Cloud Dough

Mom found a real cool thing to make called cloud dough.

It's kinda like sand...so we made a sand castle.

While I was playing in my "sand", dad and his friend Steve were building a fence.

I really wanted to help them. 

I got out my big dump truck lots of times, but it just wasn't happening. 

So I got a GREAT idea...

I made my own construction site!

It was pretty awesome!

It was like Christmas!

A few weeks ago, me and mom went to the toy store to buy a birthday present for Jo.

I saw this really cool crane and I really wanted it, but mom said no.

She thinks I have too many toys.

I even asked if I could call dad and ask him if I could get it...

but she said no again.

I talked about that crane for the next few weeks.

Mom and dad kept telling me I have too many toys.

About a week ago, I told mom that I was ready to get rid of some of my toys so I could get the crane. Mom said if I got rid of some that we would go to the toy store and see if the crane was still there. We went through all my toys and got rid of the broken and yucky toys.

On the way to the toy store, mom told me that the crane might not be there.

I told her that I would be sad, but I understood.

We went to both toy stores...

No crane!

I was upset, but I didn't get mad or cry.

Mom said we could look on the computer and see if we could find one.

We did!

Mom ordered it...and told me that it would take a week to come.

"A week is a LONG time"!

Guess what finally came?!

"I'M SO HAPPY!"

It's pretty much the coolest crane ever!

"I love my new crane!"

Father's Day 2011

I have been very excited about Father's day.

I've been checking on dad's present every day for almost a week...just because.

Mom made me let dad sleep in today...it was SO hard for me.

I passed part of the time by making dad a card.

I didn't let mom help me at all.

I wrote dad's name and my name and "his favorite things"

-the little circle is the finger that he hurt.

-then I drew dad and the mountain he climbed

-and I drew him a rocket

When dad finally woke up I made him come open his present right away.

I helped.

We got dad guys from his favorite show.

The punching guys.

dad thought they were pretty cool.

Happy Father's day dad...I LOVE you!

My rescue force

Mom and dad were gone for 7 days.

I stayed home with Grandma Bonnie.

I had lots and lots of fun and I miss Grandma every day, now that she is gone.

Before mom left she told me that if I was really good for Grandma, that I could earn the really cool fire truck that I have been really wanting.

I WAS GOOD!

The fire truck goes with my ambulance from Santa.

Every fire truck needs an ambulance.

Me and dad have lots of fun playing with my fire truck and ambulance.

We even have 2 fire fighters. They are named "Bob" and "Builder".

My fire truck has 2 ladders.

A little one and a really long one that turns round and round all by itself.

I LOVE my new fire truck.

Oh and mom also brought me some maracas from Mexico, but I don't really care that much about them....I just like my fire truck!
