Grandpa's softball game at the Dome and PlayGroup at Nana & Bumpa's

Mommy, Daddy and I went to the Metrodome to watch Grandpa Pete and his softball team play before the Twins game!

Here's Grandpa's name in lights

And here he was on the JumboTron

And here he is pitching!

We had PlayGroup at Nana and Bumpa's last week, so all my little friends came and swam with me! It was a very windy day, but we had a great time! Here we are going down the slide into the water!

More pics of the big 11 month old!!

Gavin's first LumberJack Days in Stillwater!

At the Freight House:

Playing Daddy's PlayStation! :)

Just bein' smiley (as usual!)!!
LEMONADE STAND!!

Anna had a Lemonade Stand a couple weeks ago, and she made almost $15!! Abby took Gavy to buy some lemonade and reported that Anna was so serious about her "job" (waving to attract customers) that she wouldn't let Abby take any pictures! Luckily Ab was able to get a few... :)

FIRST HAIRCUT!!

I'm not gonna lie, he didn't like it one bit!! Granted, it was naptime, and we tried to stretch it a little too long, but I don't think I've ever seen him cry for that long!! Poor brave baby! We got it done at Kids' Hair, in Woodbury, and the woman who did it said "Awww, he has a baby mullet!" - so I'm glad we got it cut when we did! :) He got the back of his neck shaved and everything! Such a big kid!!

We even tried the Bubble Gun to get him to smile!

FINALLY done!! So many tears, but all worth it in the end!! :)

While I was adding these, I ran across this "classic" - from sometime in March, I think. It was too good not to share. :)

Stay off the roads!! :)

Apparently I haven't been taking many pictures lately, but here's a great one of Gavy driving my parents' car.


In addition to his new driving skills, he's recently learned how to crawl up stairs and is pulling himself up on everything!! Last night we watched him pull up onto the toybox, stick his head under the cloth cover and dig around in there! He was so proud of himself, and oh so adorable!! :) He also crawled onto the top of his Lego suitcase, and proceeded to get stuck on top - he can't crawl DOWN yet!!

Fun in the Sun

It has been HOT here and we're loving it!! Here are some pics from the 4th of July and other random days in the sun...

Anna and I are all set for the Kiddie Parade in Marine! It's my first parade, but she'll show me what to do!

My Grandma came to watch me in the parade, too!

And Baby Mason and Auntie Sara even made it! He was only 2 days old!

Here he is wearing my hat. I think he has a ways to go before he's as big as I am!

Nana and Bumpa are helping me catch some candy in the Marine parade. Looks like Bumpa's plotting to steal all my candy!

Looks like they're all set for the Annual Boat Parade on Big Carnelian!

Here are Dad and I at the Lake Elmo Park Reserve.

Everyone says we look alike... I think it's the hats!

Mommy's friends Sumer and Andy and their kids were in town for the week, too! One day, we went on White Bear Lake with Mike, Edmond, Sumer, Andy, Sophia and Xavier.

Here's my friend X on the pontoon.

And here are Sumer and Sophia in the water
X and I love our dads!
Here I am enjoying some shade at Nana & Bumpa's
Having lots of fun...
...Until that rascally puppy Tenny took my spot! Some day I'll be bigger than he is!

Nana, Grandpa and I went to watch Mom and Dad play volleyball. They're really good. At least that's what Dad tells me.

And here I am at my friend Penelope Brazelton's house! We visited Desiree, Amelie, Penelope, Sam and their cats. We went to the park, and even got to see their pet chickens!

They were right - he's adorable!!
