Grandma's house in Michigan

When we arrived I got to meet lots of family and future family. My grandma, in case I haven't updated you all on this is engaged ........woo hooooo ..... go granny go granny whoooot whooot.....ok anyway her future Bo's daddy gave me my first fishing pole........it's so super bitch'n I couldn't hardly stand it.......not sure what to do with it yet, but they told me the next time I come out they would show me how to use it and we could go catch a fish.......... needless to say I'm pretty excited about coming back to Michigan ........ Thanks again future Great Grampa .....

Yah I'm even expected to style my moms hair now........sheesh.........a kids work is never done

After she gets quaffed, it's my turn........I wasn't too fond of the bathtub here, it's different than mine at him, but the sink is great........plus I can see outside and watch the birds and rain as I get all squeaky clean

Ohhhhhhhhhh.......you almost saw me nekkid..........


Ok.......keep checking back for more

Michigan Trip - Green Field Village

We just got back from my first major trip..........to Michigan .......whew it was hot and muggy.........I got to see weather that even my dad has never seen before, and it was kinda freaky to be honest, but he seemed to like it ok, so I guess I was ok with it too.......

Here we are at Green Field Village, near the Ford Museum. This is a living working farm village that has to sustain itself on what it can grow, catch and create using only technology from 1875. Its very interesting as they have nothing, and seem to get along just fine. This is the fountain out at the front gate with mom, grandma, me and daddy ( from left to right).

Above is me and daddy and a reallllllllllllllllllllllllllly cool coal/steam powered train that I got to go on. This train goes around the entire Village and you can get off at various stops, or just ride it all the way around if you want. I had so much fun riding on it.........I sure hope we get to do it again on our next trip out there

Here I am sitting on the train with mamma and grandma. We are at one of the stations located around the park, and just dropped off and are picking up people......they only stop for 5 min. and if you miss it........you're out of luck.

Here we are talking with one of the farmers that lives/works in Greenfield Village. He was just checking on his crops which you can see in the background. No way I could survive like this, but they sure did have a great backyard to play in.

My mom took me over to see the pigs on the Firestone property. The village is full of historic landmarks like the Firestone house, the house where the Wright Bros. were born/raised/ and came up with many concepts and designs, and the oldest windmill in the US etc.........it's really very interesting to walk around.

Stay tuned for more to come.......

Our typical Sunday during the summer

My mom and dad have season tixs to the Padres as I've mentioned before, so I figured I'd give you a run down on our typical Sunday when there is a Padre game in town. First thing is we get up and head south to Balboa Park or Sea World, but right before we get there we'll stop for breakfast somewhere, like Brians...........yummmm yummmm

Today we're at Balboa Park and this is me and momma riding the very cool train ride. This is a gas powered train with a real conductor and everything. It tours around what is basically a mini San Diego county, and I get to wave at those not lucky enough to ride on it like me.

This is the Balboa Park Caroussel...........it was originally out on Coronado in Tent City a 100 years ago.............it's the fasssssstest caroussel I've ever been on and still kinda freaks my parents out a little......

This is a little butterfly ride, there are also planes, but I hadn't ridden in this yet.......not really sure I will again either.........didn't like it too much that's for sure........

Here we are at Petco after a day at either the Zoo or Balboa Park.........whew I'm tired already.......maybe I'll sleep through during the game a little......yah that'sounds like a good idea to me

Here I am with momma running the bases out at Park at the Park..........I'm getting pretty dang fast I might add.........and I'm going to catch that kid in front of me toooooo.........well ok maybe not, but I am getting fast.....


Well keep checking back for updates........going on a trip back east soon....should be fun ..........my first airplane ride........weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Del Mar Fair 2007

In July the Del Mar Fair comes to town. I've been twice now, but this is the first year I could go on all the rides and stuff......... This is me and momma riding an elephant, she was really neat, and I wasn't spooked at all to get on her..........the people at the ride even said was super brave.

This is me and daddy riding on a truck ride/roller coaster........I got to sit in my own semi-truck, and it went around a track for a reallllllly long time.........pretty cool

Here I am with mommy on a Dumbo ride.........I didn't know Dumbo came down to the Del Mar Fair.........hmmmmmmmmm

I GOT TO RIDE A HORSE............weeeeeeeeeeeee ........... It was so much fun. This was the first time I rode something by myself. I saw it, ran over to it, asked the guy that worked there if I could ride it, and he picked me right up ( without even asked my parents ), and set me on a horse. He strapped me on, and slapped the horses butt, and awwwwway we went.........I never cried once, and I can't wait to go riding again .

Yup that's right..........I'm a fireman now........and thats my firetruck behind me... ok well maybe not, but it sure was fun to play one for a while.

Well that's all for now........check back again soon.........I've been very very busy

April 2007 Zoo trip

Hello again everyone,

Today my mom and dad took me to the San Diego Zoo again. We have annual passes so we get to go there and to the Wild Animal Park whenever something else isn't happening. I love going, and get to see and pet lots of animals. I'm in my safari outfit today, and everyone thought I was just as cute as it gets.....which of course is true.......

Here I am with mama, and we're getting ready to walk down Monkey Trails, which is super cool cause I can do the walk myself and don't need to ride in the stroller or be carried. It's a pretty gradual grade and I'm strong enough now to make the walk ......at least down........I think I'll let them push me back up ...... after all it's why you have a daddy right ?

I got to see the Elephants playing today. It was really neat, they filled that metal hex thingy on the ground up with carrots, and the Elephants tossed it all over and used their trunks to get them out......I never knew the end of their trunk was like my finger and could get into small places and had a grip......pretty weird

One think I really like to do is watch the flamingo's........they stink, but they are easy for me to spot and watch, and they make lots of noise and are really colorful. Usually the peacock is in the enclosure with them fanning out his feathers, and putting on a show.......he's pretty cool too...

I'm just striking a pose before I set off on my next adventure. There are come ducks and some pink birds of some sort in here that like to lick my dads hand......but when they tried to lick me, I said heck not and ran away.......


Ok......take care everyone......check back for my next adventure......

My 1st Easter Egg Hunt

Well I had my first Easter Egg hunt at school, and it was great. I spent a week practicing with dad outside our house so I knew exactly what to do, and how to get the most goodies. I had my ears, my basket and a desire for sugar that wouldn't quit....... not sure why I wasn't allowed to have the sugar still, but oh well mama and daddy said I don't need it......they must be right....

As you can see.......I scored bigtime.........and after we finished the hunt, we all got to sit down and have a good lunch......everyone was there........it was great.......I can't wait for next year ......I'm a pro now, and surely I'll clean up the joint ......

Well I'll see you later.......keep checking back for more updates

Spring Training 2007

Hey all......I'm here with my parents in Peoria, AZ for Padres Spring Training. This is my second trip in my first 1 1/2 years on the planet, and I'm loving it more than I did last year.... Below are some shots we took and more will follow so make sure you check back often.....

This shot is in the middle of the practice fields, and I'm top of dads shoulders for the best view....we got lots of autographs, and I even got a ball handed to me by the strength trainer....that was very cool, and everyone was green with envy.....yeah me.....

It was super hot while we were here, and mom and dad bought a spray-fan, and dad chased me everywhere with it.....or did I chase him......oh well either way I got super wet and it was a blast.....

Once I got wet, I wanted to look around.....I got to see the field better when I got up a little higher, and dad was there to make sure I didn't fall or hurt myself.....but I told him he wasn't needed......ugh......parents.....

If you look closely you can actually see the water droplets spraying me in the face......I kept coming back for more, and eventually we had 5 other kids all playing with me and dad.....he sprayed them all......it was tons of fun......

I'm soaked.......I'm happy.......and I can't wait to come back next year......ok thats all for now.....we're off to breakfast and then back over to the complex for more autographs......weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My 1st Disneyland Trip......Weeeeeeeeeee

In Feb. 07 I got to take my first trip to Disneyland. I went with my mom and dad, and we spent 11 hours there. I was awake for 10 of them, they said I was a trooper. It was the greatest place on earth, and I can't wait to go back.....here are a couple pictures of my day and some of the cool rides I got to go on.....

I got to see Pooh's corner and check out his honey pots and see Eore, Piglet and Tigger.....I got to go on his ride tooo and see the 100 acre wood.....it was really cool...

We went to Mickey's house and I got to meet him and see where he lived. This is his mailbox and his house is in the background. It was really neat, everything was close to my size and I got to play on his furniture and see where he works...

Here I am with mama in line for the Pirates of the Carribean. I was kinda scared at first, but as soon as we got inside and I saw the boats that I was going to be on, and then I saw the mounds of gold and treasure, I just had to have it......I didn't even cry once......and other kids were, but not me, nope nope nope.....

Here I am in line for It's a Small World, which I think might have been my favorite ride of alltime.....at least for the 1 year I've been around.....There was so much to see, and we got to go on another boat too, it was realllllllllllly cool......I can't wait to go back.....but next weekend we're going back to the Wild Animal Park....I should have more for you to see soon......

Thanks for stopping by and hope you had as much fun as we did......
