Sunsets

These pictures were taken just a few days apart and show how different and beautiful our backyard sunsets are. It's like a new painting of the sky each night.

First Year, First Day

So, my party was celebrated on Saturday, the day before my actual birthdate. Somehow that works out for convenience with big people? I dunno... doesn't matter to me. Today, I get to check out the toys I didn't know I had and toys I couldn't wait to play with.

Like this train set. The colorful tracks can be connected in different patterns. When I pull the tracks out of my toy box, daddy knows I want to play with my train, so he gets it all connected... and after a few times of watching the train go 'round-and-'round, I derail the train and bust up the tracks. I'm done. :-)

Mommy and daddy got me the "Cars" futon. One of my favorite things to do is jump off of the ottoman onto the futon and do a flip. What a rush!

The little toy hammer seen in the picture is goofy. When I bang the hammer it makes these silly boink-zoop-ding-whiiiir cartoon-like sounds. If you're sitting in the living room visiting, you'd better watch out for your toes and your knees!

I'm #1!

Take a look at my Birthday Photo Album for a look at the people that celebrated the my fun! :-)

Fuzzy Wuzzy Club

You've heard of the "Polar Bear Club?" You know, people who dare to jump into a freezing cold lake of ice with no clothes on. Well, me and my Aunt Connie started the "Fuzzy Wuzzy Club." Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear... not a polar bear, though. And that's the contrast of this story.

So, we're just sitting in the warm summer morning sun on the pool deck, and suddenly I have this urge to jump in... diaper and all. One thing that hasn't occurred to me is... I can't swim yet!

Cruizin'

Here I am, spiffed up a bit, and checkin' out my ride. We went to the mall to get my 1 year pictures taken with my pedal car.







This cool classic was given to me when I was born, one year ago, by the Idaho Automobile Dealers Association Board of Directors (selected by "Miss Denise").

Rocket's Red Glare

Took a lot of tries to get this shot. Either the camera settings weren't just right, or I was too slow or to fast on the shutter button. Here's a bottle-rocket taking off during a home fireworks display on Independence Day!
