Growth Spurt




Here are some pictures of our doggie who has doubled her size since we got her. She'd better get housebroken pretty soon, because she won't fit in her cage much longer!













She looks sad because she knows how to convince mommy to let her out of the cage. How can you resist this face???











Gwyn is now bigger than Trigger, though it is hard to tell by this picture. She likes to pin Trigger down. Finally, someone to put that cat in his place.









I like Gwyn when she is eating because she doesn't chase after me. She is learning to leave me alone, but she is a little slow at catching on. She really likes me because I move a lot and I make a lot of noise!!!

1st Hike of 2007!!!





Here is my mommy showing Gwyn that there is more to the world than our backyard.














And here is me and daddy merrily walking down the road!












Oh wait, I think we're lost!













No way, we aren't asking for directions!!!













So Gwyn decided to see which side of the tree the moss was growing on. Too bad we couldn't decide if it grew on the north side or the south side!











So Gwyn put her amazing sense of smell to test...














And came up with nothing!













But luckily we found our way and made it home alive!!!!

Parents...



Haha, okay okay, here I go....














This is what I think of Parents!!!!

Master Bedroom




Daddy has put his finishing touches on the Master Bedroom. Nothing says Love Suite like remote control dimming lights. That's right, you know you're jealous!











Daddy also rebuilt the closet and put new doors on. It makes the room feel SO much cleaner that mommy has vowed to make the bed every day!!!













I am usually not allowed in the closet since I like to pull everything out, so my mom taught me how to give the cats treats as a distraction when she needs to get something.









This is the other side of the closet. Daddy wanted mommy to take the picture before the laundry was done since it looked much better, but she forgot! It looks much better in person, and there really isn't clothes hanging out of the sides!!!

Big Boy




Sooo, a long time ago mommy bought this seat for me and it was HUGE!!!













Now that I am a big boy I hang out of it!














And I LOVE it!!!

Great Grandma Halgren's



Many hands have touched Great Grandma Halgren's piano, so I had to contribute my musical expertise.














Here I am waiting for my kiss from Great Grandma!












I thought she was funny! I guess I really do have a great family!












I was a little shy with her, but that is just to keep her in suspense. I like to keep them on their toes!

Eatin'



I am always relaxed when I am eating!

Auntie Chaumy and Baby on Board...




Here is Auntie Chaumy letting my little cousin communicate with me through her hand. Just kidding, she was making duck noises and I was cracking up!











I was really intrigued by her quacking hand. Hopefully it is genetic, because my little cousin will be able to entertain me!










Then the duckie kissed me and I started blushing!!!

Hallway Picture


Here is a picture of our hallway, and we are putting it up, because we realized that most people probably haven't seen our hallway since we did it!!!

Oooooohhh!!!





Oooohhhh!













Okay mom, you were right...my face DID get stuck like this!!!












Haha, just kidding!!!! I am still as cute as can be!

New Kitchen Pictures...




Finally we got some pictures of our new kitchen up. Daddy has finished it and we are LOVING it!!!











This is the other side, including the bar that daddy built. It looks awesome!

Sippy for Gwyn...


Now that I have outgrown my little sippy cups, I decided to donate them to the little puppy. The only problem is that she outgrew them already (in just 2 weeks)!

Sick Day!

Here I am comforting mommy on her sick day. She looked rough, so I thought a hug would make her feel better!

Cuddly Towel Time...




Ahhh, there's nothing like a cuddly towel after a nice warm bath!












Now its time to say Goodbye and Goodnight!

Puzzles

Here I am showing my destruction skills. I took apart all of the puzzles, mixed up the pieces, and left my mommy, Auntie Cris and Grandma Judy to try to figure out where they go. It kept them entertained for hours!

Baby Blues!


Who can resist these beautiful baby blues and my nice comb-over (or comb-forward) hair?!

Me & Pops



Daddy and I had some extreme bonding time over our trip to California since Mommy was so sick.

I decided to reward him with one of my special kisses.










We played with the pots and pans and used them as our own little drum set.













We pretended like we weren't up to anything, when we really were!











We had a good laugh over things mommy just wouldn't understand!














We hunted lizards in the backyard and chased them around when we found them.


















We played with the firepit, but he wouldn't let me try to start a fire. I guess I will have to wait for Boy Scouts until I can do that!
















I fed him snacks to keep him refueled so we could play.













And we showed that we can survive without mommy, but we won't ever tell her that.













And of course, I gave him a ton more kisses to show how much I love him!
