Remembering this day...

Take a moment to remember 8 years ago today...
Where you were...
How you learned of the devastating news...
The feeling you felt in the pit of stomach...
The first person you thought of...
The first person you called...
and the many, many people that lost... so much... on that day...

It's great to be an American and live with the freedoms that some people could never even dream of.

Take a moment to remember the heroes that lost their lives in the tradgedy of 9-11-01, and appreciate the heroes that protect us everyday, here and abroad.

The bravest men and women that I know... THANK YOU for everything that you do!!!

Park it...

Mommy and Daddy decided to have a park party for my 2nd birthday, so Mommy took me to the park to "test" everything out.

Well, I sure did try everying...

Climbed up the ladder...

Crawled through the tubes...

Went down the slide...

Then she made the party invitations with the pics...  Cool huh?

Well, hope to see everyone at my party!!!

NO... MY Paulie!!!

Unclie Paulie came over and decided to help me build a "tower", I know, VERY creative!

We were doing great... Unclie Paulie was making sure that we used the right pieces.

Then I tried to move it.... and... well... do you see the look on his face?

He helped me build it as high as it would go...

We had a great time building our "tower"! My Unclle Paulie is the BEST!!! NO, he's MY Paulie!!

Life's a Beach!!!

Mommy and Aunt Shannon took me and the boys to the beach a few week's ago and we had a blast. I had so much fun playing in the water.

Then Aunt Shannon and I looked for sand crabs, those are these funny looking bugs that dig in the sand.

The boys were like crab catching pros!!

We had so much fun, and stayed busy looking for them, that before we knew it, it was time to eat.

After we had some snack, it was about time to go home... Whew, was it hot there!!

Well... I'll catch ya later dude! See ya at the beach next time!

Yay... ZOO time!!

I had so much fun and Busch Gardens, that Mommy and Daddy decided to take me to the ZOO!!!

My friends Corey and Andrew came along... We looked at the animals together and they even helped me reach so I could see more.

They even had dogs, they called them singing dogs, but they were still doggies!

Then I saw this REALLY BIG fluffy bird with a long neck and skinny legs, that was a funny looking bird.

Then we were allowed to get in with the animals and get close enough to pet some of them...

I think Corey was even talking with one of them.

Here's a pic of all of us (except Daddy, someone had to take the pic).

The TV is where???

Check this out!! A TV in the floor!! They must have had so many TVs that they decided to cover the floor in them too! I loved it, kept trying to step on peoples faces, but they moved too quickly. lol

Happy Birthday Daddy and Erika!

While we were in Naples, we decided to go out to dinner to celebrate Daddy's and Erika's birthdays. We had to wait for a table, so I found a toy to keep myself amused...

WOW, what a good looking group! The food was yummy and everyone had a great time!

Happy Birthday daddy and Erika!

Happy 4th of July!!!

OK, so your probably like... 4th of July, that was like 2 months ago! Yes, it was, but that just means that Mommy is catching up FINALLY!!!!

So what a great time I had in Naples for 4th of July... imagine... an entire weekend on the beach, playing in the sand and that "oh so fun" wada...

Got to hang out with the girls and sip on some cocktails... OK, so mine were more like diluted juice, but you couldn't tell from the outside (wink, wink)!

I had a blast playing in the sand and making sand castles, but I had my most favorite time playing in the sand with my Aunt Lauren, she showed me how to make shells, octupus and other fun stuff in the sand!

I was having so much fun, I didn't want to take a nap and miss a thing, but then mommy found me in my crib sleeping... guess I fell asleep reading my firetruck book that Papa Dana got me!

Papa Dana, Papa Dana, I love you!

Papa Dana came down from Ohio to visit with us in the summer... We had so much fun with Papa Dana! He took us to this restaurant so fancy, I wasn't allowed to draw on the menu. :(

Then he let me ride on his shoulders...

but only after I laid this one on him at the restaurant!

I think we have the same eyes... what do you think?

Stylin' Baby!!!

Check me out in my new ride! I had so much fun with the wagon from grandma's that I got the parents to give in and get a wagon for home too... HA!
