz's!

The bows and cards and paper and boxes were some of my favorite, most captivating things.....

But this monkey chair is pretty cool and comfy! I can't wait to go camping this summer in Door County and check it out!

Noni made this super cool lion-cake and Papa ordered a yummy custard/strawberry cake too :-)

I fell in love with it from the very first lick of frosting.... I'm having a really hard time falling asleep tonight - is this what you call a "sugar high"?

I got lots of great clothes, BUT....this one was my favorite by far! What do you think.... do you like it? (click on the picture to enlarge and take a closer look!!!!!!!!!!!)

Learning the drills

Daddy started teaching me all of the positions:

-center-

-quarterback-

-running back-

I'm also learning all the possibilities of play with Bridger....she likes to play catch and is really really good at catching the frisbee.

First days of spring

I have been learning how to walk outside on this green, uneven stuff....

Helping daddy and Noni plant some dirt....

And watch the pretty flowers come up out of the ground....

Early birthday bash

This weekend we went up North to visit our friends before they move.

We had a birthday celebration for Jackson and I. My first cake and ice cream treat!

We played with lots of toys all weekend and went to a fun cheese factory. I'm really really really going to miss them when they move far, far away.

play dates

Last week we had lots of play dates. My auntie and uncle's doggie, Hailey came to visit us and play with Bridger. Hailey's tail packs a little bigger punch than Bridger's, but she was such a good girl - can she come again, auntie?






















I also got to have a friend come over to play... we played outside for the first time this "spring".....
and then went back inside (to warm up)... thanks for coming to play!

Cali trip

It was half my lifetime ago that I felt the way the warmth of sunshine.... until this vacation to visit our friends in California.

We ate outside, went to a park (first swing ride, ever :-) and event went
digging for gold.

My friend also turned 6 years old and lost his first tooth - so much excitement
for one weekend. I will go back there anytime - thanks friends!
