Saddle Up, Partner

No, Daddy didn't get a horse, but Grandma and Papa might, so I test rode it for them.

My newest cousin

I would like you to meet my newest cousin on the Riopel side, Lincoln Gamble.

He is younger than me, but he already is bigger, outweighs, and has more teeth than me.
Oh, Lincoln, I love you too! Paper, Paw, Scissors. Paper always beats paw.
Come here and give me a hug, you big lug!

I love playing with my new cousin!

Last Weekend

Last weekend we went to Grandma and Papa's

and since I am growing so big I got to ride in my big boy car seat.

I spent time with my cousin Josie...

and with Papa and Grandma...

and with Uncle Jess. Josie thinks I should back off, she has enough trouble fighting off her 5 siblings for her dad's attention.

Causing Trouble

When Mom wasn't looking, I found my little bag of puffs...

and I figured out that the bag was open!

Yum! 4 and 5 puffs at a time are good.

This is way better than when Mom feeds me. She just gives me one at a time.

My first camping trip!

I went on my very first camping trip this weekend. We met Uncle Aron and Aunt Lisa at Fall River Lake and had so much fun!

Dad and I hung out in the sun.
But I still had to take naps!
I love being up in the trees.
Here I am in the tent on Mom and Dad's bed.
And here was my bed. It was almost just like home.
Uncle Aron brought the boat and I played in it.
Here I am driving it!
My first camping trip wouldn't be complete without a campfire!

Dad's High Ropes Excursion

Dad's college buddy, Nick, works at this High Ropes course and invited us to come play. But Daddy was the only one that could do it. I'm too young and Mom is too big in the belly, so we just watched.

Here's Dad climbing up to see Nick.
Then Dad and Phil looked pretty silly trying to get up this big ladder.

Here he is getting ready to go down the zipline.
Wow, he's pretty brave!
He barely made it across.
For this last one, Dad said he might have to borrow some of my diapers. It is called the Pampers Pole!

More on my Easter weekend

Here are some more pictures that I wanted to share..

of me just "monkeying" around.
I had lots of fun with Grandpa
Here is a dolphin that the Easter bunny brought. I can't wait to go to the pool and lake.
Dad says that I have to start pulling my weight around the house, so I thought I would start by helping out in the yard with my new bucket. Good thing that I don't have a lot of weight to pull!

We played and laughed all weekend.
OH, the things they put me through. And here's Dad on his new mower. He says that as soon as it warms up he will teach me how to drive it.
It sure was bright Easter morning, good thing that bunny brought me some shades.
Now I know all about the story of Easter. Grandma read to me about Jesus in my new book.
