I Went to the Beach

Hi Granny!  Great Mama sent my Mom and email that apparently had a gentle reminder about posting on my blog.   THANK YOU, Great Mama.  My Mom can be a real slacker.  Anyhow, my friend Hailey invited me to visit her at her beach house, so my Mom and I headed to Newport.  First stop?  Donuts!

Then we headed out to the sand for some fun in the water.  The water was very, very cold, so I spent lots of time playing in the sand.

Then we went on a nice ride to pick up lunch.

Pizza!

I love you, Granny!

I Play Tee Ball

Hi Granny!  I play tee ball!  Here's my new glove.

I really like batting.  Even though I can barely lift the bat.

The best part was seeing my friend Tanner.

I love you, Granny!

Arkansas and Buffalo

Hi Granny!  I took a long trip.  First to Arkansas for Sydney's graduation and then to Buffalo for Great Mama's 90th birthday party.  Here are some of the pictures from my trip.

I love you, Granny!

Bye Bye Binkie

Hi Granny!  Guess what!  I don't use my binkie anymore.  My Mommy took me to Build a Bear so that I could say bye bye to my binkie.  First I had to pick my bear.

Here she is.

Then I kissed all of my binkies and put them in my bear.

We put the stuffing in, sewed her up and I had a perfect bear.

I spent some time at the computer recording my details.

Here's the birth certificate - Mulalah Julalah Bogatz.

I love you, Granny!

Mannequins

Hi Granny!  My Mom and I went shopping today and I discovered mannequins.  I demanded that my Mom take a picture of me holding hands with every single one.  Like this one.

And these guys.

The little one.

These gals.

I took a quick break for a photo with a gum ball machine.

Then back to it with the chef.

We finished up with this brightly dressed athlete.

I love you, Granny!

I Took a Trip to Philadelphia

Hi Granny!  My Mom, Daddy, Flat Stanley and I took a trip to Philadelphia.

 I visited with my Uncle Jeff and Uncle Skip.

I met Aunt Candace's new puppies.

I met some new friends.

I ate some ice cream with some old friends.

But mostly I played with my cousins.

I love you, Granny!

Having a Picnic

Hi Granny!  Yesterday my Mommy and I made dinner, packed it up, grabbed a blanket and walked to the park for a picnic.  When we got there we picked out the perfect place to have our picnic (about 2 feet from the playground).

Miss Christine always says to have healthy choices first, so I started with my sandwich.

I followed that up with some string cheese.

And no picnic would be complete without an apple!

I love you, Granny!

Trip to the Donut Shop

Hi Granny!  When my Daddy is out of town, my Mom and I try to have lots of special adventures.  Yesterday we went to the donut shop.  I got a very fancy hat.

I was super excited to get my mini donut.

I ate it all up.

Nothing goes better with a donut than some delicious milk.

I love you, Granny!

Taking Walks

Hi Granny!  My Mommy and I love taking walks together.

There is so much to do on a walk.  It's necessary to walk on every ledge.

It's important to smell the flowers.

It's impossible to ignore a stick.

And once you find a stick, make sure you plant it.

If you find a marigold-

you must make sure to blow it away.

And if you happen to come across a pole - give it a hug.

I love you, Granny!

I Play Soccer Now!

Hi Granny!  Did you know that I play soccer now?

Before you play soccer you have to stretch.

And do lots of warm ups.

You should also practice looking very cute in your soccer gear.

I love you, Granny!
