What An Adventure!

Hiya folks!  It's been awhile since my last update.  Sorry, I've been really busy!  Going to MN, having lots of fun and oh yeah--turning THREE!  Since there is soooooo much stuff to talk about, I am going to cheat a little and use some of the scrapbook pages Mommy has done to help me along.



It was a LONG drive from Texas to Minnesota and back again.  
Just from our house to my Auntie Tawnda's was over 1000 miles.  
I was a good boy for the drive up and the drive back.  
Don't believe me?  Just ask Mommy.  
Yeah, that crazy woman made the whole trip with just me as her traveling buddy.
Other than some scary weather (think tornado's people), the trip went very smoothly.  
Oh, but were Mommy and I glad to get out of the car.  
We stayed almost 2 weeks and had a lot of fun. 
Keep reading to see more!

I just had to throw this page in there, as I am too cute for words.  
Mommy took these pics and made my two Grandma's cute little photo books
of yours truly for Mother's Day.

One of the best parts of hanging out in Minnesota is spending time with family.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) I was born into a pretty large family and we did not get to see everyone.  This here is me and my cousin Evie.  Evie's world is about to be rocked in a couple months when my Auntie has triplets.  Yeah, you read right.  I will have two boy cousins and a new girl cousin.  I told Mommy and Daddy that I am ready to have my own brother or sister, but nothing yet.  That's okay, Mommy and I (maybe Daddy too) are going to make another trip up to Minnesota to meet the new babies.  Maybe seeing those cute new babies will convince Mommy to have me a brother or sister.  We'll see!

Speaking of sisters, here is Mommy with hers.  Aren't they cute!
This pic was taken at the shower Mommy, Grandma 
and Auntie Jess threw for my Auntie Tawnda.

To be honest the shower was not really my thing,
I mean there wasn't even any water involved.  
Thankfully my Great Auntie Vel was there to keep me occupied.  
Here we are shooting some pool.


I also got to go over to my Grandma Jan's house.  
It is now tradition that me and my cousin Kailey draw all over 
grandma's fridge with dry erase markers.  
It's like her very own personalized art work from her two favorite grandkids.  
This time was some of my finest work.


While at Grandma Jan's I got to play outside with some toys 
that my daddy played with when he was a kid.  It was lots of fun!

Here is a page Mommy made of me with my Grandma Jan.

Yup that's me fishing.  
My very first time.  
Did I catch anything, you wonder? 
Not a darn thing.  
Did I have lots of fun?  
You bet!
I look like a pro, don't I?
Check out the "Cars" fishing pole-nice!
(It was an early b-day gift from Grandpa and Grandma!)

Evie had lots of fun too.
Did she catch anything?
Nope!
Oh well there's always next time!

As per the LAW and for other obvious reasons, 
Grandpa went out and found the smallest helmet he could find, 
so Evie and I could ride on his 4-Wheeler.  
The helmet, while making me look cool, was not all that fun.  
However, better SAFE than sorry!
The ride itself was a lot of fun!  
I wanted to drive, but Grandpa said I wasn't old enough yet. 
Maybe next time.

Since my Minnesota family wouldn't be able to come to Texas for my birthday, 
they through me a little birthday party.  Grandma and Auntie Tawnda went out
and got me an ice cream birthday cake.  Since we had gone fishing that day, they 
thought I should have a fish on my cake.  That fish sure tasted yummy!


Mommy, Auntie Tawnda, Evie and I also headed over to my to visit
with my Great Grandma and Grandpa.  We had a lot of fun and
I think Great Grandma and Great Grandpa had fun too.

I think Mommy took like 20 pics. 
She said something about using her Photoshop to "make"
one that is perfect.  We'll see! 


She did manage to get a good one of Grandpa and Grandma.  
Check out the page she made.

Apparently Grandpa snuck this bad boy into the car.
It also made the long trip back to Texas and I had
Daddy put it together as soon as we got home.  
He is a lot of fun to ride.  


As Mommy becomes more and more skilled at using
Photoshop and digital scrapbooking, she has revisited a
few of her earlier pages to add shadows and such.
This page is one she completely redid, keeping the concept, 
but changing the papers and such.  She now LOVES this
page instead of just liking it!  I agree!

Once we got back to Texas, Mommy was on a mission to 
finish up the planning of my 3rd Birthday Party.  
There was still a lot of work to be done.  
I'll be talking about that joyous occasion in another post.  


Landry's birthday party was Rock Star themed.
We had a lot of fun making musical instruments, 
playing and of course eating yummy birthday cake!

Well that is it for now my peeps!
