Let It Snow!!

I woke this morning to find...snow!

So, straight outside I went to get to work, equipped with my snow tools: a shovel, rake, and hoe.

Kota's so silly and got snow all over him. Don't worry, I tried to keep him cleared-off too.

I may not have had enough snow to go sledding, but a wagon ride is always just as fun.

CELEBRATE!!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! We missed everyone back home and want to thank everyone who sent me nice Christmas presents in the mail. Here's some pictures of me enjoying some of my fun new presents...

And Mom got her wish of having some snow for the holidays. We almost had a "white Christmas," (It was one day late).

Since there's only like one snowpolow in the whole county, I did my part to help clear the roads a little bit...

And there was still some snow left on the ground for Mom's birthday!

Do you like the huge birthday balloon I picked out for Mom?!

I even helped make Mom's birthday cake, and waited patiently all day long to light the candles.

Happy New Year to you all!

Bedtime

Things needed to ensure a good night's rest...

Quite the array of bedtime items, don't you think?


Bedtime Cowboy


Settlin' in for some rest the way the cowboys do it. Now, all I need is that horse Mom and Dad say they're gonna buy for me someday.

Fun Stuff

Mom keeps hoping for a snowstorm to hit North Carolina so that we can have some snow for the holidays. Well, Saturday night Mom got a little bit of her wish. Yep, we actually got a little snow! It only lasted for about an hour, but Mom made sure we went outside to make the most of it even though it was bedtime.

You can barely see the flecks of snow, but I swear we're not making this stuff up.

This weekend was also fun because we finally had another Celtics game to watch on tv. I was pretty into the game and was copying some of Shaq's dunks.

I like being sneeky these days.

Shhh...Dont' tell Dad

Thanksgiving Weekend

We all had a nice Thanksgiving weekend. We started out by having Thanksgiving dinner at our friends' house and that was a lot of fun. Then, we spent the rest of the weekend outside enjoying the nice weather. Here's a couple of the fun things we did:

A lot of people rake the leaves in their yard in the fall, but me and Dad discovered a new way to clean up the yard. You see, we didnt' get the rake because me and Dad were so fast that we'd catch the leaves before they even hit the ground! Mom got some fun action shots of our leaf catching skills:

This weekend we also went to a tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree. I was a real good tree-picker-outer.

C'mon Mom, hurry it up!

Time to get to work.

This one looks kinda nice...

Hmmm, a little crooked...

Got it! Time to load up the tree!

So long tree farm. See ya next year!

Baby Austyn

Two more months until my baby sister is here!

At Sea, In The Air, And At Home

Terror of the Seas:

A couple weeks ago we went back down to visit the Aquarium since we haven't been there in a while. Most kids just like watching all the fun animals at the aquarium. But, that day I figured I'd give a little something back to the animals for all their hard work entertaining us.

First was the river otter exhibit. Usually they are sleepy in the mornings when we visit, but that day they were having a lot of fun jumping off the rocks and diving in the water. So, I put a little show on for them too. A couple of the otters were so entertained by me jumping around in front of their home that they kept coming right up to the glass to watch me.

Next was the little shark tank. They were a harder bunch to entertain. But, eventually, the sharks started circling around to watch my balancing act.

I even wore my "terror of the seas" shark shirt to show the sharks.

We couldn't leave the aquarium without checking one of my favorite exhibits: the frogs.

I really would've loved to bring one of my favorite animals home from the aquarium. I liked the frogs, but I already have two frogs at home. The river otters were nice too, but what I really want is a shark. I guess we don't have room for a shark at our house right now so I've settled for a...

Pet goldfish! Finley is a pretty cool little fish. My frogs, Fiona and Fern, are happy to have him as a neighbor.

Pilot Training:

I really like watching all the planes and helicopters that are always close to our house. Someday I think I might be a pilot. For now, I've been practicing my flying skills with my toy jet...

And with Dad!

Bookworm:
At night I really like curling up with some good books for a while. Some days I feel pretty grown-up and opt for something a little more challenging than my picture books; like one of Mom's novels...or two...or three.
