Dancing With Woody to the "Toy Story" Theme

Bath With the Rancor

Now that we're home I have to make sure my toys didn't feel lonely or neglected while I was gone. That's why I had to take the rancor monster in the tub with me.

Look, he likes it! You can tell because you can see his teeth. That's a smile, right?

Tommy's Crawling! Mom's in Trouble!

Thanks!

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Thanks for the playtime...

The fun...

The relaxation...

And the love.

We love you!

Boat Ride with the Kurtzes

We went over to our friends', the Kurtzes, house for a boat ride. It was Tommy's first one (I'm a seasoned pro after last year). Here he is snuggling with Glenda:

Here are Grandpa, Grandma, Kristin and Glenda on the boat:

Kristin's daughter, Aubrey, is a year older than me and lots of fun.

Here she is sharing her lemon with me, or rather, tricking me into eating it. Sour!

While Grandma and Tommy cuddled on the pontoon...

I went in the water with Lyndon and Aubrey.

Mommy and Kristin came in to play, too!

Then Kristin took Aubrey and me on a raft ride!

Aubrey and I tried to take the wheel when we were leaving...

But we were told we'd have to sit and watch the waves instead.

I love my friend, Aubrey!

Fun in the Pool

As if the lake wasn't already fun enough, Grandma and Grandpa have a kiddie pool and slide at their house. Tommy and Mommy got in on the fun, too...

It looked like so much fun that Dexter got in, too. He was nice enough to let me bathe him a little before he decided he'd rather be tearing around the yard.

Great Aunties

We had lots of visitors at the lake! My great-auntie Janine came by, and had lots of fun goofing around with Tommy...

My great-Auntie Char came over, too.

She played Go Fish with me...

And brought over a Winnie the Pooh computer toy for Tommy and me. I love it...

But Tommy may love it the most. Thanks, Auntie Char!

Christa and Co.

My godmother Christa and her kids, Brode and Jasper, came to visit us at the lake. They're fun!

They showed me how to make paper bag puppets and put on a show...

And gave Tommy lots of love, once he finally woke up.

Thanks for making the trek, Auntie Christa! We love you!

Happy Trails

On the way out to Minnesota our plane was delayed, so we missed our connection in Salt Lake City. They didn't have any flights out to Fargo until the next day, so we had to spend the night in a hotel without our luggage, diapers, formula for Tommy, etc. This seemed to stress Mom and Dad out, but Tommy and I thought staying in a hotel was super fun!

The next day I was a little tired, understandably, so I slept on the plane. Don't worry, that's Mom's beer in front of me, not mine.

Mom and Dad said they may wait awhile before flying with 2 small kids again.

Dexter

Grandma and Grandpa have a new 5 month old puppy named Dexter. At first we weren't so sure about each other, especially since he kept eyeing my Lamby...

But I soon discovered he was just as crazy as I, and we became best friends.

I even had nicknames for him, like "Dex" and "The Fuzzy Guy".

Here he is wrestling with Daddy and me:

He even let me brush him, or at least attempt to:

Tommy thought he was pretty funny too...

But I'm pretty sure he likes me the most.
