"Love"

Isn't she beautiful! She looks like she has frosted tips on her hair!

I'm not actually trying to eat my sister, I'm trying to kiss her! I'll get the hang of it eventually...

With much fanfare I introduce my new baby sister, Phaedra Jolene Hayes! She was born June 1, 2009, at 7:50 a.m. in Cody, Wyoming; weighing 7 lbs. 15 oz and was 19-1/2" long.

Look at the pretty dandylions! What should I do with them?

I'll give them to the pretty girls!

Better get back over to Gramma and Pa!

I am such a little charmer!

While we were at the park the next day, we watched the hang gliders landing.

Being two, I get a little cranky when things don't go my way...

I'm really into bandaids right now. I don't know why. I love to stick them on myself and those I love!

Gramma and I had a race on the slide...


and I won!

We went to Don Morse Park in Chelan and had fun on the slide.

Then I had fun rolling down the hill in the grass.

Mommy and I came to visit Gramma Jo and Pa for a week. I had a great time, and so did Mommy. I stayed with Gramma Jo and Pa, and Mommy went to Seattle to see all her friends and have some "adult" time. ;)

Gramma Jo and I made pancakes my first morning there.
Banana pancakes!!! Yummy.
Gramma got me a stop stool so I could climb up and help her when she cooked.

I made this Easter card for Gramma Jo. She thinks it is the nicest Easter card in the World!!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam,
where the deer and the antelope play!"

When I'm done here I'd better mosey on over and round up some doggies.

And here is the doggie! Here's my new puppy, A Cookie (I named him myself!)

Here I am at Gramma Jo and Pa's house for our belated Christmas. We arrived on January 5 and stayed until January 10. I had a great time! This photo was taken when I was getting ready to go to Seattle to visit Grammy and Uncle Jacob.

I was a very good boy, except for when I wasn't. But, what do you expect, I am 2! They don't call them the terrible twos for nothing! But, I am adorable none-the-less and Gramma Jo can't wait to see me again.

Below are a few more photos from our week together. Now that Gramma Jo is working full time in Wenatchee, she doesn't have as much time to help me with my blog. She'll try to do better in the future.

Here I am running through the house. I'm wearing my new Christmas sweater my Gramma Jo knitted for me. Doesn't it look nice with my flannel jammy bottoms? Very stylish!

While visiting Gramma Jo and Pa in Chelan, we went to The Vogue and I had some hot chocolate and a cookie! I love The Vogue. It is my favorite coffee spot in Chelan!

We celebrated my birthday a couple days late. I am 2 years old now! My birthday
was January 3.

Here are some photos from Thanksgiving. Gramma Jo and Pa flew to Cody, WY and Momma and I picked them up at the airport and took them to Worland. A good time was had by all. The photos did not turn out very well; they are mostly blurry. But, what the heck, here they are!

Some times there's just nothing to do except look under carpets for treasures...

No, seriously, I only had three boxes of raisins...

I'll just have a few more....

Just one last box...

Look at the beautiful "baby" grand piano Daddy got me!! It is so cool. I will be a virtuoso before you know it!

Gramma Jo and Pa went with Daddy to see a ghost town in Wyoming. Here are some photos.

On Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Mama took Gramma Jo and Pa to Thermopolis to enjoy the hot springs. Here I am having fun with Mama!!

Here I am reading with Gramma Jo (Dama Doe).

YES, WE DID!
