Back to the home front...

We are back home in cloudy cold Utah...

We sure had a fun trip!

Here are some more pictures that mommy took while we were there.

Cameron jumping over Sdeve...

ZZ...

The big boy swing!

"Don't stand on the stools!"

Shi-du the baby!

and everyone's favorite...

In n out..."choc-it milk"

Aunt Manny took videos of mommy, daddy and everyone else on the big rides.  Mommy and daddy were in the front on both of these...if you hear lots of screaming...it's mommy!

Gamma even went on this one!

I am glad to be home in my bed and to play with my toys.  I am glad that I don't have to ride in the car anymore....but I sure do miss my ZZ and Calmrun...hope to see you soon!

Are we in Seattle?

Today whenever we went outside it was "a raining"...and "all wet".  So we went to Old Sacramento to see some trains.  Sdeve and Jamie rode in "mommy's car"...Sdeve taught me some fun new counting tricks!

There were lots of "big trains....choo choo"....

And Thompson train was there to play with...

at night time mommy put one of Sdeve's shirts on me and then handed me an egg with gween water.  She told me to put the egg in the cup.  I kept trying to crack the egg on the side like mommy does...but she said..."no, just drop it in".  I finally did and the gween water got every where!

Mommy showed me all my eggs turning colors! 

"see...boo egg"!

don't really know why we did that...but it sure was fun playing with the eggs and all the water!

"Six Flags...the more flags...the more fun"

Wednesday we spent the day playing at the biggest park I have ever been too...it was a lot of fun!

This is mama's family (some of them)...I know all their names and ask for each of them every morning when I wake up.  "Calmrun" didn't want to be in the picture...

but that is okay...'cause he is my buddy and likes to take care of me!

This is grandma and papa.  I was very tired by the end of the day so I just wanted to "shi-du gamma"...she said I could "shi-du" anytime!

Uncle Steve has "big muscles"! 

He won this for Calmrun...

I went on my very first ride with daddy...it was a lot of fun!

...for about 30 seconds!

There were lots of rides at this park.  Mommy and daddy went on some BIG rides that went really fast and up side down.  There were lots of rides that I was too little for...but some rides I could go on if mommy or daddy came with me.  Some of the rides I asked to go on...others mommy asked if I wanted to go on them...we would watch them once and then I would tell her "no"...but not the "froggies"....I loved this ride!

I also got to ride in a helicopter...

My favorite was riding on "Thompson train" (mommy says his name is Thomas...whatever)...

daddy and I went on Thompson 2 times...we rode on Clarabel.

There were also lots of animals at this park!  We watched two little tigers playing....I told mommy "I go in play tigers".  Mommy said I couldn't, but there were 3 "guys" in there with them...so I wanted to too!  Calmrun asked the "guys" what tigers eat...they told him that tigers eat little kids that don't listen to their parents....you should have seen Calmrun's face...mommy, picki, gamma and manny were laughing real hard.

There were dolphins and a whale at the park...

mommy says these shows ain't got nothing on SeaWorld!

We had such a fun day!  I went on a lot of rides and watched Calmrun go on a lot more.  ZZ even went on lots of rides with Jamie (I love Jamie and I have to know where she is at all times). I really like this big park and I hope we can come again when I am a little bigger!

A rainy Tuesday....

This morning mommy went to the "emple"...

She said it was very pretty, but VERY small!

It started raining during my nap....hard!  So mommy went with "Vicki, Manny, and Gamma" to buy some beads to make necklaces...I'm sure they had a lot of fun!

Then the rain stopped a little bit so we went shopping...

I did a lot of running...and found a lot of these...

(that's my new birthday sweatshirt from Steve...it's very cozy)

daddy actually put "money" in so the "motocycle" moved!

Gamma made us all dinner...Kensie and her friend didn't want Gamma's rice, chicken, salad and bread, so Jamie made them cheesy tacos...I wanted one...mommy said no...I got mad and pushed my plate away...HARD....I had to sit on Kensie's bed....I ate my rice, bread and some peaches...never did get that cheesy taco!

2nd birthday take 3...

Mommy decided to throw my another birthday party in California so my Jones cousins could celebrate with me...she made cupcakes with cars on them....I LOVE cars!

I wasn't as scared when everyone sang to me this time...

and I even blew out my candle...

well, the wind helped!

I was very excited about all my presents!

"tank ew evey one"!

The cupcakes were pretty good too!

These are my partying friends (don't mind my tears...I didn't feel good)...

Cameron, Kensie, Grant and Sterling (we missed you Sophie).

Grant and Sterling are the kids of girls mommy lived with before she lived with daddy!

Grant brought me this toy...

I played with it for a LONG time!

My party was at a real big park...I really like parks, but I didn't go on any slides today...

My body doesn't really like the change in residences and climates so here is what it has done...

1. hives and stuffies 'cause of Sophie's cats

2. cough and more stuffies

3. more cough and runny nose

4. really bad hives covering my tummy and back and arms. (Mommy doesn't know if it is the heat or maybe my "birthday boy" shirt that was washed with daddy's clothes and a dryer sheet). ---mommy gave me a pink "bedicine" before the party to help with all the funny things my body is doing and I felt pretty tired, hot and cranky.  But for a tired, hot and cranky boy...mommy said I did really good!  And I did have fun!

My very own place...

to watch "mike and kitty"...

Keepin' the Sabbath...with my cousins

Such a fun day...

scootin' with my cousins...

bonding with Kensie...

Uncle Steve and Cameron...

A little time by the pool...

this is Kensie's old life jacket...she let me use it...I don't like it!

I also don't like cold water or wet pants...

So mommy let me kick it like this...

check out my glasses (they're Kensies), I'm just like Uncle Steve sportin' the girl glasses!

I got really brave and made it to the 2nd step...

Then I was cold and mommy bundled me all up!!!

Uncle Steve knows how much I LOVE to throw rocks...

so he took us all to the river!

(see...my glasses)

Mommy thought we all were so good that she let us lick the bowl from the cupcakes she was making for my "other birthday"...

I really had such a fun day!
