85th birthday celebrations and more springtime activities.

So spring is in full swing...we are having birthday parties at the lake. My great grandma Lois turned 85 in March and we all went to grandpa's lake to celebrate. I, of course, had a blast running and playing, even though daddy said I couldn't go tubing.
Maybe soon...
But I did run.
And chased Hady.
And play frisbee and soccer, even Charley joined in.
Hady got some love from her aunts and uncles.
And of course, yummy birthday cake.
We have been busy so far this spring. Daddy is busy taking care of the yard which means I spend a lot of time chasing him on my four wheeler and Hady tries to get daddy to take her for rides. When we aren't busy around the house, we head to the lake. I helped daddy and papa put the boat in and it was a piece of cake. Last weekend we enjoyed our first boat ride of the season on Lake Lemon.
Oh, they go so fast...NOT!
Mommy thinks Hady is just adorable all the time...I disagree about the all the time part.
She loves her boots and wears them at all the wrong times.
One of my favorite things...fishing with papa!
Another good one...boat driving!
Lets not forget the dogs...even Kuma!
Waiting on the big one at the dock!
Pretty rough life I know.

Spring time in Indiana.

Spring was here when we got back from Florida. In a way it felt like we were still on vacation, but we just didn't have the beach or the ocean and the pools aren't open yet either. Mommy and daddy found other fun things to do.

One morning we went and bought Hady a pair of rainboots and headed to the creek. Hady really couldn't manuever around very well in her boots the first day so she did a lot of standing. I did the exploring. If we headed back to the creek again, Hady would come exploring with me for sure. Her new boots are one of her favorite accessories. We find her in the garage all the time slipping them on.

I am four and ready to conquer the world!
Mommy snapped a picture of the little walking Hady did do on her own.
See I can even move rocks that are almost as big as me.



Then to enjoy the weather, we headed to the farm. A favorite place of mine to hang with daddy but this time mommy and Hady came along. It was fun to have the girls but the farm is kind of a boys thing.
We found some hay bales.
Hady sat.
I jumped.
Daddy's favorite place.


Headed H.O.M.E.

Florida

Today was back to our every day life of school in the morning, play time in the afternoon. Last week was my adventurous life at the beach. Nana, Papa, mommy, Hady and I spent the week in Naples, Florida. We missed daddy but we lived it up with a ton of beach time, pool time and a little killing time in between.
We loved the pool. Hady spent a lot of time on the edge and did a ton of splashing.
And a little pouring.
And some walking.
I did a lot of swimming.
A little kickboarding.
Had some fun with Nana.
We took fish hunts, went on lizard hunts and took many morning walks. We even saw a giant hermit crab one morning on the little beach we walked to. I might have just put a finger or two on its shell.
We did a whole lot of pool jumping with Papa. Hady will learn to jump on the right number when she learns to count to three.
We hit the beach for some relaxing and fun in the sun and sand.
My highlight...being buried in the sand.
Sunsets on the beach are always a hit. I asked mommy last night if we could see go watch the sunset last night and she said it isn't the same when you aren't on the beach.
We missed things up one morning and hit the zoo. There were lions, tigers, a boat ride to see monkeys and lots of playing.
Oh yeah...Did I mention I rode a camel?
Overall, a good trip! This is our attempt at a 'family' pic. We just needed another photographer besides mommy present.
Until next year!

This week.

It has been a good one.
The weather was perfect.

I got to wear pajamas to school and then I got to go to the park in my pjs because I had a park date with my best bud Adrienne.

























I got to spend the night at Papa and Nana's house and this time Hady joined me. Papa and I went on a late night run to the grocery store so we could have ice cream cones. Couldn't be much better, right?

This weekend we have another visitor at our house....it has four legs and his name is Louie. Louie has a lot of energy just like me so yesterday after naps we went outside to enjoy the sunshine. It was cooler but we had a little fire and Louie and I ran wild. Reagan enjoys the outdoors too but doesn't appreciate the leash so it was me and Louie.
