Eagle Point Park, Dubuque IA

A month or so ago we were bored on a Saturday so we up and decided to head to Dubuque to Eagle Point Park. We had a lot of fun and the weather was perfect! I loved seeing all of the boats and watching them in the dam. The fish pond was cool too except I couldn't see any fish. We then found a playground for me to run around and climb and I loved it. Here are some pictures we took.

I'm 2!!!!

Well better late than never! I am finally 2 :) I had a Toy Story themed party and the cake and everything was awesome. I was unfortunately sick :( so didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. My aunts, uncles, and cousins came and I am a very loved and spoiled boy! Thank you thank you thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts as Momma didn't get thank you notes out due to my getting ill and going down hill from there. Sorry about that but do know I appreciated them all!!!! Momma's cousin Shawna made me my awesome shirt and then redid my blog design to match. Thank you so much Shawna!!! Below is a show of the pictures from the day.

Madison Zoo

Hi there everyone! It's been a really long time so be prepared to read a lot of updates, starting with this one. Momma has promised to get all of my updates done and give you lots of new pictures to look at. We are going to try something new, a slideshow view of my pictures as that will allow you to see more of me :) Anyway for this first update I went to the Madison Zoo! I got to meet Momma's best friends Rachel and Candace and their kids. Momma hadn't seen them in over 4 years so this was awesome! We had perfect weather and everyone had a blast. I really hope to do this trip again. Enjoy the pictures.

2 Year Pictures

Yesterday I got my 2 year pictures done and I did AWESOME! Momma and Daddy had a ton to choose from and below is a sampling of some of them. We had a lot of fun and I even smiled a lot. I am going to be 2 on Friday the 29th. Wow 2 years has gone by really fast and I get to have a Toy Story party. We ordered my cake tonight and I even have a personalized shirt to wear. I will be sure to post lots of pictures. On another note I learned three new words that I love saying, Minnie Mouse, Thomas, and belly button. I am even starting to put words together like bye bye da-da, where did it go?, all gone, duck says quack. I'm sure now that I am off and running with words I'll be a chatter box in no time.

My reaction to a real train!

Trainfest 2011

On Saturday Aunt Jana, Emerson, Grayson, Momma, and I went to Rock Island, IL for the Trainfestival. We had a lot of fun!!! My cousins and I are HUGE train lovers so this was the perfect way to spend the day. They had real trains going around the tracks and then also ones you could go into. I unfortunately didn't go into any of them as I got scared when they tooted their horns. Below are a few of the many pictures that were taken.

My New Bedroom!

I got a new bed and a train table! I am so happy and love playing in my room now. I am addicted to trains so this has made me a very happy little boy. Mammie (Grandma Jill) was getting rid of my Uncle Aaron's bed so we decided to take it as it gives me a lot of storage for all of my toys. I will need extra storage as I am turning 2 in under 2 weeks and I tend to be spoiled :) Wow the past 2 years have flown by! I am going to have a Toy Story party since Chuggington stuff isn't out yet and Toy Story is my second favorite thing. I love Buzz and Woody and talk about them all of the time. I will be sure to post lots of pictures from my party.
