S-N-O-W

BY EASTON

It snowed this week! I was so excited. Mommy got me all bundled up 

Then out we went.

Fern LOVED chasing snowballs.

I loved leaving prints in the snow.

Mommy built a snowman and I set a new record for "Destroying a Snowman in the SHORTEST amount of time" 

See?

Nap-time

BY EASTON

NAP? Who needs a nap!!?!? Naps are for babies.

Besides I have PLENTY of energy.

What I've been up to

BY EASTON

I've been super busy since I last wrote. I am growing crazy fast. I'm getting so tall that I can now reach every drawer in the kitchen. You wouldn't believe all of the exciting things I've found in there! My favorite drawer in the kitchen is what Mom calls the "junk drawer". I even found some gum that Mom is so good at hiding from me. She caught me eating a piece. It was YUMMY.

For Pioneer Day we lit fireworks. I did one all by myself.

I have two new friends that I take care of. MY FISH! I helped Mommy pick them out and put them in their new home, which sits on my dresser. I am so good at feeding them. I even tried eating their food. It didn't taste as good as the gum I found in the junk drawer.

I've gotten really good at art. Mom gives me crayons and markers. They work good but you know what I found in the "junk drawer"? A PEN! It works so much better. It writes on me...and the couches....not so much on Fern but she wouldn't hold still.

Daddy had a big race in Jackson. Mommy said I was such a good boy because it was a LONG drive. I loved the hotel we stayed in. It had a very bouncy bed!

We went camping last week. I always love camping but this time was extra special because there was lots of SNOW! I got to go on a motorcycle and 4wheeler ride with Daddy. I am such a good camper!

We also found out that I am going to be a BIG BROTHER!! I got to watch the video the doctor took of Mommy's tummy. You can see the little baby with a beating heart. I love pointing out the heart and smiling and laughing. I'm going to be the best big brother!

I am learning so many new things! The past few weeks I've gotten especially good at communicating. I use sign language to tell Mommy when I want more cookies (I also use rolling around on the floor screaming to communicate that one too - very effective!) I'm also using lots of words. I used to call my doggy "woof woof", but since I'm getting so grown up I call her "da" now (that means dog). I also say moon, hotdog, mama, dad, and even phrases like "all done". Mommy took a video and tested me the other day. She said I got an A + + which is apparently pretty good. I was kind of busy when she was trying to record me - I had big things to do. Good thing I'm so good at multi-tasking. And it's fun getting Mommy to chase me around. In this video I even show you my whistling skills! Check it out!

Daddy's Day!

BY EASTON

Tomorrow is Father's day. It's the day we celebrate dads. I don't know if you have heard or not, but I have the most incredible daddy EVER. I'm so grateful to have him as my daddy.

Here are my favorite things me and daddy do.

*I ride in my special backpack while he mows the lawn.
*I stand watch at the window each morning when he goes to work. He always looks back and waves twice.
*I run to the door squealing every time he gets home then I run away fast and he chases me.
*We wrestle, I'm getting really good!
*I love finding daddy's deodorant and trying to put it on. After that I get out his electric shaver and try to shave. I just found out how to turn it on! Mommy moved it to another place I can't reach because she says she doesn't want me to shave my head.
*Daddy reads me stories at night. I always turn around and back up into him so I can sit on his lap.
*Daddy sings me my favorite songs when he puts me to bed at night.
*Daddy takes me exploring when we go camping.
*Daddy lets me "drive" the 4wheeler with him.
*We play ball together.
*I love to visit daddy at work! He lets me work on bikes
*He gives me blessings when I'm sick
*He is my best friend - wherever he goes is where I want to be.

I love you daddy! Happy Daddy's Day! I will give you lots of extra slobbery and snotty kisses!
