The second snow adventure

This was what I looked like the first time Mom took me outside in the snow a few months ago...

But this morning, when we woke up to 4+ inches of snow, all Mom and Dad had to say was "Outside?" and I immediately started running in circles yelling "oudide!  oudide!"  

Here I am in my snow pants, getting all dressed to go...

Hat, check.  Coat, check.  Let's go!!!

Me and Dad, catching snowflakes with my sock gloves (they apparently don't make mittens in my size...)

I really liked tromping though the snow, but I did need a little help.

Cheese!

As you can see, my second time in the snow when WAAAAAY better than the first!

In fact, it went so well, I was really not thrilled to go back in.

Flying

Wheeeeee!

All that flying really gets the static going (note my hair standing on end)

The really big boy tub

Back when I was a baby,  took a bath in my baby bathtub.  When I was about 7 months old, I graduated to what Mom calls the big boy tub.  Tonight, Dad thought it would be fun to try out the REALLY big boy tub...

It's important to always check the water temperature before you get in.

I was really unsure about the whole situation at first (there was A LOT of water and Dad added bubbles--I really didn't like not being able to see my feet).  I warmed up pretty quickly to the situation though.  The pool is going to be a lot of fun this summer!

Dad and I had a pretty good time!

The popper

Grandma Phyllis got me this great popper last Christmas.  Since I was only 1 month old, it wasn't very much fun back then, but I really love it now.  

I especially love to pop in my cowboy boots.

It makes me smile every time it pops!

Thursday night fun

We had our usual weekly get-together with our friends.  Usually it's just people who come (the Longs, the Heinzes, the Joneses, the Zugelters, and the Rentfrows), but this time all the dogs came too!  It was a dog party!

All the playing with the dogs wore me out, so I sat on Mike to catch my breath.

Then I had a few very important phone calls to make.

Dustbustin'

Grandpa Mike would be so proud.  Mom and I stayed home this morning so she could get some things done around the house.  There was a lot of cleaning to do, which I'm really good at helping with.  The vacuum used to be my favorite thing; I think this Dustbuster might have moved into first place...

Dance Party!

I LOVE to dance.  To any type of music--country, alternative, kids songs, commercial jingles, church organ music...whatever.  Mom and I love having Dance Parties.  I thought the rattle bangles were a nice touch today.

Suckers?

I've never had a sucker before, but I sure learned to stick my tongue out fast!  And don't mind the stickers on my forhead.  Dad thought that was funny.

Double fisting

I got these new cups over the weekend.  They were so tasty, I just had to use them both at the same time...

Soos

I really like "soos" (that's shoes for those of you who don't speak Jacksonian).  Mom's soos, Dad's soos.  I especially like to wear them over my soos.
