Christmas Eve

Tonight we had dinner for Christmas Eve. We had smoked brisket, potatoes and corn. I was hungry so I started eating, I don't know what took them so long to sit down.

Another Busy Weekend

This weekend we had a Christmas party with our friends, daddy won the ugly Christmas sweater contest. He had Christmas lights on his sweater. This is a picture of me relaxing before we went to the party. Today we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas brunch. It was fun, we took a lot of pictures and opened gifts. I got a lot of nice stuff.

Ho Ho Ho!

This weekend was fun. We spent Saturday watching the snow fall and daddy clear driveways on our street. After daddy got all the snow cleared from our driveway we started our holiday fun on Sunday. We went to see Santa Claus, he said he knew that I was good this year. He let me help him ring his bells and gave me a candy cane. Then we went to grandma and papa's house for our first Christmas party of the season. I got a football and played with cousins.

SHARK!

Today we went to the zoo with some friends. We saw a lot of animals and even some sharks.

Decorating for Christmas

Daddy took the week off from work and we are getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Today we started to decorate the house for Christmas. This year I get to have a tree in my room. It lights up. I have pretend presents under it. I also helped put up the big Christmas tree. I got to put the top part of it on.

Snow

All this snow makes it tough to walk. Daddy and I were outside bright and early this weekend clearing the driveway and playing in the snow. Daddy bought me a shovel the other day so I helped.

I am the Controller

Daddy got the Kinect for Xbox, so we played bowling today.

Picking up sticks

Today daddy and I went with papa to great great aunt Marie's house to pick up sticks in her yard and take them to the compost site. It was fun, we picked up lot of sticks. She gave me a little puppy stuffed animal and some candy.

Happy Halloween

Today we came home from up north. We stopped in Two Harbors on the way home and walked the breakwall out to the little light house. I wanted to help mommy and daddy clean and carve the pumpkin, but it was too yucky. I dressed up like Buzz Lightyear and went trick or treating with my friends. Our pumpkin was Scooby-Doo!

More Hiking

Today we went to Tettegouche State Park. I made it most of the way up to Two Steps Falls except daddy had to carry me out the last mile. I was a little tired. He said I snored the last half mile, but I don't snore. We went to two different parts of Temperance River State Park. First we went on the Superior Hiking Trail, we found a hole in the rocks. Then we went hiking down along the river by Lake Superior.

Grand Portage

Today we went to Grand Portage State Park and saw the water fall. It was really high. It made the stairs all icy. We saw a rainbow too. This picture is of me, mommy and Canada. We didn't go to Canada, we just saw it across the Pigeon River. We went to Sven & Ole's Pizza for lunch and we went shopping too. I like salt water taffy. I got some new flashcards that have birds and animals on them.

Gooseberry Falls

Today we went to Gooseberry Falls and went hiking. I like to go hiking. The water was really roaring because of all the rain and snow earlier this week.

Wild Hockey

Tonight I went to the Wild home opener hockey game with mommy and daddy. We had fun. Go Wild!

Bowling and the cabin

We went bowling last night for E's birthday. It was my first time bowling and it was fun. We ate pizza and knocked over pins. I even got a strike, daddy got one at the same time on the next lane. Then today we went to the cabin for a wedding, it was fun.

Butterfly Garden at the zoo

Daddy and I went to the zoo again. We like to go see the fish and go into the butterfly garden and see all the different butterflies.

Busy weekend

It was another busy weekend. Mommy and Daddy went out so

aunt Karen came over to hand out with me. We played and watched movies. Saturday we went to the lake with friends and made sand sculptures and played in the water. On Sunday we went to the park and flew kites with friends. Sunday night me and mommy went to grandma and grandpa's house to pick vegetables. I like corn.

Pictures

Today daddy took me to get my picture taken for Christmas after we went to the zoo. He said we were doing a favor for a friend, she need a little boy to take some pictures of for work for her Christmas advertisements. We got a lot of pictures, it was fun. Daddy and I even took some pictures together.

July

July has been a busy month. We went to the zoo a few times, went swimming a lot and played on the swing and played with all the kids. We even went to a hockey birthday party. At the zoo we saw the fish, butterflies and went to the farm. This is me riding back from the farm.

Peas and Swimming

Last Night of Swimming Lessons

Tonight was the last night of swimming lessons. We had a lot of fun jumping and swimming. We played basketball too.

Not a Step?

Daddy looked like he needed help trimming the tree by the patio so I decided to help him. Daddy said that it said "that is not a step", but it looked like one to me.

What's That?

Turning corner towards swim school, translation:

Tess, Tess, Tess
Go
Oooooh . . . What's that?
What's that?
Swimmin'
Daddy
Oh

Three Minutes on a Thursday

My First Swimming Lesson

Tonight was my first swimming lesson with daddy. We floated around, blew bubbles in the water, jumped in the pool - I like jumping in the pool, sang songs and a bunch of other fun stuff too. This picture is of me and the three other boys in my class with their mom and dad's. It was fun, I can't wait until next week. Oh, mommy thinks this is funny - I peed on daddy while he carried me from the locker room to the pool. Not the first time, might not be the last.

Stephen, Why won't you call me? Sing-along

Tonight we sang along to some songs we like.

Monsters

We watched Monsters, Inc a few times. I really only like the beginning. I can see the boy sleeping in bed, the clock, the boat on the shelf and the scary monster.

Boom

A little boom, a little fireworks.

Cheese

This is one of my favorite Christmas presents. Grandma and Grandpa gave me this cool tent.
